Welcome to Good Mythical More. Two days between now and Valentine’s Day. Less dependent on when you watch this and how you count days. Yep. But we are going to taste the best Valentine’s Day candies that you should get and eat. But first. Cause they’re good. We’re gonna do a freeze frame. ((Dramatic Music)) No! I refuse! I think I do that in every single one now. I like, do something that’s like, not actually. Creates a motion blur. Yeah. And who knows what they’ve done to us. Come on in! Gwynedd! It’s the bright spot in all of your shopping hours, Gwynedd. Hey everyone. Gwynedd. Gwynedd. Ooh, I made a big squeak when I sat. Did you hear that? Yep, it was a tiny little whoopie cushion. Oof! That’s not good. How you doing? Good! You got plans for V Day? For Valentine’s Day? I actually do. Okay. Yeah. You and your rock star hubby are just gonna romance it up? We’re going to a Tool concert. Oh, snap! Is that romantic? Very. Yeah, it sounds like, it looks like you’re into it. It’s romantic in an early 90s way, which I like. Tool, I mean, the musicianship of that band is rather impressive. I’ll say. You know, even if you don’t, if you’re not a fan of Tool, you gotta respect Tool. Yeah, definitely. I don’t think I’m like a huge Tool fan, but. It’s enough to get you in the mood. Oh, in the mood? To see people, because that’s what, isn’t? It’s kind of aggressive. Isn’t that what Valentine’s Day plans are? Everything’s designed for like, you know, to get the gears going. Grease them wheels, yeah. I remember that, one of their albums, it had an, like an, was that your back? I keep squeaking. I’m sorry, okay. I thought, I thought your spine cracked. Oh my God. No, there’s something about my jeans in this chair that’s being disruptive. I’m sorry. I remember the album had animation. Yeah. Do you know what I’m talking about? The, it was the video for, what is it? Sober, right? What was being animated is not something I want to describe. Okay. Oh, okay. Do you know what I’m talking about? I actually kind of don’t. I can’t remember. Okay, well. You can whisper it to me. No, your husband can do it at the concert. Okay, fair. So, yeah, I just don’t want to, I don’t want to be a part of it. I brought it up, though. Okay, sure. I thought you already knew about it. I just remember going like that and being like, Oh, that’s possible. Oh, okay. That is possible. It was a, it was a little too, okay. Like a hologram-y kind of thing? Yeah, it was a, that was, that was a big thing in the 90s. You could do that. That’s so cool. That’s possible. Valentine’s Day candies. Yeah, let’s keep it with candy. Let’s do it. All right, so. Let’s start over there. Okay, so we’re starting with, these are Valentine’s Crunchy Clusters. The brand is Favorite Day, which is sold at Target. This looks very artisanal. As you would say, Rhett. I would say that. So we’ve got like pretzels. They’re quite large. We have pretzels and caramel. Is that some white chocolate? Boy, that’s chewy. White chocolate? White drizzle. It’s drizzle. Sprinkles. Oh, it’s loud. A little hard to bite, but. I could see you enjoying these at the Tool concert. Bring a whole bag of these for everybody. I’m definitely going too. Yeah, that was the thought. Who’s opening? Oh, no, I kind of can’t remember which is really bad. All right, Layne Staley, these are good. That’s really. These are good. They’re really tasty. They’re really good, right? Like, something about that white chocolate is really working too. I know. With the caramel and then the saltiness of the pretzels, I think these are amazing. And if you bought them for someone for Valentine’s Day, they’d love you a lot. So, that is in our number one slot. Let’s see if it can be dethroned by. Oops, sorry. Okay, Starburst Conversation Hearts. Oh! So, Conversation Hearts, you know, they are always like, small and chalky, and printed with things that you can’t read. But it’s usually like, be mine. But this is like, you got this. Juicy! Be sweet. Be mine is still one. I got a hashtag, do you. Okay. I wanna. Oh, see, get it? Hashtag do you. Be pink. That’s a little suggestive. Okay. No it’s not. You can read them! It depends on how your mind works. – [Link] What do you mean you can read them? No, I know, I’m saying versus regular Sweethearts that you’re used to. You remember how they were printed. Oh, they’re legible. And they were like, yeah, exactly. They’re using a better tool. This is, hey. – [Stevie] Elder is opening for Tool. – Who? – Who? – [Stevie] Elder? No. No. Just arrive late. