GMMore 2254: Old vs. New Lunchables Taste Test

Welcome to Good Mythical More. Sometimes there’s snacks. And then sometimes that snack puts out another version of that snack and they try to tell you that it’s better than their original snack. Yep. Or at least different. Right. And let’s decide if it’s better. We’ll decide once and for all. Let’s compare ’em. Let’s compare ’em. But first let’s tell a 10 word story. You start. Hernias. Make. Short. Boys. Think. About. Stretching. Pivotal. Noodles. Man. Yeah, I kind of. I thought we were at 10. Yeah. Let’s make it a nine word story. When you start, that means the other guy finishes. That’s one of the things about. Hey, comma man is a great way to end. That’s one of the things about even numbers. But is this true? Hernias make short boys think about stretching pivotal noodles. Man. The reason I added man is ’cause that’s the kind of thing that you would say like. Yeah man. Hernias make short boys think about stretching pivotal noodles, man. Hey Jordan, come in here. Help us out. We’re gonna be tasting some snacks. Whoa! Man. And Jordan, what have you brought with us today? I’ll get this outta your way. Oh thank you. I brought tons of snacks. Both the original version of what you know and love. Great. And then a new updated version of what the company is also making now in addition to the classic that they still make today. Okay. Yeah. They’re always trying something new in these parts. You gotta stay in the conversation. Here’s the thing though, before we have our first one I do wanna remind you that you lost the game in which means that you will be burnt by a mythical chef Josh whenever I hit that bell. You’re going to be the most difficult nursing home resident. All the nurses will hate you. Yes, chef. Yeah. That’s all you gotta say is “Yes, chef”. That’s great. Yes, Chef. Let’s try the first one. So the burns are real then? Not comedic. This is all just truthful. And Jordan, all these are are like kid marketed snacks, right? Yeah. Well you know for the most part I would say some of them are ageless. But it probably depends on who you talk to. So we got a Lunchable. We have a classic pizza Lunchable. You know it, you love it. And then we have their new upgraded Lunchables Uploaded which is a deep dish pizza. So it’s just bigger and a little thicker. I mean that’s really the main difference here. Well, we’ll find out once we eat it. See, ’cause I never. Rhett and I can half this one. You wanna try that other one? Great. You wanna bite that? So does the regular pack come with two and the uploaded comes with one? Yes. Yes. Woo that’s some sweet sauce say. So they like stacked the same things into one thing. Mhmm. I’ve never. I don’t think I ever had that. It’s like eating an uncooked pizza. Yeah that’s what I was thinking. It’s very. Is that what a Lunchable is? It’s very disgusting in a very delicious way. If that makes sense. The sauce has such a specific taste that is so quintessentially Lunchables. It’s sweet. There’s not any spiciness to it. It’s very bland. Were Lunchables around when you guys had packed? No. No. Okay. ‘Cause Jordan did you? Like I remember I could never my mom would never give me a Lunchable unless it was like a special treat and like I can taste the pizza Lunchable right now ’cause it’s so specific. Yeah, you can taste it right now if you want. We got plenty. It’s fun, right? Yeah. To assemble it as a child, I guess. Yes. These, it was so inconvenient but for whatever reason it was so important. My parents worked a lot so I would get these on nights when like my parents had to work a bunch that week. I would bring it to school. And you were the popular kid in school when you brought one of these. Yeah, you’re like assembling it right there in front of everybody. You don’t have to make it warm. It’s all about room temperature. I mean. I personally prefer the uploaded more. I think that the proportions. Why? Of the bigger one are better. And I think that the bread thickness took some of the edge off of the sweetness of the sauce. Yeah, but you get less of it. And you get less of the toppings. And it’s just the thicker, mushier cracker. I like the original better ’cause it’s more about their toppings. I think I’m somewhere in the middle because I like the pizza of the original better. Right. But looking at the pizza it just comes with the pizza versus the Uploaded comes with Cheez-its Trolli sour gummy worms, a bottle of water and a packet of fruit punch Kool-aid to make. Wow. So you become a mixologist. And I love that. You’re mixing it up right there in front of everybody. So you get a lot of stuff with it but it’s just kind of it’s kind of, it’s a bit much. Here we go. Yes, chef. You are a grown man who goes by his middle name. Yes. That is weird. It means I can never ever trust you. Yes, Chef. Wow. I didn’t know that. I just learned that just now. Hitting real close to home. Charles. Your name is Charles? Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Is that weird? That is crazy. Why is that crazy? I didn’t know that until just now. I thought your name was Link. I thought maybe it was short for Lincoln or Well, it is. Linkoi, or I don’t know. It is short for Lincoln but. Yeah, Charles Linkoi. I don’t know. I don’t know. Charles Lincoln Neal, the third. So. Wow. Okay. So it’s a middle name? So your name is a nickname for your middle name? Yeah. Wow. I’m sure everybody else knew that. Sorry. You know if you would’ve come up to me at the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert and spoke to me you would’ve known this. Could have cleared this up. We could’ve cleared it up. I feel like people need a little backstory. We were both at the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert. I was walking by. I saw Link. Link was walking the other direction. I did not see Jordan. I said, “Hey, that guy looks familiar” to my girlfriend. And she said, “That’s because that’s your boss”. And I said, “Oh”. And then by the time I turned around, Link was gone. I assume he was already at his seat jamming out eating a hot dog. But was, you know, I was there with a friend as I told you. And there was kind of a, it was kind of a crisis moment. We saw someone that we didn’t wanna see. I don’t wanna go into the details. I was about to say, are you gonna tell the story? We saw somebody we didn’t wanna see and I think it. Me. I think that was the moment when you might have seen me. But I was. Was I not in a good way? You both seemed nervous and kind of like like you were trying to decide which way to go. You know what I mean? They looked like two lost boys. My friend was talking to you and telling you the story afterward. And the way that he told. What did he say he was doing to comfort me? He said the person that they. I hate seeing people I don’t wanna see. The person that they didn’t wanna see was a person that the friend did not want to see. Not really Link. I felt bad. And Link felt bad. Because I invited him to the concert and out of all the places to see this person. Okay. There they are. And he told me the story. Our friend told me the story and said that during that moment, that Link was the one who was upset. And he said I was having to console Link and I was literally doing like this on Link. And so I had. My theory is that. I tend to get emotional. You walked by while a long-haired man who isn’t me was physically consoling Link. That is what it looked like. What I will say is I will never know if the person they didn’t wanna see was me or not. So that’s something I have to live. It wasn’t you. You say that but I don’t know. So when you told the story of not speaking to me at the concert and I said “Yeah, it was” what did you see me with a friend? It was an interesting time and you kind of soft-pedaled it. But. What, what? Now you’re saying. You’re like speaking in code at this point. You soft-pedaled it. Did I seem like I was distraught and that I shouldn’t be disturbed? You did not seem in a way where I felt comfortable to circle back and introduce you to my girlfriend. Yeah. Is, was the situation. Yeah. I don’t want you to meet my boss now because he looks upset. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It just was kind of like, oh he seems like he’s doing his own thing. I’m not. I’m just, Let’s just go. Yeah, yeah. He’s being. Yeah, you’re right. His shoulders are being rubbed by a strange man right now. Yeah. I didn’t. And I didn’t think that’s what had happened. And I was arguing with Rhett about it. No. And when our friend told me the story I was like this is a. I could totally see Link doing exactly what happened. Like you’re the one who’s supposed to be upset but Link is more upset than you and you’re having to comfort him. Oh my gosh. Okay. Yeah. You know what? You did a good thing by just keeping your distance. You looked great though. You looked. You physically looked, handsome? You physically looked great. But emotionally. Emotionally I didn’t look approachable. You looked handsome but scared. That was it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. It got better after that and the show was amazing. Incredible show. Incredible show. If you’re a fanboy like I am. I wasn’t expecting to go. I got invited last minute. It was great. Did anybody get a