Welcome to “Good Mythical More.” After all of that Doritos worship, now it’s time to get some Doritos knowledge. So we’re gonna learn some trivia about Doritos. It’s gonna make you see those bags of triangular goodness in a totally different way. But first, let’s tell a story. Doritos. Kill. Lays. When. They. Slice. Potatoes. Because. Corn. Better. Doritos kill Lays. Because. They slice potato. No. They slice potatoes. Doritos kill lays when they slice potatoes because corn better. Yep, yep. I think that should be the slogan. That’s a nice little piece of trivia. When did Doritos new and most famous slogan first become a thing? And it was the 10 word story on an episode of “Good Mythical More.” Yep, that’s it. Doritos kill Lays because they slice potatoes because corn better. Yes. Two becauses. Was there two becauses? No, there was a when. Doritos kills Lays when they slice potatoes because corn better. Yeah, that’s it. That’s it. Give us some trivia. Yeah, how do you feel about your Doritos expertise? Better now. I was gonna ask you how you feel about what happened there, because like, seeing that unfold as someone who wasn’t on the panel making the decisions, were you like, “Ah, Tapatio has just got in there at the end and just went home with the victory and it doesn’t feel justified after all the ground that Doritos Cool Ranch Flaming Hot stood.” Like, I mean, how do you feel about it emotionally, Stevie? I think that you were, well, I was gonna say that I think you were respectful except for that part where Link was really mean to the panel, but I think you were respectful to Doritos. I think you really, what you showed is that like, the majority of Doritos flavors are delicious. Yeah. And, you know, Cool Ranch Flaming Hot was up there for a significant period of time. You were telling the people, “This is a thing.” And I enjoyed the opinions of the panel being involved because you know, it became more of a democracy that way. I know, but if the Cool Ranch Flaming Hot was against the Tapatio, which one would’ve won? That’s the question. It’s tough to know. It’s tough to know. But isn’t that just like, isn’t that just representative of life? Like how many, or at least how often are you just like, is it always this perfect little like tournament where all the match-ups and you try ’em all. It’s just like right time, right place. It’s alphabetical. Tapatio gets in at the end. Right. You know, I think it’s just more representative of life. Well, and also the Sweet and what was it? Sweet and Spicy? Sweet and Chili. Sweet Chili, yeah. Beat it already. So that’s two, two, yeah. I mean, I see what you’re saying. You seem upset, Link. I’m not upset. I just, it’s a weird feeling. When your fave went away. It’s a weird feeling when like, something’s dominating. But hey, you’re right. That’s how it is in like tournaments, too. It’s like you seed things in a tournament and then there’s an upset and then you got someone who’s just like blasting their way through the brackets and then they get knocked out. You know, it’s on game day. It happens. Yeah, somebody gets sick. Somebody gets hurt. I’m good with it. You know? It’s like, it’s not a perfect world. I mean, come on guys. All right. Tapatio is the best Doritos. How does that make you feel? Okay, I feel like we need to close the door. We need to have closure, and we need to feel like, you know, “Okay, that door’s closed and moving on.” I think the tension is good, Stevie. Okay, we’re gonna forever. Here’s the thing. I don’t, I’m not comfortable saying that the Tapatio is the best Dorito flavor ever. I’m comfortable saying that it won this tournament. It was the best flavor today in this setup. Right, and that’s true of, that’s how sports works. And what’s your life gonna be like today? We don’t know. Some days are better than others. If somebody in a purple. What is that a slogan for? Purple jogging suit just barrels over you when you walk out your front door, you’re probably not gonna like Spicy Nacho Doritos today because they come in a purple bag. Give us some trivia. We can’t predict what’s gonna happen to you today. There is no closure. And people who, by the way, people who jog in full purple, they tend to be wild and crazy. That’s cool, that’s cool. Yeah. Call me. Where were Doritos alleged to be invented? Alleged? We’re not looking looking for a city or state. It’s a specific place. A specific destination. Why are you saying alleged? Well, I mean, I have the answer in a quote from a publication, but I mean, who’s to say? Probably Doritos. When you say a location, you mean like the kitchen? Do you mean a geographical location? Yeah, I mean a geographical location. A destination. I think it’s a little unexpected. The Galapagos. New York City. I think New York City. I said, I’m not looking for a city. Yeah, that’s why I said Galapagos. A kitchen. Okay, it’s a theme park is the hint. Six Flags. Six