Today we’re tasting every Cheetos flavor. Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Did you know that we have done thirty-eight Gut Checks? We have not done Cheetos yet. Well, there’s no time like now to do it because it’s the season twenty-five finale. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Now, don’t fret, because next week we got a little something special to hold you over.

That’s right. And then the week after that starts Good Mythical Summer, which is a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule. But also Saturday because we’re gonna be doing Good Mythical Weekend every Saturday. But we’ve got more. Yes, there’s more. We wanted to give you a little something extra. Okay? You know that show that we’ve been talking about that we’ve been working on all year for the original Rhett and Link channel? Well, we haven’t told them what it’s called. We’re gonna tell you what it’s called it’s called. We’re gonna tell them the name. Rhett and Link’s Wonderhole. Rhett and Link’s Wonderhole. Not a joke. That’s the name of it. It’s a wonderful hole. Now, hold on. Don’t start coming up with taglines. That’s not a tagline. That’s not a tagline. Forget I even said it. Rhett and Link’s Wonderhole is on the original Rhett and Link channel. Comes out this August. It’s a show. It’s a series. It’s a show. It has multiple episodes, and it’s quite an experience. I can’t wait for you to experience it. And we’re gonna show you a trailer soon. But for now, we’re gonna show you just a sneak peek. You ready? I might need to change my pants. We are about to reach longevity, escape velocity. This is our purpose. All right. Wherever you go, I go. Timber! We’re flying, Link. We’re flying. All right. Wonderhole debuts on the Rhett and Link channel in August. So go over there and subscribe so you don’t miss it. Go over there and subscribe so you don’t miss it. Rhett and Link channel. Go over there and subscribe. It’s a different channel. Please. That’s why we’re asking like this. If you’ve already subscribed, go over there and make sure you’re subscribed. Please. Please. Pretty please. You can pause it. Go over there. You have tabs. All right, here we go. You can do that. New tab. We’re so excited about it, so we don’t want you to miss it. All right, how about we end this season with an episode that will make Chester proud? Yes. Let’s do it. This one’s for you. Chester A. Arthur, twenty-first president of these United States. It’s time for Gut Check Cheetos edition. Okay, “Cheet-hos”. We’ve got twenty-six Cheetos varieties for you to taste and figure out which is the top Cheetos product. And in case you need a palate cleanser to wash away the cheese dust, we have some bubbly water for you. Bubbly water. Spicy water, my kids have called it. You should correct them. They don’t listen anymore. You also have some cheat sheets. I also have a. Thanks, Stevie. Amazing scoring chart here. It’s super radical. I can Tony Hawk it up to ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty. I think that’s trademarked. I don’t think you can Tony Hawk anything. Ninety. Look at that. Hey. It’s pretty cool that they made that very special thing for you in the art department. But I gotta say, they bought this roulette wheel off of Amazon and put a cheese ball in it for me. So when I get confused about my score, I can choose between one and thirty-five. Three. Three. Okay. Our first category is crunchy. This includes all the Cheetos varieties that pack a little extra crunch, starting with Cheetos Crunchy. Cheetos Crunchy. So, it’s just crunchy. So, this is just a Cheeto? I don’t think it’s just a. Is it just a Cheeto? No, I think it’s just a Cheeto. It’s just a Cheeto. It’s so good. Eighty-seven. It’s a great snack. It is a great snack. Not pretty to look at, but. Eighty-five. Good to eat. Yeah. Crunchy Buffalo. I haven’t had this. That’s a really good buffalo taste with a nice spice. Yeah. I’m surprised by the kick. I’m actually surprised at how great they got that flavor. Eighty-three. Wow. I didn’t think I was gonna like that as much. Yeah. And I don’t even like buffalo stuff. Seventy-four. Mexican Street Corn. Elote. I haven’t been following Cheetos. Wow. Limey. Oh, that’s good, too. Is that an exclamation, or are you saying something is limey? It’s got a lime taste. It’s limey. Because isn’t limey like something? It’s