We turned states into sandwiches. Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Imagine with me. Imagine the state of Florida- Hmm. … Made into a sandwich. Okay, I'm imagining oranges and key lime pie, and a shirtless man wearing alligator boots riding on a riding a lawnmower into a Walmart to steal various gummy foods. Okay. You know, Florida stuff. Yeah. O- open your eyes. You are in the right mindset because we are about to try some weird state sandwiches over a little game of baseball. It's time for State Sandwich Sluggers. All right, fellas. The ingredients inside each sandwich that you're about to taste represent one of the 50 states on the map over there. Mm-hmm. After you try a sandwich, you're gonna guess the state it represents, and the closer you get to the correct state, the further your players advance around the baseball diamond. Yeah. And if you get it right on the money, that's a home run. Oh, yeah. The person with the most runs at the end of the game wins another spot on the coveted Heavy Hitters helmet. Wow, you won last time, which was the first time we ever played this game. We're making some gentle- Gentle adjustments. … updates. And some gently- Microevolution, we call it. … microevolution. I'm ready to taste. The first sandwich is made up of the official state treat, the official state sweetener, and a food flavored with the official state herb. Herb? Ooh, okay. A food with the official state herb? Herb. And a sweetener. What kind of sweetener do you see in there? It's chewy. Chocolatey. 'Cause that's a- Marshmallowy. What is that? And, and this is a gum? Yeah, I think it is. It's, it's a minty, chewy stick, which I think might be gum. I'm trying to, like, chew and eat everything around the gum. And the Mythical Kitchen team says you shouldn't swallow gum 'cause it'll stay in there for seven years. Oh, good information. That's a lie, Chase. Hmm. What do you call that? Is this a, is this a moon pie? It's not a moon pie, 'cause a moon pie is, is harder on the outside. I don't know what you call it, but I don't think you call it that. I like it, except I don't like it when I'm chewing gum So I'm just gonna spit out the gum? But of what he said, where did the gum come in? 'Cause he said the State treat, which is this thing. He said- Sweetener … a sweetener, which I think is inside the bread. Oh, you do? A syrup of some kind. It's syrupy. Oh, it's on the plate. I don't recognize this marshmallow treat, and this gum is just very- An herb? very minty. Oh, a mint gum. Hmm. Well, you're up, buddy Rolex. Okay. Yeah, so Link, you lost last time, and that means you get the advantage of going first. But it was close. I do remember that. Mm-hmm. Okay. All right. I was looking for a dart. Honestly, I see a map and I'm looking for a dart, but this is baseball. It's different. Give me a bat. Some sort of mint. I know that the Wrigley twins lived in Sedona, Arizona. And if that's Wrigley's gum, I don't know what- But how… What does that have to do with- … that chocolate thing is … but what does that have to do with any of the things that you said? If, if, if we're wrong about the mint and it's just gum, I don't know. I'm just- Well, no, I think you got it. It's mint gum. It's mint. Where does mint grow in the United States? And what kind of mint is it? Is it spearmint? Is it peculiar mint? It's, it's still… I mean, do you feel like you have… You're sitting on something that you have- No. Yeah. This one- … this one's tough. No, my friend. This one's tough. Um, I'm not gonna say the South because I don't know what kind of sandwich that is, and that's where I'm from. Neither one of us knew it, so we're going away from that. Spearmint. Hmm. Maybe I'm right for the wrong reasons about Arizona. What's different? What's spearmint versus peppermint? But you're not growing a lot of mint in a desert reas- region. What's the reason? What's the reason for that? I am gonna go with… I'm going with Illinois, just out of pure guessage. There's something about this treat that feels like a Ohio thing, you know what I'm saying? Just, like, some kinda, like, cakey thing. But- I would ask you why, but I know you don't know. You know, 'cause it just feels like- Just vibes. Just vibes, yeah. We're just going on vibes. But I feel like the sweetener… Is it agave? I couldn't really taste the sweetener. It wasn't strong like syrup, and it wasn't syrup. So when you said Arizona, I was like, "Oh, does he also think this is agave?" I didn't. But you're