What happens when you leave things in Mountain Dew for a month? Let’s talk about that Good Mythical Morning. We’ve always been told soda rots your insides, but have we ever considered what it does to outsides? Being the curious Tom fools that we are, we needed to find out. That’s why the Mythical crew has grabbed every last drop of Mountain Dew they could find and put it to good use by leaving things in it for a month. A whole month? A whole month. What? We’ve done Coke, bleach, air, Guinness, salt, pool water, nail polish remover, mouthwash, champagne, Shamrock Shakes, an Irish whiskey, a ninety-three Infiniti G twenty, margaritas, dirt, wine, glow sticks, citric acid, Red Bull, eggs, Febreze, coffee, pumpkin beer, hot sauce, eggnog, a volcano and a fish tank. And today, we’re doing the Dew. It’s time for Left On a Shelf Mountain Dew Edition. Okay, soda papis. If y’all can correctly guess what happened to the items left in Mountain Dew, for at least three rounds, you win a Mountain Clue to a prize. If not, you’ll be Baja Blasted. Oh, Stevie. Okay. First up, we’ve got a raw sausage versus a raw Beyond sausage. So, kind of a non-meat sausage soaking in regular Mountain Dew for a month. Okay, which Mountain Dew completely changed color? Like my copy of respectable missionary magazine under a blacklight. You talk. When you say missionary, what are you? What are you referring to, Trevor? So, the Beyond sausage is made of pea protein. We know this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I’ve actually had both of these in my fridge. Highly recommend both. And in my stomach. And the thing I’ve noticed about this is, you know, we’ve been to the Beyond factory. We have. We respect what they’re doing. I enjoy it. It’s not as good as the real thing. I’ll just be honest with you. It’s not as good as the real thing. It’s surprisingly acceptable, though. But if you don’t think about the real thing and you kind of haven’t eaten it in a while, it’s really good. Yeah. And. But it’s gonna completely change color. So, you have to think about what might cause Mountain Dew, which is kind of greenish, yellowish, to change color. Is it real animal fat, or is it something that they’ve put? That would be my guess. Yeah. Doesn’t it feel like there’s more like. Because it’s just pea protein, I think it’s the meat. Yes. It’s the fats. It’s that flesh. Hold on, hold on, hold on. They’ve got things in the Beyond to change color, though. So, when it cooks, it actually seems like a real sausage. Pomegranate concentrate. I think it might be the Beyond because there’s like. They want to make it, like, the pea protein didn’t look this color. This has got reddish stuff in there. I don’t know how they get to it. I think it might be the pomegranate. Yeah, you’re right. You’re right. They make it different color. And once it breaks through the membrane, it’s gonna make the Mountain Dew a different color. Yes. We’re the best. We haven’t done this in a long time, but we’re gonna get four out of four. Just watch. Beyond sausage. And, can we? Shall we? Yeah. We were right. We were right. We were right. Raw sausage labeled on top. Do we wanna open this? Yeah. Probably not. Ooh, it’s got a little fizz to it. It’s a month old raw sausage. Take it out. Oh, put it back. Put it back. It stinks. Oh, it’s stinky. Oh, real bad. Oh, it’s real bad. Oh, close it up. Close it up. Close it up. Close it up. Bad idea. I don’t know why we thought we would do that. But I bet you this one doesn’t stink. Yeah, it’s just pea protein. Let’s see. But that stuffed. It turned it orange. It made it sun-kissed. It took the red out of the sausage, which became a white sausage, which was my nickname in high school. Oh, no. No, you didn’t. No, you didn’t. Sorry. Sorry. Did that happen to you in high school? Oh, my gosh, Rhett. No. Unfortunately, I was planning on being a missionary, so that did not happen to me in high school. I just. I just don’t want to process what happened. I want to. It’s already very processed. I want to forget what happened, but I feel like if I could remove this tube in one piece. Never mind. Yeah, yeah. Let’s just move on. Could have reused it. Now we’ve got a white T-shirt that’s been soaking in Mountain Dew Pitch Black. Pitch black, huh? So, is it like an oil slick in a can? Is that what’s happening to this thing? I don’t know. Can we investigate? Can we open it up? Open that up and look at it. Maybe give it a little swig. Is that cheating? No, not necessarily. I mean, how black is it? I got to drink some of it and let you look in my mouth. Yeah, yeah. Science. Well, tilt down a little bit. Oh, yeah, it’s pitch black down there. It’s a black beverage. I would say it’s purple. Oh, it’s purple in there? It’s a little bit of purple. But it’a black in the mouth? Okay. What? Put it in your mouth. Let me see what it does. What? Yeah. Okay. Well, it’s purple, but you said it was black in my mouth. Let me see. It’s black in the mouth. Pitch black in the mouth, purple in the can. Our options are, did it turn black and blue like my balls on prom night? Black and blue? I don’t. Listen, man. You got further than I did that prom night. They definitely turned blue, but. You got further than I did. They didn’t get bruised. Or did they