bloody limey. I think blimey, perhaps. Blimey bloke. Blimey, I don’t like this. I love elote. I do not like this interpretation of it. Thirty-five. I’m sorry. Sixty-three. Cheddar Jalapeño Crunchy. Okay. Oh, I love that jalapeño flavor. It’s really, really strong on the jalapeño. I like that. If you’re gonna do it, do it. I know. I kinda want the cheddar to be up there a little bit more. This is a nice change up, though. Seventy-eight. Fifty-nine. Simply Crunchy White Cheddar. White Cheddar. Simply. Look how big mine is. Look at that. Impressive. So it’s just a non-orange version of the original? But it’s white cheddar. Does it taste different than normal cheddar? I’m want to say, aren’t the Simplys also baked? No, they’re not baked. They’re healthier. There’s something about the Simplys. It’s good. It’s not as good as the original. I don’t know why. Forty-three. It’s not. Is that not as good? It wasn’t as orange, and it wasn’t as good. Okay, I’m gonna give it a sixty-nine. Okay. So the Simply stuff isn’t baked, but it doesn’t have anything artificial. It’s healthier for you. Oh, that’s why it’s. But you know what’s baked? Cheetos Baked. Yeah, it is. And is that the next one? Yes. Yeah. Put it in my mouth. Would I have known that was baked? Yes. Because. I would think something was wrong with it. I would think that maybe it was a little stale. It was a good one that was stale. It’s got half as much flavor. Forty-nine. Twenty-eight. Bolitas. Bolitas? What’s a? Oh, it’s a ball. What kind of ball is this? What kind of ball is this, is what my brain is also asking. That’s a weird flavor. Bolitas. Is it emulating something? It says a mild chili heat is what it’s supposed to have. I like it. Forty-one. Fort-one for me. Sixty-four. Flamin’ Hot Crunchy. This is just Flamin’ Hot. Okay. I mean, there’s a reason why it’s everywhere. Flamin’ Hot completely changed the Cheeto game, and the only reason we’ve even talking about this. The moral landscape, I think, has been altered because of it. People are doing things they never dreamed they would do before. Yeah. You know what I’m saying? Yeah. People are killing for these. I’m gonna give it an eighty-one. I don’t think it’s as good as the original. I’m torn. But it is good. I think I like it equally. Eighty-five. I think I like it just as much as the original. I didn’t know you were gonna say that. It’s different. Flamin’ Hot Tangy Chili Fusion. Tastes like a Chinese dish. I know what you’re saying. There’s a little sweet and sour almost to it. Yeah. I like it. Seventy-five. I just don’t know. You want to use this? Thirty-five. No, no, no, no. I don’t need your help. Flamin’ Hot Limón Crunchy. Limón. Is limón lime? This is not as good as normal Flamin’ Hot. It isn’t. I guess it’s the limón. It’s still good, though. Sixty-five. Seventy-seven. Baked Flamin’ Hot. Well, what are you gonna do? Are they altering the Flamin’ Hot flavor as well as baking it? Is it a big oven? It’s just so wild that the. How big is the oven? Part tastes so different, you know? But if it’s the same Flamin’ Hot, it’s just completely compromised. But how big is this oven? Why are you asking? I don’t know. Just think about it. If you gotta bake something, if you want to fry something. Oh, yeah. You can throw it into a big vat. You want to bake something? It’s a whole room. The physics of making a giant oven is so different. I think this is a bunch of little ovens. I think it’s little ovens. It’s a bunch of little ovens. Is it a bunch of little ovens? Look that up. Yeah. Twenty-nine. Forty-five. Fantastix Chili Cheese. Oh, it’s like a hot fry. So it’s, not bumpy and irregular. It’s got that chili cheese, almost a Frito. Chili Cheese Frito. Yep. Sixty-two. Sixty. Fantastix Flamin’ Hot. Have you ever had a Fantastix? Is it for people who are afraid of knots and twists? I do get a little disturbed when I pull up a big old Cheeto, and it’s shaped like a drumstick. Like a chicken leg. Those are my favorites. I don’t like that. That one tasted bad. Something went wrong with that. Twenty-eight. Nineteen. Did I miss? Oh, okay. Sorry. There was a period of silence. No, no, I said it earlier. We just said it so close together. We’re just waiting for you to talk. But I’d figured that you didn’t hear me. Cheddar Pretzels. Oh, there’s pretzels. Oh, hard. Cheddary, but so much more pretzely than cheddary. I would eat another