GMM 2921: Guess The Mystery Vending Machine Snack

What mystery snack is in our vending machine? Let’s talk about that. “Good Mythical Morning.” You know what I love to run into when I’m hungry? A vending machine? A vending machine. Yes, Link. But everyone has their own go-to vending machine snacks and some are hard to predict. But Link and I have always been on the same page. Oh yeah. So, I don’t see us having a problem guessing each other’s snacks. It’s time for Vendor Reveal Party. Okay, boys. Link, you have a mystery snack in your lunchbox. And before we find out what it is, mythical beasts, if you want to play along at home, look away now. Look away! Look away. Look away. Look away. Here’s the snack that you’re not looking at if you’re playing along. Okay, keep looking away. Keep looking away. Keep looking away. Keep looking away. Okay, look at me. Okay, Rhett, your goal is to figure out what snack Link has by asking up to five questions that help you eliminate enough snacks from the vending machine in front of you to make your guess. But the twist is you can only ask non-physical description questions. So, go ahead and ask your first question. It’s everybody’s favorite new “Good Mythical Morning” game. Yeah, I’d like to start with a little statement and that is, I love this game. Everybody loves this game. Well, not everybody. There’s some people who have bad taste. Okay. Look at me. Link. Scenario time. The scenario is you are in the hot tub with your wife and you are hoping that hot tub time will lead to business time. Yep, signing contracts. So, if you break this snack out in the hot tub, does it make business time more or less likely? That’s a good starting question. I like this scenario ’cause I can relate, man. Hard relate as they say. Okay, not too hard though, right? I would say as long as I don’t drop it. I might pop it. I get it, I get it. Okay, so you’re saying this is not an unsexy snack, but is a snack that might get ruined by hot water. It was a two for one. I’m glad you took the bait, my friend. Okay, so Rhett, go ahead and eliminate the snacks you feel aren’t Link’s hidden snack based on that answer. Also, there is a hidden mystery bag in the machine. I’ll tell you when you find it. Could be bad, could be good. Also also, this time around, if you lose two outta the three rounds today, you have to eat a super spicy snack at the end. Oh, no, no we don’t. Not gonna happen. It’s true, it’s true. So, go ahead and vend the ones that are not Link’s snack. Okay. You definitely don’t want those for obvious reasons. Oh boy, if you drop this, you got a problem. Are you also getting rid of anything that’s just plain unsexy? Oh yeah. I’m being a little bit more conservative than we typically are in these first rounds, and I’m going with things that like, have an ingredient that probably doesn’t help with sexy time. I’m trying to be a little bit smarter than I have been in the past. I mean, speaking of, I need you to, I’m grappling with this because Link said he doesn’t wanna drop the snack, but you wanna keep in the machine what you think his snack is and vend out what you don’t think his snack is. Oh, can I redo all that? Because you were getting rid of sexy things, too? No, I was getting rid of unsexy things that would be, that would, that would be messed up. So I- If you dropped them? Yeah, I pulled a you. Wow. What an idiot I was. Hey, you know what, it happens. Okay. To the best of us. All right, so, I’m not gonna get too crazy here. So now you’re removing things that you want to drop in the hot tub. But- Ow. I’m gonna stop and I’m gonna ask another question. Okay. You’re a rap fan, hip hop fan. Yeah. If you were listening to a hip hop song and in the lyrics this snack was mentioned, would you be like, “Hold on a second. Hold on a second, let me rewind that. That was weird that that was mentioned in a rap song.” By name? By name. Okay, if I heard a rapper drop this in the lyrics, I’d be like, “Of course.” Of course. Yes. They’re not gonna mention this. Why would they ever say that? Good question, dude. This would be weird to say. This would be super weird to say, but maybe it’s got so many words that makes it work worth it. But also, you know what? This would’ve been bad for your sexy time. I gotta get rid of that. Okay, stop right there. Is he stopping? All right. If Gwyneth Paltrow was caught in a photo by the paparazzi eating this snack, would it end up in “People” magazine with a caption like “She’s just like us”? Like, or like. No. Okay. No. No, oh, yo, whoa. Whoa! If she was eating these, people would talk about