GMMore 1514: Discontinued E.T. Cereal Taste Test

(cockerel crowing) (lion roaring) (dramatic bang) (rapid ticking) – Welcome to Good Mythical More – Merchicality, we like to see you repping that GMM merch out there. Our Merchicality winner this time is Praise. – Oh yeah, Praise. Praise Sharp, working it, got the hat. – Congrats, you win a $30 mythical.store gift card. Alright. – Okay, this was not cheap. – Nope. – This cereal, themed with the movie Extra Terrestrial. – That’s what E.T. means. – On eBay, what does the e in eBay stand for? – It’s extra berrestrial. – Extra berrestrial, what does the e in eBay stand for? – I think electronic, probably? – Nobody knows. – It’s like a bay, it’s an electronic bay. – We paid $225 for this cereal, introduced in 1984. (sighs) – Wait, no. – What? – It doesn’t, it’s not electronic. It was owned by a company called Echo Bay. (distant laughing) – What? – Echo Bay? – eBay, it coulda been called Echo Bay. ’84, the year we met. The year we met, this cereal was released and now we’re about to eat it together. – This is the reason we’re friends, Rhett. – We would go back and they would give us this box and they would say, you guys have to wait! Until you’re 41. – Years old, and that’s when you’ll be able to eat it together. – It’s peanut butter and chocolate flavored crispy sweetened grain cereal. – You have to buy it off of this website called eBay, you know what the e stands for? Echo. – Oh wait, there’s more to this, listen to this. – Keep going. – So it originally belonged to Echo Bay Technology Group and then when they tried to register the domain name echobay.com it was already taken by the Echo Bay Mines, a gold mining company. So he shortened it to his second choice, which was eBay. – I shortened it to eBay, just go ahead and grab the dot com and let’s get this over with. It’s like a yard sale on the interwebs. C’mon, we gotta get to it! – You know what? That very well may be the reason that it took off and is as successful as it was. Because Echo Bay just doesn’t have the same sort of, you can’t make it a verb, I’m gonna eBay that, I’m going to Echo Bay that, it just sounds different. You know, that extra syllable. – But when you wanna mine for gold, I’m Echo Baying it day in, day out, baby. (distant laughing) Alright, so I just don’t feel great about spending $225 on opening something that is guaranteed to be a horrible experience. – Yes, but what’s the point of holding, does it go up in value the more rotten it gets? – You want us to taste it, don’t ya? You want us to taste it, we’re gonna taste it, okay? Gonna taste it, this is my E.T. impersonation. (loud laughing) Have you seen E.T., Ben? – Yeah, I live E.T. – Ben lives E.T., does that mean that you’re hiding in the closet dressed as a little girl? Or does that mean that you’re hiding… – Yeah, E.T.– – Don’t wanna talk about that. (crew laughing) – What do you mean by that? – Ben hides in a closet dressed at a little girl. Oh gosh, first of all, I mean look at the residue on this. – Okay, that’s the worst I’ve ever seen. I’ve opened a lotta old cereals before this one takes the cake, it’s got tartar (laughs) on the actual bag (laughs) tartar build up on the food. (plastic rustling) Oh! (sighs) Lemme smell, I know what’s it’s gonna smell like. – You know, when E.T. first came out, I thought it was eet. Hey, Mom are you gonna take me to go see eet? I met this tall boy in school I bet I can invite him to go with us. (quiet laughing) You wanna go see eet, tall boy? (plastic rustling) – It’s Es and Ts, man. It actually looks like Chef Boyardee Alphabet Soup. Without the rest of the alphabet. – E and a T right there. – You know that there is one letter– – We’re going to eat this. – There’s one letter that they leave out of every Alphabet Soup, because Chef Boyardee requested it? – F. – Yeah, he’s like, I don’t like F. How do you know? – Get the F outta there. – That’s right, exactly. (laughs) – That’s your joke. – You took my joke. (laughs) (crew laughing) – Alright, I’m gonna throw this– – ‘Cause it’s not true! – I’m gonna throw this into your mouth. – But you were like, really? – And if you catch it you have to eat it. – There’s one letter? It’s really F? – I’m gonna throw it into your mouth, if you catch it you have to eat it. You’re incentivized to not move your mouth to try to catch it. – What if I just close my mouth? – I’ll throw it hard, it’ll still get in there. Open your mouth. – You’re too close for this to be a fun game. (clears throat) I mean, if you can’t hit my face from two feet, then. How about just a little hole like this? If you can get it in that hole I’ll eat it. – Alright, if it perches there, you have to eat it. – Okay. (crew laughing) Did it go through my head? (laughs) – Alright, now it’s your turn. I’m gonna make a little hole right here. (laughs) Trying to do it up my nose? – No. – You’re like Popeye the Sailor Man, pull out his pipe! – Oh, that was close. – Gotta make the hole a little bigger. – I’m gonna hit your teeth. (light bouncing) Oh. – Make the hole a little bigger. Touched it to my nose. Now I’m gonna put it in your mouth. (crew laughing) – Oh, ow! – (laughs) Sorry! I gotta throw it hard with a hole that small! – Why, I’m not gonna close it! You got too much teeth, man. Make more black hole. (giggles) There we go. – You keep going through the black hole. If it’s a black hole I should be sucking. (inhales loudly) – Oh gosh, I’m so close! – That hurt, man. Alright, make a sucking noise. – Can I give you just black? – Gimme black and give a sucking noise. Yeah, keep going. – No I don’t wanna suck it down! – Well you’re tongue’s up, it’s not gonna suck it down. Three, two, one. Alright, let’s speed up the process here. – Alright, here we go. (loud inhaling) (chuckles) (loud inhaling) (giggles) (loud inhaling) Oh no, why am I going twice? (loud inhaling) (crew laughing) (laughs) Open your mouth! (loud inhaling) Gotta lead! – Open your mouth wider! (glass clinking) – Open your mouth wider! (loud inhaling) (laughs) Is it hitting your tongue? (crew laughing) – No (laughs) it’s in my lip. (laughs) (inhales loudly) – Dang it! – The funnier face is the one you make when you throwing it, you’re like… (loud inhaling) – Ugh, get it out! (loud inhaling) – (sighs) Ah, gosh. (loud inhaling) – (laughs) There we go. (loud inhaling) Gah, what’s wrong! (groans) Make the noise! (loud inhaling) (grunts) (loud inhaling) (crew laughing) (loud inhaling) – (laughs loudly) Oh gosh! (loud inhaling) (hysterical laughing) Ugh, oh! – I just E.T.’d that fool. – (spits) It’s so awful! (grunts) Oh, it’s the worst! (grunts) (smooth music) Got a good deal on it though. Ugh! (spits) – Now you try it. (inhales loudly) – Sick stickers, bruh, where’s you get ’em? – mythical.store, bruh. – So sick, bruh. – Totally, bruh, I just put ’em all over my board, bruh. – So sick, bruh. – Yeah.