one. The more that I eat, the more I don’t like it. Fifty-seven. Ten. He’s spitting it out. Take that. Flamin’ Hot Pretzels. No, now this is gonna go. Better, but not great. Twenty-seven. Fifty-nine. Xxtra Flamin Hot Crunchy. Oh, extra Flamin’ Hot. Okay, ready. That’s more of a good thing. Is it too much? No. I mean, it’s even hotter. I like it. It’s even hotter. Oh, it hits the spot. I’m waiting for you to score, not to breathe in my face. Eighty-six. Seventy-nine. You have this, like, natural lip color boost, Rhett, from the Flamin’ Hot. That’s, like, very. It’s nicely paired to your. Don’t often see my lips. Yeah. Natural lip color boast. Okay. That wasn’t really your voice, Stevie. Okay. Yeah. It was kind of like. That was Stevie’s color boosted voice. Voice. It was like. I’m talking about your lips, boys. That concludes the crunchy category. The next category is puffs and popcorn. Puffs and popcorn? Starting with Cheetos Puffs. Okay, gotta go the whole thing. That’s a big one. I like what happens in your mouth when you put a Puff in it. It’s like eating a cheese finger. It’s almost cotton candy-ish, but more resistance. Like, cotton candy doesn’t resist you at all. It doesn’t pack the punch. It’s harder to fit the flavor for some reason. I don’t know what it is. I’m still gonna give it a seventy. I’m gonna give it a seventy-four. I like it. Simply Puffs White Cheddar. Smaller, smaller, simpler. Oh, the white cheddar really compliments it. It’s better. Yeah. How did it get better? Well, there’s. It’s more flavor to the, the corn. Seventy-five. Seventy-one. Cheddar Popcorn. Are we doing this? Yeah. Okay. I like cheddar popcorn when I also have other types of popcorn to eat with it In a triangular cylindrical. And I don’t think they sell that, so that’s gonna hurt them at the polls. I’m at the poll. Sixty-one Fifty-eight. Cheddar Jalapeño Popcorn. Oh, more. Well. Y’all got the jalapeño flavor figured out at wherever, who makes this. Yeah. Who makes it? Cheetos. Cheetos is just a company? I think Cheetos is Frito Lay. Is it? Cheeto Lay? PepsiCo. PepsiCo. PepsiCo coming in with the big ovens. Seventy-seven. So if you work at Cheetos? Lots of little ovens. Do you go on, like, a corporate retreat for Pepsi, or do you go on a corporate retreat for Cheetos, because I want to get Cheetos swag, not Pepsi swag. I think if you’re high enough up, you get double dip. Double dip. Yep, yep. That was pretty good for me. Sixty-four. What happened? When I said double dip, a few people went. At the same time. Double dip. We have a lot of double dippers in this room. That’s right. Really? Y’all getting paid by other people or us twice? That’s like people who have Mythical merch and Mythical Kitchen merch. There you go. Yeah. Did you give a score, Rhett? Yeah, but I forgot. Let’s say. Let’s say fifty. Fifty-nine. All right, that’s it. Did I give one? Because. Okay. Apparently I did. Did I? You said seventy-seven. Good. Well, you really loved it. Yeah. Flamin’ Hot Puffs. Oh, here we go. Look at that. Big and red. Look at how red it is. Give me a little bit of a delayed reaction. Big puff needs more flavor. I’m just out of fifty. It puts it into perspective when you eat it alongside the other things. If I brought a thing of Puffs to a party, you wouldn’t say it doesn’t have flavor. But when you eat them next to the things that have more flavor. You’re right. It has less flavor, but it’s about the texture for me. Well, we’re judging them relative to one another. But I love what happens in my mouth. Well, then give it. Seventy-three. Accordingly. Popcorn Flamin’ Hot. Okay. Why wouldn’t you just call it Flamin’ Hot popcorn? That’s a good question. Fifty for this, too. I like this because I can’t get it anywhere else. Seventy-six. Okay. That concludes the puffs and popcorn category. The final category is minis and flavor shots. Flavor shots? Starting with Cheddar Minis. So what? Oh, it’s just a little ball. Can you just say this is the balls? No. See, the flavor to surface area ratio is getting into a sweet spot. Sixty. Sixty-four. That was painful. Seventy-one. Cheddar Jalapeño Asteroids. Asteroids. Even smaller. So you can eat, like, five of them at once or a whole handful. Yeah, I feel like I need more. Can you throw two in? Me too. Maybe, maybe. Maybe three. It’s hard when you got a glove on. That’s how I would do it. This is like