GMMore 1579: Grocery Lemonade Taste Test

(rooster crows) (lion roars) – Is your knee okay? – No. (Matt chuckles) Hey, Gifticality. – All right. – Look at that. We’re donating $1000 to the Animal Welfare Institute to aid in their mission to improve the treatment of animals everywhere. – Wow. – Please join us in giving at awionline.org. – All right. – What a nice cause. – When they say we they mean Rhett and Link. – Sure, oh, not you and I. – No no no no no. That would, I can’t, mm. (Jordan chuckles) – We’re selfish men, we’re very selfish men. – I’d give five or $6. – I have Funko Pops to buy. – Yes, yes, yes. – Hey, Matt. – What’s up dude? – Do you like lemonade? – I do. – Do you like milk milk? – I also like that. I know where this is going and I don’t wanna. – It’s going around the corner. – I don’t want to go around. – Where the fudge is made. – Mm. – So yeah I think what we’re going to do is we’re going to try store-bought lemonades and we’re gonna rank ’em to help people out there make good summertime beverage choices. – Okay yeah, you mean as opposed to like alcoholic beverages. It’s like this is just a fun sugary drink– – No. – That we can all enjoy. – This is super wholesome and I think what I wanna do is before, let’s have a sip of lemonade. – Okay. – And let’s just say something wholesome to each other. – Okay I love that. – ‘Cause this is a nice, wholesome segment featuring two good boys. – Yeah we’re boys, nice boys. – (chuckles) A couple of nice boys. – We’re boys nice. – Yeah so looks like today’s first lemonade is a Capri Sun. – Oh this is classic, this is like my childhood. – Yeah, Matt, you know how we did it– – How did you do it? – When I was growing up? – Oh you’re gonna do from the bottom, huh? – Boom! – Yeah, yeah. – Uh! – I still can’t get the straw. – I know. – I can’t even get it out the plastic. – This is hard. I’m so embarrassed, please cut this out of me trying to stab the Sun. – (chuckles) I’m doing it regular way. – Why can’t I do this? – I’m doing it regular– – I might have to too. – I can’t throw a baseball anymore either. – Oh there we go. – All right you got ’em? – Hey. – I did it regular. – Whoa. – Hey, uh-oh. – Oh I forgot to say something wholesome. – You first. – I sure do love it when pies cool on windowsills. – Mm. – Now you go. – Okay. I like reading to get me to sleep at night. – Oh that’s nice. Healthier than turning on the TV. – That’s right or going through the phone, going through the phone is no good. – You get to REM sleep faster. – Yes yes, I like that REM. – This is good, this is really good. – It’s got that classic flavor where you’re just like, I know it’s mostly high fructose corn syrup but I don’t even care. – Yeah no, this is good, I’m getting some real childhood vibes right now. Just want my– – Luncha– – Dad to say he’s proud of me. – Oh I thought you were gonna say Lunchables but that’s also wholesome. – I would also like a Lunchable. – Mm, oh yeah. – Yeah I like this way more than I thought I was going to. It’s really good. – This was like, to bring it back to baseball. – Please. – After baseball games we would all get, everyone get Capri Sun and they would get me Gusher’s fruit snacks, a lot of sugar after. – Yeah. – ‘Cause they were like you earned all those calories already. – Yeah, put some in there. – Put some back in there, exactly. – Yeah you know, I’m kind of an Arnold Palmer guy. – Yeah? – So it’d be nice to have a little iced tea with these. – That would be nice. – But what can you do? – That’s different game. – What can you do? Totally different segment. – Mm-hmm. – Oh time for some Minute Maid. – Okay, now before we’re gonna rank these, I say we rank them the best here. – Okay. – And then the worst over there and right now this is neutral. – Yeah so let’s– – We’re galling this one neutral. – Yeah call it neutral, whoop. – All right. – Yeah oh let’s say something wholesome and have a sip. – Mm-kay. (can clicks) – You know, if you’re talking books, ain’t nothing beats the bible. – Mm. – Mm. – Mm. Only the first half of the bible is real. (Jordan chuckles) (crew laughs) – Really, Matt Lieb? Is that true, Matt Lieb? (chuckles) – Sorry. (both laughing) That’s wholesome to everyone in my synagogue but– (Jordan chuckles) – We go to very different synagogues, you and I. – Very different, very, very. – Yeah, this is good. This is a little more sugary than this. I don’t know which one actually has more sugar– – Yeah. – But to me, this is more like a soda. – Yeah it feels like because it’s in a can, definitely they were like we gotta make it more tart for the kids to enjoy. – Yeah. – And I know that tartness is supposed to be part of the whole lemonade experience but