Welcome to Good Mythical More. We are gonna try to match the snack,… or food item to the reason why it was banned… in another country. Totally fine Here in America though. Yeah, we’re good with it. Hmm. Prepare to be disturbed, schooled, and invited. You’re invited. But first… in celebration of the Mythical Society’s fourth anniversary, society members voted for the charity on the wheel of mythicality. And the society will donate $1,000 to… Black Women for Wellness to aid in their mission to be committed to the health and wellbeing of black women, and girls through health, education, empowerment, and advocacy. And you also can join us in giving at bwwla.org Bwla.org. Okay, thank you for being your mythical best. So let, let’s, let’s read through what these reasons could be associated with the things that they might… be associated with. Okay, so, um,… this seems pretty innocuous, because so many things contain an ingredient associated with heart disease. So, I would think that would be saturated fat probably, or a certain, maybe trans fat. I don’t know. But there’s not really, there’s not trans fat anymore in any American stuff either. ‘Cause isn’t it banned here now? I think, I don’t know, but… I don’t know. So this is a country where they’re really, really laying down the law. And so, Stevie, you know the countries, obviously. [Stevie] Yes. And then you’re going tell us… I have more information. I’m gonna give you so much information after you… I just, I, I kinda… But you don’t wanna tell us the, what country this is now? Um, a lot of these are multiple countries. Okay, okay. So, for that one in particular, there’s a hearty list, I would say. Okay. All right, contains ingredients linked to inhibition of cell development. That’s, that sounds more dangerous. That sounds like something happening… Is that like… on like a DNA level. Or is that like, don’t eat this if you’re pregnant? I would think that it’s the cell development of you, the person who’s eating the thing. That’s, that’s my guess. Okay. That, that sounds troublesome. Do I, I didn’t know that I still had still had cells that were developing. I thought I, I mean, I know I’m regenerating cells, but I didn’t know they were developing. I mean… Well, how do you think… Well, I mean… They’re just replicating, but they’re not developing. That’s something that happens… Well, what do you think replication is, a new cell being made from another cell. Yeah, but I… That’s cell development. No, cell development is like, oh, it’s, it’s diff… cell differentiation, it’s like creating a human from an embryo. No, I don’t know. Well,… “Contained a flame retardant.” So I guess at one point contained a flame retardant. And something was banned, because it was a, “Legal Dispute Over Registered Trademark.” Ooo. Well, the first thing that I know is that… Like M&Ms in another country… I could put out… being something else. I could put out out a fire with either Mountain Dew, or Lipton Tea. Right. So that, so that would be a flame retardant. So water? – Yeah, yeah. It contains… water. We don’t have that in… I’d hate to be in that country; water is banned. Uh,… Flame retardant… Let’s start with heart disease. So it’s gotta be… Ritz crackers,… Reese’s,… or m&ms… Which one one has the most saturated fat? Which… So this one has… per 140 calories three and a half grams of saturated fat. It only has… It has less than five milligrams of cholesterol. What do you have over there? Um,… zero milligrams of cholesterol. How much saturated fat? 1.5 grams in an 80 calorie serving. So m&ms… Five crackers… more. Um, whoa, whoa, whoa, now we got four, and a half. Yeah. Peanut butter, man. Yeah, but isn’t that good fat? Oh, oh, no, it says trans fat zero. But I mean, the versions that were outlawed might, might have been a little bit different. You know? You’re right. Are we looking too far into this? Are we trying too hard? Never been accused of that. Where would they banning Reese’s? Speaking of trying too hard, Lando told me that today is running day for him. So, I, I’m just, I’m sending love, and good thoughts,… and prayers… Is that something at school, or is that a holiday? to my son Lando, today, participating in running day. Like the running the mile? Yeah. To time it? Yep, running a mile, they’re timing it. Yeah. And they have to do it a lot more than we had to do. Is that part of the presidential challenge; are they still doing that? No, nope. Biden, he doesn’t issue any physical challenges to anybody, because he doesn’t wanna be a hypocrite. You know? You’re right. He rides bikes. Does he? Yeah. Sidecar? He rode