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stay in the parking lot for a while. ((Laughing)) Eat some hearts. Yeah, eating candy. Less than three. Did you taste one? Yeah, I didn’t love it. You don’t love them? Okay. I like them better than regular conversation hearts. They’re more like Sweetarts or something. Like they’re a little tangy. Okay, you’re right. They’re not nearly as chalky. You’re right, they’re better. It is an improvement. Juicy. How would you use these? In like a? This is to make a trail. Oh, a trail. This is to make a trail to the bedroom or to the Tool concert. . That’s smart. So it’s like rose petals, but edible. That’s the whole purpose. A lot of people are like, what are these little hearts for? No one sits and eats them. I think you could. They’re made for making trails. You can make a homemade card. And then you could, you could, instead of saying be pink, you could. In the sentence, you could put that in there. It’s just like, I always love you cause you be pink. Yeah, okay. You know what? Let’s do something juicy. Hashtag do you later. Dear baby, you’re sweet. And then you just glue them on there. Yeah. And then she’s eating glue, and you know what happens after that? That’s right. An ER visit! – Yeah! – Have you ever left a trail? For either, have either of you ever left a trail? I’m not a trail person. No, I’ve never left a trail. I’m thinking about maybe leaving trails now. I’ve never left a trail. I would like to encourage you to take this bag home and leave a trail. I’ve thought about it, but then I’m just like, the dogs are gonna eat the trail. Oh, but yeah. You gotta send the dogs out, then you leave a trail. I bet these wouldn’t kill dogs. Is this? But they would eat them all. Yeah. Sounds like you’re not sure though. I mean, we kinda need to, you know. I am a vet, but. Barbara would eat these and then leave a trail of diarrhea. That’s what would happen. And then it would be like, the whole night would be ruined. Yep. You know when the dog gets into something it shouldn’t get in? Oh, that’s a bad night. I know. So, are we dethroning this, the crunchy pretzels? No way, it’s not better. I mean, you can leave, I can leave a trail with these pretzels. Yeah, that’s true. Alright, and next we have. We have a bowl of Strawberry, what are they called? Strawberry, oh I have a card. Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Kisses. Look, I have a card. – [Rhett] Is it Hershey’s? – [Gwynedd] Yeah, they’re Hershey’s Kisses. One of them’s unwrapped. That’s yours. I mean, there’s plenty. It doesn’t have to be anybody’s. I know, I just already put it in my mouth. I know it’s gonna be hard for them. I’ll pre unwrap it. Is that what you did? Well then why is it unwrapped? Whoa! Bite into that. Soft red goo. I didn’t know this was a thing. Do you like it? Okay. I like it better than a regular Hershey’s Kiss because it’s just. I do too. Regular Hershey’s Kiss is just solid milk chocolate. Unless you like put it on top of a cookie. It’s just, do they do this with peanut butter? Do they have a peanut butter one? No, but what an oversight. That’s what they should do. They could be killing a game. It’s a crowded market for peanut butter chocolate. Everybody loves Hershey’s Kisses. Hey, you know I love it. This is not super, like, over aggressively strawberry. Which, makes me like it a lot. Yeah, it doesn’t taste fakey. And it would make a good trail. Again, no dogs in the house, so. Yep. That will kill dogs, in my professional opinion. Okay, so let’s put this at number two. I’m thinking. You know what, I like to always make the warning. A lot of people don’t know this. It’s news to people every time. Grapes also kill dogs. ((Sigh)) Don’t drop grapes around your dogs. Did that happen to you? What’s the sigh? I made a sigh like I had killed a dog that way, but that’s not what happened. I was, I was eating, okay, I was eating peanuts and raisins in bed the other day and, my cat was begging for food, so I gave him raisins. Which are grapes. Which are grapes. And I was immediately like, oh, crap, I shouldn’t have done that. – I don’t, is. – Did you Google? Does it affect cats the same way it affects dogs? So I Google and Google will give you a lot of conflicting information on the subject. So I had to call. Animal, like, animal poison control. Yep, we’ve done that a few times. Did they tell you to do a feline-lich? Feline-lich maneuver, I love