it in “People.” People would talk about it in “People.” I’m not sure what else I’m gonna get rid of of that question. Maybe that wasn’t a great question. I don’t feel right removing any more so I’m gonna move on to another question. You only removed one. Yes. I’ve made the mistake of removing too many. Okay, that’s fair. Would Matthew McConaughey make a commercial for this candy? Now take into account two factors. Does he fit the brand and is he willing, do they have the money to pay? You gotta take those two things into account, brother. Let me look at this thing. I’m not looking. This may be my best question ever. Crap. This is tough because- ‘Cause it got two aspects to it. I think he would want to, but… Oh. I just don’t think they’re gonna pony up. Okay, all right. Okay. We know they don’t have the money for it. Ah, that’s your mystery snack. Uh oh. And this is my mystery pack voice. This one- Also, I shouldn’t have done that. I did the same thing again. But I’m glad I did it. Wait, what? You vended the wrong thing? Because you said they didn’t have the money, which means that they don’t have a lot of money, which I means I shouldn’t get rid of it. Okay, well we are going to have a physical reminder of this oopsie because the mystery bag says you must wear this accessory for the remainder of your round. If we could grab this accessory. It’s the hat of shame. Oh my God, it’s the hat of shame. That’s what you get for not knowing how to play the game. Okay. Boy, you look so stupid. So, they do not have the money. So, we gotta get rid of the people who do have the money. They were negotiating. They got all kinds of money. He was on board. They got- They were saying things like, “We got McConaughey.” They got all kinds of money. But he didn’t sign yet. Okay. Hey, now we rent this. I think they got the money, too. I think they probably had the money, but I don’t know. But they definitely have the money. Where are you at? Okay, I’ve got four snacks left. Well that’s good, ’cause you only got one more question left. This is your last chance. Okay. Let’s say I’m one of those people who helps the planes. Okay. And I lose the things that I hold in my hands. Okay. And all I have is this snack, not the packaging, the snack itself. What’s your question? Are crashes going to occur? Are crashes going to occur? Are crashes- Not, obviously crashes are more likely to occur than if I had the things. But like in the snack world, is it like, yeah, actually this might do the job. I’m gonna say, you know what, actually this might do the job. You think it might do the job? I think it might do the job. Well, that’s not gonna do the job because that looks like part of your hand. This is not gonna do the job, ’cause it looks like part of your hand maybe. What’s this part of your hand stuff? I wasn’t really thinking about if it would look like part of your hand. I’m just saying it would, those two would blend into your hand. The ones that I. Well, okay. This one has a color that I think would work. This one does, too. But this has a shape that I think would work. And so, I’m taking a chance and I feel like all the other things that I said make this a good guess. And so, okay, I’m going to, this is my choice. I’m going to vend it and I’m gonna grab it, okay? Okay, dude. I’m scared. Okay, now don’t look at each other, but Link, you go ahead and take out your mystery snack. Don’t look. Yes, I got it. Okay. I got it. Okay. Okay. Now you’re gonna reveal to each other in three, two, one. No, what? It’s the Milano double dark chocolate. That looks like your hand! I also eliminated it at some point earlier. Matthew McConaughey Matthew McConaughey. Pepperidge Farm ain’t got the money for McConaughey. All kinds of money. They got farms! What do you mean? Pepperidge Farms got so much money, they got all kinds of commercials, man. But look, and then look at this. This is perfect. This is perfect for doing that. Pepperidge Farm is a big brand, bro. Pepperidge Farm is not. What else do they make? The question is, Glico ain’t got no money. That’s true. Glico ain’t paying McConaughey, but that’s, Milano is McConaughey money. I’ll put it this way. Pepperidge Farm, if you got the money, let’s see it, pony up. We’ll take, we’ll undercut McConaughey every day of the week. Please sponsor. Please sponsor an episode of this show. Please sponsor us. Dang it, son. Attention. We have rereleased our Sweater Weather mug set. Okay, those are the ones that we have over on the desk, but we’ve also added a new mug, the Mythical Snow Day mug. And let me just tell you, these mugs are big. Look