GMM 2510: International Dunkin’ Donuts Taste Test

We’re trying Dunkin’ Donuts from around the world again. Let’s talk about that. ((Intro Music)) Good Mythical Morning. Quick announcement, today starts the final week of season 24. It’s always bittersweet to come to the end of a season, but do not fret, we still got you covered in the weeks after. That’s right, we’re gonna be doing our annual best of episodes and a batch of new marathons over the next couple of weeks, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Now, all the way back in 2018, we tried a whole bunch of Dunkin’ Donuts from around the world, and of course we guessed where those donuts came from via dart. But so many doughnutty developments have happened since then, so how could we resist trying even more? We couldn’t. It’s time for – [Both] Where in the World Do These International Dunkin’ Donuts Come From? Part 2. ((Music)) – [Stevie] Okay boys, as always, you’re gonna eat what’s in front of you and throw your darts at the map to guess where you think it came from. And Chase the “Would You Like Coffee With That?” cartographer is going to measure how close you are to the correct answer. I like your Dunkin’ Donuts apron. Oh, thank you. I’ve got some new shorts. Oh nice. These are my cappuccinos. Oh, dang, get it? Get it y’all? Would you like some coffee with that? These things are so effortless. We would love some hot coffee, Chase. Oh, of course. And while Chase is pouring that coffee, Stevie just a little note for season 25, maybe you could just start saying, okay, men. ((Laughing)) – [Stevie] Okay. Sure, I’ll try, I’ll try out an “okay, men”, in a future episode. What about fellers? Okay, fellers. – [Stevie] Alright, I’ll put some more synonyms in my greetings. And of course. Duderinos. – [Stevie] Well, don’t push it. Because America runs on Dunkin’, today’s loser must run laps around the studio at the winner’s request in Good Mythical More. And Link, since you lost last game, you have a couple of advantage options this time. Of course, the Veto Cheeto that hasn’t been used in three games. Why should it? – [Stevie] Or you can use the new running shart. Uh, shoe dart, that is. Which allows you to place a shoe print wherever you want to on the map. That’s pretty powerful. I suggest potentially using the shoe dart. And look at this, it is a Dunkin’. It’s a Dunkin’ Donuts, well, Fila, Mythical three way collaboration. Oh, wow. The coloring? Did we tell Fila? No. Not a sponsor. – [Stevie] So you can go ahead and pull in the. I feel guilty not using this. – [Stevie] First donut. Link, I’m gonna cut it for you. And me. Oh, did you see that come out? Oh my gosh. Did you see that? – [Link] Oh, gross. Is that the mouth of a? You get that side. That’s all, all the chocolate came out of that side. Since these are from all over the map, were these ordered or recreated by the kitchen? – [Stevie] Recreated Man, that’s so. Oh goodness. Chocolatey. Oh, that’s good. Going everywhere. I think it’s just normal chocolate. With potato chips on top. But the potato chips seem to be specific. Specifically what? Pringles. They are Pringles. But we don’t know if. I’m gonna leave this here, cause I do. There’s a question you’re asking, is it a Pringles collab, like our collab with Fila, for the. Right. For that, or is it just the only chips that Trevor could find? You wanna go for a Türkiye? I’m gonna go with the fact that it is That it is Pringles. So where are Pringles enjoyed? Probably worldwide. I’m pulled towards Canada and the United Kingdom, and then I’m equally pulled towards the Philippines and Australia. Oh, I’m pulled a little bit more east. So I’m gonna go Philippines. Or. He’s feeling the “pines” but he’s too high. Too high, too high, too high. I disagree with your answer, so I’m not gonna use the Veto Cheeto. I am feeling, not the “pines” But I’m being drawn to Australia. There’s nothing wild about it. I mean, it’s a very solid chocolate donut with just chips scattered on it. It really could be anywhere. Not even really placed, just kind of scattered. But why am I going for a country and a continent that is on such an extreme part of the map? Because that’s what my gut is telling me. Follow your gut. And I gotta listen to it, this late in the season. Australia. Hello. Hello, boys. Hello, duderinos. There you go. Oh, dang. That almost, right off the mat. It was as if there was a breeze, a downward. Hey, Chase, did you blow? No. Did you create a nor’easter? I think Chase blew on that one. So weak. Chase, you poured hardly any coffee in my cup. Hey, would you like some more coffee? Yeah. – [Stevie] You just had a Pringles doughnut. The pillow shaped doughnut with chocolate icing made by Trevor and chocolate filling also made by Trevor is topped with original Pringle, Pringles crumbles and was available for a limited time in a place where trendy and eye catching desserts are all the rage. South Korea. Oh! – [Link] Man. You lucked into it. That’s right, I lucked into it. ((Laughing)) I lucked into it. You really did. What do you mean? Why