GMMore 2706: Best and Worst Snacks We Ate This Month

Welcome to Good Mythical More. Sporked.com analyzes all the new fangled stuff that you can buy and eat. And we have some of the best that they found this month. We’re gonna have Gwynedd join us to taste some of these things. But first we’re going to donate $1,000 to the Native American Heritage Association to aid in their mission to help Native American families living on tribal reservations in South Dakota. By providing basic necessities such as food, clothing, fuel, and medical care. And you can join us in giving at. Naha-inc.org/donate Thank you for being your mythical best. Gwynedd! That’ll work. Come on in. Hi. What’s up, girl? Hey! What’s up? What you been up to, girl? Um, just missing you guys. Oh, I know, I know. Tasting new foods. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You’ve been tasting stuff. Good stuff. Writing about it. Bad stuff. And today we’ll taste a little bit of both. Okay, so, we’ll, we’ll see if we agree. Okay. That’s what I was wondering. Do you guys want to like, try stuff and see if we think it’s good or bad? Or… Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think so. I think so, but before we do that, I just gotta say, my man Link did a great job, so I have a, uh, I got a little cheer for him here. Uh huh. Link, Link, he’s our king. He’s not allowed to hold sharp things. Feel free to join in. That’s it. That was it, I think. So I’ll do some more. I just wanted to wet your whistle a little bit. Uh, that felt, that felt, uh, pretty good, yeah. Nice. I, I would, you know, I’d… I matched my pom poms. I’d love another, I’d love to hear another one a little bit later. A little bit later? Okay, I got a few more where that came from. Maybe at least three more, and you can, you could read that too and join in if you want to. Okay, I love, oh wait, there’s like actual, there’s, there’s scripted. I know, no, I made that up on my own. Okay. Okay, my wheels are turning, but I won’t bother. What do you want to start with? Uh, the, the snail shirt. Alright, you got Snail’s shirt. I’m trying not to look at it. I’m just trying to tell you that, like, behind the mic, it doesn’t, I just want, I just want you to, those are snails. They’re snails, they’re snails smooching. I’m only gonna look at it on the monitor. I’m not gonna look at you and look at it. I like it. It looks, yeah, like that. It’s great. Thumbnail! Oh, there you go. Uh, S car go? Wherever we want? S car, I gotta go. Alright, what, uh, what do you want to start with? Okay, I think we should start with this – Wednesday Addams cereal. – Yes, breakfast. Oh, it’s so dark. I know. Okay, so this came out with her own Halloween time, but I think it will probably, I don’t know how many people purchased this product, so it might still be on shelves right now. She seems so sad. I know, why so blue? Who wants to eat a sad person’s cereal? That’s kind of her thing. And there’s like, some marshmallows in there. Okay. So this is cookies and creme flavored cereal. With a sad lady on the box. Even though she’s eating, it’s probably very sugary. What do we got? But it’s not a charcoal. If it was a, if it was like a colon cleansing cereal. – Charcoal cleansing. – It’s overwhelmingly chocolatey. In a um, It was so much. Is it a dark chocolate? I just don’t know. I don’t know, to me it just tastes kind of like I just don’t know. Like just cocoa powder, like, straight cocoa powder on cereal morsels. It’s no, it’s no… What is the thing that looks like this that’s already a cereal, that’s like just balls of chocolate? Cocoa puffs. But they’re a milder brown. Cocoa puffs are better than that. When you said, what is the thing that looks like this, I was going to say rabbit turds. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that’s what this is. I see a lot of those. It does. Burnt. Yeah, exactly. Burnt rabbit turds. Um, I don’t recommend this one. Were you guys recommending that one? Sporked.com does not recommend this product. It was, it was such a, I thought this was such a letdown because I think that cookies and cream flavored cereal sounds so good, and then you taste that and it’s just kind of like, maybe a little bitter, – And like, like… – Bitter. Exactly. Very bitter. Very bitter. But, if you’ve always wanted to secretly eat rabbit poops. Okay, so the things we don’t recommend we’ll keep on that side. I mean, we’ll just get rid of it. We’re only gonna keep this now. Oh, we don’t even want you to think about it. I don’t even want you to see it anymore. Wow. So you’re, you’re, you’re coming up in here with some Werther’s originals? Okay, we’ll take them out of there. So, I know, okay. We’re gonna… Harvest Caramels, Caramel Apple Hard Candies. Oh! Okay. – Isn’t it… – So, they look just like, I mean… – It’s one of the more beautiful things I’ve ever seen. – A Werther’s, but it’s striped. That is pretty, I mean, it could definitely make a ring out of that. Oh, beautiful. That would be a cool ring. So, it’s Green apple mixed with the original flavor? Mm hmm. These are great. These are really, really good. Good gracious. Wow. Do they throw well? I can’t. Yeah. Do they what well? Do they throw well? Do they what well? Throw. Do they throw well? We kept speaking over you. I’m sorry. Catch it. Nice! See, I can’t even see you, Stevie. It is so good. Looks good. – I know, but now we have… – It’s so much better than the original. Werther’s original. The original is still good, I think, but this is a nice little update to it. So much better. Werther’s originals are really good. So this is a winner, dude. Those were, we absolutely loved this hard candy. It matches your ensemble? It’s so good! Yeah, yeah, yeah, it puts me in a cheerful mood. Oh my god, me too. And what I’m gonna say, this, my second cheer that’s in my brain right now, maybe Gwynedd could do it with me. Link. Link. Oh. Yeah. Link, Link, The Silver Fox. We get real nervous when he talks. Wow. Is that, is that true, guys? Yeah, we were right there on the same page. I talk so much that you can’t be good for your… We’re always nervous. Everyone’s always on the edge of their seats. Wow. Okay, what do we got here? We have a combination. How does this look? Two party favorites in one. Orange chicken and teriyaki chicken. Yes. So these are new combos meals from Hungry Man. It’s basically, it’s trying to give you the Panda Express. – Yeah. – Totally. Double up experience. That’s exactly what it’s doing. You get orange chicken and teriyaki chicken. And some noodles and some rice. It’s like, a fun idea, I think. I just think that It just, it just feels It feels bad for you. The teriyaki is leaving a lot to be desired. I actually, I actually like the orange chicken taste. The texture is like too soggy. This is bad, bad, bad. I know. These are, yeah, so this is like a new Hungry Man meal. I will say that we taste tested Old Hungry Man – Meals, Hungry Men’s, and… – They were better? The old ones? Yeah, there’s actually a lot of good ones. So is it, are they called, like, Elderly Man Meals? Yeah, it’s exactly, elder, stick with the Elderly Men’s Meals. – There’s a pinesol. – Not the Young Men’s Meals. Kind of a, like a cleaner sort of taste on the, uh, the teriyaki side. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. I actually cannot. believe how mushy that rice is either. It’s just, they gotta, they gotta figure out a different way. Something in the batter of the, uh, the orange chicken, you gotta do something to make it hold up a little bit better. I know, it’s really, it’s really bad. I also, there’s pepper skins in here. I have a real aversion to pepper skins. Does anyone else? Let me, let me write that down. Like, texturally, you mean? Well, they just, like, are dying to get caught in your throat. Does everyone agree with that? I see what you mean. – And you’re just like… – Oh, just the little pieces of pepper. Yeah. There’s, like, no pepper meat on them. It’s just skin. I really hate them. Where is that? You have to point that out for me. There was, like, one dirty little pepper skin in there I saw, but you might have eaten it. It might be in your throat right now. It’s never coming out. Okay, alright. You’re not gonna see that again. Banish it! That’s horrible. Boo! What else? Yeah, so some Hungry Men meals are good, but don’t eat that one. Let’s go for the Kraft. Yeah, look, new mac and cheese. Ranch flavored. I think this is very aesthetically pleasing packaging. This feels like it couldn’t be bad. Okay. But, you know what? We’ll be the judge of that. This is… It’s got the green flecks. It’s got some flecks. It’s got the whiteness. Is that dill? So, to me it just tastes like parsley. Lots and lots of dried… Yeah, it’s not, it’s just parsley. I think