Welcome to good mythical spork is doing some amazing work tasting things and then telling you what you should and shouldn’t buy when you make your trip to the grocery store. And they taste some weird stuff. This month >> this is weirdest. We’re going to get to taste the weirdest stuff. >> But first, we’re going to do a freeze frame like we are at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. [Music] Okay. You wind it in the still. That was cool. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Mrick, hello. >> Join us. >> Me? >> How you doing? >> Hello. Hello. >> Excuse me. >> These are These are some weird items. >> I see one I’m going to save for >> the very end. the very end cuz it’s so weird. >> We have a myriad of strange things to try today. >> I mean, it’s like, is that KFC deodorant? Don’t tell me. >> I’m super excited about this. >> Well, you shouldn’t be. >> This is one of the worst things I’ve had in quite some time, and I’m excited for all of us to taste it. >> A big gummy It’s just a big gummy pop. >> It’s not. >> Hold on. Hold on. This is what I call a pool treat at my house. >> Yes. >> Hey, we’re going to go to the grocery store and we’re going to get some pool treats. >> This is not This is a pool nightmare. This is not a pool treat. >> Hold on. They make it seem like it’s going to be >> Oh, and it is >> flaccid. Trolley is >> Oh, and it is gummy worms. >> Can I have one, Link? >> Oh, >> yes. >> You don’t like this? >> Well, that’s only about half of the whole thing, right? >> What? >> So, like the most important part. >> Oh, god. Look at that. >> Is that you have to eat it? >> So, >> it’s disgusting. It’s >> chewy gummy texture, but it’s frozen. And then in the middle, it says that there is a >> I think this is a modern marvel. You like that? >> It doesn’t taste good. >> Okay, thank you. If it ta if it tasted good, I would love this consistency. >> Absolutely. >> The consistency was something I was very excited about. >> Well, because I think I can bite it. >> Uh-huh. You can. >> I can. >> But do you want to? >> You can also lip it and it breaks. So, it’s like the ultimate link pop. >> But is it the texture of a gummy? But the Okay. Yeah. What is it? >> It’s an icy. I think >> it’s like a I would call it a slimy. >> It’s like a popsicle with a lot of gelatin in it. >> Yeah. >> I mean, look at that. >> It’s very Yeah, it’s very flaccid and kind of mobile. Um I think the flavor is fine. I wish it was just like an actual gummy though because it’s not a gummy. I think they are trying to do something interesting. I think it’s weird. I think it’s different. But I I I mean I ate this before and I’m still thinking about how much I don’t want to eat it. >> I think Whoa, I like it. It got stuck in my throat. >> I think that some people >> I do I think some people are going to love this though. I I don’t disagree with it being a little bit >> off-putting >> the flavor for me is the thing I don’t like. >> Really? >> I feel like the texture like if it was chocolate >> Oh, that would I feel like that would be weird, but I would like it. >> I think if it was like more like a fudge sickle that would that would make sense. But yeah, >> what a pudding pop should be. >> Yes. Is the bottom the same consistency? Is it the same flavor or two different flavors? >> Technically two different flavors, but I didn’t find like a huge taste difference between the two. >> Come on, Jordan. It is different. >> And it’s biable. >> Okay. It’s slimy. >> I think it’s it’s flaccid. >> It says it’s grape and strawberry. >> I don’t know. Maybe we got to pass these around. >> This is a fun little poultry. >> Don’t get them on your keyboards. >> I’m I mean I’m intrigued. I love that >> cuz maybe it’s a lesbian, you know, like >> it could be. >> Yeah. >> Don’t like flask. >> No, that we don’t. >> Something about that’s just not >> You’re right that I don’t know how that would make >> I don’t really know. I was trying to I was trying to help you, Jordan. >> No, I think you’re right, Stevie. I think generally gay people have good taste and I don’t think this tastes good. >> Right. >> All right. We got one coming your way right now. This is a split decision. >> Wow. >> We got a split decision on >> this decision. Just like a trolley gummy pop is split in its flavor. Now, this one, this feels like it’s going to be polarizing. >> Yes, these are Blue Diamond cherry slurpee flavored almonds. >> Oh, no. Blue Diamond. They’ll do anything at Blue Diamond. >> You mad at them? What’s going on? >> I know they do. >> I’m a big fan. >> They do