Flags over New York City. Busch Gardens. Carowinds. If I say it’s, what’s the like number one theme park? I’m not gonna say Disney. I’ll say it. Disney. Yeah. Disneyland. It’s Disneyland. What’s the story here? Thrillist says, “FritoLay used to have its own TexMex restaurant in Frontierland called Casa de Fritos, which bought tortillas from a vendor. A salesman from that vendor had suggested the cook turned the rejected tortillas that fell apart into chips rather than throw them out. The cook did just that, and FritoLay didn’t fully realize what was going on until Marketing VP Arch West swung by on a family vacation and spotted the chips. He begged the contractors to mass produce the things and pitched a plan to his bosses, who were very into the whole scheme. However, Arch West’s obituary called this story into question when it stated that he came up with the idea on a family vacation in San Diego.” See, alleged. That’s where the alleged comes in. The story that you just told, it seemed like it was an origin story for tortilla chips. Like there’s nothing about cheese powder. Right. Oh, the, Chase is saying the first Doritos were just tortilla chips. Well, yeah, that’s definitely true. So tortilla chips were invented in Disneyland? That can’t be right. Well, this is an interesting question because we know that tortillas originated from Mexico, but did making them into these fried hard chips. Apparently it happened in Disneyland. Did that not happen in Mexico? I mean, I don’t know. Y’all looked that up today. There’s something else that we talked about. Oh, that was an episode of “BFBA.” Nachos were invented because Americans crossed the border into Mexico and went to this specific bar and asked the bartender if he had any snacks, if he could make something. And the bartender’s name was Nacho and he took tortilla chips and put cheese on them and then brought them back. And they were like, “This is delicious.” And that’s how nachos were invented. Oh, I’d like to meet that man. Yeah. Shake his, shake his cheesy hand. Sounds like no matter what we believe, Americans are trying to insert themselves in an origin. It was definitely America. Definitely. Well, no, the Americans ordered it. It’s not, they didn’t invent it. Which comedian got in trouble for claiming Doritos was sponsoring his satirical presidential campaign? Kanye West. Well, we know how you feel. Comedian who is running for president as a joke and said the Doritos were sponsoring it. What year was this? I guess that, I don’t think it would help too much. 2008. Who was big in comedy in 2008? Standup. Andrew Dice Clay. No. That’s a little late for him, isn’t it? Yeah, it is late. Kevin Hart. It’s someone who’s into political comedy. Bill Maher. Jon Stewart. Political comedy. Not Jon Stewart, but? It wasn’t Trevor Noah. John. Mulaney. “Last Week Tonight” with John Oliver. John Oliver. No. Oh. Is he a U.S. citizen? Bill Maher. Already said that. No. Oh, you said that? Yep. He has his own late night show. Oh, Stephen Colbert. Yeah. He announced his candidacy on “The Colbert Report.” “Colbert Report.” “Hail to the Cheese, Stephen Colbert’s Nacho Cheese Doritos 2008 Presidential Campaign.” But it was not sanctioned by Doritos. And he just used Doritos. Yeah, this is. He had to qualify. He had to clarify it. Doritos should have gone with that. It was a great opportunity for them. What a career, I mean. What a career. He’s still going. Yeah, but he was Stephen Colbert, the character. Yeah. And then he became Stephen Colbert, just the person. Yeah. And it was not, it was seamless. It eventually worked. It was kind of gradual. Because he had that, when he had his own show, he was playing a character, right? He was playing this like, sort of like right wing news guy. And then when he got his own show, it was like, he’d still slip into that but then he’s also being himself. Does he slip into it? I can’t say that I watch it, but I do respect it. As a joke. Oh, he still does it? I didn’t think he still did it at all. Well, I don’t watch that often. No you don’t. Sort of speaking out a school. I’m speaking right through a Dorito here. Okay. You don’t feel like there’s a dark cloud hanging over us? You think it’s good tension? I feel like there’s a dark cloud. You mean because we said Tapatio is the best Doritos flavor and you feel like maybe that’s not true because they just stood for one? I didn’t say that. I think that you’re holding onto turmoil and that’s why I suggested closure. But you both didn’t wanna close. But what would we do? How do you, what do you do? You just say, we just say it’s null? We nullify the whole thing? No, you don’t. My team didn’t win. I mean, this is how it feels, Stevie. This is how it feels. My team didn’t win. I think we should sit with the discomfort. Sometimes you need to sit with that. Like, listen, this whole idea that you should always be happy, that’s a really unhappy