Which of these discontinued
snacks should be brought back?
Let's talk about that.
Good Mythical Morning.
We are about to eat some discontinued
snacks, but first, this portion of today's
episode is sponsored by AG1, the daily
health drink that combines your multivitamin,
pre and probiotics, superfoods and
antioxidants into one simple green scoop.
Now, this is a very busy time
of the year for both of us.
Oh, yeah.
Um, I got the kids on spring break.
I'm, uh, I'm, we have some projects.
Yep.
That we're working on.
Um, kids are on spring break.
I, I'm pretty busy.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I'm pretty busy.
Well, uh, I took one of those confetti
cannons that the crew loves to use on this
show whenever something amazing happens.
Yeah.
And I was like, I, you know what?
I should take this home and I
should surprise my family with it.
Or when, you know, when dad does
something awesome, I should break it out.
And I got excited and I, and I exploded
it prematurely, and no one was even there.
Oh.
And, uh, I've just been slowly,
I mean, cleaning up by myself.
A couple pieces, uh, every day.
A little bit in the morning,
a little bit in the night.
And the kids are on spring break.
He's so busy.
He's so busy doing that.
I was wondering why, why you've been so busy.
When life gets busier, energy
support becomes even more important,
and that's where AG1 comes in.

this portion of today's episode.
And, welcome back to Discontinued Snacks.
Yeah, we really miss buying really
old snacks off of eBay and then
tasting them, hoping we don't poison
ourselves, and then deciding whether or
not we should bring said snacks back.
But maybe the nostalgia's
getting the best of us.
Do we really need to be eating old food
delivered by strangers to our door?
Mm. By the end of this episode,
we will have our answer.
It's time for To Be Discontinued.
Imagine this, it's 2022.
We've survived the worst of the
pandemic, which means people
are spitting in public again.
Yes.
So of course, Little Caesars partnered
with Bigs Sunflower Seeds and made
a pepperoni pizza flavor so that,
because you can spit in public.
Mm-hmm.
This really, uh, slipped under my radar.
Did not see this.
It is no longer being made,
but we have it right here.
And it is my understanding that
these expire in three days?
Yes.
So we ju, so they're discontinued, but
they're the only thing we'll be tasting
today that is not officially expired.
So enjoy it, Link.
We're gonna s, we're gonna see if
it's still, if, if we can, if we
can taste the impending expiration.
They're very orange.
I mean, I don't really think of
orange when I think of pizza.
But it is the color of Little Caesars.
We also paid $1.99 for these, which
for like $3 more, we could have
just got a Little Caesars pizza.
Right.
Is it strong?
It has the pizza flavor.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Pizza, pizza flavor.
Wasn't that for, that was for spitting.
Oh, it was?
Mm-hmm.
Oh.
Uh oh.
Well, use your trash can for spitting.
Mm-hmm.
Trash can for spitting, this is for looking.
I'm just concentrating on spitting
out the part I don't want to eat.
I just, this has never been my thing.
But, if I were a teacher and if I, uh,
and my kids did something and I was like,
if you guys do this thing that I'm asking
you to do, I'm gonna give you a pizza
party, which is what makes a teacher cool.
Yeah, it does.
And they did not meet the goal.
Instead of pizza, I would bring them these.
Oh man, that's salty too.
You just get yourself a nice big
old cheek full of it, and then
you can drive down the road.
This is, if you're taking a long trip,
and you don't wanna stop for pizza.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, you just shove another one of
these salty little creatures in your
mouth and spit it out the window.
Ah, look at me.
I'm on a road trip.
There's so many different
flavors of sunflower seeds.
We don't need this as a world.
Do we really need a Little Caesars version?
The soc, society does not need, um.
So, you know what crew,
feel free to enjoy these.
You got three days.
I could not taste that
they were about to expire.
No.
Not a bit of Boggs in them.
To their credit.
I think they can make it
another, another three months.