a bike at one point. Running day… He did fall off of it. A lot of running… I think they do it every month. He did, he he was riding it up until the point he fell off it. They do it every month. And if you miss running day, you gotta make it up. You gotta run all by yourself in a circle. On, on the weekend? No, while everybody else is doing good stuff, like Foursquare, or something. I like that. I think there should be more punitive stuff like that. I like the fact that they have running day, like, every month. You know? You remember that time we ran a mile in a really tight circle in the… in the… old studio? That was horrible. It was horrible. It really got to my left leg. I mean, it was like you’re just running a circle in this amount of space. And it was like we had to switch directions, because my,… my right knee going clockwise really started to hurt. I think this has gotta be Reese’s, right? Yeah, I agree with that. Cell development,… this has gotta be something that has got some weird stuff in it. Froot Loops has like, has like colorings to the loops. Good, that’s a really good call. Well, and keep in mind, y’all, that you have more, you have more products than you have labels. Of course, of course. We’re keeping everything in mind. Yeah, we know these things. Oh. We’re taking everything into account. But we know for a fact that Mountain Dew has color too, but Froot Loops has more color. So, I think that probably makes more sense. Hmmm. Mountain Dew, yellow number five… But this has like probably red, and yellow, and… Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s got red five. What’s amarillo? What color is that? Well, it’s in Texas. “Amarillo five, azul one,…” That’s blue one. “amarillo six,…” Oh, it also has BHT. This has gotta be it. It has bht, BHT. Um,… “Contained a Flame Retardant.” If you couldn’t… I feel like Ritz. Oh, you think you could put friers out with the Ritz? “Friers.” I don’t know, maybe it’s flammable. I feel like… Does it say caution flammable anywhere on this? I feel like it might be like ironic, like a sun chip. Why do they call ’em Sun Chips, ’cause it’s hot. ‘Cause they’re so hot. You know? And it’s like, well actually, no… Why do they call ’em sun chips? They’re not hot. You can throw on that the surface of the sun, and they will just be unfazed, because of that whole grain. Well, let’s look at the ingredients. A hundred percent whole grain. Oh, it’s, it can’t be this. These only have whole corn, sunflower, canola oil,… whole wheat, brown rice flour, whole oat flour, sugar, and salt. It can’t be these. There’s nothing in there to,… Mmmm. to stop a flame. There’s leavening ingredients in the Ritz. Like, uh,… It’s gotta be something… baking soda. It’s gotta be the another chemically thing. I think it’s the Mountain Dew. I think it’s the Mountain Dew. That contains a flame retardant? Well this just acesulfa… acesulfame potassium, uh, calcium disodium,… eyoda or EDTA,… The thing’s got Yoda? sodium polyphosphates,… Got some Yoda in it. You know, when he died he just went.. Y’all are doing such a good job reading these ingredients. And I feel like you deserve, like, compliments,… Oh, yes. because of it. You know what, Rhett, I want to give you a compliment. And, and how did these compliments come about? Could you… They were written in English. They were, they were gone, they were translating into another language, and then they were translated from that language back into English. Yep. Fun. Rhett, I just wanna tell you,… well, Ryan, I just want to tell you,… Yes? “You are high, and beefy. Your face hairs are pretty,… and you know good food around space.” Well, thanks, man. That means a lot. “…high, and beefy. Your face hairs are pretty, and you know good food around space.” You wanna know where, what that was translated from, Ryan? Yes. “Rhett,…” I can’t believe they translated your name. Oh, that happens quite a bit. “Rhett, you’re big and strong.” I’m Ryan on my passport. Big and strong was high and beefy. With a very luscious beard, your face hairs are pretty. And a great knowledge of food around the world, you know good food around space. Yeah, just the space of the world. You’re welcome. You’re welcome would be appropriate at this point,… or I guess thank you. I said thank you. Yeah, and now say you’re welcome too. Are you talking to yourself again? I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Every day, man. And it’s getting worse. Every day, what do you mean every day? Every day what? Every day you’re Link. No,… this is a particularly off day. Oh, okay. – Or maybe… You’re right. an on