Now, did you know that the first ever vending machine was invented in the first century AD as a way for ancient temples to dispense. Tipples? Temples. Temples. To dispense holy water, and that is a true fact. Holy water dispensers. Yes. But which brand of holy water tastes the holiest? Just kidding. We're playing the vending machine game. It's time for Vendor Reveal Party. Okay, boys. Link, you have a mystery snack in your lunchbox, but before we find out what that snack is, Mythical Beasts, If you want to play along at home, look away right now. Open that box and show us your snack, sir. Ooh, I'm making lots of noise so I don't make any noise with a snack. Yeah. This is the snack. I'm holding it up and, you're looking at it if you wanted to know the answer. But if you don't, then I'm putting it away. And now you can look. Okay. And play along. Last time you lost both of the first two rounds, I don't mean to rub it in. Bull crap. But you were able to save yourself from punishment by guessing the round three snack in just one single question. And for that impressive feat. I know. You also added a third photo to the machine, so your odds have gotten even better. There's a hidden mystery bag in the machine that might be helpful or not so helpful. I'll tell you more about it when you find it. And if you lose today, you'll have to eat a super spicy snack. Now, Rhett, go ahead and ask your friend your first yes or no question to see if you can identify his sneaky snack. Friend, I'm open to questions. Uh, let's say I was cosplaying as a snake and I was very motivated, like I was at a con. Uh huh. And I wanted to really show my snake abilities very well. And so everything I ate that weekend, I was swallowing whole. Get it. Yes. Alright, you were committed And I was committed. Could I swallow this thing whole as a snake. And you don't have any actual snake abilities? No, I still, no, I'm still a man. You still have a Rhett throat. I'm still a man with a Rhett throat. I, no, not this one. Okay. See? Okay, Rhett, remember. You are eliminating the snacks you feel aren't Link's hidden snack. Yeah. Remember that. What's in there could not be snaked by snake Rhett. Definitely I could get one at them down. Definitely. I can get one of them down. Uh, yeah, I can get one of those down. Definitely. And don't be overconfident. You can't un eliminate something. Last thing. I can get that down. Kind of begs the question, when's the last time you choked on something? It's later in the year after the, the, the same year that I've cosplayed as a snake. Okay. Okay. And that and my snake. You're over that? My snake. No, I'm not over it. It was so successful that I have decided to once again dress up as the snake for Halloween. I'm just one man dressed as a snake. Swallowing stuff? Slithering around the neighborhood by himself. Trick or treating. Mm-hmm. Okay, if I go up to someone's house and they are giving out this thing, the thing that is in your lunch box? Yeah. Would the neighborhood kids consider it a good house? Ah. Well, you're having to think about it. That tells me a lot. I think 20% of the kids surveyed might say yes. What percentage would say definitely no. Then 80% would be like not a cool house. Okay, got it. They would describe it in a different way that wouldn't be uncool, but I don't want to tell you how they would describe it, 'cause that'd be too much of a hint. Okay. Well, they're definitely not giving away this because that would be a cool house. I mean, we know that all day. It is interesting, the crossover between things that Rhett snake can swallow and things that would make a house cool for Halloween. It's almost a circle, that Venn diagram. So you're not eliminating anything else. I eliminated one very obvious thing. Uh, you know what? Nothing else is cool. This would be cool. To give away at Halloween. This would be cool. Nervous. If while I was trick or treating, I made friend with another, made friends with another dad. Made friend. Made friend. It is one friend. It is one. It is one friend. That's why I said it. That's how we should say it. I made friend with one dad. I made friend today. And then, uh. I, and then he was really into, uh, hiking, you know, those. Uhhuh. And we went hiking and we got to the top of the mountain and we had, we all had a little packs, like you had your fanny pack. I had like a little backpack. He had another kind of pack. And then we started taking out snacks that we brought. Uhhuh. Okay. If we then got back into the car together to drive home. And we started talking about our experience. Would the snack that he chose to eat on the hike be a subject of