But we just don't care enough.
So Little Caesar Sunflower Seeds,
Nah, that's whack.
The 1960s sci-fi craze didn't
stop at comics and movies.
It also entered the
candy market.
Yes, apparently Chex made this
candy called Flying Saucers.
But it's not Chex.
This is a different Chex.
This is the Chex before Chex was Chex.
No mix involved at all.
Now, I wanna be very careful with this
because I can get the, this is the candy.
That is scary looking.
I've gotta get the candy out.
I mean, this thing has
been sealed for 50 years.
Once you eat the candy, then you
can fold this thing up into a flying
saucer or a plane of some sort.
Dropping.
Dropping.
UFO turds.
Space dookie.
Space dookie deploy.
Oh one.
Let's, let's leave our excrement
on this green and blue planet.
This is candy.
This was candy.
Oblong, strange shapes.
Okay, that's really, oh boy,
it's really tight in there.
Of wafer stickiness.
This is supposed to be a breath sweetener.
There's not a Boggs.
There's no smell at all.
I mean.
All smell that this had,
has been lost to time.
It's so old at Camp Boggs.
Of course, we still have our Boggs Milk
Chocolate Bar that we can open and smell and
make sure that the Boggs still has Boggs.
Oh, yeah.
Still Boggs.
Oh oh, it's, Boggs has updated.
Boggs has changed.
It's a little better, isn't it?
It's.
Is Boggs getting better too?
Uh oh.
Boggs has more of a, we've gone
away from discontinued snacks to the
point where Boggs didn't even Boggs.
It's, you know, he's still Boggsing,
but it's there's an earthiness.
Yeah.
It's, I think it's actually worse.
It he is, he is becoming what he was before.
Yes.
Which is, from dust to dust, but
it still stinks and this doesn't,
so I feel like you can eat it.
At some point, candy just becomes wood.
Do you know what I mean?
Like it just becomes something that.
Yeah.
You can stick your tongue on.
'cause of science.
There's a lot of things that you can
stick your tongue on and be okay.
And I think old food is one of them, because
eventually it's not food anymore, right?
He listens.
Oh, it's, it's sweet and refreshing still.
I mean, it's been in this air
tight spaceship this whole time.
What, would we expect any less?
Oh, I, I bit it, and it didn't pop.
Ooh.
It just kind of smushed.
It's starting to have a taste,
but it is the taste of corkboard.
You know what I mean?
Mm-hmm.
Why is my spit bloody?
Just kidding.
It's not.
Just kidding.
Uh, can you hand me a penny
and some scissors and a tape?
Of course.
I always have a penny,
scissors, and tape on hand.
There are instructions on this about
all the things that you can do with it.
Tape a penny.
There's not enough packaging now
that turns into a flying object.
Because everybody's worried about
hitting somebody with something.
So you gotta put, you gotta put the.
Liabilities.
Extra weight of the penny on the front.
Take your time.
We don't worry, we don't
worry about liabilities.
Look at that.
Oh, there you go.
He's already got the side there.
You know what, I'm going, I'm going more
slowly now that you're, you're talking crap.
Oh, nice.
All right.
So just see if you can, uh, get
it to go in the fan right there.
Okay.
It, it dove down a little bit quick.
It might be because there's
still a thing in there.
Yeah, you've got too much stuff in there.
Fun in the sixties.
Oh.
See that?
A little 3D action.
Did you wince?
Did you flinch?
Um, so we just have that, now that you've
done that, it's making me rethink everything.
'cause it was so fun to watch, um.
I really like the design and I
like, that's really all I like.
But what are we saying to bring.
The design.
Them back?
I. What are these?
I think these need to come back
because I really like, I just really
like that you can play with it.
I mean, they made the planet
Earth look like it's an atom.
Like it's got like, protons on the outside.
That was the thing that they did.
Just kind of like going all around it.
Yeah, they didn't understand anything.
