What’s up? It’s your boys. We’re doing more of it. Welcome to Good Mythical More. I like that, hey, good intro, man. We’re going to eat some It’s your boys. We’re going to eat some nasty stuff that the team over at Sporked rejected. But first They were like, “Blah!” But first we’re going to List ‘Em All. We’re gonna list spices. Cumin. Oregano. Cinnamon. Parsley. Red pepper. Garlic powder. Italian seasoning. I know you told me that wasn’t a spice, but it’s a collection of spices. Onion powder. Garlic powder. Smoked paprika. Barbecue rub. I already said garlic powder. Well, then I lost. Didn’t I? ♪ Gotta List ‘Em All. ♪ Everybody’s like, “I wasn’t listening” You were just listing spices, why would I listen to that? Palumbo! Bo! Come on in, man. Tarragon. Hey. Cardamom pods. You know what? Pods? We wouldn’t have gotten to any of those. The little pods. You talking about a Keurig? Yeah. You can make a cardamon You can put a cardamon pod right in your Keurig. Yeah. All right. I’m gonna put this here so we don’t block the other stuff. Oh, Ezekiel bread. Yeah. I come bearing horrible- Interesting story behind this bread. Horrible gifts. We’ll get to it. Yeah. So a nice line-up of bad things we tried this month. And then one good thing. You try so many things though. We do. And then you tell people what to buy that’s worth it. Yeah, and it’s surprising. I learned a lot. I learned something new yesterday. I learned that Starbursts makes great gum. The gum is great. Starbursts gum? Yeah. It’s good. Oh. So how often when you just get into, when you’re getting to know somebody at a gathering, party, or something like that, they started asking you about what you do and then how quickly does it get to I just eat a lot of different things all day and and write about them, and talk about them? Do you drop our name? I do. Yeah. I say yeah, ’cause I say- How does that do? Good? I don’t think, you know what? I don’t think my friends know. They’re like Mythical, what is that? But then I say Rhett and Link and they know. Okay, so we have a branding issue. We have a brand issue. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it might be, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. We’re working on it. Okay. Yeah. Using, using our name for your- But there’s a lot of chip tables, there’s a lot of, you know what I mean? You go to like a party or something and it’s all there. And I’m just loaded with things to say. And I have to stop myself because at some point I probably do get annoying. I’m like, actually this isn’t good, you want this one. But the funny thing is it’s just way less annoying than somebody like a sommelier, like somebody who like really knows a whole lot about like wine. You know what I’m saying? But is it annoying to you? Like, you know how when people work in TV and film and then they just can’t watch something in the same way. Is it like that for you in snacks now? Where you like go to these tables and you’re like, oh, I used to enjoy the spreads and now I can’t. I’m so thankful that it isn’t. Actually, it’s not. And, and I think it’s just because- You love your job? I love my job. You would never quit. I would never quit. I would never quit. And I am so thankful to be here and working in food media. I’ve been working around food since I’ve been 15. So there’s no- We love you. Thank you so much! No matter what. No matter what? No matter what. It’s just like I tell my kids, “We love you no matter what.” No matter what. That’s great because I have stolen so much toilet paper from your place. Wow! I’m kidding, I’m kidding. No. That’s what we pay you in. We do have two-ply here. We should do this. Can you pass a couple of spoons down this way? Sure. What do you guys gonna start with? Gravy. Gravy? Just because it’s here. I’m gonna be honest. I actually haven’t tried that one. Oh. But you know that the team thought it was- I was out of the office and everyone assured me that it’s bad. It looks like- Look what’s going on with it. Oh my God. We just had gravy spoons touching and a stream between them. Yeah. Palumbo, you didn’t heat it up? Listen, somebody’s gonna get pregnant if we don’t- If we don’t watch out. Bring Patty back in here. How is it? I’m a big fan of gravy. They wronged gravy Man, that’s not gravy. It’s not? What is this? How’s it so gelatinous? Home style, roasted turkey, value size? There’s 50% more of this crap in here. This could be training for something though. Yeah. So we think it’s bad? Like American Ninja Warrior? No, if you can eat this, you can move on to other things. Let’s not. I know. I know what you were