What mystery snack is hiding in our vending machine? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. When most people describe snacks, they just use the same old boring words like salty, crunchy, sweet, blah. We like to go deeper. Yeah. Much deeper. Yeah. Would that snack pull somebody out of a coma? Huh? Would these hurt really bad to step on? Yeah. We get to the bottom of a snack's very existence, solely defined where it's hiding in a vending machine. It's time for Vendor Reveal Party. All right, fellas. Rhett, you have a mystery snack in your lunch box, which we will look at in a second. Oh. But first, if there's any Mythical Beasts that would like to play along, this is your time to look away. Look away. Look away. Look away. Look away. That's, it means you, too. Oh. Yeah, Link, you have to play along. You said, "Look away," as you looked at the box. Okay, here is the snack. I'm gonna make some noise so you can't hear the packaging. I'm making some noise- I'm not even using my ears ... so you can't hear the packaging. Oh no, this song is not copyrighted except by me. I'm not even using my ears. Don't come after me, YouTube, don't come after me. Mm. Hear away. Oh, okay, back. Hear away. Look away. It's in there. All right, Link and Mythical Beasts, you can look. Hear away. Link. Link, you can look. Hear away. Link. And I'm looking now. You, you can look way now. There you go. Okay. All right. There's also a hidden mystery bag in the machine that might be helpful or not. Uh, more on that- Ooh, I hope it's helpful ... when you select it. And last time you only got one round correct, so you had to eat the ghost pepper popcorn as a punishment. If you lose today, you'll meet a similar spicy fate. Oh, God. So Link, you can now ask your first yes or no question. Okay. Um, Rhett, you're riding on the bus. I'm driving the bus. No, you're not. Okay, I'm just riding the bus. Okay, fine. You're driving the bus. Okay. You're driving- I, I am driving the bus. You're driving the bus, that's fine. Four on the floor. And you're wearing headphones. You're listening to some good music, and- You can't do that, first of all. That's against the rules. I know. That's why you're about to get fired. Rebel. Not only are you about to get fired, you've also sat on the snack that's in your box. Uh-huh. And you've, you've waggled around- Oh ... a little bit on it- Yes. 'cause you're jamming along with this music, not knowing you're about to get fired. When you get up at the end of your shift, would you still want to eat this snack after butt-jamming it for a shift? Let me just point out, this is an excellent question. Thank you. But let me also point out, and maybe this will be informative to you, that- I know you don't like buses. The... It would not ruin the snack, but it would transform it in a way... It would transform it significantly. But it would not- ruin it and I don't think it would drastically change the experience of eating it. I mean, these two snacks at number 10, I would hate to sit on those guys. Or would I? That's just a joke. That's our picture. No one laughed. Everyone laughed out of sympathy. Just then, I guess. I d- I can't see it, so I don't know what to laugh at. I said it was a picture of me and you. Um- The Mythical Beasts at home laughed. Yeah. 12, that's totally fine. 14, it's, it's, it's changed beyond, uh, enjoyment. 16's a little tougher, but I think it's, I think you're gonna, your butt's gonna grind it to a point where you just don't You said it would be transformed, but you would still enjoy it. 30, what even is that? That's such a ... I'm just getting rid of that because it's such a dumb snack. Well, that's, does- doesn't it seem like a good reason? But okay. I'm just angry that it exists. I do not wanna eat 36 after sitting on it. I do not wanna eat 40 after grinding it with my butt. I don't know about 41. It depends on how much he grinds. Yeah. It could just be in the crack. Then it's okay. I'm gonna leave it. Next question. Uh, if I were to slingshot this snack, or if the snack has many different pieces, only one piece. So if I were to slingshot one unit of this snack- Understood ... at your, at your upper back. Upper back? Yeah, it might hit you in the butt. It's gonna hit you in the back. Uh, from a distance of, like, across this room. 30 feet. Uh, would you b- be mad? Not in the least. Not in the least mad. So anything that's a projectile I gotta eliminate. I'm getting rid of 45 