my favorite nuts of Blue Diamond, but they’re they’re going really far a field. >> Yeah, this is screaming for attention, right? They were trying to get a press release with this one. It’s a candy coating that Oh, I hate it. I hate it so much. >> Do you like cherry? >> No, >> I don’t either. So, I don’t like these. >> I love almonds. I >> I do like cherries. >> I think I have a problem. I eat almonds at like 10:00 in the morning every day. >> Bad boy alert. >> Salted and roasted. >> Oh my god. >> But, uh, I’ll also get the, um, smokehouse ones, which are great. >> Wow. The salt and vinegar ones we’ve gushed about. >> Naughty. >> I tried the elote, >> which you didn’t like. >> Which I didn’t like. >> Okay. >> Too buttery. >> So, you’re a nut for nut, as they say. >> I’m nut for nut, but don’t put any candy on my nut. >> Here’s the thing. He’s actually not nuts for nuts. He’s nuts for almonds. >> You know what I got in my pantry? >> Tell me. >> Walnuts. A big bag. >> I have walnuts. >> You know what else I got? >> What? >> Straight up pumpkin seeds. Del. >> Not really a nut, but kind of a nut. You know what I recently got? Just Brazil nuts. Just a whole thing of Brazil nuts. Great for your thyroid. >> And I’ll pop a one, a two. Stop there. Got to be a good boy. >> So much selenium. >> I got peanuts. >> I got almonds. We got three or four different flavors of almonds. >> Wow. What? I have pistachios. >> Of course I got those with and without the shells. I got more nuts than you, man. Telling you right now. >> Boys. Boys. >> Cashews. You don’t like cashews? I got cashews. >> You don’t like cashews. >> The only thing that you’ve mentioned that I don’t like is cashew. Okay. >> Why is that? cuz that seems like something you would like. >> They don’t have the consistency of a good pop. I don’t like the texture as much. >> The flavor is incredible. >> And um it’s like, >> you know, it’s like trying to do metallergy with a soft rock. >> I don’t want that. >> Which I’ve which I’ve never tried, >> of course. Yeah. >> So, my take on these as a nut and cherry lover is that they’re not bad, but the savory almonds from Blue Diamond are in a league of their own, and these do not approach it. This is That’s horrible. >> I would agree. I I think that if you’re in 7-Eleven and you’re craving a sweet nut >> and you see these, I I don’t think they’re bad. I think you could enjoy them. But if you’re not, >> don’t go into a 7-Eleven and announce that. >> Yes. Absolutely. >> Give me that sweet nut. >> Exactly. Yeah. >> You don’t want to do that. >> Something bad will happen to you. So, >> I have no help, unfortunately, on the trolley debate because I’m split between what all three of you said cuz I don’t love the flavor. >> Exactly, Stevie. texture that you know what they call that? >> Well, >> the trolley problem. >> Yeah, Link, that’s good, man. >> The texture is a little like cons concerning like there’s it’s a little like Oh, this is not >> how do it like how they’re puzzling. >> It’s It’s Yeah. >> What am I putting into my body? >> Why is it melted but not melted? >> Yes. Yes. It’s confusing. This one, I think, is the contender to then maybe make us happy at the pool. >> I hope so. These we also found to be freaky deicky. Um, they’re very strange. So, have you ever had a Hi-Chew? >> Yep. They’re great. They’re magical. >> Are delicious. >> They’re not sticky. The chewiness somehow doesn’t translate into stickiness to the teeth. Yes. And it’s a miracle. >> So, let me read before you take a bite. Let me read to you how they describe this. Naturally and artificially flavored fruity frozen dessert. Silky confectionary filling with a fruity flavored coating. It’s just a lot of words. >> That’s a lot of words. >> And they don’t all make sense. >> I feel like I’m going to take a bite out of it. >> Is that just filled with icing? >> Fruity frozen dessert silky confectionary filling. I >> I’m trying to make it look just like the front but with my bite. >> Yeah. I want to tell you you you’re going to have to bite it cuz you need to taste the inside. Yeah, but it’s leaking out. All of that’s the inside, isn’t it? >> If you do it quick, your teeth don’t know. >> Quick, quick. >> If you do it quick, your teeth don’t know you did it. I’m making my teeth warm. >> Come on. Quick. Get it. Get it. Yeah. Good job. >> See, if I strike it like an axe. >> Yeah, >> it helps. >> Like a snake. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. >> Um, how bizarre is the inside of these? >> Well, I don’t know. I would say it’s a silky confection. >> It tastes like forbidden food to me. Do you know what I mean? It tastes like something that like you’re supposed to leave in a cabinet to make it smell good. Like a bar of some kind and then I >> don’t That’s what it That’s what it tastes like to me. The texture is so strange. >> I wouldn’t go back to these. Yeah, >> guys. >> I think what we’re seeing is a new development of food technology that is being applied in both of these treats. >> Let me hear about that. It’s the gelatinization of pool trees. >> Yes, >> I think this is gelatinized in there. I >> I would agree. I think that’s kind of what it’s giving. >> Let’s find out. >> Once again, I don’t think it’s for me. I don’t think it’s bad, but nothing would ever make me purchase this over like a fudge pop, a tangerine, regular popsicle. You know, >> it doesn’t hold cold. >> So, here’s what it has. >> Just like the other one. So, it almost feels warm to bite into it. The trolley ones do have gelatin. >> Gross. >> Okay. >> But this instead has locust bean gum and gel gum >> and locust bean >> carrageenan. Isn’t that a guy from kung fu? >> David carragean. Yeah. >> Yeah. I knew somebody would get that. Uh >> yeah. That’s a type of seaweed they use to thicken things. >> It tastes It tastes thickened. I I It’s not as good as the trolley. >> I like the trolley. >> It’s not as weird. >> It’s a The trolley gummy bars are like experience. >> Okay. >> That’s where I’m at on this. >> Okay. I think I don’t think that’s wrong. I agree with that. >> You like the blue the blue diamond better than the Hi-Chew. >> Yeah. >> What? >> It’s still a nice almond, you know. >> No, it’s not. Uh this is interesting. >> So, as we’re all familiar with PBR, there’s hair on it. This looks like Steviey’s hair. Stevie, >> can I May I ask? >> Are you Are you laying on this cheese? Um, it’s paped blue ribbon beer infused cheddar cheese. >> That sounds nice. >> They have a good logo. It’s It’s um >> And this is a good concept. >> It It communicates >> timelessness and cheap beer. >> I think it’s fun. I think it feels like a thing that, you know, you’d see, you’d buy. Help yourself. This might be what was inside of that Hi-Chew Pop. >> Yes, similar textures. >> Oh, it’s got a strong beer smell. I didn’t hold back, >> which I appreciate because you don’t want people asking where’s the beer taste. >> It’s there and it’s >> It tastes like lemon to me. >> Yes. I think What’s happening? Because I >> Is it cuz we ate the pop first? >> No, I think this has notes of citrus in it. To me, this tastes like hops and citrus. You lose all semblance of cheddar cheese whatsoever. >> No cheddar flavor, >> but I think it’s interesting and I don’t think it tastes bad. It’s giving Lysol a little bit, but I still find it pleasant. >> I would definitely go back to this. I’m not getting the hops enough. >> Um, I have rekindled an obsession that Stevie started on tour. Stevie, do you know what I’m about to say? >> I know what you’re about to say. Well, there was a there was a few little Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The the the associated one with the snack you’re eating. That makes sense. Yeah, I do know. >> Hot water. >> Hop splash. >> Oh, >> what? >> I’ve been drinking the wrong one. >> Yeah. And she feels strongly about that. I got water. >> I got into hot water and she does not like it. She doesn’t. >> Hot water. They’re flavored, but they’re really good. And they’re like they’re hoppy zerocalorie waters, non-alcoholic, and then they’ll add other flavors like grapefruit. >> Hop splash. >> Oh shoot. >> Is the Sierra Nevada one that is that actually tastes like beer but zero calories, zero zero nothing in it. There’s nothing in it. >> Well, where we put those I think we’re putting number one. >> Yep. >> I agree. >> I got to try Hoblash. But I do have to recommend hop water. >> Well, you’ve tried a bunch of hop splash because that’s what we had on tour. >> Yeah. And then you misapplied it. >> No, I mean I need to go back and >> Okay. >> All right, Link, bring uh that one in. >> Fruit uh what? No, >> don’t call me that. Um >> ro How do you read that? Root beer float pieces. >> Yeah, this sounds promising. Can I say it? >> Um yes, you can absolutely say that. These are root beer float pieces from Trader Joe’s. They’re vanilla sandwich cookie pieces with popping candy covered in a root beer flavored confectionary coating. >> We love confectionary candy. >> Popping candy. >> Silky pop. >> Oh, it smells like root beer. >> I feel like if it’s a if it’s a popping candy, you got to eat the whole thing, right? >> Yeah, I