All right, so.
These didn't taste good, but I
bet they could if they were new.
That's right.
If they were recontinued.
Yeah, 'cause we know how to do that.
So we're gonna say flying saucers candy.
I think I'm choking on it.
Bring It Back.
The seventies were a
period of wild innovation.
Lava lamps, mood rings, pet
rocks, and Gorilla Milk.
Yes.
We have acquired what everybody
wants and that is a vintage package
of strawberry Gorilla Milk that
we paid $130 for, off of eBay.
Oh my God.
Created by Pillsbury.
It's an instant breakfast
that you can eat cold or hot.
Let's look at the ad here.
The ad has a bunch more gorilla
on it than the one that we bought.
No gorilla on the one we bought at all.
Why is the tagline a balanced
protein breakfast for swingers?
Oh.
Hey man, just because you're mixing
it up doesn't mean you, you don't
need to have instant breakfast.
Right.
After a wild night of sex with
your neighbors, maybe you don't
have time for a full breakfast.
Uh, there's no way that this
is about swingers, that, the
way that we understand it.
This is if you're swinging around on
the trees and jungle gym, et cetera.
I feel, I feel bad for opening this thing.
Well, it's only 10 cents.
Even though, I have a glass
here, I could mix it in.
I'm gonna pour it in here so
we can see what color it is.
Tear open.
I mean, just think about, this
thing has been sealed from the
manufacturer after all these years.
Somebody's just been pristinely
holding onto it for decades.
Mm-hmm.
To sell it to some unwinning fools
on the internet, who are just gonna.
Yes.
It's like, well, we're gonna
open it and really taste it.
I mean, we, oh, yeah.
Whoa, you see that little pop.
That's a good sign.
That's a good sign.
It's a good sign.
Oh my gosh.
That's not the color of strawberry.
Why does it look like, what
the uh, pizza flavored.
Yeah.
Sunflower seeds were mixed up in.
Pizza flavoring.
Now be careful with this because,
save a little bit, 'cause we might be
able to go to the zoo and artificially
inseminate a female gorilla.
That's how they did it.
Yeah.
Yes.
Hey, any, anything we can do to help.
Actually it, um, Rhett you
got it exactly opposite.
If, if you can look anatomically, you
can tell this is a gorilla diva cup.
Oh God.
Hey, listen man.
I already, I already, I
already crossed the line.
You already crossed the line.
I, well smella that and you'll get
back across the line real quick.
Uh.
Yeah.
I can't say I know what
that's supposed to smell like.
Gorilla soil.
I, I have no idea what the intention was.
All right, well.
Why does it not sink.
It floats.
Why?
Why can, it has no ability
to mix with the milk.
The milk doesn't wanna have
anything to do with this.
Look.
Hold on.
Is this fake milk?
Is this prop milk?
It's thick milk, man.
It's thick milk for the old people.
Hold on, that's cr, that's crazy.
God, hold on.
It's turned solid at the top.
Look.
Oh, and it's flat.
That is cool.
What is happening?
Dip your spoon in.
This is just a new way to make milk.
Put your spoon in there,
make, make sure I'm not crazy.
When in Rome, like the gorillas do.
I can't, I can't get through it.
Oh my goodness.
I pushed a bunch of it down.
Yeah, you pushed like a disc of it down.
It's turning into something
that might be tasteable.
It's actually becoming pink now.
Oh, thanks for that.
Thanks for the, oh.
Hmm.
But why is it called Gorilla Milk?
Because it makes you strong
and uh, gorilla's strong.
Yes, okay.
Okay, so now I'm gonna pour this into there.
You did, you did a great
job with that, by the way.
And then, see that right there.
All of that, just nobody, nobody
knew about the mess I made.
Even though it's still here.
Mm-hmm.
My intention is for it to
not be here eventually.
So is.
But for now.
It was just powder and
powder can't be that bad.