right, there's no mint over there in that part of the country. I'm not gonna go all the way to Arizona, but I will go to New Mexico. Why not? All right. This sandwich represents Maine. Maine. So let's see what that means for your runners. I think that might be a strike for both of us. Strike out. Yeah, it looks like, Rhett, you've struck out, and Link, you've struck out. Yeah, and listen, last time we played this game- What a great inning … no strike outs. No strike outs, and we both started out with a strike out. And neither of you knew that a whoopie pie was a whoopie pie. Whoopie pie. Whoopie pie. Oh. I've heard of that. Or that that was- Pure … pure Maine maple syrup. Oh, it's maple s- Yes. Oh. Is that agave? And the state herb is wintergreen. Wintergreen. You really just couldn't identify anything. What's the difference between wintergreen and spearmint, really? The time of year? What's the difference between a rhino and a spearmint rhino? Van Nuys? Next up on the plate is a sandwich made of interesting foods all uniquely tied to the cultures of one particular state. Okay. The cultures? That's it. That's all you're giving us. How cultured of you. What? Mm-hmm. Oh, that's strong. Smell him, boy. What is that? What are these things? Oh, I think I know. Oh, God, that stinks in like a pickley kind of way. I'm afraid to taste it. Mm. I know what that is. Oh. Huh. It's like a bad candy. Is that edible? Ugh. I am pretty sure we've given you edible things. What is that? You're pretty sure? I mean, we asked for everything to be edible and the Mythical Kitchen team said everything was edible. And then this, this ringlet? That's all I got. Is that from a piece of seaweed? Like, a big seaweed? I mean, it just looks like a, a pickle with a hole in it. I mean, it's certainly pickled. Alright. The thing that it is. You're up again, Neal. Up to bat at the plate … is that, I mean, that's not a cucumber. Why would they, why would they take the middle out? Yeah, that's not a cucumber. You're right. Just the thought of you thinking that made Carney laugh. I know. The idea of cutting a hole in the cucumber for no reason made me laugh. Well, it, it, well, there might be cultural reasons. Yeah, there could be cultural reasons, Carney. You know? And there's no judgment there. Oh my God, this is just more bread. Oh, I s- you're just now getting to that. Fried bread and then some sort of, I mean, is this a… I think this might be an underwater vegetable. It's the strangest thing I've ever eaten. It's not great. It tastes like pine. I just wish I knew what this was. But it is your turn. I'm thinking. Oh. Okay. I mean, I don't know what- We're gonna have to put the pitch clock on you. These really stink. They're pickled, but they kinda stink, and you think it's something that's underwater there, too. All right, so I think he's thinking coastal. I'm also thinking coastal. So first place I'm going to is Falkland Islands, which are- They were annexed into America. Yes. But we just have to put that on every map. We're trying. We're trying. We have to put it on every map. That is not great. Fried bread, pickled nasty. Prickly nasty. God, man, baseball is a slow game. Yeah, it is. Well, but not when you edit it. Okay, I'm gonna say Hawaii. I don't know. This could be aquatic. It very much could be aquatic, but it could also be a succulent. This could be a cactus of some kind that's pickled. And this is very cactusy, and this is very fry bread-y. Hmm. So now I'm thinking, like, the, a western state. Like, I just feel like I'm going back to New Mexico again. Why am I going back to New Mexico? New Mexico for the win. No, this isn't the win. This sandwich represents Alaska. Oh. Oh, dang. I was- So let's see what that means for your runners. Oh, yes. Hawaii gets a single. For whatever reason, that means that Link, you hit a single. 