our conversation on the drive home, or would it not enter our consciousness? Is he still in the car or is he gone? He's gone. Oh, me and you. He drove himself. Oh yeah. Yeah, we'd have to talk. We'd have to talk about this. We carpooled. Yeah. Oh, we would have to talk about it. Yeah. Oh, we would have to talk about it. We would have to talk about it. Well it ain't that. We wouldn't talk about that. We wouldn't talk. You have found the mystery bag of love. Okay. So before. I've seen those in hotels. Oh, like what is in this bag of, of hotel love. Yeah. Uhhuh. Before addressing your friend, you must tell him that you love him. What? Every time. Forever. For the rest of this round. I'm having trouble with that. Oh yeah. Let's see. Let's see how easy it is for you. I love you and I just got rid of, uh, one of the snacks that was very obvious. I love you. That was kind of quick. Um, I love you for being so definitive about knowing that we would talk about this 'cause we wouldn't talk about this because that's like what. We would, we would certainly talk about these. We would talk about these. It'd be the first thing we said. We may even, you would probably even say something to him in the moment. I love you. But we can't do that. Uh, I think we would talk about, we wouldn't talk about this. We would definitely wouldn't talk about this because it's so expected. Oh, that was interesting. Boom. Uh, we talk about that. I don't think we would talk about this. Okay. You remember that song? I Want Candy. Yeah. Don't sing it. Don't love that song. I don't either. Would this be a good theme song to use in a commercial for this product? My, my knee jerk answer is absolutely not. Okay, well, it's not these as much as I wanted it to be those, they literally have that in the name. Let's say we go back to the 1600s. Alright. Um. Don't expect me to know anything. And uh, is that when the Salem Witch trials were the ones that you wanted to. Oh, you're doing that again. You wanted to go to and. Yeah. Maybe help drown the witches? Uh, that's not. I mean, he said it. I didn't say it. My intent. I didn't say it. And the, and this item was out like a, like a, like a, a little, uh, peasant boy came up and he was eating this and he, and, and he had them or it in his hands outside of the packaging, 'cause of course he wouldn't have packaging because packaging of this sort wasn't a thing. No. Part A of the question is, uh, would you do a double take. And be like, well that's unexpected for the 1600s to see that in this little peasant boy's hand. And then the second thing is, is if we were then going to a witch drowning because just for entertainment purposes, uh, and we, the only reason we didn't interfere is because we didn't wanna upset the space time continuum. It's not because we have like a very specific point of view on this. We do, we don't believe in witches. And we believe, um, that. I believe in witches. I mean, I believe in good witch, witches are good. Like I believe in good witches. Come on man. Come on, dude. And I just don't think we should be drowning women in general to figure out whether or not they're witches. But let's just say we were there for entertainment purposes and the peasant boy out of excitement because he was like, he hates witches. He's cheering, he drops his candy, his his, uh, his, uh, food into the river next to the witch. Does it immediately just float on the surface or does it sink with the witch? And also. I love you. So would, so part A. All you had to do is say, would it, will it float? No. Would you be surprised to see a peasant boy from the 1600s? I'll answer that one. No. Ha ha. Yes. And I'm not answering the second question because it seems illegal. Will it float? Okay. Well, you wouldn't see him doing this. If this was at the house, 20% of kids would say. It's a good house. Cool house. Cool house. Most kids wouldn't think so. If we were on a hiking trip with my new friend and. Have to talk about it. This, we would talk about it. You would have to talk about. And you were like, immediately we would talk about it. Yeah. And if a kid at the Salem witch trials was eating it unpackaged, I probably wouldn't blink an eye. Now, I know you wouldn't blink an eye if he was eating this because that looks like something that would've been made from that time. But I don't know if you're thinking about the color of this, but I do think if a guy in a on a hike broke this thing out, we would talk about it. No doubt. Oh gosh, this is not easy because if you're just imagining this is its thing in the natural form. Yeah, a little boy holding that is no big problem. I know what Stevie's about