because that's a missile. What are those things in 50? It looks like it's soft, but it, it would hurt, and that would be hard. I'm getting rid of 50. Taking a little bit of a risk. Getting rid of it. Drop. If you were to decorate a lamp with this snack, as many as you need, would people think it was cool? Which people? People who, uh, you respect their, um, opinion of coolness. I think for a certain ... I, I, I think some people would be like, "Oh, that's cool. Uh, I see what you did there." And other people would be like ... No one would hate it. I don't think anyone would hate it. No one would hate it. I definitely like 12 because it just looks cool. 16 is, is really cool. 20, I just don't think that's cool, but yeah, I wouldn't hate it. God. The way that you're answering these. Well, it's so subjective, man. 24 would be pretty awesome. You're at... 34 would be awesome. This is what you call triple subjective. 20... 41 would be- There's- ... awesome. The way you feel about it, the way I feel about it, and then the way that I feel that a group of people would feel about it. We are three layers deep of subjectivity. Yeah. This is hard, man. I, I think I need to be more specific. Uh, I think this is more of, if you took a survey in Walmart, do you, do you think my lamp is cool? Yeah. Well, I'm not eliminating anything. S- okay, so that was not the best question. Maybe, I don't know. I don't know what's still there. Yeah. How many things are still there? I mean, there's... I can't... The t- the one that I wanna eliminate is 44. I don't think that would be... Like, y- yeah, it's food on a lamp, but the food that it is, I mean, why would that be on a lamp? That's stupid. That's not cool by, with anybody. Is your snack bouba or kiki? This snack is as bouba as I can imagine a snack being. That's helpful. All right. So I'ma start down here. We did it. I w- We won, unless you eliminated it in the first round. It's the most bouba, so all right, 56 is so kiki. Uh, 20- I'm afraid to find out what that is ... is, well, they're round. But I, but the, but the, what happens in your mouth makes it kiki for me. Kinky? Kiki. Okay. If, and it's definitely not the most bouba. 12 is bouba. 16 is on the fence. 24, no way, that's kiki. I think kiki could also mean kinda crunchy. Hey, Link, you just got a mystery bag. Oh, God, I need some help. Okay, so your advantage for this round is, Link, you can hear the packaging crinkle. So why don't you turn around. Right. Rhett, you can take the packaging out and you can crinkle it. Oh, this seems like- Yes, please ... a really good advantage. And do I need to be like, "Blab, blab, blab, blab, blab"? No, 'cause you're listening. I w- I want you to hear it. But who w- who else would it be for? Okay. I just don't wanna screw up this episode. Okay. Here we go, ready? All right. Okay. It's in the box again. All right. It's a, it felt like a bag, but I also got a sense of size, that it was a bigger bag. 34 is too small of a bag. 43 don't sound like that. 41, oh, my gosh, boy, b- I needed that. So that was a good one. Yes. That was a good one. All right. The most bouba of all. See, this is round. And ringy. I have one more question. One more. I don't know if it matters based on the way you're talking. This is not the most bouba ever, so I'm getting rid of 16. So I'm down to these two. Oh, gosh, I think you ... It would be so obvious. You must have already gotten rid of it. Both of these are bouba in very different ways. Ugh. Um, if you, if you put this snack in your mouth and then the cops burst in, and for some reason this is, th- it, it was illegal, and you also had a, um, a problem with your throat and you couldn't swallow, would you go to jail? If I was given a list of all snacks to have on, in my mouth in this scenario, this is the one that I would choose. I am ready to guess. I know that it ... What do I do, eliminate? Yeah, okay, Link, you can dispense the snack you think is the correct answer. Okay. I am positive that this is such a bouba snack. All right, I want you guys to get ready. Don't show it to Rhett yet. Uh-huh. Reveal your snack to each other in three, two, one. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And I didn't even have to do anything about the Dr. Pepper nature of it. This is, like- Look ... a doubly horrible snack for me. Look, be the cops. Uh, excuse me, sir. Yeah? Do, do not swallow. Do not swallow. Oh, okay. I'm, I'm- Open, open your mouth. Oh, what? What's that on your tongue? Link, please take a look at your snack. And once again, Mythical Beasts who wanna play along, and Rhett, who's already doing it, 'cause you understand how the game works- Yep ... look away now. Look, look, look away. Look, look, look away. Look, look, look away. Sing a song to yourself. Don't look at this. Sing a song to yourself so you don't hear a thing. Look at it if you wanna look at it. And it's closed. All right, Rhett, you can ask your questions. I didn't... Hold on. I, I didn't look at it. Okay. Oh. Okay, never mind. That's part of it. You memorize what it is. That's part of it. Okay, got it. Got it. It's a late night. We're having a slumber party. Wow. We're kids. Okay, good. We don't do that anymore. Usually. And, uh, we're playing truth or dare. It's your turn, and I say, "Link, I dare you to put 12 of these in your mouth." Do you choose truth or do you take the dare? 12 of these? 12 of these. I mean... Isn't that supposed to be a yes or no question? It's a n- Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The answer is yes. Yes. The answer is yes to what? You would go truth? No, I would go dare. You would go dare. You would accept the dare Yeah. I have too much to hide. You need to factor that in. Okay. This would be difficult. I'm gonna take a chance and get rid of that, 'cause you gotta get rid of something. You could not easily do that. But could I do it? No. If you know what that is, there's no way you would've said yes. Yes, you could do that. Easy, easy. What is that? That doesn't even... Whoa, I didn't even think about that. That would be interesting. No way. I'm just getting rid of the ones that there's absolutely no way you can do. Okay. All right. All right. Um- I see some big snacks in there. Okay, there's no way you could get that in. Ha, ha, ha. Huh? Ha. Oh, no. We got a problem. We got a problem. This one's not coming out. This one's not coming out. This... It is really stuck in there. Let me see. Come on. Come on, you Alaskan salmon jerky, get out of there. Okay, that one was not coming out. Okay. Well, you know what? I guess I'll just have to go get it myself. What? What are you doing here? Somebody had to film it. What am I doing here? It's been so long since I left, I... What am I looking for? Salmon jerky. Oh, salmon jerky. This is Alaska. What are you doing here? Somebody's gotta film it. What are you doing here? Somebody had to film it. Co-op Market. I hope they're cooperative. It's cold out here. That was fast. Yeah, I stole it. Come on. Seriously? Yeah. I don't have Alaskan money. What? I don't have Alaskan money. A dollar? Oh, yeah. This is a mirror. Woo. Oh, I'm so glad to be back in America. Yes. Oh. It's so much warmer here. Oh. Okay. So you went all the way to Alaska just to do that? Yeah, and so did you. And by the way, if you want to know more about our Alaskan trip, we're gonna give you all of the details in Good Mythical More. We did even more than just get the salmon jerky. Yeah, we did. Okay. Ooh, I got a good one for you. Me and you, we go on a little camping trip. Okay. We are deep in the heart of Montana, and we get famished, and the little camp food that we have put together has grown stale. Not actually, but conceptually. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we go to a convenience store. Deep Montana. Okay. Would we expect this snack to be on offer in a run-of-the-mill convenience store in deep Montana? No, it wouldn't be there. Okay. Definitely not 12. 14, on the fence, but probably could be there. Uh, ha- You're put, you're eliminating things that are there, right? You said that it ... You, you ... Hold on. You said, what did you say? I said ... What did I ask you? I said it's def- I said it's definitely not there. It's definitely not there, so I should not have eliminated that one. But you know what? Chances are that wasn't it. Yeah, why don't you eliminate things that are there, buddy? Okay. Things that ... That one's definitely not there, and you knew it immediately. Did I just screw the pooch? Did I just screw the proverbial pooch- Yeah ... in deep Montana? We cannot yet reveal if you've screwed- Oh, gosh ... the pooch. Okay. If he did, I was watching, which makes it worse. This is definitely there. 14 is probably there. You know that 22 is there. You know that 30 is there. Not surprised that 32 would be there. 34 would not be there. 