GMM 2926: International Taco Bell Taste Test

We’re tastin’ Taco Bell menu items from around the world. Let’s talk about that. “Good Mythical Morning.” Taco Bell is always there when ya need it, wherever you are. When ya need a quick meal, when you’re feelin’ munchy, or when you wanna use it for a game to guess where international Taco Bell menu items come from. Now, we did this before, back in 2019, but Taco Bell continues to have one of the most interesting global menus in the fast food circuit. So, we’re doin’ it again. It’s time for- ♪ Where in the World ♪ ♪ Do These International Taco Bell Dishes Come From ♪ Okay, boys, to guess where today’s international Taco Bell menu items come from, you’ll throw your darts at the map, and Chase, the Taco Bellhop, will measure your dart’s determined points. He’s back! Mr. McLaughlin, Mr. Neal, welcome back. Can I help you with anything? Oh, we use our aliases for hotels. Oh, okay. Don’t… I almost said it. Yeah, I don’t know if I should reveal that. That would defeat the point. What is it? Floor four, please. You’ve got it. Do you have anything for me? Mm-mmm, no. Like what? I dunno, like a tip? But just- Oh. Sorry, no. Um, okay. Rhett won last time- Awkward! So he throws first. That means Link gets an advantage, and I’ll tell ya about it when you’re ready for it. Yes. I will say, the last time we did this, Link did win though. Mm-hmm. It was a close one. Look at this thing. The Taco Bell one, you’re sayin’? The Taco Bell one! Yeah, yeah. This thing is stacked to the max. I’m gon’ ruin it. We got three- Oh! Oh, it’s nice, the way it opens up like that. That’s nice. A three-shell stack? Whoa! Now, you tell me, do we have this here? That is purdy. Have you seen this here? Look at that. This is like a tortilla stack that my mama made, but keepin’ it hard. Keepin’ it hard, Mom! Keep it hard, Mom! That’s what you say before ya hang out with her? Thank you for slurping excessively- Mmm! As you ate a taco thing. I’m not really gettin’ much of anything that I wouldn’t expect in a normal one. Right! It’s very juicy, it’s very, um- It’s quite tasty. There’s a creaminess in there. I don’t know if we would stack three hard, like that, here in America. Because there’s a lotta stuff that could go wrong in the packaging. It’s kinda tall too. You know what I’m sayin’? It might be open in the lid, and then everything’s stuck to it. I don’t know if we expect that much in America. Now, you know how Chase said, “Mr. McLaughlin, Mr. Neal,” you know, that’s how he welcomed you? Yeah. So if you remember, back when we were standing in front of a hotel, and Leon Bridges walked in, and Link, you said, “Mr. Bridges,” and we said, “That makes it seem like you’re a bellhop at this hotel,” and it was confusing for you? Now you see, that’s the official greeting of bellhops at hotels. Yeah. And that’s when Leon just handed you his suitcase, and asked you to… I coulda stolen his guitar, did not do it. “Take it right upstairs.” You’re goin’ first? No, you’re goin’ first ’cause you won! Oh, crap! No, I did win. No, no. Yeah, Rhett goes first. Yeah, you’re goin’ first. No. Yeah, he won the 2019 part one of this episode. And I won because I think this is difficult to use any sort of inference. Well, ya know what? Because Taco Bell just spreads itself around, you never know what you’re gonna get anywhere. Maybe they’re just doing this right now, in America. In America? In the United States. A triple stack? A deep-dish Mexican pizza. But you do agree with me that this is a precarious packaging thing that they would screw up. Now, this looks like one that the “Mythical Kitchen” made, it doesn’t look like one they went and got it at Taco Bell. It’s too good. Right. So maybe it’s not the US, ’cause wouldn’t they just go get it? That’s good reasoning, Mr. McLaughlin. Yes. Thank you, boy. What do I call you? Bellhop? Dr. Bellhop? Okay. Whatever you’d like to call me, Mr. McLaughlin. I have no idea. Exactly. I doubt there’s a Taco Bell in the Falkland Islands. There’s gotta be one in New Zealand, but it feels like- There’s a chance. Where’s a place that they’ll do a little bit extra? I wanna say Japan, but there’s no interesting flavors! Nope. So I think they did this in Spain. I think they did it in Spain. And I mean, it’s also the middle of the board, which now, ya know, I can’t go for like a New Zealand, that would be crazy. You could! What if it’s the right answer? I think this is to the west of your dart. M’kay. No indication otherwise. Maybe this is Costa Rica, Brazil. It could be United