do you say it? I felt, the thing I didn’t say to you when I was talking about the Philippines and Australia and Canada and the United Kingdom, the thing it was, it was secretly happening was that I was like in South Korea, it was not a bad guess and that makes three countries that are good guesses and two countries that are good guesses And then I got lucky on the high throw. All right, Rhett, you had 6. That’s not many. You had 33. I’d like to veto that. Too late! Too late! – [Chase] Sorry. ((Laughing)) ((Music)) An orange one with. It’s a Halloween donut. It’s got, or just a fall donut. Yeah, but kind of strange. – [Chase] Before you take a bite, would you like some coffee with that? – [Link] No, thank you. Pumpkins on top. Oh, that’s an orange icing. Yeah, it’s not pumpkin at all. It is super citrusy. Oh, man. And then that gumdrop thingy, I mean, that is a pumpkin. You didn’t even eat it. Well, I ate enough of it. Not pumpkin at all. But then it’s pumpkin on top. Which is confusing, right? Because if it tasted like pumpkin, I would be like, Canada. Why? Because I don’t really know how the world thinks about the fall outside of America. Like, this is almost like a Halloween donut. Like, the orange, the pumpkin, and so I would be like, oh, do they bring out the pumpkins everywhere in the world around the fall? I don’t think so. I think that’s kind of like a North American thing, right? But when it’s orange, though, it throws everything off. Right. The flavor, I mean. So does that send us to the UK, or does that send us all the way down to Australia? Maybe it’s somebody who’s like trying to do a Halloween donut, but then they culturally they got kind of their wires crossed. It’s not a bad guess, which could, and then you’re kind of in like a Philippine situation. I think that actually, I’m kind of going back to where I was in the Philippines and Australia. Also, both of them making sense. There are two countries that seem like good guesses. So I’m gonna kind of go in between the Philippines and Australia. Oh, almost hit the. – [Link] Oh man, you’re getting close to the “pines” every time. I think this could be Turkey, but when I think of Spain, I think of the color orange. Why’s that Link? Like. I don’t know, I think that’s the color of their soil. I don’t know. Spanish soil is orange? Bring in the paint, cause I’m gonna use my advantage now. Wow, we have an early advantage usage? This is unprecedented. I’m spanning Spain and Türkiye Maybe trying to get a little United Kingdom in there. – [Rhett] Wow, you’re gonna cover three countries with one shoe? But I do not think that you are right with Philippines. I am not feeling the “pines”. Oh, and then what’s happening here? Would you like some coffee with this paint? No, thank you. Let me taste Chase’s coffee. Watch out, you’re dripping. Off the back. Did that go on you? – [Link] Do you want to spot me by like holding that as like? – [Chase] Sure, yeah. – [Link] So I’m gonna go this way. And then I’m gonna stay right here. Thanks, Rhett. And then. I used my cool beans. You get it? Yeah, and then you take that. There you go. There you go. Good job! – [Rhett] You don’t even have to move. This is really, Chase is doing most of the work here. And then I’m gonna tighten this down. I am on the clock. And now, yeah, I did get it on my shoe. Alright, so now. – [Rhett] Is it washable? – [Link] Watch your, I’ll just remember it forever. Now you get one press, not a double press. Oh, Hey. Oh, come on. ((Laughing)) What? Are you serious? I mean, that’s not that bad. You almost got Spain. You almost got Spain. Hey, that was it. That was it. Where’s the rest of the shoe? That was it, man. I think it’s because of your angle. Yeah, it was your angle. Should have gone high. Stevie. – [Stevie] Okay. I did get a little on my shoe there. Oh, but it matches. Yeah, it kind of looks cool. – [Stevie] You just had the Wicked Orange Donut. It’s an orange glazed donut with pumpkin shaped gummies on top released as part of the 2023 Haunted Dozen Box for Halloween this year in the United Kingdom. – [Link] Oh, right. – [Rhett] Dang it. – [Link] And if the paint would have worked how I thought I would have gotten zero. Yeah, true. You tried to cover it. Because I literally, the shoe covered it. Don’t complain too much, you just, that was, that was a good round for you. I’m not complaining, I’m just incredulous. Alright, Rhett, you had 41. Oh, that’s a lot. Link. Gosh, I’m making it worse. Oh, oh, oh. – [Chase] Sorry about that. Would you like some coffee with that? Shouldn’t have done that. You probably want to put some coffee on your shoe now. Link, you got 6. Oh, good! Oh! But my shoe is permanently stained. Yep. Paint the whole thing blue now. ((Music)) But before I cut this, Stevie, just try it out. Just say, like, okay men, there’s a purple donut in front of you. I just want to see how it feels. – [Stevie] Okay men, there’s a purple donut in front of you. Strange. I kind of liked it. It’s like a sign on a restroom. Purple donut? Purple donut. With a little bit of, it’s