GMM 2753: International Snack Taste Test

Can we guess where these international world market snacks are from? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning! Have you ever been inside a World Market? Not a sponsor. Formerly known as Cost Plus World Market. You bet I have. Still not a sponsor. Yeah. Well, yeah, there’s, I mean, there’s lots of stuff you can see. You can waste hours looking at all of their strange trinkets. Yes. The wall of decorative pillows. The inexplicable plethora of wicker furniture. Yet, never buy a single thing. Yes, there’s a lot of perusing that I enjoy doing there, including perusing their section of unique snacks from around the world. Oh, see, that might give you an advantage today, because we’re trying those snacks from around the world that came to the World Market and then to us. It’s time for Where In The World Do These International World Market Snacks Come From? Ba bom, bom, bom, ba ba bom, ba ba bom, ba bom, ba bom. Okay, boys, you’ll be tasting international prepackaged snacks from World Market and then throwing darts at where you think they’re from. Chase, the World Market cartographer, will be measuring your darts. Cart! He’s holding a cart! Actually, yeah, I was a little late to get there. It was a busy time, so it’s a basket. Okay. Use your imagination. I’m imagining wheels on it, and you’re pushing it. Yeah. And we’re still working with our ultra high tech map. Uh, we recently got a new OS update installed, so the map’s super accurate sensors can no longer feel when the dart lands, but it can deliver biometric data about the person who threw the dart. Uh, technology’s amazing. And since Rhett has won. The last two times, Link, you’re gonna get an advantage in the round of your choice. Uh, little tip for this round, boys. You can peel the, the stuff in front. You try peeling it. What? This is so smooshy. Well, it’s banana flavored. I’ll tell ya that much. I mean, I’m, I’m glad you said that because Hold on, you lying to us. Uh huh. Oh, no, no, no. There’s something inside. It’s a banana. Oh! Hold on, this is incredible! It’s just actual banana inside of, is that, so it’s inedible, the stuff on the outside? No! No, it’s gummy. This is a revelation! Wow. I’ve never bought anything from there, I’ve just perused, and so I don’t, like, I’ve never, like, I don’t actually have an advantage. I don’t remember these. I don’t have one of those. It’s so mushy! I’ll let you have one. Here you go. Chris, you gotta get one of those, bro. He lost a hat. Yeah, it’s okay. I’m not the world hat cartographer. It’s like, uh. This might be my new favorite candy. It’s the most rubbery, gummy, consistency of experience. It’s like a gusher. But instead of it gushing, it just kinda oozes banana. Oozes banana. Wow. I’m so pleased right now. I don’t even like banana flavored things, and there’s, it’s strangely pleasing in multiple ways. It feels like a toy, it feels like a squishy. But then you eat it, you can peel it. You can now tell people that you don’t like bananas, but you like. Whatever this is. Well, who goes first, me? That’s, uh, you, yeah. Because you won last time. Okay. Now, you’ve been to Thailand. Yes, I have, and I remember everything I ate there. I can see bananas being big in Thailand. Uh I could see, well, the thing is, is that Central America is known for its bananas. I’m gonna tell you right now. I went to Portugal, and I went specifically to the island of Madeira. I told you about this. I took pictures, I showed them to you. Of the different types of bananas that they had. Right. On the island of Madeira. Which is technically in the country of Portugal. And they were so about their bananas. That you think maybe it has influenced the mainland and they make these wonderful candies? Yeah, I don’t know. I have no better guess than that. I think Thailand is probably a better guess, but. I’ll take that one. Portugal. Portugal. The data indicates the player who threw this dart is pretending to have more fun than he actually is. I love these, I love these snacks. I really do. Not even a physical connection there. Tell me to stop eating these, please. Stop eating those, please. Um, you can have that one. I’m gonna go with, uh, the answer that I was thinking, which is the one that you are also telling me to do, which is Thailand. They got bananas. Why wouldn’t they have the banana gummy? Ooh, yeah. Data indicates the player who threw this dart is no longer basking in the eternal light of God. Oh, gosh! It’s making religious determinations. That’s a little scary. You just had Amos Peeler’z Banana Gummy Candy, an interactive candy made with real fruit juice from China. Oh, I was wrong, but I was close. Peelers! So they do make it where you can peel. I am, I just can’t really understand how good it is. I can’t understand how you