day. You’re right, you’re right. Gary,… Gary? Yeah, that’s weird. Psych! Gary,… It’s just says Link. Oh. And because that’s your name I had to say something else. Okay, okay, okay. That was good. Well, thanks. That’s a highlight of The More… You’re welcome. right there. You’re welcome would be nice, wouldn’t it? You’re welcome. “Link, you have very… volumannes, volunimous, voluminous, volumous, voluminos,… lips… voluminous hair,… Oh. big glasses, sport,… and you always know how interesting you are.” Ding, ding, ding! Oh, okay. It was translated from… I always know how interesting I am. “Link, you have very voluminous hair.” How do you actually say that word? Voluminous. Voluminous. That’s why I’m saying it so fast, ’cause I don’t know that word. Gary,… You’re welcome. “voluminous hair,… great glasses, game,… and you always… Not according to everybody. and you know always know how to make things interesting.” You know, Link, here’s what I think about… Always know how to make thing interesting? I, I think that… Thank you. You’re, if you’re not making,… High and beefy… if you’re not making polarizing choices,… you’re not making good choices. That’s my personal opinion on that. What, what? On your glasses. Oh. You know what I’m saying? Like, if everybody’s over it, let’s not bring up the glasses. No, but you… By this point no one’s talking about it anymore. But you just said it. You said, “Not everybody.” I know, but it was a little, like a little quip. Gary, come on, Gary. Listen, I’m, I’m trying, I’m trying to help you out here. I’m just saying, that the fact that there is a contingent of people who don’t like your glasses, is proof that you made a good decision. Not the right decision. There’s no right, or wrong. I’m bring people to points of decision. You made a good decision. I’m like an evangelist. Yeah. I’m like a traveling evangelist. That’s right. And what do you say? What do you say, Link? You’re welcome. You’re welcome. You’re welcome. And finally, “Legal dispute over registered trademark.” Ritz,… this looks like it could be… Nobody wants Ritz. Trademark is a logo. Am I right? Kellogg’s been around a while. I don’t know. M&Ms, m&ms, like two m’s in another country. Someone had already scooped that up. I think you’re on the right track. In an, in an English speaking country though. I think you’re on the right track with it being misinterpreted somewhere else. It’s not gonna be Lipton, it’s not gonna be Mountain Dew. We already know… M&Ms… M&Ms is a great guess. Ritz might mean, uh, Ritz might mean something else in a different word. Like what do you, when you’re putting on the Ritz in France, what are you doing? Um,… And I could see,… exactly. Sun Chips… I don’t know. Sun Chips,… We’re leaving these out. doesn’t seem like anybody would. We’re leaving these out. It feels, Sun Chips feels like if you violate this copyright, or trademark, no one cares. And they’d be like, okay, whatever. But the fact that someone in another country had taken… That’s a more recent product. You know? So, and I bet Sun Chips didn’t go global until,… you know, in more recent times. And it’s since the sun is a, is a universal phenomenon… Can’t own that. Okay, you… It seems like someone would’ve named some chips Sun Chips in another land. So, I’m voting for Sun Chips, not m&ms. Oh. No, don’t. You know, you’re right. Almost, but I didn’t. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no m&ms was right, bro. Well I was about to say, you’ve done surprisingly well, ’cause you actually have three of the four correct. There’s one thing that you chose that you both really like, that thankfully is wrong. Yep. ♪ Ritz goes here ♪ ♪ Ritz goes here ♪ So, Stevie, before you tell us the answer, allow us to promote the Mythical Society anniversary. We’re still celebrating it during the entire month of February. Any purchase of third degree annual plan will receive your choice of a past 2022 quarterly item, while supplies last. So, if, if you missed out on something from last year, and you really want it, you want that record, you want that U2s, you want that… Is it the blanket? I can’t remember. …or, and the comic book,… you can, now is your chance. MythicalSociety.com, all right? You’re welcome. Uh, I… Do you have the stuff, these things over here for consumption? ‘Cause I just had an idea that as we’re hearing whether or not we’re right, or wrong, that I want to,… K.G.,… – I would like to try. K.G. can hook you up. You know what just, just, just bring a Ritz, and a Reese’s,… just a Ritz, and a Reese’s. I just looked at ’em. I got an idea. Maybe this has never