Welcome to Good Mythical More. There are four principal types of Coke out there on the open market ((Laughing)) We’re going to taste them. Yeah. And we’re going to decide which one of, like, actual just classic Coca-Cola, that you can get out in the world. Right, because you can’t get it in a can. But not. Or a plastic bottle. Why are we not? Okay, they can explain. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There’s all types of ways to get Coke. There you go. The four that we’re going to taste because these are of a certain sub genre. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’ll all make sense. In order to determine which one of this sub genre of Coca-Cola is the best. Emphasis on the “la”. But first, as part of Mythical Society Food Week, We’re donating $1,000 to No Kid Hungry to aid in their mission to ensure that every kid has three healthy meals a day, 365 days a year by connecting kids to existing nutrition programs, leveraging your donation to help states, cities, and communities close the gap between kids who need food and the food itself. Please join us at giving at nokidhungry.org/donate Great organization. Doing great work. All right, so let’s, let’s talk about this. This sub genre of Coke that you can get. There’s, McDonald’s has a certain type of, fountain Coke, and then there’s like, Burger King is representing normal fountain Coke from other places. A lot of people think that McDonald’s, like, fountain Coke is the best version of Coke you can get. And there’s like a handful of reasons why people think this is the thing. They get their Coke syrup delivered in stainless steel tanks. According to the New York Times, the material keeps the soda fresher. McDonald’s is pretty hush on this, but apparently they have a very close relationship with Coca-Cola. What’s Burger King doing, like, wood caskets? I don’t know. Wood caskets, yeah, they’re dead people. They flush the dead person out, and they replace it with Coke instead. Burger King, we only deliver our Coke in wood. Did you mean casks? Casks. Like, I mean, you get McDonald’s making it with stainless steel, like, what’s Burger King using? I don’t know. But people think it’s because the high turnover of like people go and frequent McDonald’s to get Coke out of the fountain that maybe because they replace it more it’s fresher syrup is another reason and then they follow the beverage temperature guidelines set forth by Coca-Cola and filter all the water before it enters fountain dispensers to meet the gold standard of fountain drinks. Again, I don’t know if Burger King does this. Well, we’re going to find out. We’re going to see if there’s a difference. So we just have some uncold Cokes that we’re going to try blind. And then we’ll find out what’s what. Yeah, and previously you said that just the glass bottle Coke was your favorite. So we’ll see. In this blind taste test, if that remains true. And then we get, this is? Mexican. Mexican Coke. Yeah. Coke from Mexico. All right. Let’s get into it. Coke is good. Coke is it. Coke is. Coke is it, man. Coke is, Coke is Coke. Coke is it. I know that was their slogan. What is it now? The real thing? What is it now? Which one is this? While you’re considering that. I’m not gonna know until I taste the next one. Just a little inside baseball here. This is lavender. Let me tell you what I was planning on doing and forgot to do. But we can relive it here. I have. Relive something you didn’t do? Actually, Chase brought it to me and he said, I got this out of whose yard? Sarah’s parents. Sarah’s parents. Sarah’s parents. And, what I was gonna do is I was gonna say, Link, do you know what lavender looks like? And as you were fumbling for your answer, I was gonna be like, bam! ((Laughing)) And then I was gonna like, say, grab it. ((Laughing)) And then I would. You would grab it. Wow, it’s so soft. I’ve been waiting for you to ask. It’s pillowy soft. And then, yeah, this would have been the bit. It could have been in the Main. This is great. Lavender is a sore subject in my household because Cassie grew a beautiful lavender plant. Oh, and you took a crap on it. ((Laughing)) Well, metaphorically. One day it was not looking great, and I said, babe, I think if you water it, it’ll be better. And she mumbled something to me that I did not hear. And so I was like, okay, fine. I will water it. And then I watered it. And then 20 minutes later, she was like, babe! And I came out and I said I watered it. And she