peel, it’s not really peelable. It says peelable on there. Oh. I think you have to have some nails. I mean, I just peeled it, but look at that stuff. It won the 2024 International Taste Institute Superior Taste Award in Brussels! I’m having a great time! Whoops. Can I take these home? Sure. Also, Rhett, you had 32. Link, 12. Woo! Thank God. See? Still got it. It’s a little, looks like a little candy bar. You think it’s marshmallow inside? Ooh, it’s, I can’t break it. Mmm! It’s hard. But it’s just a brown. What is that taste? It’s so good! It kinda gives me shivers when I bite into it, though. Because it’s. Is that, like, dried peanut butter? I don’t think it’s peanut butter. Is it toffee like? It’s more of that, yeah. Can I take these home? You like these? It doesn’t give you a. It’s no banana. A scratching, like, fingernails on chalkboard kinda sensation when you bite it? No. Like, I really like it. I should start buying things here, not just looking at them. You should just live there. World Market. I mean, you sleep on wicker? With a decorative pillow? Alright, so now I’m going first. Hmm. Uh. I just cannot identify the brown stuff in the middle. Which would help me. If I could do that. I’m trying. It’s not eliciting a huge reaction, though. Not unlike the continent country of Australia. It always elicits a small reaction from me. Love it! But, I’m torn between Canada and Australia. Is that gonna put me right in the middle? I think it’s Australia. But, I’m gonna, I’m gonna go with a little. Oh, you’re gonna go with a weak, a weak guess. A South African bent to my Australian. Hedging his bets. Yep. Okay, all right, I’ll take that. Data indicates the person who threw this dart has high levels of vitamin B otch. Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! And how does one boost those levels, I wonder? Well, you need to reduce them, I think is the, you’re in a toxic situation here. Link, the more I ate this, the more I liked it. And the fact that it was totally the opposite of the last one, it’s crispy, like, I could like, just eat snacks and go from all ends of the taste spectrum. Yeah. I think it tastes. You’re acting real happy. I think it tastes like creme brulee, which last time I checked was a French dish. Creme brulee bar? I don’t know, that’s what it tasted like to me, so. I’m going France. Whoo! A little high. Why is it so high? Data indicates the player who threw this dart has high levels of likelihood to get a bad tattoo. Again? Which one? Which one? Gathering data. Gathering data. Gathering data. Don’t say both. Both. You just had Violet Crumble Chocolate Honeycomb Candy Cubes. This candy now comes in cube and nugget form, but the original candy bar version was created in 1913 and was the first chocolate bar created in Australia. Oh, I was right! See, you should have just gone with your gut, man. You’re still a lot closer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How did I do? You had 32. Rhett, 57. Oh, 57. I might as well have missed the board. Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom. You should clockadoodle do yourself a favor and check out the new Clock-atrice hoodie, available in gray and dark brown at mythical.com. Check it out. Look at this thing. We’ve got Belvedere as a machinated clock. Clock. Clockatrice. Clockatrice robot figure. Who is stomping all over town. That’s right. Mythical.com, get one! Okay, Link. Oh. This is not going to be sweet. Now, should I look at the top? This is a tin. Oh, it doesn’t say anything on it. No, it doesn’t say anything. This is gonna be a fish product. Well, it could be meat. Oh, my God. What is that? It looks like a whole squid. It looks like a whole squid body. Great. Is it peelable? Okay. Strong. It’s strong. It is stuffed. Huh. Full of. And it’s in a nice sauce. It’s in a really nice sauce. See how much, like, Link likes it? Look at the look on his face. Link, do you love it? It’s not unpleasant, but Available at World Market. Wow. British, British love. Oh, gosh. Okay. Well, you’re up. It’s oily, it’s fishy. Does it have a crab inside of it? Huh. I don’t know what’s inside of there. But, okay. Is this Portugal? Um, I think, see, if I, if there was more of like a Scandinavian country up there, I’d be thinking that. But in its absence, this is not, um, an Asian thing because it, it just doesn’t, the taste, it’s not, it’s spicy enough. There’s not as much flavor. Huh. I’m gonna stick with, I’m gonna stick with Portugal. I think that they’re right there, surrounded by water. And squids. Ooh, yeah. Data indicates the player who threw this dart is really feeling himself today. Go home with your bad self. Yeah. Can’t deny it. I am in the lead. Maybe I’ll get some good data when I throw. Um. Do you disagree? Link. If you had gone for. A lot of sugar in there. I thought you were gonna