been done before. Maybe this is a thing that people do all the time. Hold on! Link, Gary, take a Ritz, set it on top of a Reese’s,… and tell me that they don’t look like they were made for each other. Oh my goodness. I just realized they were the same size. You’re welcome. I’ll try that. Hmm. Look at that. You would think all I had was a Ritz. You know, you would think I had a Ritz until I walked past you, and turned the corner. You’d think I just had a Reese cup. Oh, he’s got… What does that guy have? And what does that guy have? A Reese cup with a Ritz, a Ritz topped Reese cup. We got to come up with a name for it. A Ritz cup? No. A Ritzeese’s cup. A Ritzed Reese. A Reese, Ritzedee. I like Ritzeese’s Ritzeese’s cup. Danke. Sink in. Good Lord,… Rhett,… This is better when, better than when Justin Timberlake put a blueberry inside a raspberry. Yeah, dude. Remember that? It’s like the decadent internet boy version. Can we go viral for this? Well, you got to come up with a… Y’all try to make it go viral. better name, better name. Look at that. Oh, man. That’s pretty good. A Ritzeese’s cup. And by pretty good, I mean jaw droppingly good. Yeah, ’cause it’s like more butter and crisp on top of what was a, like, just a sweet savory thing that was already happening inside the, the Reese’s cup. It kind of gives it a Twix experience. You know? Turns a Reese cup into, ’cause it adds the… It’s, it’s a cracker, not a cookie, but it gives it that crunch. Oh, man, that was a… Dang, son. That was an inspirational thing that just happened. Dang, son. Well, we better register that trademark. Yep. Would you like me to give you information now? Yes. Okay. So, Ritz crackers, correct, banned several European countries like Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Iceland, Norway, and Denmark for containing hydrogenated cotton seed oil,… Oh! a trans fat associated with cardiovascular diseases. FDA has actually deemed these types oils to be not generally recognized as safe. But I will say in Ritz’s defense,… here on the nutrition facts, it says, “Zero grams trans fat.” And it does not say cotton seed oil on it. However,… They fixed, they fixed that. How,… Well, however, what I know some things about, uh,… nutritional facts, and you can, if it’s under a certain amount, you can say zero. It’s like you remember the, the spray butter that was popular like, you know, 15 years ago. I guess some people still use it, but it was fake. And it was spray butter, and it said zero calories. So people thought that they could just eat it. Well it was zero calories, because one spray didn’t really register. But if you just took the whole thing, and put it all over a piece of bread, it actually registered. So, I don’t know if that’s the case with these, or not. Yeah, it says certain loopholes allow them to continue to be used in products. Yes. Fruit Loops banned in Norway, France, Finland, and Austria for the artificial coloring, which has been linked to inhibition of cell development. Several other U.S. cereals are banned through the European Union in Japan for using preservatives that have carcinogenic properties. Did you figure out what cell development was? No. It, I believe, I a hundred percent believe Link’s definition of anything… So it’s just… including cell development. embryonic cell development? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you don’t have to believe me every time but I’m not high and beefy. I will say… That’s true, that’s true. Mountain Dew banned in the European Union in Japan, because it contained brominated vegetable oil,… a flame retardant. BVO was removed from Mountain Dew in 2020, 6 years after PepsiCo actually announced they’d removed it. Ooo. Yikes. And m&ms banned by a judge from selling in Sweden, because the m is too similar to the logo for Marabou, a brand that sells chocolate covered peanuts. Oh, my… Oh, snap. Oh, so it’s the m! Yeah, it’s the logo. So they just completely banned it. And it’s the same thing. Well it is, but once you kind of start really looking at the m, like it’s not… No, it’s the same product. Milk chocolate coated peanuts. Yeah, but… Which is kind of crazy. No. I don’t, I just, I, I think, I think this… One m… It’s one m. The m’s a little bit different. It’s not, they’re not different colors. They don’t have m’s on ’em. Let’s challenge this. It’s kind of funny though. Can we do that right after we go viral with our new creation? Let’s challenge this lawsuit. It’s gonna be a busy day. Join the Mythical Society as a third degree annual member, and receive a past 2022 quarterly item while supplies last.