petting zoo scenario. Yeah, it builds. There it is. It builds. Get more in your mouth. Is that jalapeño? That’s a fun little experience. Seventy-seven. Seventy-seven. Double seventy-sevens. Flamin’ Hot Minis. Okay. Yes. Oh, yeah. Thank you so, like. Oh, I’ll take two of those. I got three. It’s not an Asteroid. Asteroid, I’d take three, Minis I’d take two. Too late. I got three. Well, you’re. So, I’m basing this on three, which is great. I love it. My stomach’s hurting. Wonder what’s up there. I really like this. Eighty-three. Oh, no, I did it. I’m Flamin’ Hot out. Sixty. Oh, come on. Don’t let that affect you. I like it, but it’s too much. Flamin’ Hot Asteroids. Oh, Asteroids. I’ll take three. I’ll take four. Yeah, well, it’s an Asteroid. Too many Asteroids. KG knew. What’s the difference? Size. Only size? Only size. I think they do. It’s a different oven. No, it’s not. Yeah, it’s a different oven. I don’t like it as much, but I like it. Seventy-eight. Sixty-two. And that concludes the minis and flavor shots category. You have tasted every Cheetos flavor, and your scores will now be tabulated. Yes! We couldn’t spend a whole episode eating Cheetos without talking about one of our favorite dishes from the Mythical Cookbook. The Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Chicken Sandwich. Right there on page hundred and ninety-eight, and right here in the flesh. Yes. We’re gonna eat it. You know what? If you want to eat it, you should get yourself a copy of the Mythical Cookbook. Flickerty bliggity Flamin’ Hot. mythicalcookbook.com, y’all. I’m gonna bite this thing. Yes. Look at those jalapeños. And that slaw. Gotta get some of that. That’s better. Wow your friends, wow your family, wow your taste buds. mythicalcookbookbook.com Okay, so before I give you your collective top four, and you’re gonna have to crown one. The Queen Bee-to Cheeto. Rhett, your favorite… was Xxtra Flamin’ Hot Crunchy. Which is here. And, Link, yours was Cheetos Crunchy. Which is here. And your collective least favorite was Fantastix Flamin’ Hot. And in no particular order, your collective top four include Flamin’ Hot Crunchy, Cheetos Crunchy, Xxtra Flamin’ Hot Crunchy, and Crunchy Buffalo. Buffalo was our surprise. So it’s very clear that we have a preferred shape. Crunchy. The original shape of a Cheeto. All right, so I’m glad that we get to compare these two together. Let’s eat these first. Yeah, we have to work our way up. So. Just a normal. We’ll work our way up from normal to Buffalo to hot to extra hot. So classic. It’s got such a crunch. It’s like eating a rock, almost. Just like a rock. But like a really tasty cheese rock. Man, it’s good. It’s a really, really good snack. I know it’s been around so long for a reason. I highly recommend these. I mean. it’s got a great Buffalo flavor. If you think you would like these, you will. You got to get them. Okay. So, Flamin’ Hot. All right. Just a normal Flamin’ Hot. It’s really good because I feel like you get. You got a nice flavor, then the heat hits. And these. They taste a little bit different because of the initial heat. Is it too much? I think it might be a bit too much. It might be too much for some people. I really like them, but I can just keep this bag for myself. I don’t want to push it on you. I mean, yeah, I think it’s too much for me. I feel like. I respect you for liking that. I only do it so you respect me. I think that Buffalo needs to be third place. I think it’s really, really good. But I think this is a battle of the original versus the game changer. Now, these walked so these could run. Yeah. Is one way to think about it. And then these ran all over all other types of foods. Think of the way it’s influenced the snack industry. But it wouldn’t get there without this. And when you go back to it. Even after you eat this hot stuff, it’s still really good. Link, do you want fate to decide? If it lands on red, that’s Flamin’ Hot. If it lands on black, that’s the original. Okay. Yes. We’ll let God decide this one. We’re saying it’s a tie basically. It landed on the green. No, it didn’t. It is on black twenty-eight. That means that, because God wanted it this way, the original Cheetos are the Queen Bee-to Cheeto. The best Cheeto that you can buy. Congratulations. Good gosh, I hate. I hate. You know? All right, I mean. Good gosh, doesn’t even stop. That was pretty amazing.
