GMMore 2809: Best And Worst New Sodas Taste Test

Welcome to Good Mythical More. We’re gonna try some new sodas in different flavors, and we’re gonna rank them using the Chug Sip spill convention. Yep. It is a convention, but first we’re going to play a 10. We’re gonna play a 10 word story. Hmm. Let’s just, let’s just keep it chill. We’re gonna imply that once upon a time. Mm-hmm. Did that break your brain? No. Oh, yeah. Uh, like that’s how stories usually start, uh, brown. EA brownie. You can’t, you altered my word. Okay. New rules. And I mean it like a, like the, uh, like a Girl Scout. Oh. Okay, well, you’re really going outta your way to control my story here. A brownie Uhhuh died, but who killed her are the creepy. Man. Come on, Rick. The creepy man. Well, it could have been a baker. It could have been, yeah. I wanted people to be able to throw their own color. It could have been the, you know what I’m saying? It’s like I, you know, you don’t wanna oversell it once upon a time. A brownie died, but who killed her? The creepy man. That’s right. See, sometimes short story, sometimes it’s simple. Short story. Spoiler alert. It was the creepy man. Okie dokie. Up first we have Simply Pop Made with real fruit juice, naturally flavored with other natural flavors, not a sponsored flavor that pops. You get it with Simply Pop. There’s, people are doing this now, they’re doing so many different sodas now that have like the pro pro, uh, I thought you were gonna say the probiotic, but this Oh, it is. This is prebiotic soda. All of these are right? Yeah. You guys done with that smoothie? Oh, you wanna try it? Carn but carne. We’re splitting it up back here. Oh, you’re sharing it with Stevie? I already shared it. Okay. I shared immediately, but, but then why are you asking for hours? We’re sharing our ours with Jamie. We’re, there’s a lot of people back here who want some Oh, yeah. Yeah. You know what? Right here. Yeah. Yeah. Take it back. Yeah, take it back. Nothing against Hailey. I like it. It’s just a little sweet on it. Do you want it? Do you want it? Do you want it? Look at his hand. It’s so needy. You know what I’m saying? A lot of people are doing this type of soda where it’s got fiber in it and it has no added sugars, and they, so they’re trying to hold on to the whole soda drinking thing. Prebiotic is just. A, um, code for fiber because it feeds the, the biome, the bacteria in your biome. It’s, it’s not like probiotic actually is the stuff. It. It has the live and active cultures in it. I think that sounds right. Yeah. Prebiotics says non-digestible food ingredients that selectively stimulate the growth and or activity of beneficial microorganisms. Which is weird because prebiotics promote the growth. Mm-hmm. But the probiotics are the things that need to grow. Mm-hmm. So having, I guess I should keep that there. Well, and let’s taste it. Oh, I’ll taste this one. Yeah, you taste that one. I’ll taste this one. What are our three options? Chug. Spill. Yeah. Or sip. This gets confusing. How would you, so chug means that you love it. You just wanna drink all of it. Sip means like it. And spill means you hate it. But we got into a little bit of a argument last time we did this because I believe that link was making the argument that if you really liked it, you would sip it ’cause you’re trying to savor it. But I think that then, and what is chug? Just trying to get it over with. I think that’s probably what I said, but I’m not in an argumentative mood today. So chug it. Is it so good? I can’t control myself? Sip is like a friend gave it to me. They said they loved it and I’m trying to support them. Yeah. And spill means, um, oh, I hate it so much. I can’t do it. I have to get rid of it. Yeah, we understand. Um, I don’t love it. I think it gave me an instant headache. Like my head hurts pineapple. Mango is a nice flavor of combo. That might have been the dog food. Yep. No, no, no, no. Not a dog food. Why is this giving me a headache? 26% juice. It’s not used to the, the orange I think is better. It’s gotta be, it’s a little sunkist. There’s this under tastes that I would have to require across the board. The strawberry is not good. I don’t like strawberry flavored things. Usually the orange is the, it’s really hard to do. It hides it. The most strawberry flavored things don’t taste like St. Strawberries. They taste like strawberry flavor. You know what I’m saying? But it is stronger to cover that. The under tastes. That’s the prebiotics. Do you like that? That’s the fiber taste? I don’t like it. No, but I think that I had, I think that I, if I had to chug one of these, I would chug the orange. I agree. It’s the best. Now this one gave you an instant headache. Yep. Didn’t like it, but I thought that it was the better flavor. But lemme taste it. You know, it gave you a headache. I mean, I don’t want you to get a headache. I don’t know, dude. Lemme try the strawberry again. I typically don’t like strawberry though. It’s, it’s sour though. There’s a sourness. That’s fun. And the strawberry. Mm-hmm. Try it again. There’s a, there’s a fun sourness. And this type of fiber doesn’t fun. Doesn’t make you turn into usher. It just makes your biome