turn brown and green like Rhett’s balls on prom night? Yeah. Yeah. What happened, son? I found a great buffet. Yeah. Yeah. Found a great buffet? What? I didn’t have any luck at prom, man. I took a friend. No. I went with a bunch of dudes one year, and then I took a girl that I liked that didn’t like me the next year, which is the worst. Just go with a friend. Don’t take somebody that you know doesn’t like you and think that suddenly the mystique of prom is gonna make them fall in love with you. It doesn’t work. It doesn’t for you. At the end of the night, your balls are brown and green, and you just go home to your missionary monthly magazine and open to a fresh page. I’m sorry I brought you on this journey. Yeah. But sometimes white sausage just has to say what’s on his mind. You know what? I can help you recover from this with a joke. What do they call it when you do your prom over again? Prom again. Morp. Because it’s backwards? All right. I’m so glad you said that joke. Why would it turn? Yes, backwards. You gotta go back through it. You’ve been through it, and you go back through it. Morp. Why would it turn brown and green? And what is it that’s under there? A T-shirt? Yes. Well, it’s not under anything. It’s under my hand. We know it’s purple, which is between black and blue. I don’t think you can get brown and green tones from a purple and black drink. Yep. And I don’t think they knew that we would open it and see that it was purple. So we are gonna go with black and blue balls. Yep. Reveal. Yes. Oh, yeah. Look at those. Look at the coloration in that. Can you bring it out? This might be an Etsy business waiting to happen. Yeah. All we need is an endless supply of. Oh, no, I’m just used to doing that. I was about to say, what could make it stink? It’s just a little fruity Mountain Dew-y. Oh, look. Oh, it’s not as pretty. Leave it in. It’s not pretty. Look at that. We’ll never sell it. We have to sell it in the jar, but, oh, that’s ugly. What happened? What happened? Well, it’s interesting because it took the purple, and made it blue. There’s a little bit of blue. Because if I just pour it right here on this shirt just to show you what it looks like. It’s black and blue. Look at that. It’s so purple at the beginning. Oh, I’m sorry. It’s almost brown and blue. Is it brown and blue, or is it brown and green? I mean. It’s definitely brown. Okay. Yeah, that looks just like my balls did now that I see them out in the air. Well, I would say it’s brown and blue. That nineteen ninety-six. Can I say that? Can I be honest here and say that this is brown and blue? That’s pretty green, bro. It’s pretty green. Am I crazy? Well. It’s not black. I’ll tell you that much. Well, look at it. Look at the blue in the jar and then the color on the shirt. I think that’s, you know. Yeah, it’s pretty green, man. Well, there’s some green up here. All right, I’ll let you let us lose this round. Okay. It looks like. Yeah, my balls, not your balls. What’s the best Mountain Dew flavor? Well, the Sporked team has tasted and ranked all of the Mountain Dew flavors from worst to best. To find out where your favorite ranks, go over to sporked. com. Do it. Okay, next up, we have an ultra sized “tampen”, they call this. A “tampen”. “Tampen”? A “tampen”. Tampon. Tampon. Left in Code Red. You guys trying to make it? What kind of joke are you trying to make here, huh? What kind of joke? Is it? Like, Link’s Morp joke? Yeah, it’s pretty much the same as that. What happened to the tampon? Did it, A, grow to nearly twice its size, like our fan base when we both just accept that we’re in love with each other? Or B, completely dissolve, like Inside Eats with Rhett and Link. Oh, I remember that show. Almost. That’s where we visited the Beyond factory. Wow, and Code Red is red. Do you know how these tampons work. Show me. Well, there’s a string. I think there’s a, can you push? Can you make a? I am not. I’m not falling for it again. No. Can you just? Could you just hold your hand like this? I’m not. People need to know. I can’t do it all myself. I’m not falling for it. I’ll try to do it myself. Just make a hand puppet. Just make a hand puppet and say, hi. Hi. My name. My name’s Tammy, and I’m hungry for some pon. Yeah, that’s right, Tammy. There’s only. Tammy’s got a hunger for pon, and there’s only one thing that can satisfy it. I see a pon right there. Put it in Tammy. So, you just do that? You gotta put your hand on the back. And just do that. And then you just. Okay, now we got a problem. And then you just pull it and it pops. What? I don’t think you’re pulling the right. You’re not pulling the right thing. What do I do? Pull the blue thing. You push and it pops like a turkey. Pull the blue thing. Pull the blue thing. Yeah, yeah. Oh, there it is. There you go. There you go. So, you saw how easy that was. You saw how easy that was. And then you’ve got this little thing. You can put peanut butter in it. You can do all kinds of things. Yeah, yeah. You can put anything you want into it. Is it a peanut butter dispenser? It’s a peanut butter dispenser. Any kind of thing you want to dispense after that point, I suggest cleaning it first. Okay. Okay. Well, you know, they get big, right? They get big. They’re not gonna completely