- We're trying underrated
fast food menu items.
- Let's talk about that.
(catchy music)
(singer vocalizing)
Good Mythical summer.
- We're about to rank
underrated fast food items,
but first, this portion of
today's episode is sponsored
by Zocdoc, helping you find
the right doctors for you.
- You need a doctor and you want
to find a doctor that you need.
I'm a procrastinator.
I'm not the best at life admin, you know,
making appointments, tasks
to make my life run smoothly,
including doctor's appointments.
I also need doctors. They
fall in that category.
And boy, I just,
I could put that off.
- Well, here's the thing
about me, I'm always in need
- Forever.
- of a doctor, a specialist of some kind.
I don't know what it is about
me, and maybe I'm just tall,
but I got to get an eye
doctor, I got a heart doctor,
I got a back doctor, I got a foot doctor.
- Special issues need specialists.
- I'm always looking for a specialist.
And whether you procrastinate,
you get anxious or call,
and can't seem to find a
doctor with open appointments,
we're here to tell you it
doesn't have to be that way!
- Zocdoc makes it easier
to find doctors near you
that take your insurance and
actually have availability!
It's crazy, you can't find,
you can't get an appointment
for like six months in a place.
So this is so that you're not
waiting months for an opening.
- Appointments happen pretty fast,
usually within 24 to 72 hours,
and sometimes you can even
get same-day appointments.
- Zocdoc has more than 150,000 providers
within 200+ specialties
across all 50 states
and it is free to use.
- Plus Zocdoc's website
has tons of reviews
from real patients and
detailed doctor profiles
to help you choose the
one that's right for you.
- Taking care of your
health just got easier.
Scan the QR code or go to zocdoc.com/gmm.
That was hard to say
and I actually said it.
- Well, it was hard for you.
- Zocdoc.com.
- But okay, go ahead. Say it again.
- Zocdoc.com
- It's very hard for him.
- /gmm
- You can see a specialist.
- to get started and check
that appointment off your to-do list.
It feels so good to even do that.
Thanks again to Zocdoc for
sponsoring this portion
of today's episode.
- Now, Link and I try our
best to be adventurous eaters.
Well, one of us does. I won't say who.
- But if you're someone
who loves to branch out,
and that's a big if for
one of us, I won't say who,
sometimes you can just turn
to your local fast food
joint to branch out.
- There might just be
some hidden treasures,
underappreciated and underordered,
lurking amongst our favorite chain menus.
- What? (laughs)
(upbeat music)
- We're gonna be trying five
different least ordered items
from five different chains and
ranking them on this board.
And you may be asking yourself,
"Why the heck is there a volcano?"
- Why?
- Well, the only way
that we can find out what
the least ordered item is
on these menus is by calling
directly to these restaurants
and talking to people who work there
because these chains don't
release this information.
- They don't brag about
what they don't sell.
- And when the staff
around here calls the staff
at the restaurants, (chuckles) they say,
"I'm working on a school project
and that's why I need this information."
And so in order to make-
- And then they don't hang up
on us.
- Right, in order
to make this an ethical process,
we have made this into a school project.
This is a real fake volcano,
and it will erupt by
the end of this episode.
- For schools everywhere.
- Yes.
It's official school
project. We're not lying!
I ain't lying.
- So what is the least
ordered item at Buffalo Wild Wings?
Well, it's the Southwestern
Black Bean Burger.
So you've heard of it.
- So it's not a wing.
It's not a wing.
- Not a wing at all.
- Now this thing, it's a black bean patty,
but it has some bad
reviews people have made.
There's a TikTok video that's
made about somebody having
to send this thing back three
times because it was frozen,
then it was hard, then it was whatever.
And then there's always
someone in the comments
of anything about a fast food chain
that goes viral who used to work there.
Matt, in this case, said,
"I used to work at Buffalo.
They legit microwaved
the black bean burger."
So according to Matt,
who may or may not
actually be an employee,
this is a frozen patty that
then is microwaved to order.
How do you feel about that?
Does it taste that way?
- You know, you're going
to Buffalo Wild Wings
with people who want wings,
but you don't eat wings.
Maybe you don't eat meat.
You're being a good
sport by even showing up.
It's nice that they give you something.
It's not horrible.
- It's not good.
- If I start to pull it apart
though, I mean, you're spending
like $16 on this thing.
- There's corn in it.
- Yeah, I like these little corn pieces.
It's fine.
- It's got the tendernism.
- It's... (laughs)
I don't think you want...
Do you want that in a black
bean burger? Tendernism?
