Welcome to “Good Mythical MORE”, can we identify the flavors in these mystery-flavored shnacks? Maybe, but can we also make a new selfie face? This one is, “Oh my God, I’ve been living in a cult.” It’s kinda related to this. Okay. Oops, I think that’s kinda how you, you know, that’s kind of an oops moment, oops, I did it again, I’m in a cult again. I don’t know, only let that happen once. Yeah, yeah. I won’t do it again. Don’t cult skip, cult shop. ♪ Cult trot ♪ ♪ Do the old cult trot ♪ ♪ From one to another ♪ It can happen man. Like a cakewalk? It can happen. How do you feel about mystery flavors? Kinda like a rebound relationship. I’m the guy that likes to buy things out of the window of a… I fall for advertising all the time but I’m not in… And I like taking chances, I like being surprised, I don’t like mystery flavors though. It’s just like, I don’t, I’m trying to figure out the person that this appeals to, like, “Yeah, I’m gonna buy the Mystery Oreos.” Well, we taste so many things blindfolded in a mysterious way that I think we’ve come to understand that marketing or at least expectations being set actually helps you enjoy something, I think that’s where your point of view is coming from, from our repeated experience, right? Well, I’m saying that but I’m also saying, if my personality type is not the one that they’re trying to appeal to, I don’t know what personality type they are trying to appeal to because I like everything. Before we did this show- I don’t mind being surprised. You weren’t into surprise flavors? No, I also don’t like surprise birthday parties. Okay, but some mystery flavors like the Airheads, I remember always as a kid, liking the mystery flavor ’cause it’s like a specific taste, so it’s not so much, like you start to associate the taste with the title mystery versus like, “Is this cherry, whatever it is?” So- So it’s no longer a mystery. Exactly, like, once you taste it, it’s not a mystery and you could come back to the mystery. But do you like surprise birthday parties? No, I’m a control freak man. Stevie, do you like surprise birthday parties? I’m trying to remember, I think any surprise party that’s been thrown for me. There’s no way, there’s no way she does. Has been somewhat spoiled at least a little bit so it’s not so much of a surprise. But this is the thing, I’ve never about that ’cause both of you guys are much more control freak than I am, but- Okay. I’m a control freak in the sheets baby. Oh gosh, that’s, nobody wants that. But the thing I’m trying to figure out is, I’m not a control freak but I don’t like surprise parties. Like I’m kinda like, “Ah, man,” like I would be enjoying this more if I was prepared for it. It’s performance anxiety, it’s like you wanna meet expectations of other people when you get surprised. Well that’s part of it. Well, it’s also like when you’re getting ready for something, you wanna look nice in a certain way and prepare yourself. My 25th birthday party was a surprise and it was a complete surprise and it was at the poolhouse of my community. I was involved in that. You were down there getting it ready but my friend Matt, who apparently I don’t respect his ability to do anything on his own, he was like, “Help me fix my garage,” and so for three hours we were trying to fix his garage, I didn’t know it, but they were getting my party ready, I also didn’t know his garage wasn’t broken. So for three hours- How long is it gonna take Link to figure out that this isn’t broken? I was trying to convince him that there wasn’t a problem for like hours, it was like, “Hey, I’m kinda thirsty, let’s stop and get a drink man.” Hold on, what part of the garage? Like the opening thing and the closing thing and. Anyway- How does someone fake that? I was confused and I didn’t wanna confront him about it and I was being nice and that was really the dynamic. That was a weird plan. I never knew that was part of it. It actually worked though and I showed up all sweaty, having worked in this guy’s garage, fixing nothing, like wearing my shorts and my sneakers and my Radial T-shirt and there are all of my loved ones there but one of the biggest birthday parties beside my 40th I ever had, I was not dressed appropriately. Yeah, that’s messed up, I don’t like that. It was pretty- I mean, wearing shorts? If you’re gonna do, yeah- I mean, can you believe? If you’re gonna do a surprise party for somebody. It was a surprise though. Then what you have to do, is you have to prepare them for something