t-shirt at the concert? I got a tee. It kind of looks like this but it says it has the Chili Peppers on it. I’ve seen it. You’ve worn it a few times. These are Dunkaroos. Dunkaroos are back thanks to us. Yes. We demanded the Dunkaroos come back and they have. Oh. Thank you Dunkaroos. This is the original flavor, which is kind of like a vanilla with rainbow sprinkles. But now they’re also making a version with an orange cream kind of dreamsicle frosting. And it’s a little bit bigger. You get more of it. They also say this one is limited edition. So keep that in mind. There’s so little dipping sauce in the Dunkaroo What’s that. Are you? Is he over there with his own bell? Whoever told you you could pull off salt and pepper hair was lying. They just wanted you to go away. And that was the quickest option. Yes, chef. Oh God. Oh, you’re not making any friends today Josh. Yes, chef. The original is so good. But look. It looks like the nastiest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I can literally see the bottom blue part. Like that’s how little Dunkaroo juice is. It’s oily too. I wouldn’t walk up to this at a concert. Wow. Did you call that juice or cream? Oil. What did they call it? Icing. Icing. And it’s just a classic frosting. Now this stuff. I don’t why. Why would they? Why would they go with orange? Mm. Cause it taste so good. Oh man, that’s refreshing. Have Dunkaroos like what is the cookie part shaped like? It’s not shaped like anything? It’s just like a cookie? It’s a little D. It has a little D on it. Why did I think? Why did I think it was different back in the day? Did they change the cookie shape? They probably did. They probably did. Yeah. I prefer the orange. The cream is better and more plentiful. And the orange makes you feel like you might be getting a little healthy. Yeah. I’m with Rhett a hundred percent. The orange tastes exactly like a a like a, like a. Like a sherbet, push up. Ole sherbet piss. I’m still eating it. I love it. Okay. I didn’t mean to say that. Can you console me by? It’s gonna be okay. It’s gonna be okay. Just don’t, Jordan, don’t try to meet him right now. Can I ask a question? Yeah. Your name is Rhett though, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah it is. I thought I was. I said your name out loud and I was like maybe that’s not his name. That that is my name. Okay. You can call me Charles. Did it make you feel weird? My dad goes by Charles. My roommate’s name is Charles, so I think it’s good to keep you two separate in my mind. Okay. Okay. We have the classic Goldfish. Of course. Here. And the new Mega Bites Goldfish which is exactly the same but bigger is what it seems like. That being said, the color’s a little different. Rhett’s Mythical Kitchen episodes get 86, 86%. Rhett’s Mythical Kitchen episodes get 86% more views than yours. You blew it. And I think about that constantly. Yes, chef. Eighty sex. Eighty sex. Yeah. How do you feel about that? Yes. Eighty sex. That’s right. Yes, chef. Eighty sex. I do not wanna be here anymore. It’s just so strange. You know, I just didn’t want. Excuse my reach. I didn’t want him to have a bad time. I understand. But I was the one having a bad time because I was scared about him having a bad time. And he was like, “Listen, I’m not having a bad time”. “I can handle this”. You were. I get that. You wanted him to be having a bad time though. No. I. Okay. Not to. Let me. I just. I get it because I have very bad anxiety so I get very worried about other people having a nice time, enjoying something. So I think maybe that’s where you’re coming from? That is definitely where he’s coming from. Especially when it’s my doing. Yeah. I feel like I’m in charge. Now they give you a size comparison there. Isn’t that nice? Yeah. I can show too. Are they sharper? Hmm. I think these are bigger and have more flavor. I like ’em better. I like the big ones better as well. Me too. Yeah. The consistency’s better. The crispiness is better. And they are. I mean it is a sharp cheddar versus a cheddar which might be throwing us off a little bit. Sure. And we got Under the Bridge, you know? Half the time they don’t play Under the Bridge. Oh. Yeah. I had no clue what you meant. I thought you were talking about the goldfish. You know. It’s where I drew some blood. Under the bridge downtown. Sure. Could not get enough. The thing is, Jordan got pulled in. Jordan’s not a huge Chili Peppers fan. I got free tickets to the concert last minute. Day of I got free tickets to the concert. These are lyrics. And I gathered that as you kept doing it. But I, at first, I didn’t know. Cause I, you know. I think hey great music. I