Powder can't hurt you.
Right, again.
And the, and the way that,
and the reasoning that we.
Just do a little taste and spit,
do a little taste and spit.
And if you don't like it, you know what?
There's other options.
You know, tomorrow night, somebody
different, I mean, another different drink.
Right, yeah.
Can I what?
There's four different flavors.
If I stick my tongue in this
first, will you then partake?
Why don't you stick it on your tongue
versus sticking your tongue in it?
I don't have a dropper.
I, I didn't bring my dropper.
Uh, just use that.
Just take a little.
Okay.
But, because the answer's no.
If I see your tongue.
Okay, I got it.
Go down into that.
Bring in the other glass.
Then no, I'm not go, I'm not going.
Bring in the other glass
and that'll be the catcher.
So put that down there.
Okay.
This is.
And I'm gonna do this, and then
I'm gonna drip onto my tongue.
Okay.
Just in case.
There's no way I can get hurt doing this.
Science, this is the science.
Yeah.
Carney's just oohing your tongue being out.
What's wrong with his tongue?
It's pink.
Oh.
It's reminiscent of something.
It's reminiscent of something.
Oh, you just gonna drink it?
Now, it is burning a little bit.
Ooh.
Ooh, ooh.
It is very granular.
Ay.
Oh, what is it reminiscent of?
Um.
I don't know.
I can't find it, I can't place it.
You know?
You know how if you leave a car out for
a long time and then the paint starts to
turn into powder and then you lick it?
I've never, yeah, well, no.
I don't know about that.
It, yeah, it's like if you,
it is like licking a jalopy.
That's exactly what you're thinking about.
But I'm gonna say some things here and, uh.
Say 'em, dude.
We have, uh, an ability to taste
something like this that is from many
years ago before we were born, and we
can taste it, just, I can taste just a
couple of drops on my exposed tongue and
come to the conclusion about what this
would've tasted like in its in its prime.
And you would've loved it.
But it would've just, let's just
be honest, it would've just been
basically Carnation Instant Breakfast.
Yes.
Yep.
That's for swingers.
That's what it would've been.
And we weren't swingers.
And swinger, and Carnation is.
Still not.
Huge in the swingers community.
Mm-hmm.
No, that's pineapples.
Okay.
Well, they can like more than one thing.
Okay, yeah.
That's the whole point.
They like more than one thing.
Yeah, they don't.
They don't.
You can't pin 'em down.
So you're making an argument
that this should be brought back?
I'm saying the best way to decompress
in the morning, in the awkward
morning after a night of swinging
is with Carnation Instant Breakfast.
That's really the lesson here.
But it should be Gorilla Milk.
It sh, yes.
Okay, got it.
No, no.
Actually it shouldn't be
because it is Carnation.
Oh, already exists.
The market's too crowded.
Right.
Gorilla Milk?
Nah, that's whack.
Alert, we got a new pin of the month.
Woo.
It's the Let's Hop About
That pin of the month.
It's us as little frogs or toads,
or maybe a combination of both.
Well, we're on lily pot, lily
pads, so that may mean we're frogs.
Okay.
But maybe one of us could be a toad.
I don't know.
We'll have to see.
I, um, of course you can only get this today.
Go to Mythical.com and order it today.
It's the only way to get it
unless you are a subscriber to
our pin of the month subscription,
so that you don't miss the 24
hour windows that we make for
each of these pins every month.
Yes.
So you can sign up for the whole shebang
subscription also at Mythical.com.
Get 'em.
They're so cute.
Now, let's go back to 1993.
Alright.
When Keebler said, forget cookies.
We're making tortilla chips.
But we're gonna make 'em taste like cookies.
Yeah.
These are Chacho's flour tortilla
chips in the cinnamon Crispaña flavor.
Crispaña is not a real word.
Crispaña was invented by the elves.
Those elves, they've got a real
problem with work life balance.