to say. I love you, but. No, we need an answer. I think this thing is red and I just don't think I'm, I'm getting rid of it. I'm getting rid of it and I'm. Okay. This is the thing I'm choosing. We're down, dispense the thing that you're choosing. Okay. Okay, don't look at each other. Don't look at each other. Link, you have your snack. Oh. You're gonna reveal your snacks to each other. Yeah. In 3, 2, 1. Gosh. Big pickle. Gosh. The big pickle. Look at the other one that I, look at the other one, I narrowed it down to. The big pickle. So what. It's red. You said. Well, the, it's a pickle. Is it red? Yeah, it's a little peasant boy with a red pickle. I think he'd be like, where'd that little peasant boy get that red pickle? Is it? I forgot that it was red. I, I was thinking this is a hot pickle. I mean, I'm just assuming it's a red pickle. If this is red, it's on you. But I mean. What? Uh, it's pretty red. It's pretty red, man. I mean, that's a red pickle. You'd be like, where'd that little peasant boy get that. Look at those witches. You know what I'm saying? But if he had this. Yeah, it's pretty red. If he, if he had this, you'd be like, oh, that's just a little boy with a little pie. Yeah, that. I mean, but I'll also say if you guys wanted to slam a man for eating a pastry on a hike, that's also pretty judgmental. I, I mean this was a Rhett and Link double, I think. I forgot that it was red, I'll be honest. Uh, but I don't know. I think if a man ain't this on a hike, we would talk about it. See him pull out that full Danish? I am opening my lunchbox and revealing what's inside and I don't want it to make any noise that my friend might hear, so I'm not going to let there be any gaps in what I say and I'm singing in a mid range tone to cover up the most noise. Okay, it's in the box. That was a wonderful chant. Thank you. All right. You're giving an important business presentation and you. I've been there, done that. In your favorite tight dress shirt. Favorite type dress shirt. Tight. Tight dress shirt. It's form fitting. I was like, what's my favorite type of dress shirt? And you, uh, had placed this unwrapped snack in your breast pocket. So. Whoops. And I'm saying it's one, it's not, if it's a bag, you're not dumping the bag in there. If you're picking one unit. It's a, a thing. One unit of the thing. On a scale of one to 10, how awkward is it making your presentation? It's a, it's a, it's a tight knit boardroom. People are pretty close. Hey, hey, hey, hey. I know it's been a while. I told you that I love you, but that's a great question, I love you. It's a great question that's not a yes or no question. Oh, on a scale of yes or no, oh, would it be awkward? Yeah, yeah, yeah. On a, on a one, but one to 10 if you feel like Yes, it would be awkward. Yes. It would be awkward. Yeah. It would be Ed McMahon level awkward. Yes. If you remember that. I well hope you do. I'm gonna start down here at 50. One of those is not gonna be awkward, so I'm getting rid of it. I mean, that's a tight shirt, like. That's a lot of things that will be awkward. You can see your nipple, right? Yeah. If it wasn't for the breast pocket, if there was no breast pocket, you'd see your nipple. Uh, yeah. But instead you're seeing this snack. Hmm. Maybe where your nipple is. That's what I've been thinking. Yes. That's what I've been thinking. 40, hmm, hmm. You might just think it's really cold in there, so I'm getting rid of that. That 41, that long strip. I gotta keep that 42. I'm worried. That's not a problem, that that's just like a, not even cold nipple. 14 is fine, 12 is weird, but it would just be like, okay, his nipples in a knot. I just don't think that's a resounding. But wouldn't it be weird if I, if, if you can see something that looks like a. It's overdue. Different type of nipple. It's over. I've removed everything I wanna remove. Okay, good, good. Hopefully you didn't remove the thing that I have. Your mom got a new shag carpet? There's a back. Yeah, okay. And she, she says to you, Rhett, if you mess up this carpet, I'm going to ground you. Pretty good impression. So, this is back in time? Back in time. And you spilled this and then stepped on it. Would you be grounded? Because you're definitely pleading your case. You're saying you're sorry all that junk you used to do. I don't think I would be grounded. You don't think you'd be grounded? I'm getting rid of 44. You step on that and you're in a mess. 32. That's a nightmare if you step on it with a hot shoe. I'm assuming these are hot shoes. I didn't tell you that. Um. Okay. Now I'm on the fence about 45. Everything else could be vacuumed. Am I feeling confident? Never ask yourself that question. I'll, I'm gonna wait on 45, but it's definitely teetering. If a toddler tasted this for the first time, what would be their facial reaction? Hmm. So I make a yes or no face. Would it be a positive or negative reaction? But I would like to see it just, you know, not to gimme information, just to like, you know, fully embody the toddler. I think the average toddler would be, I think this is probably what they would do. I think they would go like. Second taste, third taste, inquisitive. Well, I'm getting rid of 30 'cause a toddler gonna love 30. I mean they're smaller. I'm getting rid of 43. 