GMM 2551: Are These New Food Products Better?

Are these wild new products really better than doing things the old fashioned way? Let’s talk about that. ((Intro Music)) Good Mythical Morning! We as humans are always looking for ways to make our lives easier, and there are new products constantly popping up trying to suit those human needs. From as far back as the invention of the wheel. All the way to that tennis racket that electrocutes insects. You know what I’m talking about. It’s one of my favorite inventions. But just because something says it’ll make your life easier, doesn’t mean it always will. So, we’re putting some newfangled products to the test and seeing if they supersede techniques of the past. It’s time for New Tool or Old School. ((Music)) Now, you would think that making a hot dog is pretty straightforward. You open up a bun, you put the dog in, you add condiments, you know the drill. But, a new invention. Called the Hotdogger. There it is. Was created to drill holes. So you don’t have to. I don’t understand. Well, this thing costs $10. So at least it’s not expensive. Does it, does anything move independently? Or is it just a? No, you could print this at home if you had a 3D printer. Okay. Well, you know. You wanna touch my? Forgive me for saying so, but the Hotdogger looks like, I don’t know, like a, like a miniature tower. ((Laughing)) On top of some tires. Oh, I forgive you for saying that. And, I mean, if we try to figure out how to use this thing based on the Amazon.com pictures, first of all, I can see that – [Rhett] Oh, it’s very fun. – You know. – Two friends. We need two of them! That’s what we need! So, we could ream out buns together and just kind of laugh, look at each other and laugh while reaming buns. Hey, that’s us in another, another life, Link. – [Link] Yep. – [Rhett] Glasses and beard, sitting there with, just drilling in buns together. You can’t look away and laugh. I should have said something. While you’re reaming buns. First of all, I typically just get what is called a hot dog bun. Yeah. Yeah. What? And, that like comes precut. That’s just like a roll of bread. Some people, apparently this is what they do. They don’t get the hot dog bun. It’s a horrendously large hoagie. Yeah, yeah. So, Link, the reason I’m holding The Hotdogger is because we wanted to give you the opportunity to knife your bread. Because, I, now, I negotiated this with the crew. Yes, he can still cut himself, but he can’t stab himself. Not on that side. Because this part. Oh, yeah, look. Hey, hey, hey, if you slip, if you slip, you might cut me! Okay, okay. Don’t push your luck, man. I’ll take that knife right back from you. Well. Here, cut your bun. You slid a bun, and I’ll drill a bun. Okay, this is, this is the race, huh? Oh, hold on. And then, I mean, which side? I feel like I don’t want you to watch me when I do this. I’ll look away. ((Laughing)) You look away? Are you, twist it. I want to see you do one. But it’s not a drill, it’s just like. Oh, it is a drill. Oh my gosh, look at that. Let me see. What? Oh, okay. Hand me a wiener. Hold on, what do I do with the toppings? I guess you just. Hold on, I think I top first. Maybe you, oh. ((Laughing)) Just rip, put it, put it on the, don’t put it all the way down. Put it at the top. So it carries it down with it? Top, top. Yeah, and then you just kinda. – Hold on. – There you go. I mean, you can fit three wieners in there. Let me see. It’s so much hoagie. Let me see. – [Link] Double barrel. Okay. Oh, I like that. ((Laughing)) Hold on, hold on. It’s not, it’s not working. There you go. Put one in, and you. Those guys on Amazon didn’t do this. ((Laughing)) Okay. Double barrel. One’s a little bit longer than the other. Double your fun. There we go. I’m ready to eat! So I’m gonna take this and I mean, don’t go all the way! And then. See if you can get two wieners in there. I mean, give me some. You want some mustards? I just want, I just wanted just mustard. Well, I’ll just do mustard, so you know. You go mustard first, huh? You just. You don’t have to do that with that technique. You can go, you could go mustard. Split it, split it and. – [Rhett] Good God, son. Split it in. ((Laughing)) And then look at that, one. You might go get four in there. Three. I think you could get four. Four. Look at that. Oh, you got just a straight wiener on the outside. I mean, I got a triple barrel. I could probably do that. I could probably. No. Listen, you don’t have anything