States just a little bit. Keepin’ it competitive. Okay. Don’t want things to get away from me. That’s nice. You just had taco pizza, the Mexican pizza’s big brother. It’s a triple layer of tostadas, nacho cheese sauce, seasoned ground beef, and it’s topped with melted cheese, salsa, and tomatoes. It’s discontinued, but you could find it at Taco Bells in Spain. Ooh! You nailed it! And I didn’t letcha get away from me. I think you may actually be closer to Espana. Uh-huh. Rhett, you had seven; Link, four. Yes, I’ll take it. I’ll take it. I don’t have any cash on me, yeah. No, it wasn’t… Yeah, thank you. Ooh. Here, grab a side. This looks like it’s got cinnamon- Oh, it’s hot. It’s hot, it’s too hot. It’s too hot. It’s too hot? It looks like a apple turnover kinda. Hopefully, it’s got cheese in it. Like, it’s like a cheese blintze. You know about a blintze? Yeah. Jessie makes a blintze. She doesn’t do it anymore though. What is comin’ outta that? Ooh. Whew, it’s hot! Whew, whew, whew! Oh! It came out and hurt me. It’s a apple one, man. Yeah. I have to go with my fork here. Ooh! Is it hot? You can’t touch it with your hand, why did you put it in your mouth? You gotta get things movin’! Show must go on. Whoa! It’s still hot! I think my mouth is tougher than my hands. Mm-hmm. Is that unusual? Would you like me to blow on it for you? Good God! Okay, while you’re struggling, I’ll also let ya know that there is quite a lot at stake. I’m gonna have to sue you. Because the loser of today’s game has to dip their toes in Doritos dust, become a Doritos Locos Tac-toes. Oh, yikes. And that doesn’t sound fun. Tac-toes. Yikes! Yikes! Okay, Link, you’re up now. So they tried to take a McDonald’s apple pie thing, and Taco Bell-ize it somewhere else. If it wasn’t so hot, it’d be incredible. Boy, that’s inventive! Could be Japan, they will invent. If it had cheese in it, I would’ve been thinkin’ Belgium. It has a pastry-like quality, but I think Japan is comin’ in hot! I burned my pinky. Yeah. Where are you burned? All 10 fingers. Roof of your mouth? Lips. Gums. Anus. Stomach. Esophagus. Japan is callin’ to me. They just like to go for it. It’s big too. That’s a biggun. Japan is a long way over there. Should I change my answer? I’m gonna hold back just a little bit. Oh, come on. Just a little bit. Whaa-bam! Oh, not that much! I didn’t mean to do that, but that’s okay. What are you thinkin’? Scrunchie face? These are always really hard because they’re not informed by anything. Like when we eat just like, the dish of this country- Right, there’s not any- There’s flavors and- They’re still usin’ what comes off the Taco Bell ingredient truck. Like the fact that that was Spain in the first round was a complete lucky guess, like. That’s good though. It’s so good. I mean, this would be a hit in America. Like, we would love this if it wasn’t so hot. Especially a lot more than those, um- We’d love it, ya know? What are those cinnamon and sugar crunchy things that are worthless? Oh, the twists, cinnamon twists. Those are so worthless. These are so much better than the twists. Bring this, get rid of that! Bring this! I feel like I would know about this if it was happenin’ here. Is it crazy enough for Japan? I think Japan is the next best guess. Is it crazy enough for it? I feel like I’ve got to go between you and Japan to make up some ground, but not completely fall further into a pit. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Of despair, where your self-worth is now defined by losing to me. Oh. That was not that much closer to anything except New Zealand and India, I guess. You just had an apple chimichanga, a warm apple filling, wrapped in a golden cinnamon-sugar dusted tortilla that you can find at Taco Bells in… New Zealand. Ooh! New Zealand? That low throw helped me out! New Zealand? You got lucky, son- Helped me out! ‘Cause man, I went to New Zealand, I didn’t eat at a Taco Bell. Yeah, I wouldn’t do such a thing. Why would I? Both great, great throws. But Link, you had 52; and Rhett, 33. What, did you just make that up? Yeah, yeah. No. No, I just… It sounded like he just made it up, but I’m gonna take it. You wanna get the pin of the month? Well, ya gotta get it today- Hmm. And today only, at mythical.com. It’s the Turkeytrice. Oh. If the cockatrice were a turkey. If the cockatrice were a turkey, and not a chicken. Or whatever it is. Whatever it is. Whatever he is. The turkey was almost the bird of America. Mythical.com, get it right here. Well, get it and then have it, and it’ll be like that. Whew! Oh, that