at this, I’m a big man. This is my fist. Wow, your fist fits completely in that mug. Please laugh. Where could I get such a fistable mug? At mythical.com, Link. Okay. We were told that’s how we were supposed to promote it. Yeah, that’s right. I mean, hey, I’m just following directions. Look at these snacks. Oh, we got some particularly handsome snacks. Okay. Down there at 52. Link. Who is that? Link, please look away. Hold on a second. Why are we in here? Are we, because you’re trying to say we snacks. Well if you win, we take a spot away and we put your photos there. You were there for when we did that before. We won? But yeah. Well, you won something. So it gets easy? I will say in terms of winning, you guys, you need to get these next two rounds right. Okay. I love this game. We’re not good at it, but I love it. You should say, if you’re not playing along, look. If you’re not playing along. Look at that. Look at this. And then people are gonna get confused and they’re gonna not look when they don’t want to play along. Okay, is it over? It’s over. Okay. Rhett, you have been living on a commune. Always thought about it, I always thought about it. For eight years. Well that’s quite a time. And you’ve got a committed company of communers. And you have worked your way up to be in charge of the snacks at the annual, are we sure we want to keep not shaving our armpit meeting? Okay, yep, I know the one. So, is this a good snack to put out? Is everybody happy? Definitely not everyone is happy, but the people who are happy are real happy. I mean, everybody in this commune is fully committed to the lifestyle. So, it’s a pretty homogenous group in my opinion. You cannot have a homogenous group about this particular thing. All right, I’m just gonna go with every, the things that everyone at the commune would like. I’m getting rid of 14 because everybody at the commune would love that. I think everyone would love 12 as well. Everyone in the commune is gonna love 12, but they love 54? I just don’t think there’s that much snacks that the commune loves. I’m gonna leave it at that. Okay, but hold on to that. All right. Lemme take a, lemme go to the opposite track here. You’re a high powered business person. Okay? Making a presentation that is going to set the world of business on fire if the board buys in, but you’ve made the strategic choice to be snacking upon this snack throughout your entire presentation. What happens? Okay, can I just say that in general to snack while presenting is weird. The culture at this company is you can snack at all times. So, that’s not throwing people off. It’s more about the specific snack. I do not believe that anyone, if this is a snacking culture. It is. What you have just said. It’s a snacking corporation. I would say- Pepperidge Farms. I’ll just go ahead and say it, okay. They got plenty of money. Yeah, they got plenty of money. I would say two things. I do not believe that anyone would bat an eye at me snacking on this during the presentation. But I do not believe this is the kind of thing that I could snack on for an entire presentation unless I was taking smaller bites. It’s not the kind of thing that you just carry around eating for an extended period of time. I’m gonna choose to eliminate things. And it’s polarizing. Shush. I’m gonna choose to eliminate things that are demonstrably weird, even in a snacking presentation culture corporation. And? Nope, I’m just gonna do that first. Okay, got it. So, what did I just say? It’s so confusing. You just said things that would be weird to snack on in a snacking culture. I’m gonna get rid of. Yes. All right, so. If it’s obviously weird, get rid of it without reservation. I am. Without reservation. 10 is kind of acceptable. 20, it would be totally strange. I mean, I just can’t see anybody eating that during a presentation. This feels safe, this feels safe. Would you like to consider the second part of the question? I’m now gonna consider the second part, which is it wouldn’t last long. So I need to get rid of things that would last throughout an entire presentation. That’s not exactly what I mean. You could make anything last long by, you know. If you eat it normally, it’s going to be gone. It’s not the kind of thing that somebody sits there for like an hour and eats, you know. That’s a long presentation. A 30 minute presentation, you know. I think you could easily stretch out 41. You could easily stretch out 41 over 30 minutes. I think you could stretch this puppy out. You could eat that over an hour. Interesting. You gonna fall? You’ve hit a mystery bag. Oh, you’re