dissolve. Nearly twice the size. Code Red’s strong, though. How strong is it? You want to taste some? Yeah. Do you like Code Red? It tastes red. Not really. I didn’t like it. You think it has some kind of acid in it that maybe is not like, the kind of, the acid that would be inside of a body. How could it? How would a tampon completely dissolve? Well. I’m sorry. I mean, this is like cotton. Yeah. It’s got to get big. That’s what it does. It ain’t got. It don’t know what else to do. How could it completely dissolve? That would defeat the purpose of it. We’re going with A, it gets twice its size. Or do they just completely dissolve and you just keep putting more up in there? No, no, no. It’s gotta hold up. It gets big. It’s gotta expand. Oh, my gosh. It got so big. They put multiple ones in there. Look at that. That one’s big. It got so wide. But this one’s still in the packaging, and that one’s still in the blue thing. Wow. Let’s take it out and have some fun. Oh, dust came off of that. First, let’s get out the one that was just out here. Oh, it’s split. Oh, look at that. It’s. It’s unraveling. It became. Is that what happens? It became too. It butterflied. And then if you take this string, does it? And what? You hang this up? Thank you. It’s really absorbent. You don’t wash it with whites, though. In the commercials for these, they always pour. Well, actually, they really don’t do them for tampons, but for the other ones, they throw a little blue liquid on there. They need to start using Code Red in all those commercials. Okay. This one here. This one here. I wonder if it can still function. Well, see, I can’t keep. I keep forgetting how to. Oh, there it is. Oh. Oh, it is like a Push Pop. And then. Yeah, it pushes it right out. And see, look, it didn’t hold as much. It almost didn’t get. Cause it was bound. It was bound. That’s why you wanna pull this part back out. Yeah. Because if you don’t. If you don’t, you get this. And if you do, you get this. And you want this for other purposes. So anyway, we were right. And now we have a raw chicken breast and anchovies in Mountain Dew for a month. The work we’re doing here is unparalleled. Important. All right, which Mountain Dew now smells completely putrid, like, of course, one of them does. The Mythical tour bus when Chase eats his famous tuna and cat piss sandwich. Chase. is it the tuna? I mean, is it the anchovies or the chicken? Oh, so you’re telling me one of these doesn’t stink at all? Well, one of them smells like tuna and cat piss. I mean, what, here’s the thing. Raw meat is a problem. Like, you leave this, like, if you take this and you forget about it in the fridge or you put it in the trash can, and you’re not, like, taking the trash out, like, the next day. Raw flesh, real, real bad. Sardines. They’re a smoked fish that’s been preserved. And, yeah, they have a stink to them, but I just don’t think that they. I think the Mountain Dew is only gonna help them, you know, what I’m saying? They stink as bad as they’re gonna stink, now. I’ve been told that they both smell. It’s just one really. Yeah. One you can’t even deal with. Yeah. It’s gotta be the raw chicken, man. It’s gotta be the raw chicken. It has to be the raw chicken. This is a going on experience here. It has to be. All right, we are saying the raw chicken. Okay. I’m scared. Oh, gosh. Look. I mean, look at what. The chicken, it just has bubbles all over it. Like, what is that? It’s waiting to stink. Look at that. I will say that the anchovies. Where did the Mountain Dew go? Did it drink it? It drank it. The fish. They came alive drinking like a fish. Which one are you? Why don’t you go ahead and start with the chicken. Does that mean we got it wrong? Does that mean we got it wrong? Does that mean we got it wrong? I think we got it wrong. Maybe. How could we have gotten it wrong? You want to do the honors? Nothing. You know, this is how they teach you to. Don’t knock the thing. Don’t hit it, though. This is how you knock it into your lap. Pour it all over myself. That would be horrible. I’m gonna hold it in place, and I’m gonna waft it. You waft it. Anything? It actually just smells like raw chicken and Mountain Dew, like. it’s bad, but it’s not. It’s not like Chase’s cat piss. Get closer, though. It’s bad once you get close. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s not like. It’s not overwhelming. All right, we’re taking an L on this one, apparently. No, really? What happened? What happened to the Mountain Dew is what I want to know. I refuse to believe that this is the case. He’s scared. I can’t interpret it. What are you doing? I can’t interpret it. Smell it. You’re like. Chase. It is. It is. It’s like cat pee. It’s got a cat pee urea thing. It’s not necessarily the strength of it. It’s the specificity of it. It’s not like. Tuna. It’s not exploding out of there, but once you get it, I feel like I can’t open my eyes anymore. Well, you know what’s gonna be exploding out is Baja Blast in Good Mythical More, because you guys lost. Why did we bring this back just to lose? Just to lose. Oh, and of course, we also left Link’s glasses in Mountain Dew for a month. So, that’s where those have been. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. You know what time it is.