where. Yes. They will be dressed in the way that they will want to be dressed for the party. Hey, don’t critique how my wife went about it. I mean, she was like 25 years old I mean, her brain wasn’t even fully formed. Stevie, do you know what flavor this is? I do. Okay. And this is the same flavor? Oh, I said that and then I looked at my answer sheet. Yeah, yours is green. Okay, Dum Dum Pops Mystery Flavor, it’s truly a mystery, some are made from different flavors mixing together between batches but Dum Dums sometimes mixes in seasonal flavors like funnel cake and peach tea too. Oh, funnel cake, peach tea. All their flavors are- Dumb. Blue raspberry, bubblegum, butterscotch, cherry, cotton candy, cream soda, fruit punch, grape, lemon-lime-orange, peach mango, pineapple, root beer, sour apple, strawberry, and watermelon. Oh, sour apple, so it’s not a new flavor this mystery, it’s just they threw a mystery wrapper on an existing flavor. It says some are made from different flavors mixing together between batches. Okay, it’s basically a way for the factory to get rid of the dredge, the sludge, the- Yeah. The leftovers. We’ve had these Airhead, the White Mystery before. We were supposed to guess what they were but we can guess with this one. I know we’ve had this before because White Mystery is obviously like, that’s a nickname in high school joke waiting to happen but I’m not even gonna make it ’cause it’s so obvious. Yeah, we’ve had this before. Let’s see if we can remember what it is. It’s just a colorless piece of taffy, I mean, it looks like a shoehorn. Do hipsters use shoehorns now, is that a thing? I bet it is. If you got a big boot with a big back. They probably sell ’em for like $40 down there on Silver Lake and they say a thing like, “Feeling Horny.” You know? No. No, I could see that. Watermelon. Hmm, no it’s not quite watermelon. Sour apple. Sour apple meets watermelon. I can taste both of those in there. And a little blue raspberry. I don’t like taffy. I mean, you’re kinda right, again it’s the leftover flavors from a batch of Airheads are combined to produce the mystery flavor, so it’s cherry, blue raspberry, watermelon, grape, and orange, all in one thing. You did good man. Dang man. Maybe you’re pulling from your memory of us eating this before, but yes, pretty spot on. You know what? I’m like a sommelier. You don’t like that, I haven’t had them in years so I don’t know if I like it but I got them at the- I mean, I keep beating it and they don’t call me the white mystery for nothing, I definitely keep beating it but, I just- I like the taste but I can’t keep my handle on it. I don’t know, it’s just like, I think I’ve developed a little bit of an aversion to stuff that just feels like, this is almost 100% sugar. Yeah. Yeah. It’s a frivolous endeavor. I just can’t enjoy. Yeah, I completely agree. I can’t enjoy it. Wait, you’re maturing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, my brain is fully developed now that I’m 44. Isn’t that nice? Isn’t that nice? Yeah, I’ve never been a sweet tooth. I’d be great at organizing a surprise birthday party now ’cause my brain is fully formed. I Just feel like post-pandemic, a surprise birthday party is even more torturous. Oh yeah, I mean, yeah. Yeah, you can’t do it. Yeah, think you’re right, we may be past surprise birthday parties. All right, so we’ve got Twizzlers, Laffy Taffy, and Mystery Oreos but let’s go to the homemade, I’m- I thought this was like a palate cleanser, I was like, “Why did he just hand me this- No, I’m told- Slightly tainted drink. I’m told that Mythical Kitchen created a concoction of mystery here, right? Yeah, that is apparently called clear drink. Clear drink, it’s not great. Ooh, it’s very strong. I’m almost sure it has suntan lotion in it. It’s aromatic, Chase said it wasn’t bad, but Chase, this is bad. I said that the Mythical Kitchen said it wasn’t bad. I think they put- There’s a coconutty. There’s a coconut LaCroix, that’s one ingredient. Oh gosh, yeah. No actually. What? So this is suntan lotion? Unless they changed things up on us, but yeah, it wasn’t supposed to be coconut LaCroix. But it’s a combination of drinks that exist on the premises. I think it’s, is there a rose water in it? No. Ugh. I don’t know where they got the flavoring for the… So LaCroix is one of them, there’s a flavor of LaCroix in there and then there’s two other flavors and where they got those flavors, I’m not currently sure. They went to like a cupboard I’ve never seen open on the