'Cause you're out in the ocean. Because you went out in the ocean, you get a single. I will take it. He rounds first base. Oh, and then he has to go back to the bag because they've fielded it, or whatever they say. So, Chase, could you tell us what- Can you stretch out … what the vegetables are? The one that you said, did you say that tasted like a tree a little bit? That was- Yeah … spruce tips. Oh. And then in your other hand, the, uh, donut is kelp pickles. Oh, it is kelp. Yeah. Aquatic. Should've known. Yeah, kelp's used in a variety of different ways in, uh, Alaskan cuisine. Yes. Last round, we didn't eat the sandwich. We picked it apart. Oh, I- I feel like, I feel like we gotta just- I ate every bit of it … all at once. We gotta pick up the sandwich and we gotta eat it. No, you go first. And then we can see what's in there. Ugh. It's, it's not gonna be good. You, you happy with your, you happy with your decision here? I mean, I can take- So that one's got the state poison, the s- I'm just kidding. Uh, that's the state fruit, state squash, and state pepper inside that sandwich. Fruit, squash, and pepper. Huh, this is not bad. Seems like a grapefruit. Squash, green pepper. But state squash is a certain type of squash. And grapefruit. Is it a grapefruit? I wanna make sure. That is the least bitter grapefruit I've ever had, but I'm still thinking it's a, a ruby, a ruby grapefruit or whatever they call that. Okay, so now I go first. Yep. Hmm. Green pepper. Yeah, not bad at all, but I wouldn't recommend it. Okay, there's nothing specific about the squash that makes any sense to me. So I'm basically gonna have to go with s- the citrus of it all. I mean, where do they grow grapefruit besides Florida? I'm sure other places. Probably California. You definitely need water. We don't have that in California. It's not, it's not Florida because that would be an orange, which all the oranges in Florida are not doing well, by the way. Mm. And the peaches in Georgia are not doing well. Lots of things are not doing well, guys. So, so you're saying it's not Georgia? The state fruit of Georgia would be peaches, right? Didn't we learn that last time? I didn't learn anything last time. Some people learned how baseball works, but that wasn't me. You said the state fruit. I did say the state fruit. The state fruit? The state fruit is a grapefruit? Where have you seen grapefruits? In your travels, where have you seen a grapefruit? My nanny would always eat a grapefruit. With sugar on it. So, at her house. With salt on it, actually. I gotta think it's a southern state, and I think it's pr- in proximity to Florida. I'm gonna say Alabama. Ah. Alabama. Yeah, that's weird. C- That's weird. Thank you. But Florida, oranges; Georgia, peaches. South Carolina could also be oranges, but I don't think it's grapefruit. It's just not… We don't know that much about grapefruits, so it can't be that. I'm gonna go with Mississippi. Oh, right next door. Green peppers and whatever that is. All right. This sandwich represents Texas. Oh. Texas? You got it. So let's see what that means for your runners. Yes. Oh, and you're right on the line of just getting a single. Link- While I got the double … you got the double. Yes. All right, so you got runners on first and third now. I'll use this opportunity- Second and third 'cause you got a double. Right, second and third. I'll use this opportunity to explain the way we're doing this again. We're not just- And Rhett, you got a single. We're not just moving Link's guy that was on first all the way to home because we're making it where you have to be forced in in order to get runs. Mm-hmm. That's just the r- way we decided to do it. Sue us. Mm-hmm. Grapefruits in Texas. Yeah, apparently a lot. It's actually the Texas red grapefruit. Huh. That would've made it easier. This sandwich has a treat invented in the state and the official state snack. Uh- The official state snack must be Jell-O. Well, there's only one way to do it. Oh, there was another way, but… Well, I thought you said- Yeah. Yep … you wanted us to eat the sandwich. Oh, we, we need to just bite the sandwich, yeah. I mean, I gotta get to it somehow. The sound that made. It's like you were smooching it. It's, it's the official state snack and what? It's sandwiched as a treat invented in this state. A treat. It real, it real- Put it down? It's real nice It's real nice. Okay, we gotta go… Ew. Ew, what is that? I didn't quite get to that. You didn't even get to that? I tried. I tried. It went hard. Gross. Like, I was hoping it would be less gross looking over there. Take a bite. Oh, no. What is this? Let me smell. It's a treat. It's, it's fatty and nasty. Hey. Hey, what is that? I can't. I just- So you think that's the treat? Oh, it's chocolate. Then why did you gag? 'Cause I thought it was like a, an organ. Yeah, when I smelled it, I was like, "I don't know why he gagged exactly." It's a cookie. It's just a cookie in there. And it's actually a really good cookie. Oh, yeah. It's great. It's cold, too. Mm. It's been hermetically sealed in Jell-O. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. So we're basically dealing with Jell-O and cookies. I think that's a Mrs. Fields cookie, to be specific. Oh, you do? I don't know. Um, and where are their fields? Hmm. Where are there Mrs.? Everywhere, really, if you think about it. Yeah, there's just not a lot of… If I were Jell-O, where would I be? I'd be in the Midwest, hardcore in the Midwest. And to be specific- I would be in Illinois. Which was my round one guess, which is like a, it's a vibe place that we like to go. Cookies and Jell-O. Doesn't it feel right? I'm actually feeling Wyoming. Why? Don't ask. Wyoming. This sandwich represents Utah. Oh yeah. Oh. Again, buddy. Ugh. Triple. So Link, yeah, you get a triple. Yes. And Rhett struck out. Can you help us understand what's, why that's Utah? Well, the, um- I got one run … The cookie's actually Crumbl Cookies. Crumbl Cookies. And Crumbl was invented in- I got two runs. That would've been it. And Jell-O's their official snack. And I got my batter all the way to third, so he got two RBIs. More baseball knowledge for those of you who don't care. Yes. In front of you is a sandwich that has the official state mushroom, snack invented in the state, and a condim- co- condiment invented in the s- What? What? You gotta… Gross. I, I read it beforehand- I mean- … and I did the same thing in my mind. W- I mean, this sauce is very unsettling now. I promise you everything's edible. Yeah, okay. I'll… You know what? I'll let you take a bite. Well, that doesn't help. I'll let you take a bite this round. I think I'm all really red back here. So you said condiment? Condiment invented in the state. Invented… Condiment invented in the state, state mushroom, state chip. Not state chip. The chip was also made in- Snack invented in the state. Snack invented in the state. So- The only official state thing is the mushroom … so it's, it's where Doritos were made. It's where… I guess that's ranch. It's on my face. Is that ranch? Mm. Is that in the Hidden Valley? Yes, I believe that's ranch. Ranch, Doritos and a… The type of mushroom, it's a very meaty orange. Is it orange because- No, it's orange because of, uh- … the Doritos? … Doritos, I believe. First of all, they're doing great things in this state. Yeah, they are inventing Doritos and ranch? Yeah. We're a fan of whoever you are. So it's a place of industry. I would be saying something, I would be like Texas maybe, but we, Texas is already happening. Grapefruit. And, uh, I feel like if Doritos and ranch were from California, I would know that. Maybe I wouldn't know that. Man. I'm gonna go back to Illinois because Illinois is a place, like Chicago has made a bunch of stuff. You know? They've made a bunch of s- bunch of foods there. I think that Doritos makes you think Southwest, but that's a red herring. The ranch makes me think California. I just remember that ranch came from California, but maybe it was that Hidden Valley Ranch came from California. Which came first, the Hidden Valley or the ranch? Ah, I don't know. But then mushrooms take me out of the desert, so I'm definitely not- Well, California's a big state … trying to go s- I know. That's why I'm not going, like, s- New Mexico, Arizona. I'm going with Cali. All right. This sandwich represents California. Ah, yes. Yes. So Link, you got a home run. Around the bases. Wow. Wow. You know what? Knock in that buddy on third. Bring him in. RBI and then, uh, you get yourself in there. And Rhett, oh, let's see what that means. Oh, sorry, you got another strike out. Strike out. But you were, uh, you were on the nose, Link. Um, Hidden Valley actually invented ranch and, uh- Oh, they invented it. Right here in California. They, and this state invented Doritos? I retained information on con- And they invented Doritos. And what kind of mushroom is this? That's the California golden chanterelle. Love it. So it is golden. Love it. We love California. It's easy to hate on California, but I mean- Aw, only if you're jealous. It's easy to love on it, too. We got some new stuff in the store. We've got GMM claw clips. Look at that. Rhett's got one in his hair there. Looking all fancy with the- I wanna say that I wasn't able to do this myself. I had to get Jenna to do it. I, I'm not familiar. I'm gonna have to familiarize myself with how, how this works. Yeah, it's easy enough. You just take that. Well… GMM logo cockatrice made into a claw clip. Um, we also have mini tees. I'm wearing one. You know what time it is. It just, it ends right there. That's where the shirts are supposed to end these days. Right