it has a good initial taste. It’s weird. The aftertaste. It’s strange. Is not what I’m after. But I would eat this whole bowl. Okay. I would eat the whole bowl. I’m not going to, for everybody’s sake. I don’t love it, Gwynedd. We didn’t love it, either. I’m just, just, I mean, hopes are high for this type of thing. See? We are in sync with some sporked. I think that really goes into, okay, there’s an expectation, and when you look at this, you’re like, oh wow, that sounds so fun, and then you taste it, and if it’s like, just okay, it winds up kinda getting a bad review, cause it’s like, well this could have been really good. It does make me think. Makes me think, too. Next time, well, something specific. Okay. That next time I eat mac and cheese, I can just put a ranch on it? I can just mix some ranch into a few bites, and then see how that goes. Go from there. But you gotta hold back on the cheese a little bit if you’re gonna add the ranch, because it’ll get too, it’ll get too, uh… – Saucy. – Saucy. That’s exactly what we said, though. We were like, if you added ranch dressing to your mac and cheese, it would taste better and ranchier than this. What about the white sauce? It’s like a… that comes with Mediterranean food, like we ate at that place. Tzatziki? Oh, the garlic? The garlic. Oh, the garlic paste. The garlic paste stuff. Isn’t that called Tomb? I think so, yeah. That stuff is dangerously good. I love it. And, I was having that last night. That would be good in this. Yes. Is there a way to just buy that off the shelf? Yeah. Cause, Spork that up for us. Yeah! No, we should do a taste test. What’s the best one of those to get? He’s ready. He’s ready! It’s the third one that’s in our brains. Okay. L I N K We’re so impressed you won today! No? Yeah. Okay. Yep, you are impressed. We’re very impressed. That’s okay. I like to impress. All right. Okay, so we’re shunning that. Even though I will say I would eat it. Yep. We’re not afraid to say things aren’t good here. I know. Sometimes you just gotta be honest. Here, let’s try, um, let’s try something like, okay, Lay’s. Honey Butter Lay’s. Lay’s. Again, this is setting a very high expectation. How could it not be good? Okay. Well, I’m concerned because I’m just not a fan of sweetness on my chips. Mm hmm, I think that’s fair. Even those like Hawaiian style. But try it. – I don’t love. – I mean, you always taste the IHOP ones at some point, and I unfortunately like those. These are way better than the IHOP ones. Okay. It’s still It’s not sweet first. It’s potato first, which is nice. I don’t know, Gwynedd. I like these. I like everything. Mikey likes everything. That’s a good attitude. You’re a good guy. It is very buttery. Mm hmm. So it’s a savory, salty, with honey. They’ve done it, they haven’t overdone it. It’s growing on me. Okay. It’s really growing on me. Okay, I’ll tell you our thoughts on the matter. And is that like Honey Butter Chips. Okay, if you go to like, um, H Mart or like one of the Korean grocery stores and you get Honey Butter Chips, they’re so good. Oh, I’ve never had those. And these are just kind of let down. So you’ve had the real thing is what you’re saying. Okay. Yeah, and the real thing is much, much better. And I think if people are expecting that. Oh. I think they’ll be let down by these. They taste like margarine to me, personally. Inspired by taste of Korea. Yeah. So just go to Korea. This is a thing. This is a thing you can get downtown. So we’re on the fence about this one. If this is the only way you can try it, you should, but So, if you can go to a Korean market, do that instead. Get the real deal. I mean That’s what Gwynedd is saying. Because they don’t taste like honey, really, either. Like, there’s sweetness in there, but it’s just kind of like, I don’t know, maybe they have some sugar on them. It’s just not, it’s not quite right. It’s not what we wanted. Okay, alright, hey, listen, I like the fact that you’ve got very high standards over there. That’s what If I was the one making the decisions over there, everything would just be highly rated. I think this is crazy. Now this, this is Weird, liquid death, hot fudge sundae, flavored sparkling water. But Stevie, Stevie only likes not sparkling. And room temperature. I will have it at any temperature. Yeah, but she really, really likes it room temperature. And if you’ve got something that