'cause that's sweet. And even if they just gnawed on it. I was on, I was teetering with 45 and now I know I can get rid of that 'cause they would like it. Oh boy. I'm getting close. Now down here. Okay. Okay. Yes. Well, this is something that toddlers are fed. I'm getting rid of that. Oh, toddlers are currently fed it? I think so. Yeah, doesn't think, okay. Let's just assume that that one's gone. Okay. Well, if we're assuming that one's gone, it's also the mystery bag of this round and it's a mystery advantage bag. Yes. Rhett, you may reveal one color that is not featured in the snacks packaging. I'll take that and I'll love you for it. One color that's not in there. Blue. Are you serious? Dude, nothing up here has blue. Well, neither does this. That didn't help me any. Well, I mean, I'm not seeing what you're seeing. I mean, there's not even a little blue. How is that even possible? Name some of the colors you're seeing, I mean. Who, no, no. Every other color but blue. No blue. No blue is what my dad would call Nobu. Y'all going to no blue tonight? If this snack were a college course, would it be graduate level? So if this, if there were, um, courses that were taught about snacks. No. If this snack were the name of the course, would you assume that it was a graduate level course as opposed to like, you know, first year? I definitely would not think that this was a graduate class. However, I will say. Okay, I'm getting rid of 41. Sometimes in academia graduate classes get very specific because they're using this as a way into discussing another subject, and they can get a little bit cuter with the names of their college classes. Mm-hmm. Because there's like four people taking the class and they're all getting their PhD. Right. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. But if you're talking about the essence of this snack, this snack, I don't even think this, this is community college. Oh. And nothing against community college. You've never been against community college. Never been against it. And you're not bringing that back up. In fact, it's a great way to go and show everyone what you're capable of so you can go to a four year school. Okay, so I'm getting rid of 41. It's a great way, it's a great method. This is a sophisticated snack. And what is education these days anyway, other than just a big hole of debt. I'm also getting rid of 34 because I don't. We don't look at where you went to school here at Mythical. I feel like I need to study that to know what it is. Like we don't, I like, we don't, we literally don't care. Okay? This is where it all comes together. We got this. If you had to choose, you've got an eye injury, it's unsightly. If you had to choose this snack as an eye patch, would it be effective. Definitively no. Definitively no. Okay, well then I gotta get rid of this because as crinkly as it is, I think it, it would work as an eye patch. These next two wouldn't but definitively no. Well, they're both, they both definitively wouldn't work, but I'd say 20 even more if I'm choosing what these two, 20 definitively, definitively wouldn't. But I don't, can't see what you've got. I mean. I'm just looking at my thing and answering the question. I'm getting rid of 22 and my answer remains. Okay, dispense the final snack. Come on, let's do this. Okay. Look at each other. Okay. Reveal your snacks in 3, 2, 1. Funyuns. Yes. Yes. We did it. We did it. Look at us. Look at us. Horrible eye patch. They're glasses. Horrible. They're the opposite of patches, glasses. We did it. We got a Mythical Outdoor Blanket. You see that? And you can unfurl and put in the woods and have a nice little picnic. It's got a, it's got a back on it. That's a little padded. Boy, look at that, it is nice and fun and big, and you gotta be a third degree member of the Mythical society to get it. It's the quarterly collectible item.