this is overdoing it. – Yeah, I think it is too. So right now if we’re going, so let’s say Capri Sun, I think we both like more. – Oh definitely. – And Minute Maid we both like a little less. – Okay. – Oh so this is Whole Foods 365. – Oh. – It’s Whole Foods discount brand. – Right right right, that’s their own home brand. Home brewed. – My cat liked that cat food for awhile. – Oh yeah? – Then she stopped liking it. – Cats are finicky like that. – They are very finicky animals. – Yeah after awhile they’re like you can do better than this. Come on Jordan. – Let’s say something wholesome. – Okay. – Cats are finicky animals. – Mm. Oh my gosh. – Yeah. Oh I’m kind of mad. I feel like I am just like a cartoon of a hipster ’cause I like the Whole Foods one best. – Yeah yeah yeah, it’s more expensive, that’s why it’s better. – I don’t think the 365 is that expensive, but it’s gotta be more than this. – It’s gotta be more expensive than these, right? – It’s probably not more than the Minute Maid though. – Really ’cause it’s name brand? – But it’s comparable. Yeah this is really good, it’s nice. Yeah again, it’s not overly sweet. It’s with a little tart lemon, very refreshing. I could drink a big, how much we got for that, okay. – You know what, the ice is doing it. This is the one thing that things like Capri Sun and Minute Maid are missing is you gotta put it in ice. – Yeah– – Now of course that’s not a function of the brand. We did that here, someone did that. Someone was paid to do that so you gotta pay someone to put ice in your lemonade. – Have we agreed on all these lemonades so far? – I mean I think so. This is so far my favorite. – Yeah me too so 365, Capri Sun, Minute Maid. – We’ll put this– – Now what do we got now? – Here so that people see, now is this blocking us? (crew laughs) – It’s very big. – Let’s see, what’s this guy? This is a fun looking jug. – Yeah. – Fat bottom jugs, you make the rockin’ world go round. – Califa. Wiz Khalifa Farms. – (chuckles) It’s probably not Wiz Khalifa, it might be. – Could be. I wouldn’t be surprised, listen, branding goes all ways. When you’re a musician, you gotta make shirts. Paul Newman has his own lemonade too. – Famous rapper Paul Newman. – Famous rapper Paul Newman. – Yeah so this is Meijer lemonade, all natural home style from Califa Farms. I’ve never had anything from this brand but it’s pretty good, 15% juice. – Ah ah ah ah ah ah, something wholesome. – Mm. – I’ll start. I love all of my nieces and nephews equally. – Mm-hmm. – Even though they are skilled at very different things. – I wish to someday touch a horse’s mane. – Mm. (chuckles) – Yeah. – All right now we’re getting to the– – This is a little more lemony. – Yeah, more lemony without that smack of sourness. – Mm-hmm. – This is, this is almost, it’s tame, it’s a mild lemonade. – Oh interesting, I feel like to me, I’m tasting more tart. – You’re tasting more tart? – But maybe my tongue is just different than your tongue. – Mm, maybe your tongue got burned from all the other ones. – Could be. Yeah, I like this a little bit less than the Whole Foods but still pretty good and still I think more than the other ones. – Mm, yeah, yeah, let me, hold on. Do I drink weird? – You do, yeah, you drink a little weird. You make weird sounds too. – Yeah I have to hold with two hands, it’s a thing. ‘Cause when I hold with one hand I have these shaky hands so it looks like I’m nervous but I’m not, I’m just– – You look like a giant six-year-old. (both chuckle) – Ba-ba. – Oh Dad. – Give me my ba-ba, Dad. – Where do we go when we die? – (chuckles) I did ask him that. – Yeah around six, you start being curious about death. – He said, “The cemetery.” It’s like okay. – What do you think, are we still simpatico on this or do you like it better than this? – I think I do, I think it’s my favorite one so far. – Okay so for you it’s this. – I’m going Califa. – But yeah. – Yo. ♪ Black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yell ♪ That is Wiz Khalifa, right? Someone, oh. (crew laughs) – Oh (whimpers) God, yeah, okay. Thumbs up. – Oh how embarrassing that would be. – All right, is this our final, oh no. Oh hey look at this. – Ah! – Santa Cruz Organic. Fun story. – Fun fact. – Fun story everyone. – Yeah. – Matt and I went to college together at UC Santa Cruz and we hated each other. – Oh we could not stand, stab, stab, stab, stab. – We were stabbin’ each other. – It was really– – Yeah. – But now we love each other. – That’s true. – That is the nicest– – Our stab wounds have healed. – Yeah everything has healed, we grew as people. – Mm-hmm. Yeah are these, did I miss, okay. So here’s the glass, Santa Cruz Organic. Did you know of the lemonade factory when you went to– – No, I did not, that is definitely not the… That’s not what I went to Santa Cruz for was the lemonade consumption. – This is made at their corporate headquarters. 