is an egg! It is an egg! The shell is an egg? The shell is an egg! And we’ve got- The shell is an egg. Hash browns, cheese, bacon! Oh my gosh! It’s just egg white, isn’t it? No, there’s yolk. It’s not too hot! It’s got that goin’ for it! Whoa, there’s the yolk. These are like somethin’ I could come up with. It seems obvious, right? Hmm. Now, contrary to popular belief, Taco Bell should not serve breakfast. Why? I’m just repeating the results of the survey. I’ve never had breakfast at Taco Bell. There was a survey? No. Have you ever had breakfast at Taco Bell? No. ‘Cause of the survey. Right. Um, maybe some people have it. Does anybody eat their breakfast, or do they just say they have it but they don’t actually serve it because no one eats it? Right, they say they have it, but they don’t really have it. That’s what it is. But in this other country, boy, they have it, and they’ve done a decent thing, that if it wasn’t for this metal thing, it would just be a flat piece of egg with stuff on top of it. This is a chance taken! They take chances In Japan. This is a taco, only when held together by something else. And is that really a taco at all? If the shell doesn’t hold the stuff without you holding the shell- These are the questions. Well, what about like a street taco? Is that even a taco? A soft taco? Not a taco. Yeah, like an LA taco. Soft taco, not a taco. Not a taco, you heard it here. Hmm. When you have to hold it together to keep it’s shape- Put that on the survey! That is not a taco. Okay- And I’ve believed that for approximately 90 seconds. I feel like this is Japan because it’s inventive, it’s takin’ chances left and right. I feel like when they did the breakfast in America, which I don’t know if they still do, or if it was ever a real thing. It could have just been a fake thing, like Link said. I don’t remember this bein’ part of it. I’m up by 16… Now, go all the way over now. No, 14. 16? 16. If you believe in that answer, go all the way over. You still have a cheat code. Yup. It’s up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, B, A, Start. Select, Start. I’m gonna go strong into Japan. And if I blow the whole game here, so be it. Ooh-wee! Is it Japan? They’re not addin’ anything that wouldn’t be in just a normal breakfast anywhere in the world. What am I gonna do, should I use my advantage? I’m 16 centimeters behind- Well done. I am not going to use it. Really? Um, South Africa. Brazil? Costa Rica? Nobody’s as fun as Japan. Takin’ something that won’t even work as a shell, and then usin’ it? Yeah, it’s Japan. So now I’m gonna get closer to Japan. Hold on, you’re that easily convinced? You’re that easily convinced? I was convinced by my own rationale. Okay, alright. Nothin’ you said. I see nowhere else. Matter of fact, that’s a ugly map. Taco Bell should not go into makin’ maps ’cause I would not buy that map if they were sellin’ it. They didn’t. That’s a ugly map. What don’t you like about it? It’s purple, it’s beautiful. It’s ugly. It’s ugly. Japan. I’m gettin’ closer to Japan. Don’t miss the whole board though. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! You just had a nekkid egg taco. Nekkid? Naked. But I accidentally said nekkid. Which is a breakfast taco, where the tortilla’s been replaced by an egg. It’s discontinued in- Osaka. The United States. No! What? We had this? They never ever made one! Yeah. They put it on a poster. It’s a myth. They put it in the window. It’s a myth! Nobody ordered it! Did anyone have this? Never made! Did anyone have this? Nobody is raising their hands. Did anyone see it? It’s a lie! It’s a lie. I’m sorry, boys, but I’m still having a Baja Blast. Rhett, you had 69. Hey! Ah! And Link, you had 68. Ah, I beat you. Ooh! Yeah, by one. Ooh, watch out! Okay, this is a mystery round. No country labeled on the the map. Okay. This is a little donut covered in chocolate, with a surprise in the middle. What is the surprise? I’m gonna find the surprise with my mouth. I’m gonna find the surprise with my fingers. Is that snow in there? It’s a snowball, Rhett. It’s like cake. It’s so moist. It’s a cake ball. Ooh, it’s great. I know that the “Mythical Kitchen” made this because I don’t think they could make somethin’ this good. Well, we don’t order this stuff from around the world, we replicate it here. I know, but I’m just sayin’. Sometimes, you can be lulled into thinkin’ that they went to a Taco Bell. What Rhett’s sayin’ is that this is so good, Taco Bell could never make it. It’s so moist. It’s a cake pop without the stick, with somethin’ in