GMM 2674: Is This Food Product Worth It?

It’s a cheap versus expensive product showdown. Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. You know, I love a good steal and a deal, but sometimes a quality investment will actually save you money in the long run. Unless that quality investment is just an overpriced version of a perfectly good product that does the exact same thing. Yeah, like, why pay all that money for an actual American Girl doll when you can buy a perfectly good hand carved doll from your neighbor Ron? Ron. He may be lonely, but he’s also very talented. I don’t know Ron. He’s lonely and talented. Okay, so let us help you save by comparing cheap products to their expensive counterparts. It’s time for The Power of the Price. Price. Price. Okay, boys, today you’re competing against each other for the prize of cheap thrills. But what’s more thrilling than vacuum sealers? In front of you are two vacuum sealers. One is pricey, and the other is cheap. Go ahead and test them both. And then you’re gonna tell me what you think is the more expensive. Well, mine is smaller. I got a biggie. It’s smaller. Yours has bag roll in it. Mine has bag stacked beside it. I thought, Stevie, you were gonna say nothing’s more thrilling than vacuum “silling”. Ooh, that’s good. I have to seal the bottom of the bag first. I do not. I have these, like, little pouches, but I only have one size. Now it’s done. And I want to keep this pizza nice and fresh so that when I eat it. Oh, it’s sealed. Tomorrow. It hasn’t touched more air than it needs to. Then. See? So, I’ve already caught up with you, and I haven’t done anything. And then I cut. Oh, that’s so satisfying. And then all I do is I place this. Nothing’s more thrilling than vacuum sealing. Now, I can. I can pack luggage with this, too, right? Yeah. Hold on. You got your pizza? Yep. Got my pizza. I got my Jell-O. I’m just gonna hit on. It’s cubed. I’m gonna hit dry. Oh, yes. That did it. I want a dry piece of pizza. Oh, my gosh. Look at the grease coming out of it. Look, look, look, look, Rhett, grease. Grease, grease. Oh, nothing’s more thrilling than vacuum sealing, Link. I knew that already. I just discovered a better way to get the grease off my paint supplies than to use the napkin dab. I’m gonna bring this everywhere I go to parlors. Okay, watch me. Now. Yours sounds stronger. It’s still mushy. Oh, it doesn’t crush it, though. Yeah. It didn’t crush it. No grease coming out. And then seal. I want you to look. I want you to look at what I’ve done. Now, hold up what you’ve done. Yeah. You look like an astronaut. I look like an astronaut? Yeah. Because I’m holding this next to me? Yeah. Hey, that’s all it takes. You’ve never looked more like an astronaut. Trick or treat. What are you, little boy? I’m an astronaut. Oh, no. I didn’t have to cut it. Yep. And now I’m gonna open this and eat the degreased pizza. See how it tastes. Now, Link. That sucks. I did it wrong. Try again. Okay. I did it wrong. Dude. All right, so is that user error? Hold on. Nothing’s more thrilling than vacuum sealing. And then you close that and do like this. And then you vacuum. And then. But you didn’t seal? I did seal. Okay, so now I seal. Seal. Seal! Sealed. Now I pull. You’re sealed. Pull, and then cut. So now I. Pull. Pull. Keep pulling. You might as well just keep pulling. Let’s see the seal. Yeah, I don’t have to cut it again. I’m trying to cut. So, you’ve done it? I’m an astronaut. No, you’re not. You’re a doofus. I’m also an astronaut. And when you turn it upside down, does it not move? Is it that much sealed? But, listen, in space, it won’t do that. All right, so, now. Yours definitely functioned better than mine. It was easier. It was doofus proof. It was such a tight seal, Link. It left a nice pattern. I think the aggression of the vacuum is rather impressive. I don’t like the uncustomizable bags. There you go. You want to go to space with me? No, but you could probably do, like, a risque show south of the border. All right, what else am I going to. I don’t even know what you’re talking about. I don’t have any idea. Say you want to preserve the hand of, that you’ve severed from, I don’t know, a human. I want to keep this hand nice and fresh so when the detectives come, they can have all the information they need. You see how easy this is? I like the fact that yours is smaller. It’s better for space. And I actually clamped his fingers. I don’t think he feels it. So I sealed it. Now, if there was still, like, vasculation