that. Just sounds like you. No, they charge you $95 just for calling and then they say, no, cats can eat raisins. It’s fine. Bye. But they take your, you’re like, can I get your credit card number before I tell you what you really need to know? 100%. Really? Yeah. No, listen. So I call, I did the same service. Hey, and let me tell you right now, they made you sign up for the service and then, so they’re going to charge you again. Next month, because they did that to me and I had to, it was very difficult to cancel. Oh no. Well, I’ll have to just feed the cat something else. Maybe poisonous. Why didn’t you just Google, y’all? It tells you all, Google. Because, yeah. I can’t remember what it was for us, but Jessie was like. Just read the thing. We gotta call this, you gotta call this line. Yeah. And then I was like, and then I like go on there and then I’m like doing a chat or something. And then it’s like, oh, $95. And I’m like, oh God, it’s worth it. It’s a dog. It might die. Yes. And then they charge me another 95 the next month. I, I. I am upset about this because what they’ve done is they’ve taken poison control, they’ve privatized it, and they make you think it’s the same thing, but they’re charging you for it. This is highway robbery. They’re capitalizing on your anxiety about your doggies. Totally. Yeah, it’s quite a market. But, and it’s so much cheaper than going to the emergency vet, which costs. Well, that’s true. All right, so it’s a deal. Approximately a million dollars. I’m gonna stay out of it. Okay, next we have Reese’s Pink Hearts. Oh. Oh, we’re talking about the peanut butter and here it is. Oh, that’s got peanut butter inside. – [Link] It’s an interesting color. It’s almost purple. Is it white chocolate that’s just been made pink? It’s a very interesting shape too. Yeah, it’s kind of like the most turdish version of a heart. You mean like a booty? It reminds me of something else, I guess. Oh, yours is upside down. Oh, Gwynedd. I’m trying to be. Okay, say it. Nothing wrong with that. Be my. – [Stevie] I just saw you thinking, like, how long am I gonna do this motion and wait for one of them to notice me? You’ve been doing that a long time. – [Stevie] And why do I? What does it remind you of? Dangly balls. Dangly balls, she says. Yup. Okay. Moving on. It tastes great though. Speaking of dangly balls. These taste so good. I mean. If you just come to Reese’s for the peanut butter and don’t care that much about the chocolate, I think these absolutely rule. There’s so much peanut butter inside. They call it pink cream, but I mean, it’s basically white chocolate. Yeah, it doesn’t really taste like much of anything. It’s just like a sweet coating. What, what, what is the sensation of having pink balls? I guess that’s just normal for me. Of this, yeah, this, yeah, I think. What do you mean? As opposed to blue. Oh. Oh. I’m sorry, Gwynedd, that it took so long to see you dangling the balls at me. I know. Sometimes. We really let, we really left you out to dry on that one. Sometimes I just shouldn’t engage. Do you like them? – I think this is. – I love them. You dunked it. You know us and peanut butter and our bias. That’s why I was really excited for you guys. The peanut butter bias? I thought you were literally saying our biosphere. You know we’re starting a biosphere. Oh my God. And, it’s gonna be filled with peanut butter. Peanut butter and polysorb. Alright, so here we go with. Oh. These are Jet-Puffed Strawberry Heart Marshmallows. Actually, I haven’t tried these yet, so. Choking hazard! Eat one at a time. For children under four, cut marshmallows into bite sized pieces. Children should always be seated and supervised while eating. Why do you have to sit down to eat marshmallows? Do not make a trail. Is that a thing? Do not make a trail. Is that a thing? Choking on marshmallows? Does it really say all of those things? Children should always be seated. I feel like a marshmallow melts in your throat. Let’s find out. Swallow one whole. Melts in your lung. I think that if you get it in the esophagus. Melts in your lung, not in your hand. I think the saliva will. Eventually. It’s not like getting a hot dog in there. That’ll kill you. – [Stevie] Oh, it’s an anti chubby bunny trend. That’s what I was gonna say. Oh, yes. That’s what happens. It’s a tasty marshmallow. Has it got hoof in it? But the seated part. Chubby bunny is not a running around kind of sport. – [Stevie] Yeah, I don’t know about the seated part. Maybe