to prove. I don’t want triple. Have we already done the contest? No, I will eat. No, I will eat. ((Laughing)) You shouldn’t cut your own buns. I really want to know what it feels like to ream it. It feels good. Hey, Link, what are you doing in the other room? Making room! Ooh. So. Please don’t do that. I’m just trying to see, I’m just trying to see what it would feel like if I were the bun. ((Laughing)) This is dumb. This is the dumb part. It’s solving a problem that didn’t exist. No, but look, I can do anything. That’s so stupid. Look. There’s nothing that can go wrong while eating this. I can gesture, I can tell a big story. It’s not going anywhere because my wieners are stuck in my bun. You know what I’m saying? I can, you can’t do that. You try that. You tell a big story. Hey! See look, it’s in there. I’m gripping it and I got one more than you. I don’t know. Hey! Oh, man! You got mustard right on my crotch. Well, you know, that’s comedy 101 right there. You know? A little slapstick. You know, I slap. ((Laughing)) They’ve created, they’ve turned plastic into something that didn’t need to exist. That’s not a good look. I hate it. I think the thing is, is you got three wieners in your bun. I only got two. Okay. So we’re saying, the Hotdogger, old school. Yeah, old school. “Nold” School. So, what are we gonna do with this? I don’t know. We’ll probably find another use for it. You can take it home. ((Music)) One of the main keys to hosting a successful party is making sure that your guests are never far from refreshment. Cue the. Tray. Party tray here. You’re always bringing your drinks to the people so they don’t have to come to the drinks. That’s what I do every time I have a party at my house. But you’re kinda, you know, you’re, you’re subject to your abilities of balancing and speed. Enter the topple tray. We paid $60 for this. – [Rhett] Whoa! It’s got this handle that pops up. And by using. Gravity. Physics and stuff, it allows, drinks to be virtually untoppable. I don’t know, let’s see what the, what the Amazon video claims. – [Man] But, of course, the clue is in the name. It is single handed serving tray. Which means I can carry drinks with a single hand. Oh! – [Man] If I keep my hand free and swinging these, I’ll never spill a drink again. Which means I can carry drinks up the stairs easily, whilst keeping at least one hand on the banister. And with my free hand. Stairs are not finished. – [Man] I can open doors. All while carrying drinks in a single hand. I can go single hand with a regular tray. I can go more single hand with this. Let’s try. We’re going to do a little race. Alright, so we’ve got drinks over here, and we’ve got thirsty crew members over here. Stevie, you’re going to call out. – [Stevie] Yes, and we’ve asked the crew members not to drink for the past 12 hours. – [Link] Oh, good. – [Stevie] So, they are so thirsty. I’m going to call out orders. I mean, look at. – [Stevie] And you’re gonna have to deliver them. Look at that. Look at that. – [Stevie] You ready? Look at that. Yes. – [Stevie] Rhett, KG wants a Sprite. Mikayla wants a Coke. Link, Lucas wants a water. KG also wants a LaCroix. Oh, KG wants a LaCroix? Whoa, look at me. Thank you. Take it, take it, take it. Here you go. That’s not it. That’s not it. And take that. I didn’t want this. I don’t want this. That’s my drink. And what? – [Stevie] That’s all. Link. Apple juice to Mikayla, Sprite to Lucas. – [Link] Sprite to Lucas. I mean, I am still a little bit, but that’s just because I’m pushing the limits, but that’s right. – [Stevie] Rhett, water to Mikayla, apple juice to Lucas. Thank you so much. Thank you. Water to Lucas. I missed my calling. – [Stevie] Link, Coke to KG, Dr. Pepper to Mikayla. – [Mikayla] Oh, thank so much. Thank you. Look at that. I’m giving actual Sprite to somebody. – [Mikayla] Overwhelming. I’m having no problems at all. It was because of the Sprite. That was my drink. Alright, sorry. You know what? – [Rhett] Link’s having a lot of problems. – [Stevie] Yeah, I don’t know if it’s user error. Look what I found. – [Rhett] How did you spill it? I thought it was unspillable. I’m pushing the limits! Okay, what am I doing now? Watch me push the limits. – [Stevie] Sprite to KG, a, LaCroix to Mikayla. – [Rhett] This is all I got. Hey, would you guys like another beverage? No, I think we’re good. Not from that thing. – [Link] There’s something on your shoe there. Oh! It’s harder. It is harder with this. I do admit that it is harder with this. You don’t want your drinks to be top heavy. – [Mikayla] Oh, wow. Oh, whoa. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Okay. I should’ve been a waiter. What am I supposed to drink? I don’t know what I’m drinking. What am I drinking? Whatever, I don’t care. I don’t care. Okay. Alright, I mean, dang. Oh my goodness. So, you had more trouble. Well, you know what? I think it was more on me than the thing. I’m a fan of this. I got real cocky. – [Stevie] How many times did you spill? I mean, you don’t have to count the fact that you didn’t remember anyone’s order the entire time, but like in terms of spillage. Two? Three? At first I was just spilling stuff on this. Then I was like, can I spill stuff beyond this? And the answer was still yes. So it didn’t keep me from spilling. Yeah. It wasn’t that scientific of a test though. Because, it wasn’t apples to apples. It wasn’t, you know. It was Rhett to Link. So, it was, you know what I mean? It feels great. And it gave me a lot of confidence. It looks great. It gave me more confidence than I deserved. Yep. So, even though I got more spillage, I’m actually thinking, it’s worth the $60. I mean. You know what? If you’re moving and shaking. Hey listen, if he’s anything, he’s logical. ((Laughing)) I’m not gonna disagree with you. I didn’t even get to play with it. New tool. New tool! There you have it right there. Just feel it, see? I mean, it is kind of remarkable how you can just literally swing it around. Look at that. See? See? – Go, Rhett! – Yeah! I mean, you ain’t seen a waiter do that. Oh, I’m getting dizzy. ((Laughing)) – [Link] He’s with me now, see? I am. New tool. ((Music)) Hey, there’s a few days left to celebrate the Mythical Society 5th anniversary, and we’re doing some things with any new purchase or upgrade or renewal or gift of a 3rd Degree Annual Plan through February 29th. You will have your choice of any of the past quarterly items that we’ve ever made over the past five years. While supplies last. First come, first serve. Go over there to MythicalSociety.com and check it out. Nice. All right. You got yourself a Krak’in, dude. Okay. Do I see a Krak’in? We, you might already know this about us, but we weren’t party boys. We were, we were good boys in college. So, we didn’t have a lot of experience with this. So we’re gonna be experiencing, shotgunning. For the first time. Oh. Yeah, I can’t say. You’ve experienced so many things with us for the first time. So, I mean, the way that you’re supposed to shotgun is like, you’d like take out keys and like hit the bottom of a can. Or a pocket knife or something. Hit the bottom of a can. Make a hole and then you, okay. I’ve never, I’m gonna try that, but you’re gonna try the new tool. – The Krak’in. – The Krak’in 2.0 – [Link] $20. What I’ve learned, I don’t know if this is true or not with the Krak’in, but a lot of new products, they come out as the 2.0 to make you think that there was a 1.0 Oh, you dialing his number? I don’t know if that’s happening with this, but I do know that that’s a technique that people use. That thing is sharp, dude. So, it’s like, it’s made out of an eagle claw. No, it’s made out of plastic. We paid $20 for this thing. So, it’s supposedly effortless to use, Link. Do you want to try doing the old fashioned way first? Well, okay, let’s stand back here. Stevie, we’re drinking this, something that you suggested. Hop Splash? What’s up with this? – [Stevie] It’s just water, but it kind of tastes like beer. And it, and it’s just sparkling water with some, with a little bit of hops in it, I think. Okay, zero alcohol, zero calories. Not a sponsor. Okay. Never done this. Let’s see the old school way. So, I take this, and I like, I’m making an air pocket. Yeah, and you just kind of press on it. Oh, yeah! – [Rhett] Yeah, you did it, man. Look at this. This is like the college that could have been. Then I made a hole, and then I’m, I don’t want to lose my keys. This is my friend, Link. My keys are going back in the pocket.. He’s from Buies Creek. – [Stevie] It’s usually done at this speed as well, so. ((Laughing)) This is my friend, Link, from Buies Creek. That’s where I’m from. He’s shotgunning! Ah, it’s too much. ((Laughing)) How much did you get? ((Laughing)) Half of it, just, it’s like it, it’s like it just, it was like a stomach seeking missile. He does half. ((Laughing)) My boy does half. What? ((Laughing)) What happened? That was, that was so much faster than a