idea. Do you know what I’m saying? The fact that the thing that you should be trying to do every single day is to be happy? Well, good luck with that. Good luck being happy with that. Sit with the sadness. Sit with the discontent a little bit. It’s there for a reason. It’s part of the human experience. Learn how to sit with it. Let it pass. And then appreciate the happiness when it comes back. But don’t try to wake up and be like, “If I’m not happy today, I won’t be happy.” And I think that was the closure that I needed. Yeah, come on. Look at me. Go to the store. A weight’s been lifted off. Have a Tapatio Dorito, think to yourself, “You know what? These might not be the best, but today they were the best.” And they’re in the rafters. Yeah. Forever. Unless you’ve already taken them down. No, no, they’re there forever. How’s that for closure, Stevie? Yeah, okay. We’ll see. We’ll see how it translates. I think we should get into more trivia. Link wants to move on. What unusual activity took place at the funeral of the founder of Doritos? They fried him. It was a performance of some type, wasn’t it? In a way. Yeah, yeah. Everybody. It was a ceremony. As they were lowering him into the ground, everyone made the triangle signal, which is when you touched each nipple and your belly button. Do that. I’m actually not touching my nipples. Everybody at home. Went higher. Touch your nipples and your belly button and the ratio, like whether that’s an equilateral triangle or an isosceles, and if it’s a, what’s the one where they’re all different? What is that? What’s it when the, all three sides are different? What’s a rhomboidal triangle called? Come on. Scalene. Scalene. If you have a scalene triangle between these, there’s nothing wrong with that. It just makes you unique. Morgan, why do you still know that? I don’t know. Get rid of that knowledge, man. No, no, no, it’s great. Make room for stuff that’s useful. No, no. That’s not how it works, man. It’s great. Hold on to scalene. Scalene. Scalene. That’s it, baby. That’s it. That’s so close. If I had a daughter, I would’ve named her Scalene. Was it Doritos related? ♪ Scalene, Scalene ♪ ♪ Scalene, Scalene ♪ ♪ Scalene, Scalene ♪ ♪ Oh please don’t touch your nipples ♪ ♪ and your belly button to show everybody ♪ ♪ that it’s not the same. ♪ Yeah, they sang that song at the funeral. Is it Doritos related? It is, yeah. So it’s a twist on an otherwise common. He got dipped. They crumbled the Doritos and threw ’em on top of the coffin. Close. You’re closer with that. Nacho cheese. No. His casket was wrapped in dust. They buried him with a bag of Doritos. They, everyone threw a chip on his grave. Oh, okay. Should have crumbled it, really. Threw a chip on his grave?

That’s an American thing. What do they call ranches? They are very cool, though. Ranch is an American invention. I don’t think it has anything to do with ranch. So it’s, they’re gonna completely replace ranch with something else. Like, but I think the cool part is probably still there. So it’s gonna be like, Cool Canyon. Cool. Cool Onion. Cool Vibes. Is cool part of it? Creamy Cool. Yeah, cool’s part of it. Cool Cream. Cool, Cool Spice. Spot of Cool. Okay, there are actually, well, it’s probably more than two, but here there’s two different ones. There’s one for the Netherlands, Iceland, that area. And then there’s one in the U.K. They’re called something different. Iceland. Need a hint. They’re just called, “A little less cool than our surroundings.” Well, you said ranch is an American thing. That’s a good hint. Cool Farm. Yeah, Cool Farm. Cool Valley. That sounds good. Cool Field. Cool Mountain. Cool River. Cool Stream. Well, I said ranch is an American thing. That’s a good hint. Cool American. Cool Burger. Yeah, Cool American. And then in the U.K. they’re called? Cool American? Cool American. In the U.K. they’re called Cool Original. Cool Original. Wow, so they eat Cool Ranch chips over there in the Netherlands. And they think that they’re flavored like Cool Americans. That makes me feel good about our rep over there. You know? Does it have like, some movie star with sunglasses on? Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise with a pair of glasses, but they’re just two Doritos. One more for the road. In 2008, Doritos asked the British public to help them make an ad.

Broadcast in this very particular space? Space. Pulsed out on radars over the course of six hours. And here it is. This went to space. They love stop motion in space. They’re bowing down to it. Taking the lid off. Oh, gotta, oh, cover all the evidence. Play dumb. What about that one chip that got sauce? There it is, right? [Commercial Voice] Doritos. Yeah, that feels very like, 2008. Yeah, it does. What year was it? 2008. Two thousand late. Oh, it was 2008? Did you already say that? I already said that, but what did you say? 2000 What? Late. I said 2008. You said 2008, okay.