you’ve made cold, she might take it out of there and let it get up to room temperature. She might be upset. I feel like it’s like you expect this to be colored. Brown. Yeah, right, yeah. You kind of want it to be. And then it gets suspicious if this ends up tasting like hot chocolate. Fudge! Gwynedd, you didn’t even flinch. What do you think? I did a little bit. You didn’t even… Oh, the smell. Right away. Um, I just don’t feel like this is something that needed to exist. I can’t imagine someone being like, I need more of this in my life. And it’s all a flake, like, there’s not actually any sugar or it’s like still just water. I think there is a sweetener in here, though, actually. 20 calories. Is it an April Fool’s thing? There’s agave nectar in here. So there’s sugar in this. I don’t like that. Pour Stevie a little bit. Natural flavor. You can take the can. Give her the can. No, it’s not room temp. Warm it up for her. Rub it in between your… Rub it a little bit, Davin. So, you love it? Rub it in between your snails, Davin. Oh, she’s, oh, it’s making her think. What do you think? I mean, it’s not something I would ever drink. It’s weird, too, that they were, like, sparkling. Yes, that’s, we need the carbonation. Yeah. Because it tastes like chocolate. milk a little bit. It tastes like if you wanted to have Tootsie Rolls intravenously… Tootsie Rolls! Put in your body. It is Tootsie Roll. Or like, have you guys ever had like an egg cream? Which is like chocolate syrup in carbonated water. No. It’s like a real I’m act like, I’m from the 1950s… You’re acting right now? well, I’m acting like, I’m not like, very young, like I am. What’s the real Gwynedd? Well, you’re not older than us, I’ll tell you that. I am actually 70. Oh, wow. Yep, okay. You got us. I use a very powerful retinol cream. Have you noticed those there’s these influencers, we’ll call them. TikTokers, Instagram people. who like, they’re obviously not as old as they say they are, but their whole brand is that they’re older than they are. Oh, really? So it’ll be like, I’m a 60 year old woman, but it’s, she’s, but she’s actually like 30? Have you seen these people? Yeah, Katrina knows what I’m talking about. Like, facial cream and stuff? No, it’ll be like, As a 60 year old woman, this is my opinion about this, and you’re like, but you’re, like, 25 or 30. – It’s like baiting to get comments and engagement? – Yeah, but their whole accounts are like that. Stop. Are they being paid by age, de-aging products? No, it’s just a bit, and it just, and everybody’s like, all the comments are just, Like, it’s, it’s, uh, what do you do, what do you, um, what do you call it when you do something to get, it’s rage baiting, right? So people are just commenting like, You’re definitely not 60! Oh. Rage baiting. Oh, my God. That’s, I promise that’s not what I was just doing. – I am actually 70, so… – Yeah, right. Rage bait! Don’t get on my case about it. – Reese’s. – Look, Reese’s! Tell us, tell us. Chocolate lava. Lava. Chocolate. So milk chocolate and peanut butter with chocolatey filling. Where is the chocolatey filling? It looks like it’s a dollop in the, in the, in the middle top. You can actually see it right there. What is it called? Yours is leaking. Mine’s exploding out. I love the consistency there. Look, look it didn’t grab any of the chocolate. That’s nice. That’s real, real nice. Okay, I’m gonna bite. What is it called? What is it? A chocolate lava big cup. Oh, the whole bottom is lava. The floor is lava. I’m giving you one of these and it’s kind of hard to see but yeah The floor is lava and the whole side of this is lava. I have a hard time masking my enthusiasm sometimes even though I told you guys to guess what’s good I just did a big eye roll for this one. ’cause I meant it in a good way. Um, I mean… Your eyes roll a back in your head. It’s a really good flavor. Sometimes I think to myself, anything you do to a Reese’s Peanut butter cup takes away from how great the original is. But this is the first time I’ve had one that adds a little juiciness. You know, and it’s a chocolate juiciness. Yeah. I’m not complaining about it. With all the stuff they’ve done. I’ve never experienced this, but we did really love the big cup with the pretzel pieces in it. Oh, yeah. That’s good stuff. I think it won the best one. Yeah, I think it was… It ran away with it. I love this. The