typical swig. I don’t know if I’m gonna do any better than that. Okay, so I gotta do it up here, and then I’m gonna pop it in. And you literally do that. – [Link] So, now you have like a smokestack. That thing, you could put a finger in there. Yeah. – [Link] What are you doing? Hold on. You’re gonna drink out of that. No, you drink out of this. No, don’t drink out of that. No, you drink out of this. – That’s how it works. – You drink out of this? Yeah, yeah. – [Crew] Yes! Oh. Well, how am I supposed to know? I’ve never done this. ((Crew Cheering)) Whoa. I do a whole. ((Laughing)) Is it gone? Seriously? Look at that. And then, whoop, nope, there’s a little bit. ((Belch)) ((Laughing)) We’re from Buies Creek! ((Crew Cheering)) You gotta remember, you gotta keep that now. Yeah, cause it’s my first one. Oh, no, I’m talking about the claw. No, I’m keeping the can. ((Laughing)) I will say, I’ve never popped a can with keys before, and I did that on the first try, too. You look cool doing it, too. I’ll only get faster when I keep shotgunning my waters, but But I mean, look at that. Look at the hole that that made. And it was just like a little water fountain. – [Link] But this thing is supposed to go on your keychain? I mean, this is as sharp as an eagle’s talon. Oh, and look, it’s really, it’s really on there. Oh, you know what I could have done? What I should have done, is just held it like that. Like, done it like that. And then come in here, like that. I don’t know, 20, it’s $20 though. Is it worth it? Because listen, you gotta think about this. We’re in college, $20. That’s, we sit there and get our plasma taken for an hour for $20. Exactly. ((Laughing)) Is this worth an hour of us sitting there getting our plasma taken? I think you can drink your can in like, you can probably drink it 10 percent faster. – I think this. – With a bigger hole. The thing about this is that the spirit of shot, and I only shotgunned one beer just a second ago. It’s not even a beer. But I’m going to pontificate about this because I think the spirit of shotgunning a beer is not bringing out some little, eagle talon tool. – [Stevie] I was going to suggest like, I mean I know that it’s, you’ve ingested so much water. But I personally don’t feel like you can make a call on this unless you try it again. But, from a reenactment type of place, now that you both have the hang of shotgunning, I do feel like you need to put yourself in the mindset of, being at a college party, you show up at the party, you know, someone’s offered you beers, then what happens? How’s this for the look on my face? – [Stevie] Yeah, that’s a good start. There’s chicks at this party! What? Hop Splash. Here you go. Hey man, look. Let’s hurry up and get in before they realize we’re not invited. Hey, hey, hey, hey. For this second beer, last weekend was so cool. ((Laughing)) When we shotgunned our first beers, and you did a half, I did a whole. Yeah. This time, let’s both use our claws. You use your claw too. I was gonna, I was gonna race you. Okay. You make a bird noise, so people will look over here and then I’ll, and then we do it. – Ready? – Yeah. Woo! ((Imitating Bird Noise)) ((Laughing)) – [Crew] Woo! ((Crew Cheering)) ((Laughing)) Hey! Look, we just did shotguns! Nor, my friend, is putting the rest of his beer into the can! ((Laughing)) In the giant can. ((Laughing)) I always do half. ((Laughing)) It burns, man. You gotta, you gotta get through the burn, man. You gotta get through the burn. I see Rhett, Link and Stevie go to a frat party in our future. Yeah, yeah. We’re so, we would be so cool in that environment. I’ve got a lot of gas. Too, too sharp. It makes. Too sharp? This is too sharp. ((Laughing)) It encourages drinking things too fast. I’m against it. I mean, I think it went pretty well for me. I mean, I took those down so fast. Did you see that? If that was beer, I’d be having a blast right now. So, we’re having a split. Between new tool and old school? We can say that. It’s just, it’s not needed, dude. You’re probably right. Alright, good. He’s with me. Old school! So we are in an old school, two out of three scenario. Man, I can imagine. Because we’re old farts anyway. So the idea, now I get it, the idea is that you get really drunk. ((Laughing)) Right? Like, that’s the point. Right. Because it happens so fast. Right. ((Laughing)) Stay hydrated, drink responsibly, thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. You know what time it is. Hi, I’m Seth.