Mythical Kitchen and just pulled out a couple of flavor essences, that’s all I know. I have a headache, it’s like, it’s the headache I get when I smell perfume, I’m getting by tasting this, thanks. There’s a pina colada flavor essence. No, so it’s pure LaCroix. Okay, yeah. Oh, okay, that’s just the carbonation. And then banana and cranberry. Banana cranberry? Banana, cran banana. Uh-uh. Cranana. Cranana. Yep, I can taste it now, it’s so strange how when you combine banana and cranberry you immediately think coconut. Is that like the blue and yellow mint green of- Flavors? Flavor profiles? That’s strange. I think what it is- It’s horrible. My actual theory about that is that banana flavor is often coupled with coconut flavors and- Okay. And fakey flavors and so it’s adjacent, it’s coconut adjacent. Do you wanna grab one of those and give it a little rip, a whole, I mean, this is quite a commitment to buy a mystery bag this big. Now Stevie tell us, is this one flavor or is this- Yeah, this one you should be able to guess it is one singular flavor. And is it something that they will also release as a known flavor? I’m not sure, it’s interesting that this is branded the way that it is because it sounds like something that I would want to try. Cherry Coca-Cola. No. Black cherry. It’s mild. It smells better than it tastes. It doesn’t taste great, it’s not strong enough, it’s like, it’s not sour, it’s not sweet, it’s nothing. Rub it right there on that part of your nose. Why? ‘Cause it kinda begins to break off a little bit and goes right into your nostril, it’s like- Break ’em off something. I wonder of what it will happen if I just stick it right. Give me a hint Stevie. It is a fruit and it is a fruit that is somewhat the color that you’re looking at. Plum. No, it’s more- It’s browner. Man that smell is so good. It’s darker than this thing is. Black cherry was a really good guess, so you’re in the right territory with that. Blackberry. Blackcurrant. It is a berry. Black raspberry. Boysenberry. It’s raspberry. It’s just raspberry? Yeah. Uh-uh, not happening. I like that. You like it because? I like the smell of it. Gonna just save this for- That’s kind of a disappointment. Oh, it’s so concentrated. That’s why I was like, it’s interesting that, although I guess if it was Twizzlers Raspberry, I don’t know, I don’t know. You like this shirt, check, check, check out, check out our new shirt here.

Here you go Rhett, Laffy Taffy 2 Flavor Mystery Swirl, swirl. Laffy Taffy had all the jokes, remember the jokes? I think there should be a joke on this, yeah? It might be, jokes on every wrapper, okay, here we go, how does the sun and moon play hide and seek? How does? How does, this literally, this is the grammar. What? How does the sun and moon play hide and seek? How does- You don’t have to get a degree in English to write the jokes for Laffy Taffy. How does the sun and moon get a degree in what? No, you got confused there, how does the sun and moon play hide and seek? Early, early, sunsets and, free. Stevie, you got a guess? Davin said an eclipse. That is correct, an eclipse. That is not funny. That’s not a joke. And that is grammatically incorrect. It’s like something an astronomer would say. No, an astronomer would never say how does. Neil deGrasse Tyson would never do one of his little TikToks like that. Yeah, he would- What’s a school of peas? A school of peas? What’s a school of peas? A pod cast. A pea pod, huh, what? A pee pod. Man, their standard has gone so far down. Can anyone anywhere explain? A pee pod. What’s a vampire’s favorite fruit. I feel like, oh. Blood orange. Blood orange. I feel like at this point, Laffy Taffy, if you’re watching, you need some help with your jokes and we do jokes here, we’re willing to help you out, please hit us up because this is not good. But hold on Stevie, here’s one involving a ball, so this could be a balls joke. Okay, here we go, having my hopes up. This is number nine, so these jokes are numbered, joke number nine. Mine was number 11 and 12. What did the net say when the ball swished in? Schwing. That’s pretty good, I don’t know why, but that’s pretty good. Yeah. The other night- We watched “Wayne’s world”. We watched “Wayne’s World”. Like four nights ago, so. Yeah, I fell asleep. It holds up man, holds up. I fell asleep, I fell asleep and when it was over, you woke me up and I was like, “How did it end?” And you were like, “Well, there were multiple endings.” Yeah, there was like four endings. I love