cakey. Whoa. What’s going on here? What is that? You think it’d go well with some coffee? I’d say. You got any cream? No, I, no I don’t, I’m sorry. Dang it. It’s not really sweet. – [Rhett] It’s unusual. It’s very cakey. It’s unusual, Link. You’re in the lead, you have to make your choice first. I took the lead? Yeah, man. I got, like, a lot on that last one. I’ll be danged. It’s very flowery. Like, the white stuff you turn into, like, other baked goods. Not like something that has petals. Got it. It’s like flour. It has a consistency of coconut, but there is no coconut in it, because I wouldn’t know that. What is that? Is it taro? This might be the root of taro. Which I believe is purple. I think they’re putting that stuff all in things in Ethiopia. Also Türkiye Maybe a little bit of Spain. I don’t know. I’m in that area. My guess is Ethiopia. But my throw is gonna be closer to Turkey. Which might make it land in Ethiopia. Well this is. Türkiye I’m excited. For one. Here we go. Oh yeah. I accept that. Wow. Did you? It spun. From this angle? What happened? My quarterback days. Well, you’ve, interestingly, you’ve, by putting your dart sideways, you’ve blocked, I can’t even see Türkiye anymore. How did that happen? Which was going to be my guess. It’s like I threw it from over there. See, I think it tastes like, pistachios almost. You know, but like, the taro is a good guess because. It is nutty. A little bit nutty. The closest thing I can track this to is like something that might be on like a baklava. So you’re thinking Türkiye too? Yeah, but, can I get closer? What if I hit your dart? What happens then? I ever done that before? I get to put it back where it was. Well your dart, I’m not gonna take your dart out. It’s not a shuffleboard. But I’m really trying to aim where your, I’m trying to aim where your dart is and try to get closer to Türkiye Oh! Way high, way high. Like Michelle Obama. Yep. When the Link goes low, I go high. Stevie, before you, do you want some coffee with that? – [Stevie] Yeah, kind of. Thanks. Yeah, go ahead. You guys just had an Ube Cheese Butternut donut. Oh man. – [Stevie] A chocolate donut combining cheesy, coconutty, and ube-y flavors. Thank you, Chase. Philippines. – [Stevie] Oh, you hear that? ((Coffee Pouring)) ((Laughing)) So satisfying. – [Stevie] Both ube and this donut originate in the Philippines. Oh, you didn’t feel the “pines”. Yes, the purple ube. You can get that ube ice cream some places. Oh, “bae”. I think we were both pretty far away, though. Alright, Rhett, 31. Link, 35. A close game. A close game. ((Music)) Today is a very special day. As you can see, I’ve been wearing The Christmas Face pin, which is our official Pin of the Month. You know, we’ve been doing this every month, for all of 2024, where you have 24 hours to go and get this soft enamel pin with a decorative card backing. Now, today is extra special. Yes, there’s yours. Rhett, did you say 2024? Yeah. 2024. ((Laughing)) It was 2023. You’re already in next year. I’m always in the future. We’ve been doing it for 2023. But today is even more special because a lot of you have said, oh man, I wasn’t, I was sick or I was out of town. I forgot about that one. That was sold earlier in the year. And so we, in addition to selling this one, the Christmas face Pin of the Month. We’re selling every single pin from this year’s Pin of the Month program is available for 24 hours. Take your pick. Anyone you missed or if you want to double up or give them as gifts or whatever, you can get any pin you want. He just told you, you know what year it is. Yeah, right. 24 hours in 2023. And also, this right here, you can get this the bulletin board. The cork display board. To put them all on. There you go. Mythical.com. 24 hours only. Now let’s see if I can get this donut to take a little crap for us. Four centimeters celebrate, uh, separate. Celebrate. Hey, don’t celebrate so soon, Link. You’re only up by four centimeters. Watch out, I don’t want to cut you. I don’t want to cut you. That one didn’t take a crap. This is a good looking donut on the outside. On the inside, I think we might have caramel. What do we have? Man, that’s. – [Link] Yep. This is. Oh, there’s more stuff in there. Chocolate white icing. Crushed walnuts. That’s just a solid donut. Not a lot to go on here. You’re still up, Link. You’re still in the lead. I could be feeling the “pines” again, even though it’s now been taken. Yeah, well, feel all you want to. It’s good to, it’s fun to say. Because it’s such an accessible design. You know, nuts, chocolate, caramel, it’s pulling me either to like Canada or Australia. Yeah, that’s exactly what I was gonna say Link. So, whatever one you pick I’ll just pick the other one and that will be the, that will be the game. I’m gonna tell you right now I’m putting the game completely in your hands. If you go Australia, I go Canada. If you go Canada, I go Australia. Should I trust it? That’s a promise That’s a promise. I’m not going to copy you. I’m letting you decide. I’m going the opposite. Because you’re right. It