36 would not be there. I feel like you would have had to think about 40, so I'm gonna get rid of it. 41 would definitely be there. He's putting in work. 44. Oh, gosh, I mu- I thought I was gonna have to go ... I thought I was gonna have to go to the Central Valley. Yeah, you get it? The Central Valley. Uh. Is it, like, almonds? Close. That would definit- 50 would definitely be there. And I think 56 would definitely be there. That was a good one. Unless I screwed the pooch. And 56 is our mystery bag. Oh, yeah. So here's your advantage. For the remainder of the round, all questions and answers must be delivered to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. That's not an advantage, Chase. Yeah, that's in quotes, uh, on my s- on my paper. Question then. Uh, also, if it helps you, you could do, uh, the alphabet song instead. That doesn't help. Oh, my God, it's the same thing. If we were on a fishing trip, a fishing trip in the ocean. And I found a way to use this snack as a sort of bait, would it be something that fish would like to eat so we could catch them and put them on the boat? Ah. At first I was like, "Yes, absolutely, I would fish with this snack." But then I started to think about it a little bit more, and I realized that maybe there's a problem with time. What if I found a way to crumble the snack and put it inside of a little plastic pod that then I put on a hook so it wouldn't just disintegrate when we put it in the ocean, and then fish started to come up, up and sniff it, and they said, "That's something that we wanna eat." That sounds like a second question to me. You know what I'm saying. I under... Structurally, not great, but, um- I can't answer. It's not gonna help me at all if I don't get the answer to that second question. It's not gonna help me at all if I don't know about the, the- Yes, it will, because I was conflicted, and that's information. Okay. Man, two of the things would be great bait. There's no way that this would be, 34 would be good bait. And I think you would've had to think about, I think you would have to think about 20, and then if you thought about it and you thought it was good bait, when you thought about the form factor, you would then conclude, "Oh, this is still good bait." Getting rid of 20. Or am I? Or am I? Or am I? Use any of those that you want. Okay, I've got it down to two, brother. Okay. Also, Rhett, I'm gonna say that last time you kinda asked two questions, so you only have one more. Oh. This is your last question. Chase, where we're going, I only need one question. We're on our camping trip. We're in the yurt. We're on our camping trip. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you, Chase. We are on our camping trip. It, it's night one. We're still in the yurt. I reach into our big bag. I pull out this little snack. I put it down in my place right here. And walk out and say, "Hey, look, this is Link's." Would that be a good joke? I could see why you would think that was a good joke, but it w- Wasn't for me. Okay. Okay. It wasn't for you, but... Well, that means that I'm gonna get rid of, what number is that one? I'm gonna get rid of 54. And as you know- Feeling good ... the salmon jerky, uh- But- ... it is just, uh, it's just where it is. Just not, just not part of it. Okay. This is my choice right here. Vend the snack that you think the answer is. Okay. All right, and then get ready to reveal to each other in three, two, one. Yeah! We are so good at this. Let, let's high five slap. Uh. Hey, look, I'm Link. Hey, we're in a yurt. Give me that. Here we go. Hey, look. Hey. Ugh. Ugh. Oh, wow. Oh, God. Ugh. Hey, we, we own this game. That's right, you avoided the spicy snack, but we have one more round to see if you can get a little bonus prize. My wiener tastes bad. Oh, God. Do you know what's going on over on the Mythical Kitchen channel? Well, if you don't, what are you thinking? Go over there and check it out. Yes, they have Last Meals, but they have a lot of other fun stuff that they do. Uh- Like what? ... most recently they did 100 years of Disney food. Pretty cool, Mythical Kitchen channel. Yeah. All right. We've already won, Chase. Yes. You did already win, so for this round I want you to guess the snack I'm thinking of. You only have two questions total. After each question, you'll vend only the snack you think is the right answer. Okay. And if you can guess it correctly, you will win one more photo. Oh. A handsome photo in the machine. Okay. Oh. What is this Bob Ross flavor