in this hand for the serial killers out there, I think all of the stuff would splurge out like, the bloods and the liquids from the hand, and just like the grease from the pizza. Oh, this is gonna be good. Yeah. This is gonna be thrilling. Listen, when we get to space, if you’re a good boy, I’m gonna give you a marshmallow every night. So we can stay in space for about three weeks. This should really be done by now. User error. All right, so now I’ve errored. I didn’t go far enough. But we’re still having a good time. Why, Link? Because thrilling is. Nope. Because nothing’s more. Here we go. Nothing’s more thrilling than vacuum sealing. That’s right. Okay, here we go. It doesn’t. The hand’s too big. Doesn’t want to work. Vacuum. Look, look, look, look, look, look. Gotta move the. Look, look, look, Link. Link, look, look, look, Link. Mine’s weak. Look, look, look. Look, look, look. Hey, hey. Oh, look at the guts coming out of that hand. Oh, my God. You gotta warn somebody. Okay. Cotton fingers. And then I seal. That’s why I killed him, sir. He had cotton fingers. Seal. Oh, he’s just got cotton for fingers. Well, you’re. You’re. You’re free to go. There we go. Now. Killing people. Hey, hey, check that out. Catch it. Blocked. So were you trying to catch it? Just let it come to you. Rejected. Okay. Well, I wanted you to feel it, but I guess I’ll just do it myself. All right, I will give it one more try. It went right in the trash. Right in the trash. You like magic? Feel that. That one works very well. This could be a camp pillow/ And also s’mores. That’s right. You sleep on it one day, you s’more it the next day. Is this? Come on, now. Come on. I need results. I want to be thrilled. Okay, so we need to be ready to vote. This one didn’t work. So it’s kind of hit or miss. Have some marshmallow there. I’m sure it’s wrong. You won’t get marshmallows. You just get. I did something wrong. That’s a clean hole. But there’s nothing in there to suck because everything’s been removed. I just wanted you to taste the air. All right, so how are we gonna vote? We’re gonna hand over? Yeah. Hand over the one you think is more expensive. In three, two, one. The bigger, shinier one. It’s bigger. It’s got more materials. Shinier. You are both correct. Okay. So the cheaper one on Link’s side is twenty-nine ninety-nine from Amazon. How much do you think the expensive one costs us? Twenty-nine ninety-nine. Okay. Got it. I don’t think there’s that much of a difference. I thought forty-seven ninety-nine. Eighty-nine ninety-nine. Two hundred and twenty dollars and forty-nine cents. This is the Food Saver vacuum sealer, and it claims to be the original food vacuum sealer. Also, it’s equipped with four custom settings. Can you name those settings? Vacuum seal. No. Dry, moist, pulse and marinate. Yeah, something like that. I guess the pulse is for delicate foods, and you can marinate with marinate. Dry, moist settings ensure an airtight seal is achieved regardless of the type of food you’re sealing. But is it worth the money? Hold on. What is this? I think that might be the marinade. You put marinade in there, and it puts it inside of it. We’re too unfamiliar with vacuum sealing to know. I don’t think it’s worth that price differential. I’m saying no, because they both equally worked and failed. Can you get bigger bags for that one? Sure. I don’t know. I think if you’re a vacuum sealing aficionado, if you really get a thrill out of the vacuum seal, then I think you might think that this one’s worth it. And I don’t even know what this one does, but two hundred and twenty dollars? Ooh, boy. So let’s say I’ll go with you on this one, Link. Thank you. I feel unequipped. Vacuum sealers. No dice. Next up, we have drills, because nothing’s more thrilling. Yeah! Than drilling. Power drilling! Power drilling. Okay, bring in the wood at first. Now, mine doesn’t have a big battery on the bottom. But that’s kind of cool, is it not? And it says twelve volt. And mine says twenty-one volts. But are we paying for volts here? We don’t know. Mine feels. Mine’s a brushless motor. Is yours brush? I do not see a brush. I’m just gonna see how quickly with this little dinky drill bit I can go down in. Three, two, one. All right, I’m down. It seemed like it took you longer. Well, but does that? I mean. You have a smaller. Yeah, but, is it bigger? I don’t know if that goes fast or slow. I don’t know if that. I put in a bigger bit, buddy. Because I’m about to drill through a rubber band ball. Can you give me a big bit? Oh, there’s a big bit. Bigger bit. What is gonna happen to this? Maybe I’ll put that there. I’ll put it against that. Three, two, one. Yours is so fast. I thought that some rubber bands were gonna go flying, but they didn’t. You know how often you need to? Some sort of a. You need to drill your. Nipple buffer. Drill your rubber ball. Let me go in reverse this time so I can get the other side of my nipple. Oh. Oh, there we go. Speed two. Speed two? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you got two speeds. You were already on two. That’s why mine was going so slow. Because I was on one. Now let’s. Bumping balls. You ever seen two boys bump balls quite like this? Two boys bumping balls. I broke your bit. You got too carried away. Your bit came out. That’s. That’s the comedy we were looking for. The, the comedy or the “cumb-idy”? What did you say? The “cumb-idy”. That’s the “cumb-idy” we were looking for. All right, so now. Welcome to the “cumb-idy” show. We need to do a little bit of. Well, just for. Just so you know. Oh, yeah? We were going to drill into this Big Mouth Billy Bass, but we decided to keep it completely intact and send it to Matt Lieb. Right. But what we do have is we’ve got this construction worker who wants to get his ears pierced. Yeah. Can we bring him in the middle? And you do the left ear. I do the right ear. Three, two, one. Pretty easy. Pretty easy. But I. I just went through his head. Yeah, I went pretty deep. I probably. I think we need to go from the back of the ear. Oh, so you could go through? Yeah, because we. We actually have earrings here. Okay, I’m through. Is that? It’s not really how I wanted it to work. Look at that. I actually gave him a little rub a dub on his neck. Okay. All right. You want something? I’m gonna need a big one. Yeah, let’s just each take a biggie. I can’t see when your hand’s in the way. Hey, this is. This is pure comedy. All right, so now. Just pure, unadulterated comedy. It’s a comedy show. Where’s the hole? I’m basically in. Yeah, mine didn’t go all the way through, but that worked. It’s like, Saw. What are you doing, dude? Oh, that’s horrible to watch. How about that? Oh, you need a little eye help? Look at his eyelid. Can he breathe? You gotta stay awake for this procedure. Can he taste? Oh, God. Can he smell? Can he smell? Okay. He can now. All right, so what have we learned? Well, yours has a lot more volts. It does, Link. Mine has this little battery. It’s just such a little battery. But it’s very hefty the way this thing’s made. I mean. I think it would be better for our space trip, because it’s smaller. All right. Hand over the more expensive one. Three, two, one. Yes. We’re dads. We know. Brushless motor. More than voltage. This thing has less voltage, but it’s got more power somehow. You are both correct again. Yes. Dad’s for the win. The cheaper drill on Rhett’s side is twenty-nine ninety-nine from Garden Joy. So how much is the expensive one? It’s a brushless twelve volt. Impact driver. That’s one where when you start drilling, it goes like a hammer to get it to go in. Yeah, I’m not at that level, never will be. One twenty-nine ninety-nine. I’m still going cheaper. Seventy-four dollars Two hundred and twenty-nine dollars. I’ve done it again. Bosch. I would tell you some facts about it, but I don’t understand ninety percent of the words that are in that section. But do you think it’s worth it? Do you think that extra two hundred dollars would bring you to Bosch? I want to tell you right now. If you’re not a pro, no. You’re wrong. Here’s why. I recently bought a drill, and I didn’t buy this one, but. I have a cheap, crappy one. I went to the hardware store, I was like, I’m not a pro. I got the cheapest one. I hardly ever drill. You know me. Yeah. One year later. The thrill. Dead. Completely dead. Doesn’t work. It was. It’s not the battery. It’s the. It actually is trying to send power to it, but something happened to it. What? I don’t know. And so I actually went back to the hardware store, and I was like, this cheap one did not work for me. And I got to, like, a mid range one. So I actually think that thirty dollars for a drill, it’s not going to get to the job, and you’re going to end up having to buy more. You’re going to get frustrated. You’re going to start drilling. It is nice. It is nice. I’ll give it to you. Drills, worth the price. Introducing the latest and greatest quarterly collectible item, the Rhett and Link action figures. Look at this.