is one of those two. Okay. So the thing that I’m really doing is? Winning or losing the game. Thinking about what my second choice is because Australia is close to India and Ethiopia, which haven’t been taken. Canada is close to Spain and kind of Peru. I want to say Canada so bad, but my heart is telling me Australia. But it already told me Australia before, and my heart betrayed me. At the very beginning. This is awesome. So that sends me back to Canada. Oh! And then I start thinking. ((Laughing)) But should I give my heart a second chance? I want to be the type of person that is about second chances. Be kind to yourself. And I want, I want to be able to listen to my heart. Science says if you caress your own face, it makes you feel better. And if you hug your own body. Yeah. Oh. Parasympathetic nervous system activation? Something like that? I don’t know, I read an article. My heart’s sending me to Australia. Oh! And I, and you have to aim for it. Oh, I swear to you, if you’re going for Australia, I will, I’m gonna do everything I can to land in Canada. Oh, that’s low. It’s okay, though. You’ve left the door open. That was bad. That was bad, wasn’t it? Shoot. I’m a man of my word. Just a bad throw. Have some coffee to help with that. Chase is here to help. Hug yourself. Hug yourself. Okay, watch out, Link. I’d love some cream, but. I should be able to hit Canada. I really should be able to. – [Link] There it is. – [Rhett] Did I actually hit red? Did it hit red? – [Link] Only the most. Chase, we’re going to have to leave this up to you because this is completely inside of Canada, but it’s technically in that water. – [Link] I don’t think you hit. So that’s a no. ((Laughing)) – [Link] Yep, that’s a no. You got to measure to the dot. But if he would have hit the red, you wouldn’t measure to the dot, right? It doesn’t matter. – [Chase] Correct, yeah. Okay. It doesn’t really matter. – [Stevie] You just had a Delirium Donut. It’s a yeast donut filled with manjar blanco, a custard that resembles Dulce de Leche, and topped with chocolate icing, pecans, and caramel. Manjar blanco filled desserts are popular in many Spanish speaking countries, but this donut is from Peru. Oh! Link, it was all in your hands, bro. It wasn’t caramel. It was like, de leche, Dulce de Leche. – [Stevie] There’s caramel involved, yes. Link, you had 59. Rhett, 30. Oh, hey, hey, listen. It’s not over. It’s not over. ((Music)) Wow, that is an eye popping donut. 25 centimeters, celebrate, I just want to say celebrate the leaders. You wanna celebrate. Do you have a feeling you’re still gonna win? You could. I could, yeah. Oh, and there is something. Oh, there is a layer. There’s a layer of chocolate. It’s like a Cookie Monster flavor, at least colored donut. I’ve never had a donut with just marshmallows on the outside like that. I like it. It’s very cushiony. What happened to your donut? Did you dissect it? I’m trying to figure out what’s on the inside of it. Alright, Link, I’ve taking the lead. So little to go on here. Yep. There’s not any unusual flavors in terms of, that’s just blue. Blue’s not a flavor. Traditional marshmallows made from the hooves of horses and cows. Horses and cows all over the world. You can grind down a hoof in any country, really. There is no country where you can’t grind a hoof. So, what did we learn today, class? There’s no country where you can’t grind a hoof. That’s right, Chase. Would you like some coffee with that? Would you like some coffee with, sorry, I forgot to Oh. – [Link] What are you going for? Well, I was not trying to go that far east. I was trying to go between the countries of Europe and the countries of Asia. If this is South American, then I could win. I think if it’s very East Africa. No, West African. Then I could win. I was gonna guess Japan, but that’s not on the right side of the map for me. I haven’t seen this in America. The chocolate on the inside was very marshmallowy in its own right. But again, you can grind hooves anywhere, I’ve been told. Yep. I’ve heard that. Falkland Islands. – [Rhett] See if you can hit it. I just wanted to say it once in this episode. If you can. I’m going for South America. If you can get Falkland Islands and you can bullseye it, you win the whole thing. I’m not doing that. Okay. I’m going for South America. I think I have a chance. There we go. A little high, that’ll work. – [Rhett] Well, if it’s America, you probably win as well. Can I do it? – [Stevie] You just had a Cloudy Ring donut. This donut is filled with nougat. Topped with blue sugar, icing, and mini marshmallows. It’s fun, fluffy, and can be found on current menus in the cloudy country of Austria. My, Austria? Or Australia? Austria. Cloudy, it’s so cloudy there. Oh my gosh. Nougat, I should’ve known it was nougat. A marshmallowy chocolate. But that wouldn’t have helped me. Yeah. Rhett, 22. Link, 26. Well, that means I could use a Veto Cheeto next time. – [Stevie] And you’re doing a lot of running in Good Mythical More. That’s right. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