grow. Well, I mean, if you had no, well, maybe it is fibers, fibers, fiber. If you did enough of this, I’ll tell you pineapple man, I just can’t, I mean, I’ve really hit a wall in the past. I’ve only hit six, six months where I can’t read things. Really? Damn. Yeah. Like, I like, I’m like, I, I, I kept holding on, but now the, like, reading things. I’m the guy, I’m breaking out my phone, my phone at the, at the restaurants. You know, it’s interesting to me that like, before you get to strawberry, there’s pear, apple, and cherry. I, I’m voting for the strawberry. Okay, well, you know, let, let me, let me have it. Just let me, no, hell, you can have it. All right, so that’s our first one. Let’s bring, but Hailey is watching this. I want you to know Hailey Bieber is watching this episode. What is what? She’s never tuned in, I don’t think. What else is she up to? Keeping all JB in check. Okay. A lot of speculation about him keeping her dad in check. Her dad’s a wild card. Who is his? Her dad, Steven Baldwin. Oh really? That’s right. Oh yeah. Steve, what is he up to? Making weird cryptic tiktoks. Oh my gosh. Well, you should not watch it. Yeah. What? Yeah. Weird and cryptic In what way? Like opinions or? Um, uh. What’s the type of stories that people believe? Conspiracy? Yes. Uh, I would say it feels very, but it feels very conspiracy laden. But I would just say that he’s not really saying much. He’s looking at the camera in very strange, in slightly disturbing ways. What I feel like Hailey needs to talk to him about it. Okay. Shirley Temple, spin. Drift. We got some real pro. Opponents of spin drift in the house. What, who’s one? I know Paisley’s a big spin drifter. It also has, um, real fruit in it. 20%, but it doesn’t say prebiotic anywhere. So is this like a LaCroix? Yeah, it’s like a LaCroix with juice is what Spin Drift is. But then spin drift soda. Is a is a new thing apparently. You know what I’ve done? I’ve just shifted to water at home Diet Dr. Pepper on the weekend. Yeah. And occasionally a diet Dr. Pepper here if I’m having a hard day. Mm-hmm. That’s the sign guys. If he got a diet Dr. Pepper in his hand, go easy on him. Um, but. I got one of those countertop reverse osmosis filters and I’m just pulling the crank on that thing and just drinking water all the time. I’m giving it to the dogs, I’m giving it to myself. Feeling good about it. Everyone in our family is just drinking that good water. How warm is it? Uh, it is room temp because I got the one that is literally just sits on the counter all day. Yeah. Yes. I like room temp water. Just like Stevie. She, she, I think I do, she insists on room temp a liquid death. She will flip her lids and if you give her one that’s a little bit cold, she will throw it right in your face. This is good. This has, um, a tang and a bite to it. I do like it. Um, let me give you this one. Orange cream float. Spindrift. I gotta send you that filter. I keep telling you. I’m gonna send it to you, Stevie. Mm-hmm. She’s interested in getting one. ’cause he likes room temp water. If you, you’re, you’re gonna give her like a friend discount or something? No, there’s no referral program. You’re gonna see her. Yours? I will say you’re gonna buy her one. Uh, well, I didn’t say that. You implied it. I don’t know. How much counter space do you have available? It is large. Yeah. I, that’s a, it’s an issue. I’m always seeking more counter space. If you like the idea of orange vanilla soda, you’ll like this. I don’t, so I don’t. Okay. I think this is pretty special. Yeah. ’cause you like orange vanilla, like a cream float. The, the float of it all, I feel like is a, is a nice thing. I think it’s at least a sip. I’ll admit that. Most people, if you think you would like it, you definitely would. So we make it sip and make that other one. Chugged. Unsweetened grape aid. Oh. Oh. We know grapes gonna be good to us, but not to anybody else. 8%. 6% juice, 14 calories. It is a pretty color. Hmm. You sort of miss the grape on this one. It, well, it’s not sweetened. It’s an. It just tastes like grape flavor and soda water. But I can get used to it. Well, I mean, you know, if you’re drinking LaCroix, it’s, it’s better than that. It’s got more flavor than that. It’s better than a LaCroix spin. Drift has real fruit and it tastes better. That’s what it says right there on it. I tend to agree. Okay. Well, but which one are we gonna toss? Man, these are all pretty good. I don’t wanna get rid of any of them. Yeah, I know. I’m gonna let you have it. So what, so which one do we I don’t sipping. Yeah, I’m gonna let, I’m gonna let you have it. Well, honestly, I think, I think it may be the great, the Surly Shirley Temple. Oh, that’s what I would do. The sourness of this. You like the sour? Hmm. Okay. All right. I like all these. Try spin, drift. Not a sponsor. Yeah, they’re, they’ve done good. They’ve done good work. Okay, now we get into the naughty naughty. What? What we got here. We got a zero sugar Pepsi. Is this not, it’s not too naughty. This is a wild cherry and cream. Oh, buddy. Oh, but it’s not zero sugar. It is. Oh, it is zero sugar. But the black, but the Dr. Pepper, Dr. Pepper, Blackberry is just straight Dr. Pepper