Because I feel like napping in a cold place. So these are wearable sleeping bags I got? Yours looks like a wearable sleeping bag. No, it doesn’t. Mine looks like insulated coveralls. Yours looks like. No, but yours looks like it’s close. Well, you look like you’re wearing a sleeping bag with two holes in it for your arm, period. If I saw somebody in that, it would be like, oh, that’s a cool contraption. If I saw somebody in this, I would be like, you just cut some holes in the side of a regular sleeping bag. I mean, I’m just saying I’m not impressed with this. And what’s happening in the bottom, like, is it just. It’s just a sleeping bag. It zips like a sleeping bag. So it is handy for, like, an actual sleeping bag. I mean, all you need to do is sometimes get your arms out, maybe zip your legs out, and walk around, maybe pull it up like a skirt and pee pee. I mean, like, that’s got a nice hood. Well, I just don’t. I don’t know if I’d call this a wearable sleeping bag, but I think it’s awesome. It’s got removable feet. I can zip this off entirely. It’s got breathable vents on the knees. It’s got a pass through pouch right here. I don’t have anything like that. It’s got a Koozie spot over here, and then I can unzip it from. Oh, it’s a little bit of my, come on, love handle. Come on, come on, come on, come on. This isn’t a “cumb-idy” show. Come on. And, I mean, I can even cover up my hands completely. I can seal everything. You know what? The best way to test this is to sleep, like we usually do when we’re in sleeping bags on ice like a couple of fish. I can’t even step in, Link. See how you stepped in so easily? I can’t even do that. So what do I do? I got to knee. I got to knee in. Now my feet are getting cold. Hold on. My foot’s out. I’m gonna sit. How did my foot come out already? Oh, it’s so cold. Your foot out? Why is my foot out? Look at. How did my foot get out? Let me get your foot. Let me get your foot back. Hold on, the zipper… Zipper. Oh, gosh. Zipping is so cold. Hold on. Zipping. It’s so cold. Your zipper failed, I think. Yeah, it sucks. This thing sucks. Hold on. How do I get my hand out? Okay. All right, so the zipper has failed. My feet are getting so cold. All right. Here we go. Here we go. Bring them in. I’m trying. Just bend your knees, and shut up. I’m trying. All right. I’m never gonna be able to sleep. There you go. All right, so now You gotta get your head in there. I’m too big. Lay this way, here, and get your. Let me put my arms in. You can zip it from the inside. Why am I doing all this for you? I came out a different hole. All right. So I. I don’t think I’m gonna be able to get back in. Oh, I feel like a newborn baby. I mean, I’m. I’m good to go. I’m. I’m cooking, like, looking. I’m not. Are you. How? Are you getting cold? I feel a little coolness. I’m going. My back, but. And I feel. Oh, here, I gotta. Maybe I’ll close up my pockets. My feet are especially cold because they’re still wet inside. I’m doing pretty good. Can you feel the ice through the suit? Yeah, a little bit. I feel some coolness, but maybe we should have some more. Most of that went right in the hole. I’m definitely. I definitely felt that. I got real ice on my actual skin right now. All of it went right down a little ramp into my bag. I mean, are we being prepared for organ donation? What is actually happening here? We’re gonna slowly fall asleep, and they’re gonna put us in the back of a trailer. Shoot, guys, just put these on and take a nap. All right. I think I know. Okay. Hand on the more expensive one? Three, two, one. Yeah. Yeah. You’re both correct. Although, like. Bring in the boards. What constitutes a wearable sleeping bag if you’re just wearing, like, a jumper? I know. Exactly. Confusing. You also look like a Delta seat come to life, you know? Okay. The less expensive one that is on Rhett is from Sportneer for thirty-five ninety-nine. That feels like a sport. That’s not good. That’s not good. How much is the one on Link? I’m not gonna make the mistake I’ve made in previous rounds. At least I’m gonna try not to. Two hundred and twenty dollars. Three hundred and ninety-four dollars and seventy-nine cents. A hundred and ninety-nine dollars! Oh, that’s a steal! It’s called the Selk’bag. And. That’s not bad. It also has a balaclava in it. A balaclava? You know. Where is it? Isn’t it in your? It’s like, the thing. It’s like the face mask type of. Is there something in the hood? At first I thought it said baklava and I was like, that’s a nice. It’s got a little piece of baklava in it. What has mine got a brownie? I’m so wet in here. Hey, there it is. Also, apparently, it’s crafted from two hundred and thirty recycled plastic bottles with all fabrics, insulation, and zippers sourced from post consumer recycled materials, which is really awesome. That’s really awesome. Put on your own mask before you put one on children. Is it worth the price? I mean, two hundred dollars? I think that’s pretty. I think it’s. I think it’s very good. I thought it was gonna be four hundred. So, yeah, we’re saying, yeah. Wearable sleeping bag. Worth the price. And that means y’all tied on guessing the more expensive ones. But, Rhett, you were closer overall in your price guessing. So you get cheap thrills in Good Mythical More. Oh, I love those. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. You know what time it is.