had a great time at the concert. Yeah. But I just, you know, not my not my number one favorite musical group. Yeah. Right. Rhett hates them for some reason. I do not hate the Chili Peppers. Okay. What is this? Classic Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie. Now we have their new version, the snicker doodle cream pie. Oh snap. So that’s the situation. I didn’t know that existed. Hmm. They didn’t play Aquatic Mouth Dance. Okay. But I really didn’t expect them to. Okay. I mean the fact that a band can sincerely have a song called Aquatic Mouth Dance. I was about to say I didn’t know if that was a joke or a real song title. Yeah. That’s when you know it’s a Chili Peppers song. Okay. I’d definitely rather hear a song called Aquatic Mouth Dance. Yeah. Than to watch an aquatic mouth dance. Hmm. You know what I’m saying? Well depends on who’s involved. I think I disagree. Mm. Wow. Those are both very good. I need to go back. I’m just eating the oatmeal cream pie ’cause it’s so delicious. This is, it’s cinnamon-y snicker doodle-y. Snicker doodle! But it’s not. It’s a little too cinnamon-iny. Yeah. It’s not as good as the classic. No way. Not even close to being as good. All right. Let’s see what. Hey. Lose much? Got him. Yes, chef. This is good but it tastes like a totally different thing to me. And this, this coating, this cookie. So unique. So delicious that I miss it when I’m eating this. The original is better. Classic. Classic. Yeah. No reason to upgrade on this situation. Okay. Wait. Oh. I’ll eat it later. Got it. Okay. What’s your middle name, Jordan? Lee. Jordan Lee. Have you ever thought about going by that? No. I like Jordan. What’s your favorite kind of jeans? What about? My favorite kind of jeans? Yeah. Lee. Okay. Lee. I thought you were gonna. I thought you wanted me to say Jordache to be honest with you. Whoa. You could wear Jordache or Lee. There you go. ‘Cause you have to wear jeans that sound like one of your names. That’s true. I know what’s going on here. What’s it called? Smucker’s Uncrustables. Do you? I know what’s going on here. The moment I was about to say crustable all I was thinking about was snackable and then Lunchable. Yeah. So these are Smucker’s Uncrustables. Smucker’s Uncrustables. We have the classic peanut butter and grape jelly. And then they’re new hazelnut. So kinda like an Nutella sort of approach? Yes. Did you do these? ‘Cause this seems like the kind of thing you would’ve done. I did it at home myself. Mm. You de crusted it at home? But I love these. Hazelnuts? So it’s still chocolate flavored. Oh, it’s like Nutella but they don’t wanna name it. Mhmm. And there’s nothing else in there? No. Which I think is probably gonna be its fatal flaw. Because what would it have in there? Peanut butter? Strawberry jam? Nutella and strawberry jam sounds good to me. You don’t want peanut butter with Nutella ’cause it’s already got, it’s already a hazelnut. Yeah, you’re right, you’re right. Hmm. You ain’t gonna beat the original. I like it. It’s like this is dinner and this is dessert. I agree. That’s a healthy square meal. They don’t really compete. I agree. I have to eat my words. This is the most delicious thing in the entire world. It’s great. But it’s not an improvement. It’s an expansion. I agree. James and The Shame made me hate country music more than I already did. I know that’s not for you. But it was written down on a card and I thought it was really, really funny. And also like 8% true. Yes, chef. Okay. Thank you for not having the talent to launch a solo musical career and ruin a genre for me. Yes, chef. Yeah. Oh gosh. Yes, chef. That one took a real hard left turn right at the end. Yeah. I was, I was excited. I was excited. I thought, I thought I’d taken a break. I think it’s good it’s just not my speed. Caught a break is what they should call it. Just not my speed. Okay. I’m gonna set this aside. That’s so good, right? I’m doing my own thing over here. This is delicious. You should have this. This is the takeaway. Yeah. Take these away. You should try it, but it’s not better. Okay. I agree. Now you got a whole article over there on Sporked about the best ingredients for s’mores. No, they have half an article. Well sometimes they do a half article. It’s called a little halvsies article. It takes half the time to read. But this is a full article about the best chocolate the best marshmallows and the best graham crackers. Yeah. Which are all the ingredients to S’mores, Link. There you go. Check it out. Well there’s, there’s, there’s I just wanna clarify that there’s multiple articles. There’s articles about all those individual ingredients.