thinking. I didn’t have to explain it to Stevie. I saw you thinking about it before you said it. Yeah. Well I’ve moved on. It’s an acquired taste. Mac & cheese, Banquet Mac & Cheese. You can own that for yourself. Can you pass us some more spoons? Do you want a spoon or a fork? I would like a fork because I’m gonna eat mac & cheese, man. Oh, but you know what this a controversial thing. I’m gonna give you a fork. You wanted a fork? No. I want a fork. You want a fork? I wanted a spoon. Okay. Now we like a lot of Banquet’s products. Their turkey pot pie ranked very high for us. I think maybe even number one in the pot pie competition. I see cheese, but I don’t taste it. I’m trying to make sure that this isn’t the sleeper and I don’t think it is because it tastes like the kind of mac and cheese you would have while camping. That you had to throw some water in and you needed salt for it. I’ll just tell you, you’re right. It’s not the sleeper. Yeah, that’s bad. And I think I have a problem with like baked mac & cheese. I like the stove top stuff. It’s like, not to be all gross, but it’s wet. I like it. I like the mac and cheese when it’s a little bit wet. That sound that it makes when you- Yes. The sound is- wait, what does it sound like? No, that’s it. No, I’d prefer not to hear that. Here’s what I’ll say about this. Okay. 49% Of your sodium, so 1,120 milligrams happens in this one box, but it tastes like it doesn’t have enough salt in it. Which is scary to me. That is. How can you have so much salt but tastes so flavorless? It’s gonna be okay. I don’t think I’m gonna make it through this. You’re gonna be safe. It looks very sad. Don’t to keep eating. It almost looks like corn. It looks bad. It does look like corn, man. Look at it, it kind of looks like corn. You could think it was corn. You could think it was corn. In the dark. If it was a little darker in here. A hundred percent, you would be like, “is that orange corn?” Yeah, right. That might be be corn. So then you brought in the Ezekiel. Ezekiel- Tell us about that, Rhett has a story. Ezekiel- No, it’s not a story it’s the brand is very interesting because it’s like a biblical, based on- A Bible verse, yeah. What people ate at a certain time in like the history, the Hebrew history. Like Kim Kardashian and the Bible? Wait, explain that. Can you explain your joke that you just made? She tweets Bible verses. Does she? No, no, no. Carl’s Jr. does. Yeah, right. I was very confused for a second. Remember that? That was still today, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That happened. Just a second ago. This is a solid brick. This is a football. Can I hold it? Oh yeah, for sure. Of course you can hold it. Because we’ve had Ezekiel bread in our house a lot of times because the sprouted grain. Let me get a little. They have some, you know, I don’t really think it’s necessarily true, but there’s some idea around- Well first of all- Well we know how you feel about the Bible now. As described in the holy scripture verse, “Take also unto thee wheat and barley and beans and lentils and millet and spelt and put them in one vessel and make bread of it.” Ezekiel 4:9. And that is what all Ezekiel 4:9 bread is, is those ingredients put together. Plus raisins and cinnamon. Then you can add other things. Don’t they say they cook it over like a dung fire or something though. Isn’t that in the- Yeah, right. It’s like poop. That’s a good point. In the Bible? I think so. Okay. Things got really rough for a few of the prophets. It’s a loose quote. And they started, a few of the prophets started using their own dung to cook stuff with. Yeah. I’m gonna be honest- Stevie knows. Yeah, yeah, sure. The prophets, and their dung fires. It’s a little better toasted. I like this. It’s a little- I think this could to be the sleeper. I don’t. It’s not. But we’re gonna reserve the right. The thing about Ezekiel is that they’re part of the anti-design, so buy me, you know, vertical. It’s like the design is so bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There’s almost no design. So is it good? you know that whole like- Like Dr. Bronner’s or whatever it is? Yeah. Yeah. It’s like there’s way too much text here. I don’t think they’re doing that on purpose, Stevie. I don’t think they’re doing it on purpose either, I just think you’re tricked into thinking they don’t care that much about design, so they probably care more about the bread. They’re designing what they think is good and it ends up being good for reasons that they don’t appreciate. But now people design things to make them look like they’re not good, they’re doing it on purpose, but that’s what she’s talking about. But not them? But not them. But not them. Which is why I’m disagreeing with her. She doesn’t think that they did it on purpose. Well listen, I know she went to Syracuse. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No Stevie, you’re smart. I always like to drop it in every con- people are always so impressed. Syracuse, really? It’s like wow, you must have been cold. So we’re gonna reserve the right to come back to the sleeper. Okay. Well I think that’s the sleeper right now. It’s just that somehow I have a clean spoon. Halo Top Creamery macadamia nut cookie. Keto. ‘Squito. Yeah. ‘Squito! I’m gonna see if there- Okay, I was seeing that there was another thing that was in here, but it’s all just white. Is there something I’m supposed to be finding, other than this straight up ice cream? I can’t remember if there is actually, there should be macadamia nuts in there, but I don’t- They sunk to the bottom. But I don’t see any, it just looks like Italian ice. It’s very- Yeah, there’s no, oh my gosh. It’s like flakes. Oh, there’s a macadamia nut. Yep. You got one? It was hidden in there. What a consistency. It looks like caulk, like you’re scraping caulk. It has an unbelievably- Off the edge of your sink. You know, sometimes. It has an unbelievable chalk-like consistency Chalk or caulk? Chalk or caulk, I don’t care. Oh my god! This is the worst thing ever! I’m so fascinated by it. I can’t stop eating it. Oh my god. It’s like eating feathers. Yeah, oh yeah, that’s good. Yeah, it is. It’s so freaking I feel like it’s a breakthrough, Light and airy and flakey, It’s like eating soap that tastes okay. Is it a breakthrough or is it eating feathers? because it can’t be both. Can we- Wait. Is it really eating feathers? Because that sounds really cool and I wanna try it. It doesn’t feel cold. It’s so strange. I can’t stop eating it. It’s flakey, it’s airy, it’s- It doesn’t taste bad, it’s just- Not ice cream. The weirdest feeling in my mouth. It’s a totally different thing. It should not be marketed- As ice cream? It doesn’t look really good. I don’t think it will melt ever. I think we can leave it out and tomorrow it would just be just like that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean it contains milk. It does contain milk. Yes, but it’s keto, so low sugar, low carbs, you know. I can’t explain it. What is keto? We need to send that up in a space with the astronauts. You guys wanna try some- The ones the ones that are never coming back? Yeah, just the one-way trip. Well this is in a similar vein, powdered peanut butter. Now I do powdered peanut butter bagels. You do? I do PB two or PB-whatever-it-is. What’s that? It’s the same thing, but it’s like not a Great Value brand. Okay. And I don’t make it into peanut butter like this. I’ve done that a couple of times just for kicks, but I throw it into a smoothie. I think it is- “Thow” it? “Thow” it into a smoothie. I “thow” it into a smoothie. “Thow.” You really nailed the consistency here. He didn’t do this. I didn’t do this. It’s all Mythical Kitchen, baby! I can’t make peanut butter. What do I even do? Bad? Is that bad? God, it’s so bad. It’s bad. It tastes taste very much like, you know you get those peanuts that have the skin still on ’em. Like when you get the peanuts that have the red skin still on ’em. Yes! They’re more bitter, it’s made out of those peanuts. Only the red skins. I don’t think it’s that bad because of that. It’s like we’re- I actually wanna try it a little bit. Huh? But the reason I throw it in my smoothies because it gives you- It’s so bad. It gives you a peanut butter flavor without as much fat. Not this one though. This doesn’t taste as good as PB2. And well it is very low fat, low calorie. Like by drying it, it like takes out a lot of the oil, but still like maintains the protein. So it is like a very healthy food. But typically not to be enjoyed alone. I don’t think so. But are all of these things things that we would expect to see ranked at Sporked for the good versions? Like is there a ranking of- Powdered peanut butter? Powdered peanut butter. A hundred percent. There’s a ranking for powdered peanut butter, ranking for cinnamon raisin bread. Oh. Ranking for frozen mac and cheese, ranking for jarred or canned gravy. I love that. Jarred gravy? Jarred, canned. Or canned. I think it was canned. Well that’s a jar right there. That’s a jar right there. So what was the best one? It sounds like you weren’t familiar with the PB3 or whatever he said? PB2? PB1? No, no, no. Well this was, this