a mystery bag? You gonna fall for me? All right, Stevie, hit me with the consequences. Actually this is a good mystery bag. I’m going to tell you the price of the correct snack. Yes! It is $1.99. $2? $2. So now, I need to get rid of anything that I think is more expensive than that. I don’t know. Just you’re not good with this. Yeah, but. You don’t know. You don’t know prices of anything and there’s been inflation. I just don’t know if you should- I think 40 is really expensive though, so I’m gonna get rid of that. I think I gotta ask another question. Okay. And I can do that. That is game. You’ve got more. You are across the room at a party. Let’s say you see Jessie. Oh. From across the room and you’re snacking upon the snack in your box, but you want to have a sexy interaction with this snack while maintaining eye contact with her to like paint a picture of what might happen later. You could make out with a snack or you could do even more. Okay, here’s the issue. From a distance, if I was- Bette Midler. If I was eating this. You’re not eating it, but you’re fondling it with your mouth. Yeah. It could, it could suggest that I wanted to do something that I don’t think either of us want to do it. It might- What? From a distance it might look like I was saying, “Hey, I might be into this” and I don’t think she’d be into that and I wouldn’t be into it either. Y’all know what I’m saying? No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I could, a number of things popped into my head. I mean, there’s not a lot of things that I don’t, I don’t think the big man over here wouldn’t be into. I could make aspects of this sexy. He cannot make it sexy. But if she knew what it was. He can’t. If she knew what it was, it could be sexy. But if she thought it might be what it looked like from a distance, it would not be sexy to my wife. Okay. This, 42 has a sleeve. That could be sexy. But what would it look like from a distance? Yeah, but I don’t wanna remove those. I wanna remove things that from a distance look sexy. Correct. I also think that’s, I’m getting rid of 16 because I should have already done that because you can stretch that out over a presentation and it is not polarizing on a commune. Okay, that feels safe. I also think I would know from a distance at a party what 50 is and it’s triangle shaped. Hello. So, that’s the most sexiest thing up here, Link. Okay. Getting rid of that. And I’m taking you with me. Question time. All right, okay. Would your snack make for an okay building material? Okay? What’s a? In a pinch. What’s my environment? Unlimited of this snack. It’s an isolated environment and there’s nothing to impact it weather or animal-wise. This snack has a property to it that I do think I would be able to manipulate it into some kind of structure. Now, you can’t make it into a slurry and then add anything to it. I don’t know if I can have a roof. I really think a roof is gonna be difficult. I think I could do walls, walls all day. I’m gonna remove things that definitely can’t make walls. That would be 34. You have an unlimited amount, so I feel like 36 might still work, but I just don’t think you can make a wall out of 36. So, I’m getting rid of it. Crap, crap, crap. Okay, now I’m down to my last question. How many items you got? Five, six. We got this. Okay, I think I’m just gonna say it because based on the sexy distance thing, I just need to ask like a very pointed, clarifying question about that. Okay. Okay. Are you into, no, just kidding. If this was floating in a pool, would you run? Yes. Okay. All right. I’m getting rid of 30. I’m feeling good about this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m getting rid of 46. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m getting rid of 47. I’m getting rid of, hmm. Uh oh. I think I’m gonna get rid of 44, ’cause they’re so uniform. And I’m a little nervous, but I think the choice is clear. I’m going to eliminate 42. Leaving, oh, come on. Leaving 43 as my choice and our only chance of not eating the hot thing and staying in this. Okay. Feeling good, man. You feeling good? Yeah, I’m feeling good, I’m feeling good. I think we got it. I think we got it. Okay. I think we got it. Three, two, one. Almond Joy! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Oh. Now eat that sexy from across the room for me. From a distance. Just from a distance, look. Eye contact. That’s not sexy, man. You don’t even like these ’cause it’s polarizing, right? Sorry. Okay. It didn’t work. You’re right. You’re still in it. We have one more round and if you can get that one, you don’t have to eat the spicy snack and maybe you also get a little bonus gift. Okay. Okay. So for this round, I’m thinking of a snack and you can only ask me three questions to try and guess which snack I’m thinking of. And after each question, you can make a guess by dispensing a snack. Okay. A lot on the line, spicy food, bonus gift. Mythical beasts, you wanna play along, look away from the screen now. And we’re back. Okay. Let’s give Stevie a scenario. Stevie, we’re gonna give you a scenario. Okay, all right, I’m familiar. Okay, go with me on this. What occasion would she have that she’s been given responsibility for up to a dozen toddlers? Two hours. She’s gone full clown. Stevie, you’ve gone full clown. Okay. Okay. And you’re at the- I don’t mean she’s entertaining them. I mean that she has to care for them. She’s been given. Okay. She’s caring for them. All right, so you are… Your cousin runs a daycare and she had an emergency and you’ve gotta step in and be in control of 12 two- to four-year-olds. All right. They start- And you’re not a clown. They start saying, “We’re hungry!” At least the ones that can talk. You have this snack unlimited. When your cousin comes back from the ER, ’cause it turns out, it was not really an emergency. She’s just a hypochondriac. Oh good. And she comes back and you’ve like, little kids have come up to you each time they say you’re hungry and you give them this. Maybe it’s one of these things. Would you be seen as a irresponsible adult if when they returned you had been giving this snack out to these children? In copious amounts is what you’re saying. In like when they want it. When they wanted it. No limit. No. Oh yeah. I’ll be good. All right, so we- Goldfish is a great guess. I think goldfish is a great guess. I also think that those Bare salt and caramel crunchy things, those seem kind of healthy. You mean the apples? Oh yeah. Is that what you mean by crunchy things? That has a giant apple on it. Oh yeah. And a few slices of apple. Yeah, that. Yeah. Okay, apples is a really good answer. Could be moon cheese, but that’s still cheese. Mushroom chips. You can’t give a bunch of kids cheese, ’cause then they all get stopped up. What about mushrooms? Can you give kids a lot of mushrooms? Oh yeah, for sure. Especially here in California. I really think we don’t need to ask. And then the seaweed. Seaweed could be responsible. They would love goldfish. I think it’s either the seaweed or the mushrooms. Let’s go with the mushrooms. It’s lightning around. We gotta make a decision. Crunchy mushroom chips. Incorrect. Ah. Okay. Okay, new question. Stevie, if you ate this in the wrong way, would it hurt? Like… Meaning like you’re supposed to eat it like this, but you eat it like this? Like you rotated it. Is there a way to- Is there a way to rotate it? Is there a way that you can eat it that would hurt? If I inhaled it, and just straight into my throat, it would not be good, but otherwise. You’re describing choking? Yeah. But otherwise I would consider this pretty safe. Well, Chips Ahoy are round. But then if you rotate it the other way and you try to eat it. If you eat a cookie like this. That’s not gonna work. That’s a problem. It’s not gonna work. So we’re not get, we’re getting rid of that. It’s not that. And that’s the same for the oatmeal cookie. And you wouldn’t eat a Taki sideways. I think it might be the goldfish combining these two. Goldfish can go in anyway, but it could choke you and also you could give these freely to children. And they would be, and parents would be okay with it? Yeah. Goldfish? Yeah. It’s like the quintessential toddler food. Pepperidge Farms. We are guessing goldfish. Incorrect. One question left. I’m glad you didn’t pick that one because that would’ve been way too basic and that’s not you. Okay, so taking all that into account, I feel like we’re down to the seaweed and we’re down to the, you can give kids pretzels. You can give ’em that. And you can eat ’em anyway. You can give kids, those are apples, Link. You can give those kids apples. If you got real uptight when the parents came back and you just, you know, your hands were full of it and you started squeezing it, what would happen? There would be a lot to sweep up. Yeah. See, there we go baby. We’re going with… Roasted seaweed snacks to avoid… Rental. Correct! Yes. Yes, gimme a backwards hug. No spicy snacks. Hold on, don’t ask for backwards hugs. And you get another photo in one of the spots, so next time the game’s a little bit easier for you. So we don’t have to eat this. Oh wow, we did it. I’m so proud of us. Oh wow.