Okay, for this round, you're both going to be guessing the snack I'm thinking of, but you can only ask me two questions total. And after each question, you can make a guess by dispensing a snack, and if you can guess the correct snack. You'll win one more photo in the machine and avoid eating the spicy snack. Mythical Beasts who want to play along, look away from the screen now and we'll make noise so you can't hear the sound of it making noise. Noise, even though it's just a picture. On the screen. And we're back. I didn't have to turn around. Okay, you're, Stevie, you're throwing a par party. A snack party. A snack table. At a support group. Oh, for people who are allergic? No. People who don't have teeth. People who don't, so, oh. Could be old people. Could be really, really young people. Anti denture. Could be people who just lost their. Toothless people support. People who just got gums. Snack party. It's a gum only support group, and you're responsible for the snacks that night. And you only brought one snack. One snack. And your question is, would, would this be, would this qualify? This be well received, or would this not well received? Would your friend that you were filling in for would. Would you serve this or no? Whoa, what? What were you thinking? Would you serve it or not? Well, you're asking two different questions. Would you serve it or not? This would be a great snack to have for that group of people. Okay. Well it ain't, I mean, if you put a flavor flavor in hot Cheeto in somebody's mouth, yeah. That ain't, well you, it does, does soften up after a while. It kind of melts, but. I mean, roasted seaweed snacks, boy, that'd be good. 'cause you don't need to chew those at all. I would though. You could get a wild blueberry muffin down with just gums. Well, there is gum down there, big league chew. You can't chew gum with gums. Just because they're the same thing doesn't mean you could do that. What? That's why it's called gum. No, it's not. She said this is perfect. Nilla wafers. That's perfect. 'cause you give those to babies without teeth, they. Oh, crap, okay so that's the candidate. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna say a gummy bear. Do those melt in your mouth if you don't chew? I've never not chewed a gummy bear. You have to chew through. You have to bite through a gummy bear. Yeah, you do. So it's not, I think it's the seaweed or the nilla. Let's go with nilla wafer. Okay. Stevie, is this it? Are you serving it? No, no. One more question. Okay. So now I, okay, so now we think it's either the seaweed or the big league. I have a good physical question that I think will help us circle back to use a business term, um, to the first question, it builds on the first question. You'll understand it in a moment. Don't answer it until I hear it. The same support group because you did such a good job with the snacks, invites you on a little excursion in a boat, and you get on the boat and then the boat begins to leak. And all you have is this snack and you can take it and chew it and soften it up. You can break it down and mix it. You don't have teeth. Chew it with your gums. Okay, you were saying that you can't do that. And um, would you be grateful that you had brought this snack because you might be able to plug a hole in your boat that's leaking. Plug. Am I accepting this question, link? What, what are you saying? So you're saying. So like gum, so you are would be, so if we're back to the gum. Okay. All right. So this is the, this is determine. 'cause gum's on the table. I'm, I'm for it. Yes. Gummies, gum would be good. Um, um, Candy Corn would be good. That boat is sinking. Okay. This boat is sinking, so seaweed. It's not gum. It's not, it's not gummies. Seaweed. I'm, I'm coming back to the muffins because I think those are perfect. 'cause they completely dissolve in your mouth and they would completely dissolve in a hole in your boat. You wanna go muffins? Yes. God, that was so hard. Yes. Yes, it sounds like we were right. It's the Altoids. Altoids. Where are Altoids. Oh. Oh. I didn't even see those. Oh, perfect. Perfect for people without teeth. 'cause you could suck on them. Exactly. It's like the most perfect thing in the whole thing. Oh man. It's hiding behind that. Okay. I know what we have to do. Yeah, you don't get your photo, you gotta eat the, the ghost pepper in the machine snack. What is it? It says ghost pepper in the machine and it is. It is Ghost Pepper Popcorn. Mm-hmm. Ghost Pepper Popcorn. Oh God. That tastes horrible. That's hot as hell. Woo. Oh. Oh man. Whatever happened to Funyuns? Ah, we are such losers. Ah. Y'all got any milk? Ah, thanks for commenting and sharing this video, ah. You know what time it is. Woo. Yep, that's hot. My name is Adria. This is my dog, Ru.