was a taste test headed up by Jordan. Okay, yeah. You can’t shoulder it all. No, this is another one I didn’t try. Sometimes somebody at work will be like, “Hey do you wanna try this disgusting thing?” And I’m like, “No, I’m good.” I’ll just feed it to Rhett and Link. I’ll just take your word for it. And that happened here, yeah. So you don’t know what was number one, but you can find out at Sporked. I did do this taste test. I’m perplexed now because at this point I don’t think we’ve tasted the sleeper now, and that by process of elimination it would be this one, but I don’t know. Sour cream and onion. All tastes no guilt. So what are they doing here? What are they getting rid of? The guilt. Yeah. No guilt. Just live your life, man. That’s what it says. I mean I do think they make chips with guilt. Like it has to be in there. Yeah. Oh for sure. It has to be in there. Yeah. Because I feel such that way, when I eat them from the top to the bottom of the bag. Lay’s, full guilt. Full guilt. I like these. Baked guilt. Sleeper. Are we snapping? Sleeper, baby. It tastes like a Pringle. It tastes just like a Pringle. But maybe better. Does it taste just like a Pringle, though? No, there’s something, there’s an aftertaste that’s horrible. Stop eating them. No, just the one that you’ve already eaten, think about that one later. No, you gotta keep eating. If you keep eating, then you’re gonna be fooled. I don’t think this is the sleeper because there’s that aftertaste. It’s my favorite of everything I ate. The only other thing that could be it, is the bread. Well there’s no guilt, right? So it is pretty good if you keep eating them. How do we feel about the onion flavor? It’s strong. It’s very accurate. It’s very strong. But I like that. I’m going back. I think this is the sleeper. It’s very good. Rhett, what do you think? I’m trying to read your mind at this point. Okay, so I’m gonna take myself out completely of trying to anticipate what you guys did and like try to read into your tone and body language. Which is pretty chill. This gravy is awful. Definitively the gravy is awful. Definitively this doesn’t have enough flavor. Right. Raisin bread is something I don’t really like that much, but if I ate that I wouldn’t think that I was having bad raisin bread. I would just be like I’m having raisin bread, not my favorite thing. This is a scientific wonder. The ice cream. Taste incredible- I would call it a conundrum. But it is like eating feathers. That was a great thing. This peanut butter tastes like those red peanuts, which if you like those red peanuts, it tastes very much like peanuts. And so if I had to guess, I would say that the powdered peanut butter is your sleeper. But my sleeper. He just popped up. But my sleeper for real is the chips because I’m still liking them. Me too. Yeah. The sleeper is the chips. We gotcha! Specifically because the onion flavor is so strong, we actually prefer these to Pringles. Pringles just have like a weird- we think Pringles have- I agree. I agree. A weirder aftertaste and these are like sort of a healthier- and there’s also a better crunch. I did like a bunch of side-by-sides just like 20 in a row. That’s it, man. It’s a good chip, man. There’s a better crunch. It has an aftertaste, but you’re right, Pringles does too, so there you go. Minus the guilt, same aftertaste. It’s a winner. I will say what we figured out as a team, I think this is way better when it sits out for a little bit, when it’s completely frozen, you’re actually not getting the texture that y’all were getting. It’s much more hard. It’s not like quite as soft and fluffy. So you kind have to like let it get like a- Let it sit out for a little bit. Like melt? It’s weird. They made it out of something weird. Just like a little bit. Ezekiel bread, I will say that I had this cinnamon raisin bread when it wasn’t toasted and it was pretty bad. Oh. You gotta toast it. That helped a little bit. But still in our rankings, I think Sunmaid was number one. Just because it was like so jam-packed with raisins, and like very sweet, very delicious. There’s a lot of other stuff in there that’s not necessarily good tasting And there’s a lot of other rankings, like we said, at Sporked. Sour cream and onion chips. It’s one of my favorite. Cereals for kids, cake frosting. See their rankings. Best of the best that you can get at the grocery store. sporked.com. So you know, we’ll always love you. Thank you. Wow. That was good. That was so heartfelt I gotcha. I could tell you meant it. For more strong food opinions from Danny and the team, head over to sporked.com.