it. Like, oh, I remember that. I love it. I mean, I almost hate to read this now. I’m telling you it’s not gonna be that good. What did the net say when the ball swished in? That’s my internet. Oh no, no, no, no hold on, that’s my internet? Listen, okay. Ferrara Candy Company of Chicago, Illinois. Do we have more of these? Throw ’em over. Guys. Find me number one. Is the joke the jokes? I’ve already had this one. Because I can respect this if the joke is the fact that the jokes aren’t good. I don’t think I can, you can get there, I don’t think so. I don’t know. Yeah, and all of them are the same too, all of these are, school of peas, Oh, hold on, you’re telling me we got a bunch of 9, 10s, 11, 12s? School of peas, here’s 12. Oh, so on the mystery flavor they only do jokes 9 through 12. This entire box is nothing but- 9 through 12. 9 through 12, there’s no other ones, all of these are- The same four jokes we just did. And they weren’t even jokes, but the Taffy didn’t taste bad. Hold on, I don’t, that’s my internet. I don’t under, like I- It’s AI, they’re AI generated. It’s like, let’s do something with a ball and a net, that’s my internet. But can you explain the joke to me? I did, it’s just AI trying to, I have no other explanation. Yeah, first of all, how does the, how do them sun and moon? Like, I mean- Truly, truly, yeah, that’s bad. An eclipse. Oh, maybe this is part of the mystery, maybe this is the mystery. Ah. Like, why are the joke so bad? Is the mystery. See, I know, are you listening? You know, I didn’t, you know. I mean, Davin seems to get ’em. Yeah, yeah. He said he’s good with riddles. Good with riddles. What is the flavor though? Because- Oh yeah how does it taste? It tastes good. Oh see, okay, so Laffy Taffy we love the way that your product tastes, we hate your jokes, there’s a partnership here, call us. It’s going to sour apple. Oh, mine wasn’t sour apple, mine was a different color. I think that, yes, given what the answer is, it very well could be different the ones that you’re having. Yeah, try the green one. Well, both of these are green. But try to see if that tastes like sour apple to you. And then there’s a pink one, oh nope, these are all green now. I thought yours was green Link, that you opened. Yeah, I guess it was. I guess it was, so what’s the answer? The internet? It’s a similar answer to some of the other mystery flavors where it’s a swirl of two, standard Laffy Taffy flavors so I think it’s one of those, “This is what we have leftover,” type of thing, so the Laffy Taffy flavors are banana, cherry, grape, blue raspberry, strawberry, and sour apple. Altogether. The sour apple is the predominant flavor in anything you put it in. All of these Mystery Oreos are the same. Oh, okay, smells like lemon. This is a whole nother ball game, like when they do a mystery flavor, I’m pretty sure there’s different mystery flavors and this is a specific flavor that is kinda cool, is it not, doesn’t taste good though? Is it mint or lemon? I think it is lemon. It’s got lemon in it. It does not have lemon in it and does not have mint in it unless we got the wrong one somehow. Gosh, gross. Again, when you don’t know what it is, you’re like, “Ugh, this is gross.” Gimme a hint. This is a dessert item that you might find like at a fair or on the street or mixed in to an art. Churro? Yeah. It doesn’t taste like churro. Not at all, gross. Like, there’s really hardly any cinnamon. I just feel like this entire MORE is just been a, it’s just a dud. Well, not if we can get a partnership with Laffy Taffy out of it. You get your hopes up for the mystery to be something that’s surprising and instead it just kinda like. Well, you remember that idea we had, we had an idea for a TV show many years ago and it was two guys who just go into a company and just tell them everything that they’re doing wrong. It was like, we were consultants because we found ourselves doing this constantly, like criticizing other people’s choices, it was not a show there by the way. We don’t like that energy though. But I feel like that’s what we just did. Yep. We just criticized all these companies, especially Ferrara. This is like one of the longest “Good Mythical MOREs” that we do, we don’t usually go this long and I’m wondering why because I think we were still, we were looking for something to make this worth it and it never happened. I think when I said schwing, I think that- Oh yeah, that was it. I think that made it worth it. Maybe that’s when we cut it. Yeah.