They're, when they're not
working, they're working.
You know what I'm saying?
Because they live in the tree.
They live in the tree, they live,
it's, it's a work live space.
Oh.
And so they're there in the tree.
They're working during the day,
making things, and then at night,
instead of relaxing, they're
coming up with new Spanish words.
And there's nothing we can do to fi,
to stop 'em because we can't find them.
Can we show the, um, commercial?
No, we can't.
Why?
Why is that?
We can't show the commercial.
Is it because it, is it,
is it not appropriate?
Uh, well, the elves got into the computer.
You know how they do.
Oh, okay.
What I'm talking about, elves, you know.
Oh, Boggs.
But we got Boggs, we finally got some Boggs.
Let me, let me.
Oh, be care, don't, don't, don't go deep.
No.
You're not gonna need to.
Oh.
I told you.
Whoa.
It is so strong.
Now, I'm not gonna comment on the fact that.
Uh, the head elf there on the
back is wearing a sombrero.
Uh, it was 1993.
Right.
And he was, I mean, he did invent Crispaña.
So, I mean, maybe that gives him the
right, I don't know how it works.
Um.
So it, we're gonna have to dig
really, really deep to figure out what
these would've tasted like in 1993.
I really do like the packaging, like.
I love that roof.
I, the fact that you've got the Keebler
on a bag is just so strange to me.
They also released another
thing called Suncheros, which
is, uh, another type of chip.
But boy, these, this is so
strong smelling, this is.
Got that terracotta roof.
You know, may maybe, oh, you know what?
Maybe that's where they go to make
these, they don't stay in the tree.
Maybe I was wrong about my
assumptions I made about them.
They had a cheesy quesadilla flavor,
and a restaurant style original, but
my stomach's hurting from smelling.
Yeah, man.
This is Boggs for real.
This has got deep Boggs.
Soft.
Oh, I wasn't even gonna do that.
In fact, I was gonna say, when one encounters
something that has this much Boggs.
Oh yeah.
With this many points, one should take the
point of your tongue and make contact with
the point of the tortilla, speaking of 1993.
Could've said all that earlier,
before I actually ate it.
Go ahead and taste it.
I know what you're gonna say.
It's the same thing that I'm about to
say, which is we could still sell these
as is if we just call 'em old churro.
Oh.
Old churro, dude.
When you get just to the taste you can get.
Yes.
Hmm.
It's like bad churro.
But you don't.
Chacho Boggs.
But you don't really taste Boggs.
I'm against any chip with
anything sweet on it.
But you like churros?
I love churros, but I hate bad churros.
And I don't want to have a
churro experience on a chip.
Nobody's doing this and
no one needs to do it.
Cinnamon twists.
I'm telling you, nobody needs to do it.
Have we brought anything back?
Yes.
Yeah, you brought back the, uh.
Don't worry.
We brought something back.
Flying, flying saucers.
Okay.
You see.
So Keeblers Chacho's Cinnamon
Crispaña Tortilla Chips.
Nah, that's whack.
Now I know we do some amazing things on
this show and amaze you with our, our
ability sometimes, like for instance.
Sometimes.
The ability to taste something from the
past and then use mouth math to project it.
To the present to know what it would taste
like now in order to properly judge it.
Right.
And you might say to yourself, how do
you do that so accurately every time?
Well, that's because, every once
in a while, we hone this skill.
We practice it by taking something old and
tasting it, and something new and tasting it.
And we're gonna do that right now.
A little, we're letting you into the process.
Yeah.
Pulling back the curtain.
So you got some blindfolds there.
Lifting the skirt, so to speak.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is what we do.
As you can see, we can't.
And so we've got Cheeto Puffs from, uh, 1983.
Not Puffs, though.
Puffs came out in 1971.
From 1983.
And the crunchy Cheetos came
out, uh, much earlier in
1948.
1948. So, one of these is from 1983.
One of them is from present day, 1981, 83.