said, I said I already watered it and not to water it. And if you water it in the way that you watered it, you could damage it. Oh no. So guess who killed the beautiful lavender plant? Lavender can’t take double water? I, there’s a way that you’re supposed to water it. Like. Lavender sucks! I mean, yeah. Lavender. So weak. It is. But I didn’t take that stance actually. Lavender’s precious. I just apologized profusely. And took ownership of the situation. Let’s taste the red one. Well, are you? I’m guessing you. To answer your question. Well, I mean, mainly you’re supposed to. This is good. This is the best one so far. But I need to taste another one before I guess what it is. Not as good. Not as good. You’re right. Not nearly as good. It’s. Whoa! It’s flatter. Like. It’s flatter. It’s not just, it’s not just flatter. It’s, there’s a roundness and a balance to the blue one. You know what I’m saying? It’s got the sweetness and the bite that you want in a Coke. This one’s great. Second one’s not good. Let’s go with the green one. Greeny. While we’re on a roll here. Even worse. Oh, they’re getting worse. This one’s flatter. I’m gonna have to take a melatonin tonight. ((Laughing)) It’s not that late in the day, dude. Hey, it doesn’t matter, man. I have caffeine after noon. Really? Yeah, I gotta have a melatonin. Okay. All right, let’s go with the yellow one. You do the afternoon, like, late afternoon coffee, and I’m like, how? If I did that I would be up until 2 A.M. Definitely better than the green. Just thinking about all the problems. Green is not good at all. Just inventing new problems to think about. Red is better than yellow. Oh, you got a yellow already? Yellow is the worst! ((Laughing)) Yikes! No, taste green again. Green’s worse. They’re both horrible. You know what I think is happening, I think that this is that, I don’t know which one the Mexican Coke is. Honestly? I’m hoping that the. They’re both bad in their own way. I can’t tell you which one’s worse. McDonald’s Coke is two, but I’m going by the bite. The blue is out of this world good. I have a reason to believe. Yeah. This is what we’ve done. Do you think that these, so you really think that these two are both the fountain? I think we may be thrown for a loop by the Mexican Coke. Yeah, I know. Because people love McDonald’s so much. I was thinking about moving it to second place, but I’m sticking to my guns that the blue is our. Regular bottle. Good old fave. I’m confident in that answer. And I think just because of the glass bottle, the carbonation of. I personally think that yellow is a little bit worse than green, but they’re both really bad. Wow, well then, are we right about blue? Let’s just start there. You are correct. We’ve gotta be right about that. It’s so good. Remains your favorite in another blind taste test. You picked the same one. Yeah. Makes me think about Mama Nell. It’s so good. She’d be drunk, she’d drink whiskey every night, she’d get drunk and she’d take her teeth out. And where did Coke come in? ((Laughing)) Oh, she had these. ((Laughing)) She always had these at her house. Oh, she always had them at her house. And then my brother and I would be drinking on one, and then we would be like, Hey, hey, what do you want to do tonight? And the other guy would say, Well, let’s get Mama Nell to take her teeth out when she gets drunk. Oh. And then she’d be sitting there, and she’d be on her, like, second or third glass of straight whiskey. Okay, that seems fair in her age. And smoking at the same time. In a nursing home? No, this is in her house. Okay. They didn’t let her drink whiskey at the nursing home. Oh. By that time, they didn’t let her have any of her substances. But this is one of the things that put her in the nursing home. Okay. And she would be, she’d be sitting there. She’d be smoking her cigarette. Pop would be smoking a cigar inside the house. Drinking his alcohol. And then we would say, Mama Nell, take your teeth out. And she’d be, she would resist a little bit. She’d be like, I don’t want to do it tonight. Tonight. And you were like, Mama Nell, just take your teeth out. And then she’d be like, okay. And she’d take her teeth out and talk. It was the entertainment, man. After Dukes of Hazzard went off, that’s all we had. Yeah. ((Laughing)) Well, Dallas. You could have watched. No, we weren’t allowed to do that. Did y’all like tonight’s episode? She didn’t sleep with her teeth in, though. Of course not. Of course not. Once