it, oh, sorry, Matt Carney would like to comment on seated. – [Matt] In having a two year old myself, when children run around with food in their mouth, they’re much more likely to choke. It may not melt fast enough. If those are throat shaped candies, they get lodged in there really. You don’t want to take any chances. – [Matt] Yeah. With your own children. Yeah. I put this last. I just don’t give a crap. Okay. Fair. I think they’re a little bit better than the candy hearts, but I think the candy hearts make a better trail, so I’m willing to keep them at last. Perfect. Also, I don’t know, they don’t taste that much like strawberry, and that’s kind of their, why they exist. – [Rhett] Is this a bento box? – [Link] Are you having fun? – [Gwynedd] I’m having so much fun. I love this thing. Okay, so this is from Target. It’s Favorite Day. Cupid’s Candy Box. So, it’s like a tackle box. Yes. How long has this Favorite Day brand been around? I don’t know, actually. It seems relatively new, like past few years. But they make fun, fun holiday candy and stuff. We got a white gummy. We’ve got a red gummy, we’ve got a, oh, I thought this was chocolate, but this is a gummy. Oh, it’s another gummy. – It’s a. – It’s all gummies. It’s all gummies? Everything is gummies. So, you got your heart. And then we got gummy bears. Red bears, white bears. I’m curious about the white bears, cause they’re opaque and it makes them look like they taste like milk, but I highly doubt that they do. Just wanna remind you, you can go to Sporked and use the trusty search bar to search best Valentine’s Day candy. Or just search Valentine’s Day candy if you’re lazier. And, what’s gonna pop up is the best Valentine’s Day candies to buy last minute or on sale on the day after V Day. That’s when to do it. So, use that search bar over at Sporked for anything that you like. Now, I will say, a feature that should not be overlooked. It comes with stickers. So, right under there, there are stickers that are letters that you can then personalize. And this one on the back has been personalized for Arden. Arden’s candy box! That’s too fun. I feel like that moves this thing up because I’m just kind of putting together the way I’m going to do it. So I’m going to have a candy heart trail. Halfway. Halfway on the trail. It’s going to be Jessie’s tackle box. ((Laughing)) Cause it will be a tackle box later. Cause she’s big into fishing. Okay, yeah, she seems like the type. She can put all her flies in there. So I put that like halfway up the stairs. Full of gummies. And really the gummies are for me. I’m a gummy guy. And then, oh, I’m caught. Oh no! What is that? Whoa, it bit you. And then you just continue on the trail, and I gotta figure out what’s next, but, I just feel like this is somewhere up in here. It’s not better than this. No, I agree. But, they don’t, but, have you tasted them? Because they taste strange. Which ones did you have? Did you have the white one? The white thing, and it tasted like it was rose flavored or something. Flowered. Oh, weird. The gummy bear tasted like banana. The white one tasted like banana to me. I don’t like the X’s and the O’s. Yeah, I don’t like the X’s. They’re like a yogurt gummy thing. It’s weird. Yeah, they’re. I hate it. He hates it. Well. That one taste a little soapy. It is ranked fourth. I’m going to get some more of these because this is nice though. I have to say I was really influenced by the packaging with this one. Because I can think of so many things to do with this box. Yeah. – Like beads. – Your beads in there. That’s exactly what I said. It’s a perfect bead organizer. I don’t have any beads, but I’ll get some. Right. It motivates you to get into beads. I think I’d put pills in there. Oh, yeah. You know, I got a lot of pills these days. Well, that’s, that’s nine slots though. So, that’s just nine days. It’s gonna be a weird cycle. No, cause then you put the different types of pills in the, instead of doing this day. This is one day for you? – It’s not daily. – Instead of a day. It’s like all your Omega-3’s are in one section. So, then you just open it up and you’re just like. You know how many of each thing you take. That’s not, you don’t want to do that, old man. Why not? I’ve done that before. You gotta keep your medications by day. No, I don’t. ((Laughing)) ((Music)) I’ll have to leave a trail for you. – [Link] Head to Sporked.com to find the best Valentine’s Day candy as tasted and ranked by the Sporked Team.