palette? What is that? Was that in yours? Yeah, it was on mine. I don't know. It looks like you could paint with it, though. Oh, also, uh, I'm gonna tell the Mythical Beasts what the right- Ooh, flavor ... answer is. Oh. Via a lower third. So, uh, Mythical Beasts, if you wanna play along, look away. Look away. At least from the bottom portion of the screen. I wouldn't look away this round. It's gonna be too short. Yeah, do what you want. Live your life. Uh, this is my round. No short jokes. Oh. All right, Chase, tall boy. Yeah. Thank you. You're, um, you're on the Santa Monica Pier. Ooh, sunny day. Yes. And, um- You walk past- you're eating a snack ... you e- uh, you're eating this snack. You walk past a caricature artist, and you say, "What the H? I'm gonna do it today. I always walk past this guy, and I never let him draw me, but today I'm gonna let him draw me." And you're eating the snack. Uh-huh. The artist draws, like, it says, says, like what it sounds like. An action bubble, well a sound bubble. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Does that sound bubble say crunch? Crunch. Exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point. Or no exclamation points, just crunch. Crunch. No exclamation points. Just says crunch. The caricature artist doesn't usually write in things, but yes, in this case, I think he definitely would write crunch. Oh. Great. That wasn't a great question because- ... that would crunch, that would crunch, that would crunch, that would crunch, that would crunch, that would crunch, that would crunch, that would crunch, and that would crunch. W- so there's a lot of crunchy things. If, if he had said no, we'd be in business, but you said yes. I'm actually feeling the PopCorners. What are you thinking? Well, I mean, that would crunch. Were you, were you feeling anything? 'Cause I think I'm gonna go with 24. Well, the thing I was feeling is 32, just because I'm so interested in it as a snack. You want to... I think- I want to eat it, but maybe we can work that out anyway. I think that's why I picked 24, I want to eat that. You want to eat PopCorners? I- All right, we'll go with 32 because I- No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no I'd rather eat the... I, I mean, it's peanut butter. We can eat what we want. Thir- 32, peanut butter boys are getting drawn in. It's got crunch. Are we right? No. Ah, dang it. What, what are these shiitake chips? Those are weird. I think we might have to do a basic versus non-basic breakdown and hope we get lucky. Or like a sweet versus salty. Well, the, the 40 is, is- How about just something like if you broke this out and ate this snack, would you seem interesting? Yeah. W- would it, would it, would the caption below the character say interesting? Interesting. Uh... He's having to think about it. He's having to think about it. I am... I don't know how interested the caricature artist would be in the snack, unless he was- ... paying attention. It's not wasabi cashews. Unless he was paying attention. I, I think it's PopCorners. Like a- I, unless he was, like, reading scripture Unless he was paying attention to the ad, like the specifics. Yeah, PopCorners are never fried. You have to really pay attention to be like, "Oh, that's interesting." Okay. Well, let's just rule out some things. I'm telling you, it, uh, it's PopCorners, dude. It's definitely not Goldfish. It's definitely not Cheetos. Wasabi he would've said immediately. It's definitely not Doritos. He would've definitely said mango rings chili lime. I think he would be like- Interesting ... interesting. He wouldn't say it about that. It's that. It's... That's it. I'm telling you. Oh, you might be right. I'm telling you. I've already pressed the two. What about bacon brittle, though? I'm about to hit the four. Do it. Oh, now you waited too long, now you've hit the four. Oh, crap. Okay. So we gotta clear it out. We gotta give it some time, reset the stuff. Have I waited long enough to now hit the two? I hope. Two, four. Yes. You- Is it PopCorners? ... are being drawn with PopCorners. You guys are doing so good this episode. And you got it right. Oh! I was right. You felt it the first time. I felt it. You should've gone with it. You need to start listening to me more. I did. As soon as I said 30, I was like, "No, go with 24." You said, "No, I wanna eat 32." I know. Here, let's eat it. I do wanna hear this. A celebration. Thanks for commenting and sharing this video.