- I don't know. I'm not
the target audience.
- I never desire a black bean burger,
especially at a wing place.
- I'm actually starting to like it.
- But I-
- Little spicy?
- I don't hate black bean burgers. No.
There's a nice little something something.
So this is decent
if you need a non-meat thing there.
- So...
- We understand.
- We think this is pretty, pretty good,
put it on the volcano.
- I mean-
- Or two.
- I predict it's gonna be pushed down,
- Whoa, you think it's gonna
- even though it's fine.
- be one of the worst things.
- Well, you know, it's a
microwaved black bean burger.
- It is, well,
according to that.
- And this is a what?
- [Both] A school project.
- That's a volcano.
(upbeat music)
- According to our information
that has been acquired under no pretense,
- Yes.
- Del Taco's least ordered
item is the Queso Loaded Fries.
- Well, yeah, maybe
because it's french fries.
You don't go, you go there for tacos.
- We've got
- Sour cream here.
- burger, ground burger.
- [Rhett] Jalapeno.
- We've got some tomato.
Lots of white stuff.
Sour cream.
- I mean, how can that be bad?
It's french fries with sour
cream on it. I mean, it's good.
- It's good, but you know,
the chatter online is that
people just don't order it.
But the people who do are like,
"I get these as my side of fries instead
of getting regular fries."
Which is a bit indulgent,
but I can see why.
Pretty good.
- They're good for you.
- Mm. I like them.
- Some of you may be thinking,
"Isn't it summer?
Isn't school not in session?"
- Oh.
- You ever heard of summer school?
- Yeah, this is not
a summer school project.
- Summer school project.
- We're studying volcanoes.
- God, get off our backs.
Some people got to go to summer school.
- It's not that we're behind,
it's just that we're trying to get ahead
- We're trying to get more school in.
- on our volcano studies.
No one wants to build a
volcano during the school year.
They got, you know, it takes-
- Volcano's a summer thing, man.
- Yeah, it's hot.
This is clearly better than that.
- Oh, that's good fries.
- I think this may be
the best thing.
- It may be the best thing I've ever had.
(staff members laugh)
Well, not, probably not.
- Queso Loaded Fries are the
best thing Rhett's ever had.
- I do say that a lot.
I'll be at a meal and I'm like,
"This is the best meal I've ever had."
I got a problem. I need
to see a specialist.
- Sometimes you're at Del Taco
- Yeah. Yeah.
- saying that?
"This is the best meal I've ever had."
It's nothing but loaded fries.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- It is at number two though.
- Right.
(upbeat music)
Okay, we've got KFC's Chicken Pot Pie.
I think people are intimidated
by this.
- Well, unless you eat-
- 'Cause it's a pie.
- Unless you eat
at KFC multiple times a week,
maybe multiple times a month.
- You're not gonna get
to this.
- You're not gonna get
to this but-
- You're not gonna get to it.
- You got freaking fried
chicken in your face,
and then you got boneless
fried chicken in your face.
- And speaking of
boneless, this is de-boned.
Hand de-boned.
They're back in the back of KFC,
putting their hands up in
some chicken to get rid
of the bones, y'all.
- Good for them.
- Now one of the main
complaints that we have found
on the internet about this is
people finding bones in this.
- "Found a bone in my KFC Chicken Pot Pie.
I know it's made of chicken
and bones are in chicken.
- "I know it's made of chicken and bones,
but I didn't want the bones."
- But no one expects a large bone
as they bite into a mushy pot pie."
Well, you're not wrong.
Also, we found this one.
- Well, we're expecting it.
- "The chicken pot pot isn't to die for."
- Chicken pot pot?
That's a different product.
- Meant to say pot pie.
They also ate everything except that bone.
- I mean, they licked the foil clean.
- Well, I guess we got to do it.
- I mean...
- Can I?
- Yeah, man. Yeah, you can.
- I'm like making a square.
Going deep.
- I'm gonna be disappointed
that there's no bone in there.
- Oh, I lost the crust.
- How are we gonna find the bone?
We're not gonna, we can't
eat the whole thing.
We'll send it back to you, Carney,
to lick it clean and find the bone.
- You find the bone.
It's a year of good luck.
- Now it's going to be hot.
- Yeah, I'm letting it cool.
- We need to blow on it. Ooh.
Pot pies are notoriously hot.
These are like the hottest
foods on the planet.
- I know a guy who insulated
his house with pot pie.
- Chicken pot pie house?
- Well, with the crust.
- What's his name?
- My uncle.