37 Speedway Avenue in Chico, California. – What a lie. – Lies, lots of lying. – That is ridiculous. Why would they– – Jug. – Name it Santa Cruz? – I don’t know honestly. – Mm, these people, oh oh. Something nice. – Let’s see. I’m rewatching My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. – I love it. Stab wounds heal with love. – Ooh boy. I mean, Chico or not, this is good. You don’t like it? – Oh no I hate it. – You really hate it. – I hate this one. – Look at your face. Look at your little face how much you hate it. – It’s just ’cause it was so different than all the other ones, this one’s too different. – I like how slight it is. I like how it’s a little bit watery. – It is very watery. – I like how it’s not like super sweet. Boy yeah, this is great, this would be nice in a cocktail. You could put a little vodka in here. – I’m sober now. – Well I could put a little vodka in it. – You could, I could watch. (both chuckle) We’re allowed– – You love watching me drink vodka, don’t you? – It’s one of my favorite things to do. (Jordan chuckles) I’m gonna try drinking with one hand at some point. – We’re looking at a Google Map here. This is four hours away from UC Santa Cruz. – Wow. – Well this is, yeah. – I mean, it’s four hours away at this time of day. If it were rush hour– – Yeah rush hour. – Forget about it, forget about it. – Oh it’d be five hours. – Yeah, yeah, at least. – So yeah disingenuous naming aside, this is my favorite, this is really good. – Yeah. – But I bet this is like a more premium item. I bet this costs way more. – Yeah yeah yeah yeah, for sure. All right, well I don’t even know where to rate that since I hated it the most and you liked it– – Yeah and I liked it the most. – We put it– – Let’s just put it– – Right in the middle. – Right here in the middle. – I was gonna stack them but that’s a dangerous game. – Yeah don’t stack these. – All right, something new. – Yeah, okay, so this is– (crew laughs) This is Simply Lemonade. – Ah, this is what I always drink. – You like Simply, you’re simply man? – I’m a simple man. – Yeah you’re a simple man. – I like a simple lemonade. – Okay. – Yeah. – Yeah, something wholesome. – I enjoy it, it’s first of all non-GMO, it says right there. – That’s important. – Yeah I think I know what it means. – Yeah I don’t know exactly what a GMO is but I don’t want any of them. – Yeah yeah. – Get them out of here. – Go away, GMO! – Get on outta here! – You’re not good, GMO. – Ooh. – Get out of my town. (both chuckle) – They don’t have to leave town. – All right, okay, you can stay. – Something wholesome. I owe everything to Mommy. – Aw. I love both my parents equally although their skill sets are different. (crew laughs) – I don’t like this, I know I’m sorry this is your brand but boy, yeah, this is too sweet for me. This to me is more similar to this. This is more soda-like. – After trying literally any other lemonade today, I kind of realized I’ve really– – Your choice is wrong. – I’ve been limiting myself in my lemonade choices for a long, long time. And I think it’s because this is the lemonade that my parents buy in bulk at like Costco and stuff like that so– – You have kind of a lemonade Stockholm syndrome. – A little bit, a little bit, it’s just like, lemonade hurts me because it loves me, you know what I mean but– – I don’t. (both laugh) This is weird but I’ll go with you on that so maybe do we like this more or less than the Minute Maid? – I think I still like it more than Minute Maid. – I like it a little more too but to me, this is a similar product so yeah, how are we with this? Meijer’s first. – Well let’s– – Let’s scoot ’em. – Let’s scoot ’em. I think the microphone is my third favorite lemonade. – Oh love that microphone. – Mm-hmm, there we go. – So yeah so Meijer’s we both liked a lot. – Yeah we did. – You liked it a little more than I did. Whole Foods 365 we both liked a lot. – We loved it. – Santa Cruz you couldn’t stand. – Don’t like it. – And I loved. – It’s filled with lies. – (chuckles) You’re from Chico, admit it. – Go away. You’re worse than GMOs. – Capri Sun we both kinda thought had a fun nostalgia vibe. – Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. – Simply not nuts about and Minute Maid not nuts about. – Yeah. – What a fun segment. – What fun times we’ve had. – Look at these two good boys and no one swore. – No one swore one time. – No one even said (beep). – [Link] We are hitting the road this fall to bring comedy and music to even more Mythical Beasts.