sugary. If this makes me not hate Dr. Pepper, it won’t, you know it’s still gonna have the Dr. Pepper flavor. I don’t think I’m allowed. I’ve heard about this. Dr. Pepper, Blackberry. I think we, I feel like I’ve tried it. I can’t remember. Wild, cherry and Cream. Let me put the, why am What else does Hailey do? Hailey? Uh, she’s, uh. She has a makeup line. She has a skincare line. Skincare line because her skin looks great. Yeah. I’ve gotta say Yeah, but yeah. But what does she do for a living? She’s a mogul man. She is a business woman. What was she before? She was a mogul. I a model. She Mm, she does whatever she wants, man. She, she was a Baldwin daughter. Yeah. Okay. God. God, I hate it. God, I hate, I hate cherry Cherry’s. I hate cherry flavor than anything. Well, I’ll get, I’ll get a uh sprout, a Diet Coke, a caffeine-free diet Coke with cherry vanilla. I know you flavor at the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine, but this is Wild Cherry and Cream, which is kind of similar, but you know what? You don’t like it. You don’t like it? I don’t like it at all. She also hangs out with Kendall Jenner. Mm-hmm. Who I would be down to hang out with, you know? Yeah, yeah. Like if the two of them were like, Hey Stevie, um, we’re going to go do something, we’re gonna go to Erwan. We’re, well, if Kendall and Hailey had something, we go, something that they wanted to talk about, wanted to promote, and they thought they needed a place to stop, I think they could stop here at this show. We would lend our mouthpiece to Oh yeah. Haley and Kylie. Not Kylie. I didn’t say that. I said Haley and Kendall. What’s wrong with Kylie? Nothing’s wrong with Kylie. Something wrong with, but they don’t usually do things together. Oh. Oh, I just, I didn’t know who you said this. Dr. Pepper is the best I’ve ever had. Still hate it. Best I’ve ever had that right there. I think, I think ’cause it, first of all, I think it’s sugared. I’ll be honest with you, I think this is the worst Dr. Pepper I’ve ever had because it’s, it’s taking away, I’m not surprised from the thing that makes Dr. Pepper, Dr. Pepper and then you got a d him, cherry Sprite. Ah, yeah. It’s, this is for people who don’t like Dr. Pepper. That’s my unadulterated opinion. Well, I, I support that. Cherry Sprite, SubT tool. This is pretty good. Not bad. I like Cherry Sprite. I didn’t think I would. The thing that they’ve done is I don’t, I wouldn’t want a whole bottle though. They’ve still given you a, I can’t drink a whole bottle of soft. Drink anyway. And you shouldn’t 20 ounces. You shouldn’t. I mean, back when we were growing up, they were 16 ounces and then you would get a, you’d get a big one a, an extra one was 20 ounces. Right. And they, and they, for a while they had like a yellow part to show you that it was bigger. It was bigger. Yeah, because a big yellow one, four more ounces, four more ounces, and then now that’s all there is. It’s a crying and shame. Really? What cans are 12 ounces. That hasn’t changed, but there’s so few people now who are drinking just a regular soda, like even amongst kids like my, like Shepherd Good and his friends will be hanging out at the house and they’ll all get the diet Dr. Pepper. We don’t have regular Dr. Pepper. Maybe they would’ve get it if we had it, but they, this kids drink. Diet soda because the parents, it used to be the thing that, oh, par. Oh, that’s horrible. We would never drink it when we were kids. No, no. But the pa even the my, my mom would drink Tab. Tab, but she would buy me Ella. Oh, you know how many Millis? I drink a lot. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. I’ve seen, I’ve seen you drink 10,000 probably. I don’t know why I did this. They were room temperature. Because I wasn’t allowed to keep ’em in the fridge because there wasn’t enough room for my stuff. So they were stacked up over there by the kitchen table, like in that nook area. There was in the nook area. Uh, next where the potatoes next, the potato box. Yeah. And I would get home from a long day of running around. The town wouldn’t meet during the summer and I would grab one out of the thing, room temp, chug the whole thing, crush the can, throw it down. Then I would get another one and I would pour that over ice. And I would enjoy that one. You just have a, you’d have a, you’d shotgun one. Yeah, you gotta get one down and then you would savor one because 12 ounces wasn’t enough. 20 or four ounces. Man, I did that so, so many times, whatever is in Mela that could kill you will kill me. Residually. Yeah. I think your body’s probably gotten rid of it. You think when they do the autopsy, because you’re gonna get an autopsy. Oh yeah. All tall people do. Yeah. Everybody over six. Six automatically gets an autopsy from the government. Right. You think they’re gonna find me? Yellow remnants? Yeah. They’ll be like, well, whoa, there’s a lot of me yellow in here. Yeah. From the, from the preteen and teen years. There’s a whole layer of me yellow, right? Uh, yep. There it is. The the, the MY layer. Why are you making this motion? Because I’m going around my body. Oh. Watch the exclusive last meals episode with Stevie out now@mythicalsociety.com.