It's a lie.
I'm making it up.
- Oh.
Woo!
Woo. I mean, that's hot.
I almost, I looked over here.
I almost reached for the vinegar.
Almost just like took down
vinegar to make myself-
- Good tease.
- I think that's going,
that's for our project.
- No, no, that's going
to the project.
- 'Cause we are still doing that.
- Yeah, yeah.
- This is not just a demonstration.
This is an experiment.
- It is a project.
Oh, experiment.
(staff members laugh)
Hypothesis, it will erupt.
- This is good.
- (chuckles) Yep.
Hypothesis, it will erupt good.
- Purpose, to erupt.
- To erupt.
- [Both] Hypothesis, it will
erupt. Results, erupted.
- Conclusion, I believe...
- Conclusion, volcanoes erupt.
- Volcanoes erupt. Yes.
See the scientific
method, y'all, in action.
That's what you get at summer school.
I'm quite enjoying this.
- It's hot.
- I would think I'm at a family reunion
if it weren't for all the cameras.
- Every time you go to KFC,
what you need to do is you
need to get one of these
on the side and not eat it.
You take it back home
and you need to put it in the fridge.
- I thought you'll say put it in the wall.
- Take it out, put it in the wall.
Put it in the fridge for two hours.
Take it out and eat
it. It'll still be hot.
- It'll be perfect.
- And then it'll be your next meal.
- This is good, man.
- I've seen food trucks that make pot pies
and you like take them home.
Regular pies, pot pies, stuff like that.
There's one outside of the Hollywood Bowl
if you walk down far enough.
- A pot pie truck?
- There's a pot pie truck.
- I don't believe you.
- When you're...
- You're lying. Are you lying?
Say, "I ain't lying."
- I ain't lying.
- Yeah.
Trying to get that to catch on.
- I ain't lying.
- Mm-hm. You ain't lying.
- The best.
- This is the best.
Number one.
- It's, oh, God.
(staff members laughing)
- I wanted you to be able
to see where it's from.
- Just remember to not open it.
- Yeah, yeah. I won't.
- I think we need to do that
for the fries as well now, please.
- Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right.
You're right. You're right.
Yes. (coughs) And Buffalo.
- And they're,
oh, it's got a window!
- It's got a window!
(box thuds)
- There it is. These are
secondary school projects.
- Yeah.
(upbeat music)
Hey, there's a whole new
Last Meals Collection
at mythical.com.
We got the colorblock hoodie.
We got the two different coffin shirts.
- Right.
- And we got a sticker
that is the handshake of death.
- (laughs) I like that.
- Mythical.com.
- Get it.
All right, what is the least
ordered menu item from Dunkin?
Well, it is the powdered donuts.
- How?
- The powdered donuts.
- No, I got to say,
I've never ordered a powdered
donut from a donut shop.
I've only gotten
- In a sack.
- the sack of powdered donuts.
- From the groceries.
- And nearly choked because if you inhale
as you are taking a bite... (wheezes)
- You start dying.
- It's the only way to die
from donuts, really.
- Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Now people like to
chatter about this stuff.
On Reddit, they ask,
"People whose favorite
donut is powdered, why?"
Of course, this isn't related to Dunkin,
but just in general.
Someone said, "I like to
blow the powder on people."
(both blowing)
- Doesn't actually work.
- Doesn't work that well.
Someone said they like the taste of it.
Do we like the taste of
it? I like the cold powder.
It's like when you change a baby's bottom,
and then if you were to bite-
- Don't...
Don't ruin things for people.
- Well, that's what it's like.
It's the least ordered
thing, right?
- It's not like that at all.
The thing that I noticed
as I took a bite of it is
that my lips got coated in powder,
and then I got to lick my lips.
- Mm. Yeah.
- And if I was alone-
- Somebody said, "I like
to rub it over my lips
and act like a crack addict."
- Yeah. See?
(staff members laughing)
Or some, I mean, listen,
offbrandfanta said that.
(Link shuddering)
- Too much?
Too much, too soon, too often.
- No.
I thought these were good,
but I think they are not the best donut.
They are maybe the worst donut.
- Except in the-
- But it's better
than a black bean burger.
It's still a donut. I
mean, who are we kidding?
Now we're not gonna be able
to see our school project, unfortunately.
Just so you know, kids, there's
still a volcano behind that.
(upbeat music)
Finally, we got the
least ordered menu item
off the Sbarro menu.
- [Link] Baked Ziti.
- Not pizza, which is
what you would expect
to be the least ordered menu item.