form factor of the big cup. This is a new and worth trying big cup. I think so too. From the makers of your other big cups. All of your favorite big cups. Yeah. It makes it seem like it’s gonna be a whole bunch of chocolate in the middle top, but it’s only the bottom. I feel like it’s pretty misleading. – Little misleading. – The way they show it. But that’ll get you to buy it. This is click bait. Oh my God, more rage bait. Everyone’s doing it. I, um, I’ve been enjoying the cheers for Link so much. I wanted to see if Rhett had won. What kind of cheers Rhett would have. Cause I really like the backhanded nature of the Link cheers. You want an original one? I like this one though. No, no, no. I’m just saying, like, the writers did a great job with some, like, interestingly backhanded cheers. So I went over to see what they had written for Rhett, and the first one is just, Rhett is awesome, Rhett is cool. And then the second one is, Rhett’s so cool, Rhett’s so tall, Rhett’s the guy who won it all. I mean, I’m, I, you know, what can I say? It just, yeah, so I’m kinda glad. That’s why I didn’t win. I think it’s that they didn’t put any effort into Rhett’s because they knew he would lose. Well, but, I’ve got a completely original one, this – Is the fourth one that’s in my mind – So it better be good. Put it in my brain real quick. Yeah, yeah, here we go. Okay. Link, Link, Lemonade, round the corner fudges made. Can’t argue with that. Um, Trader Joe’s everything but the kitchen sink cookie mix? Don’t touch that. Got a surprise for y’all. Coconut, walnuts, semi sweet chocolate chunks. Don’t touch it? Caramel bits, sea salt, oats, pretzels. What the crap? It’s everything. No, no, no, no, no, no, no! What is wrong with you, man? Oh, and you got it all over Gwynedd. My snail shirt. This is gonna be good. Sorry. No, it’s okay. This is gonna be good, though. And then this. I thought this was a good idea. Well, you could have done it for your own cookie. Oh, my God. This is a new idea. Come on, guys. Have a growth mindset. See, you really didn’t like that lemonade and fudge chant, huh? I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to douse you with milk. I’m sorry he milked your pants. It’s okay. You actually are pretty unscathed. Surprisingly clean. I look so young because I take milk baths every day. So, that’s what’s going on. I’ll take the wettest one. Okay, well I’m trying to get one that didn’t. I don’t eat cookies without milk. And I often, I often put my milk, I put my cookies down in the milk, made it with a spoon. I didn’t know it was gonna upset you. I thought we were onto something. The cookie is really good. Really good. Like excellent. Very juicy. You’re like, the milk is what made this good. I wonder how soft it would be if it didn’t have milk all throughout every inch of it. Uh, this is a damn good cookie. I know! You don’t know what you’re gonna get in each bite. It tastes kind of like an oatmeal cookie, but with chocolate chips in it. But better. And it’s so so damn good. That’s one of the better cookies I’ve had. Oh, my God. In a very long time. So you plop them on the thing and then you bake them? Yeah. Well, I think you have to add, um, milk and eggs, maybe? It’s a mix. We got the milk. I’m asking you how to make cookies. Yeah. Yeah, I know, I don’t know. Oh, you can make cookie bars out of them, too. Butter? What do you add? Butter. You add butter and an egg. So that’s not hard. That’s not hard at all. No milk, huh? – No. – You add the milk after. Yeah, exactly. You did it exactly correctly, actually. Good job. Dang, it’s good. So we are highly recommending those. This is the best thing I’ve had in a while. We’re highly recommending the Werther’s. Originals and the Reese’s Big Cup as an honorable mention. And then we can just enjoy these Skittles. Skittles fruit snacks, that’s just for us. Because you’ve got better things to do. Oh, okay, bye. Thanks. Bye. They’re good though, right? They’re good. They taste like Skittles! Yeah, I love these. Skittles gummies already exist, but the fruit snacks are new. Yeah, those are new. This is new info. And they taste like Skittles, how’d they do it? Very good. But we’re out. I love them. – Bye. – That’s a winner. Good Mythical Tour’s coming to Texas. Don’t miss our final tour stops in Dallas and Houston next weekend. Tickets available now at GoodMythicalTour.com