the middle. What is that in the middle? I’m gonna isolate it. Chocolate. It’s just chocolate, man. It’s good though. I believe it’s just chocolate. And it’s not too hot. I mean, y’all really nailed it. After that one hot round, we’re gonna be feelin’ that for weeks. We sent notes to the kitchen. You are winning, so you have to go first. And I’m warnin’ you, I’m gonna use my advantage dart. So I have to like make a strong, strong guess because you’re gonna have a splatter like they’ve never seen before. And what is my advantage? The gordidart is comin’ back. And so wherever the sauce lands- Oh, that is a saucy gordita. Yes. And look at that, I’ve got… Oh, extra saucy now. So I have to assume that you’re gonna get a zero. That’s right, Rhett, I am gonna get a zero. I have to assume you’re gonna get a zero. And in this game, a zero’s great. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Look at that. The bellboy has put plastic down. Look at that! Look at that. Do you prefer boy or hop? Whatever you prefer, Mr. McLaughlin. Look at that. I’ll hop for you. Look at that. He doesn’t have any cash on him either. Do you need anything else while I’m here? When I say bellhop, he says, “How high?” Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. That was stupid, I admit it. I liked it. Okay. This’ll be nice. From a statistical standpoint- As an after-dinner- Aperitif? Yup. A little sweet thing to eat after dinner. Well, that’s what it was for us. I guess a dessert is what I’m thinkin’ about. It’s the last thing I’m gonna eat. I guess that would be a nice dessert. Statistically speaking, these usually come from Asia or Europe, just because there’s more countries over there. It’s just, to me- You know how South America loves their cake pops. To me, what it screams is this is something they’re doing in the US in general, like donuts with chocolate, and chocolate covered. Because Taco Bell’s from the US, let’s do it here in? Somewhere in Asia. “Somewhere in Asia.” So I’m only 15 ahead, I gotta be pretty close. I do think South Korea is a great guess, but I think that if I basically get somewhere between Indonesia and South Korea, I have a chance here. I have a chance. Oh, that was a little bit too low, but maybe it’s okay! I got some ground to make up here. I like where he’s landed. Yeah, I didn’t get close enough to Korea. I’m gonna have to take this off. Would you like some assistance? Yes, yes, yes. I don’t have any cash on me though. We do have your credit card on file, if you’d like to just tip digitally? Oh, I wasn’t sayin’ for that reason, but- Oh. Oh, no, yeah, of course. Just so you don’t rob me. I feel like you’re gonna rob me. What time is checkout? Noon. That’s nice. Oh, that’s nice, I’m gonna sleep for a little bit. I think this is a South American Taco Bell donut. But this thing, I mean, I’m keepin’ it in this so that all of the stuff can fly that direction. The paper will be like a shield to direct it. And I’m gonna give it a nice little whip so that it goes across the whole board. I’ve actually gotten pretty good at usin’ the advantage darts. You have, yeah. Because I’ve had so many. Mm-hmm. So I’mma try to get a little bit over there, where Rhett is, but then also get to South America. Whoops, that came up short! And are you dirty? No, I’m good. Wow. ‘Cause look, it really went… It slid off of the paper. Wow, you went high and right. Boy, can you pick up my paper? Oh, of course, yes. The paper’s back here. Well, the good news is- And I shouldn’t have done it on the paper. But look, Link, you have splatters in South America. Yes. You have splatters on every continent. I did great. My boy has splattered on every continent! I actually did great, even though I didn’t do what I wanted to do. Wow. That was awesome, I think. Okay! You just had a chocoball, a dessert filled with chocolate and cream that you can find at Taco Bells in Portugal. Oh, ya did it. Ooh, that’s not in South America. I should have gone to Europe, that would’ve done it. Ya gotta choose Europe or Asia every time! Yeah- I made the wrong choice! ♪ I’m feelin’ like a winner today ♪ Oh, hey, you have a splatter in Portugal, I can see it from here. Link, you have a splatter in Portugal, which I can see here. And Rhett, you had 45. Oof. Ooh, get those toes ready, Rhett. Yeah! We’re gonna put ’em in Dorito dust. Right now? No, in “Good Mythical More.” Okay. But I mean, that happens in like a second from now, so. So get ready anyway, take your sock off. Thanks for commentin’ and sharin’ this video. You know what time it is.