Something that wasn't pizza.
- Maybe it's a sleeper, you know?
Ooh. It's soft and mushy and ricotta-y.
- Hm. It's a little tasteless, isn't it?
Am I wrong?
- It's very cheesy,
but you know how ricotta
doesn't have a lot
of taste to it?
- Yeah, it's bland cheesy.
- It's like it needs salt.
- Oh.
- It just needs salt.
- You may not believe this,
but a Sbarro pizza manager did
an ask me anything on Reddit.
So somebody asked,
"Why is the Baked Ziti so tasty?"
And they said, "Because
the ricotta cheese we use
and the mozzarella.
Our cheese is a whole
milk mozzarella cheese
that we shred on site every day.
It doesn't come pre-shredded.
It comes in giant big blocks of cheese
that we prep every day."
- Huh.
You got some pride in this ziti.
Is it better than Fazoli's?
Do you remember Fazoli's?
Is that still happening?
Maybe on the east coast?
This is fine.
- It's not bad.
- I just wouldn't-
- But I keep wanting it
to be better every time I go back to it.
- I wouldn't order this in public.
I like the-
- Just private, huh?
- If I'm at home and this
is there, I'll be like,
yeah, throw some salt all over it.
Some pepper. Some flakes.
- Yeah,
it needs more seasoning.
- Maybe ranch dressing
or something, you know.
- Not that.
- Just anything and everything all at once
to make this thing better.
But I'm not gonna order
this. It's just not...
- Yeah. I understand why
it's the least ordered item.
- I mean, is it better than
a powdered donut though?
Solid number one,
Chicken Pot Pie.
- No question.
Solid number two.
- Number two,
I love those fries.
- Yep.
Down here, we're into a-
- The donuts are better
than the Black Bean Burger
and they are also better
than the Baked Ziti.
I think that the Baked
Ziti is a little bit better
than the Black Bean Burger,
just to be honest with you.
They're both not great.
(plastic container crinkling)
Perfect.
So there you have it,
the definitive order.
Now we've got to erupt this volcano.
I'm gonna take this Dunkin out of the way.
- I'm gonna take one ziti
and put that in there
because what could happen?
- Let's just get this
nicely positioned here.
Oh, we've really made a mess.
(staff member laughs)
I'm just gonna turn that
towards the volcano.
It's a school project.
- I think we should, we can make...
I don't know if you know this,
but we go to a religious summer school
and we need to appease the gods.
- It's a very specific religion.
- We need to appease the gods
- Okay.
- of-
- This particular religion.
- Of the volcano
so that it won't destroy our entire set.
- Okay, but I'm gonna
hold onto the pot pie.
I'm not gonna sacrifice that.
- All right. Well, it might know that.
- Okay, all right. This
is the school project.
- What could happen when I
pour this vinegar in there?
What's gonna happen?
What's gonna happen?
What's gonna happen?
(beaker thuds)
- Okay. I think now we wait.
- Hypothesis, something's gone wrong.
Maybe I hit it like an old television.
- [Staff Member] You know,
ziti neutralizes the vinegar.
- Oh, did you, you zitied it.
- I put one noodle.
- Ah, I think you zitied it.
- Are you blaming me?
(staff members laugh)
But no, there is no
way it's because of me.
A little bit more baking soda.
- Fill her up.
- See what we learned.
- Fill her. Fill her up.
Fill her up. Fill her up.
- Just a little bit.
It's just a little bit more vinegar.
- This is for summer school.
- There we go.
- There we go.
- Now it's working.
- Now it's summer school.
- [Link] Now we're in summertime.
- Okay, there you,
okay, all right.
- And we're in summertime.
- That's enough, that's
enough, that's enough,
that's enough.
- Look at that.
Flee, citizens!
- That's cool.
(staff members laugh)
Look at it.
- We learned so much.
- Look at,
it's like constant and slow.
Oh, now it's hitting the ground. Listen.
(ground tapping)
Oh, no, that's just me. (laughs)
- Thanks for being your mythical best.
- You know what time it is.
- I'm John.
- I'm Crystal.
- I'm Harper.
And we're in Long Beach, California,
doing a powdered donut taste test.
- [All] And it's time to spin
the wheel of mythicality.
(wheel clacking)
- They're eating powdered
donuts in Long Beach right down the road.
- It's a family affair.
I wonder what they were talking about.
Maybe if...
(staff members laugh)
- Yeah, you know what?
I'm sure it came up.
Let's give a hand to a very
specific group of people.
Middle school teachers who shop at H&M.