83. 83, and today, which is 2026.
Okay.
And how much did we pay for 'em?
We have no idea which one is which.
We paid, uh, 39.99 for the 1983 ones.
I don't know what the going price of...
$40. We have no idea which one is which.
Uh, okay.
Yeah, we have no idea.
All right.
Why don't you try the
ones on Link's side first?
Yeah, okay.
I'm happy to do that.
Oh, hold on.
Don't, we can't be confident about
eating these 'cause you never
know, that could be the balance.
Hmm.
These have held up so well.
Yeah.
If they're from 1983, they're great.
Whoa.
It's miraculous.
Hmm, man.
They're so good and cheesy, crunchy.
Now.
I have a headache.
What?
Ooh, they're softer.
Oh, yeah they are.
They're, they're almost like human fingers.
Oh God.
The Boggs is just ripe, boy.
This is a whole year before we met, man.
I think, to be fair, you should have a few
of these, just like you had a few from bowl.
Yeah, right.
Oh.
Okay, Chase.
Are, are you, what did you do?
Did you.
I faked him out.
Did he?
Is that what he did?
I faked him out.
Yeah, he thought I ate one.
Wait, you didn't eat it?
We need to lick daddy this thing, I think.
Man.
We gotta, we gotta figure something out.
Donkey lip it.
What color are they?
'cause we can't see.
Uh, Cheetos color.
Okay.
So they held up color-wise.
One of, uh, I mean this might be the,
the 2026 one still, so you gotta taste
it and then we're gonna do a 3, 2, 1.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, you're exactly true.
Okay.
Oh, uh.
Aah.
Just a little on the.
Okay.
All right, let's hold your hands
over the 1983 Cheetos in 3.
Hold on.
Let me.
You need a second to think.
I, I'm wiping my tongue.
You know, if you leave your jalopy out
in the parking lot with the windows
rolled down for, I'd say about 20 years.
And that upholstery, that vinyls just
starts to flake and then you lick it.
Uhhuh.
That's what it's like.
It seems like something you might want to do.
As much as you talk about it.
I like to lick jalopy.
Let's go to the 1983 Cheeto, a
hand over 1983 Cheetos in 3, 2, 1.
Uh, gotta be these.
Oh yeah.
Going out on a limb.
Lemme see.
Link is correct.
Oh, you are, you're so wrong.
They look so normal though.
They don't look that bad.
I think these should come back because I
just, I simply like the packaging better.
I'd like the retro packaging to come back.
This is before Che, Chester though.
Yeah, they, he needs to, he
needs to go on sabbatical.
He's on a skateboard for God's sakes.
Like, he doesn't need to be on a skateboard.
Okay.
He needs to grow up.
Send him away for a year or
two, we're gonna have this.
So that's why I'm saying 1983
Cheetos, bring back the packaging.
And also.
How are these so good?
We need to decide if we're
gonna bring back this format.
You know, discontinued snacks.
Well, what is your stomach telling you?
I'm kind of burying my
grief in a pile of cheetos.
I mean, now I'm happy that
we're ending on these.
Well, you know what?
Maybe we let y'all decide.
Yeah, that'll work.
Why?
Why don't we just say on
Reddit while we're at it.
I won't go there.
We'd be fine.
Decide on Reddit if we should
keep doing this or not.
Thanks for commenting and sharing this video.
You know what the time it is.
Hi, I'm Theo.
And I'm Yohanda.
And we are in Norway, about to try
9-year-old matcha flavored Kit Kats.
And it's time to spin

It'll be fine.
Yeah.
It'll be fine.
Just go.
We believe in you.
Just, just, just lick it and
then, you know, spit it out.
And in the meantime, don't forget to
come back tomorrow for a very special
episode, We Give Vasectomies Together.
That's right.
We've already gotten 'em.
Now we're giving them.
Yeah, and we're not trained yet.