go for Thailand. If you went for Thailand, I was gonna go for Portugal because I’m down so far. The reason I felt like Portugal would be a good guess is because while I was in Portugal. You were there. There were stores that were completely dedicated to tinned fish. Stores that had nothing but tinned fish. And they had by section, every single year, from like 1940 something until, and I thought these fish had been packaged in those years. Yeah. But it was, no, like, you can get a thing of tinned fish that says 1977 on it. That’s what I would do, because that’s the year I was born, and it has, like, facts about 1977. And the whole store, in every city we went to, they had the same thing. It’s like a souvenir sardine. I don’t know if they had squid, but it was sardines and all kinds of stuff. So I think you have made a good guess, but I can’t go to the same place, cause I’m too far down. So I’ve got to go to the only other logical choice. Thailand. Thailand. And I’m not doing a good job of throwing today, so oh ho! But now I am! It’s really close. Data, data, data indicates the player who threw this dart is currently experiencing a boner. Okay, I’ll take that. I’ll take that. You’ll take that where? You just had. I’ll take it home. Miss Can Stuffed squid, and Miss Can claims that each tin tells a story from being freshly caught, packed by hand, and brought to the market, offering you an experience of the pure and bold flavors of Portugal. Yes! Yep. See, look, they have it all over the place. They’ve got this stuff. I brought some home. I gave it to relatives. Not this one in particular. And what’s it stuffed with? Uh, I’m not sure. It has rice and, uh, like, squid pieces and tomato sauce. This tomato sauce is what they put on their francesinha. The best sandwich in Portugal. Link, you had five. Rhett, 36. Okay, I’m going for a high score. Chips. Chips, they’re just chips. But you know as well as I do, a chip can get cray. Mm. Mm! Savory. Spicy. Yeah, it just kinda eases up on you. I know I have an advantage, but. This is a good chip. I don’t really think I even need to use an advantage. Save it. I think there’s something a little, and this is free for all, Stevie? Yep, it’s a mystery round. Okay. I’m gonna eat them all. I think it’s meaty. Mm. Mm! It almost tastes like seafood, uh, sprinkle. Like there’s, there’s some sort of seafoodiness thing happening here. Hmm. Spicy, seafood, Oh, crap. See, I, I think this could be, um, this could be Indonesia. I think it has that, like. Mmm. Asian Pazang to it. Pazang? Pazang. You mind if I eat the last of them? But again, you can have it. It could also be India. All right. I made a lot of discoveries today. I’m gonna try to be in that zone. All right. Data indicates, if this player was kidnapped, the family would not pay the ransom. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Okay. Harsh. Alright. Okay. Link. They just, they just want to cash in the life insurance or something. Correct. . I, I get it. I cannot win unless you extend an offer to me. I think you see that hole in the second a, in the word Canada. That’s very, that’s very small. How about just you pick a letter in Canada, if you can hit that, you win. If I can hit the whole, or if I can hit the A, the second A in Canada. All right, fine. I’ll let you hit anywhere on the second A in Canada. But I also have to guess the correct country, right? Yep. And it has to be Canada. It can’t be Canada. Guess any country. It has to be right. Hit the second A. Okay. I’m gonna go, there’s something about me that wants to just say the United States, cause I feel like they’re throwing us off a little bit. And you can get stuff that’s United States ish from World Market because the United States is still in the world. Yeah. And so, I’m gonna do that. I’m gonna say it’s the United States. You just think this is like a barbecue potato chip? No, no, no. I think it’s like a I just think it’s something special they got there. And I’m gonna hit the A in Canada. I think you should just guess Canada. Fine. Oh, you missed. There’s no way you can win. Data indicates the player who threw this dart has an ultra sensitive gag reflex. Too bad. Alright, I didn’t know that about myself. Too bad. You just had spicy seafood potato chips created by the instant noodle company that claims to be the pinnacle of noodle dom, Nissin, from Japan. Japan. Alright. It looks like a cup of noodles. Rhett, you had 64. Link, uh, you had a lot less. Yes! 27. Congratulations, Link. You get to be on top of the world. And by that we mean we’re gonna have a little figurine of you, uh, that’s gonna be at the top of the map next time we play. Oh, really? Well, there he is right there. I’m gonna hit him with a dart. Huh. Well, you can try. Thanks for commenting and sharing this video. You know what time it is.