she took them out, they were out. Did she ever give you a kiss? No, no. With her teeth out? I had some, there was some, you know, unhealthy things about my relationship with my grandmother, but. Hey, don’t bring my grandmother. No, she would not take her teeth out and then like chew gum for me or anything like that. No, none of that stuff. ((Laughing)) I figured out a lot of that stuff on my own. You know? Hey, I never got my grandma drunk just so she could take her teeth out. I didn’t get her drunk! She did that all on her own! Was the TV on? I mean, they were watching the Dukes of Hazzard? We were. Okay, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Wait, but your grandfather was seated in a different room. He was in the recliner. Oh, same room. In the same room, and she was in a non reclining soft chair that was smaller. She was a smaller woman. And what was his drink? I don’t know, another type, like maybe just another type of whiskey. They both had their own types of whiskey and their own types of nicotine. He had some Bailey’s. And when you went to stay with him, you would come home, and all your stuff would smell like what you can imagine it would smell like if you had spent a week in a home where people were just smoking cigarettes and cigars, nonstop. Smoke, whiskey, and denture cleaner, right? Yeah. And just like, and I didn’t think of it. I was just, and their dog, they had a little, poodle, Honey Bun. Honey Bun smelled like a cigar too. Yeah. Yeah. Honey Bun. It’s like you get a poodle. Honey Bun got that lung cancer. Honey Bun was yellow. You know what I’m saying? Honey Bun was originally a white dog, but it was just like a golden retriever in there with that cigar smoke. Good gracious. Memories. ((Laughing)) You think red was the Mexican coke? That’s what I think. But Rhett, did you think it was the McDonald’s? I think red might be McDonald’s. The red is the Mexican Coke. Yep. Okay. Just because the carbonation just kicks in a glass bottle. So this is actually. So now you’ve really. This is confirming. You’ve done something, homie. This is confirming that when you put it in the bottle, it tastes better. Whether you’re in the US or Mexico. So now we get down to this, and, okay. So I think yellow’s worse. I think, I mean. Which do you think is, is which? I think yellow is worse so I’m gonna say that green is McDonald’s. Yellow has more carbonation. I’m sticking to my guns, it’s better. Green is McDonald’s. Oh. Really? Yeah. It’s not good though. Y’all are drinking the Kool-Aid and it ain’t that good. It’s a little bit better but it’s not better. It’s not anywhere close to as good as this. I don’t know what to, I don’t know what to say at this point. I mean, it was so built up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it’s just. I think we’ve ruined McDonald’s. I know, it’s like we disagreed and we clearly didn’t like it as much as like an, I mean, don’t go to McDonald’s to get a Coke, is what we’re saying. Go to the 7-Eleven. Yeah, go to the, and then, I mean, do the 7-Elevens all have a glass Coke available? Not necessarily. Not necessarily. You gotta seek out a place with, like, a nice, crack, openable Coke. And that’s what you need. You can get the glass at the grocery, it’s always at the grocery store, isn’t it? Isn’t the glass at the grocery store? I mean, for the most part. It depends on where you live. And then you take it back to the, can you still take it back to the grocery store? They still take it back? I don’t? In certain states. That’s what Mama Nell would do, be like, “grather” it up and take it to the grocery store. Grather it. Grather it up. I don’t know. You know what, I think there’s something nice to the idea that you could watch that one TV show and then your entertainment had to come from her taking out her dentures and like that was. Right, that was it. And having the Coke was, you know, that’s what you had. That’s a good memory. That’s what you were enjoying. Yep. You definitely didn’t have a lot of screen time. Simpler times. Much less teeth. Makes me a little sad. Yep, yep. Well we tried to recreate it for our children. Yep. My mom had all her teeth removed just so she could do it for my kids. ((Laughing)) And she doesn’t really like alcohol, but we’ve been forcing her to get drunk lately. ((Laughing)) Just so we can give them that memory. No. ((Music)) Order your boxes of Sweet Mac N’ Mello and Peanut Butter and Honey Sandwich Mish Mash now at eatmishmash.com