there. Right there, too. Well, it depends on who you are. Right there. We also have different colors. Here's one. Here's another color. Oh. They're like baby tees. Your whole family can get these. Yeah. All four of you. Look at that. It's, it's a- If you're into mini tees, we have them. Mythical.com. Mythical.com. This sandwich contains the state cake. That's it? The state cake. That's it. That's a… We gave you a lot. All right. See if you can bite that. Ooh, smushy smushy. Oh. Okay, then me. Hmm. Oh. Fruity. There's some coconut in there. Nutty. Cold? What is that cake? Hmm. What is that? Okay, Link. We got two more innings here. You cannot beat me, so- Even if I got two homers, I couldn't beat you. I will, I wanna make this interesting. Oh, I appreciate that. So I will, just for the sake of com- competition, walk one of your batters to put him on base, and then you can bat with the next guy. But to get on base, I gotta bean you. Oh. We're gonna be playing with ping pong balls in More, so I, I guess you're saying yes? I hit the clips. Okay. All right. I'm gonna walk. So put one of my batters. So walk 'em. So now he's got two on base and you get to guess first. Is that a cranberry? Hmm. Yeah. It is. You think it is? Hmm. And Ocean Spray Cranberry juice. They're in Oregon or Washington in that commercial. Here's the problem, I gotta get somebody on base, and if I go over there to that part of the, the nation and I don't get somebody on base, I still can't win unless you walk somebody else. I'm gonna go, I think it's a cranberry, Ocean Spray, Washington. I thought it was a date until you said cranberry, and now I am pretty convinced that it is cranberry. What does that mean to you? Uh, I think Washington might… You might be home running it. So I have to go with Oregon. It's also coconut and something else. I don't know what. This sandwich represents Alabama. Oh, g- what? What kind of cake is it? Let's see what that means for your runners. Well, we know what it means. Oh. Nothing. Everyone struck out. This is the Lane Cake. A Lane Cake is a moist vanilla cake sandwiched with an eggy custard filling with coconut, pecans, raisins and bourbon. And then, like, um- Raisins? There's some other… I think there's a couple other fruits in there, like cherries. You tricked me into thinking that a raisin was a cranberry. Cranberries. I got him. It, it, it certainly didn't help me. That doesn't taste Southern. Our final sandwich is made up of a traditionally enjoyed food combo and a regionally iconic frozen drink invented in the state. Gross. All right, so we've got frozen chili. Oh, God, what is happening? I'm trying to figure out how to pick it up. Yeah, of course. Yeah, of course. Of course, of course, of course. It's a sandwich. I recommend biting that there. I gotta keep looking at this You said a c- food combo. Bean chili and then whatever this… What is this? Oh, oh. Oh. Okay, well, okay. Well, this is a cinnamon roll. But you said it was frozen, right? There's a frozen drink- Oh, a third thing … that was invented in the state What is that frozen drink? Don't they put chili on cinnamon rolls in Ohio? I know they put chili on spaghetti in Ohio. But don't they put it on their cinnamon rolls? I don't know why you're asking that, because there's just three things that don't go on each other. We've put them on each other, in a sandwich. No, no. He said… Okay, I'll just be quiet then. I'll just be quiet. And I'm gonna say Ohio. Ohio is a great guess. If it's not Ohio, then it better be Pennsylvania. All right, this last sandwich represents Wyoming. Oh, no. Why? Oming. I didn't… Oh, God. So two zeroes. Rhett and Link- Did I get nothing, too? Yes. You both struck out. Oh, yeah. Look, I almost got something. So you're telling me that the, the, the place that they put chili on a cinnamon roll is Wyoming? That is what I'm telling you. I still can't believe that you said that, or that it's true. And what is that drink? That is a, a sloshee, which is a just spiked, frozen slushee. We gotta study the states more. All right, Link, you shut me up- This was, this was a lot harder this time than last time … this time last time. Yeah, Link, you did it this time. You're the winner, and you get to plant your face on the coveted Heavy Hitters helmet. Oh, look at me. Keeping it interesting, and isn't that just a nice placement? I'm good at sticker placement because I grew up playing with G.I. Joes. Ah. Thanks for commenting and sharing this video. You know what time it is.