would assume. Are you guys pro root beer? >> I am. I’m not. >> Okay. >> Hm. What What is that candy? That’s just in um powder form. That’s not not a pixie stick, but >> fun dip. >> The blander. It’s like a bland pixie stick. >> Cocaine. >> Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. >> There’s a there’s a sparkle to it almost. Is it there’s a pop rock thing happen? Oh, it is. Yeah, cuz it’s a popping can. >> Yeah. >> Um >> you said it. >> I like this. I like it a lot as a root beer guy. >> I like it a lot, too. I don’t know if blindfolded I would be able to guess that this was root beer necessarily. I think I would be >> No one going in was helpful. >> Yeah. I think if I tried it not knowing I would be like I don’t really know what that is, but I think it tastes good. The cookiey’s light. It has a little bit of a vanilla flavor. I think it’s not too sweet. I think you do actually get the popping candies. I think it’s fun. >> It’s got the fizz of a root beer. I mean, they put it in a candy. This is a an achievement. Traitor. >> I don’t hate it either. >> Oh, I don’t hate it. >> Well, then I feel like that’s got to be number one. I think that has to be right up top if we all can get on board with it. Especially as a root beer hater. >> Yeah, it is strange, but I like it. >> And link, I think we should go with yours because this last one is uh well, there’s multiple reasons we’re going to go last with that one. >> Gummers. >> Guppers. >> Guppers. Gummy liquid filled poppers. >> Popping pickles. >> Yeah. So, we tried these recently. They’re very strange and you they sound strange now, but then you look at them, you go, “Whoa, that’s even stranger.” >> Oh my god. >> They look like a corn. >> Oh my god. >> And they’re individually gummy pickle. >> They’re individually wrapped gummy >> squeeze squeezed edges to pop open individual candies. >> That Yeah, that would have been helpful. >> So, if you just squeeze the edge >> Oh my god, I love the texture. >> I don’t like the squeezing it open. That feels bad to me. Um. Oh, wow. >> This is, and I don’t want to get us in trouble. This is giving flaccid. >> Yeah. So much that we’re eating today is giving us >> such a boy fl. >> I mean, the texture of this is uncanny. >> And it has chambers in it. >> Oh, it does. >> Mhm. Chambers. Good juice. >> Guys, come on. They shouldn’t be selling this. Yeah. >> Look at that. And you can squeeze it and it the the liquid comes to the end. >> Okay. This is what I’ll say. As penile >> liquid comes to the end. >> Yeah. As penile as it is, um it is delicious. >> What is the flavor supposed to be? >> The texture is incredible. >> Yeah. >> It’s a sweet pickle flavor. >> But this is what I’ll tell you. You can’t eat this on the Subway. You know what I mean? This is something you have to eat in private at home and you have to never tell anyone you’ve ever eaten it. >> Agreed. >> I can’t believe I’m eating it on a TV show. >> Mhm. >> Um it’s it’s it’s wrong. But it’s also right. >> Yeah. I wouldn’t even tell my family members about it. >> It is so strange. >> Do you like >> I don’t know yet. That’s what I love about it. >> Yeah. Fun. >> I the packaging I’ve never seen >> a lot. It’s It’s such a bold move. Guppers. But I think if you ate a bite of a penis, it would be this texture. >> I do think. >> Yeah, probably. I haven’t tried. None of us are going to do that. >> No. >> Well, you don’t know how desperate things might get in the apocalypse. >> I guess that’s true. We don’t have any plans on currently doing it. >> If I’m hungry, is that what you need? >> Yeah, you might eat your own penis. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Might not need it anymore. >> Oh, yeah. >> Well, I hope all that flexibility pays off for me. >> I know. I see you around the office doing your stretching all the time. I’ve never been watch I I I just can’t wrap my mind around it. >> My mind >> What does it taste like? I mean, it would have been easy to make it taste like a pickle. >> No, >> it it’s not. It’s It’s weird. >> It doesn’t. >> Mhm. >> It doesn’t taste like It tastes like watermelon. >> It It Yeah, it doesn’t taste like a pickle. >> Honestly, if it was dill pickle flavor, sour pickle, it’d be number one for me. >> I agree. Now, wrapping things up and also helping us like hygienate ourselves, >> we’ve got fried chicken flavored toothpaste from KFC. >> Are you serious? Is it for dogs? >> It’s for us. >> It’s for us. >> What? >> So, it’s for dirty dogs. >> Finger out. You can do it. You can do it. >> Here it comes. >> Oh, man. It’s It’s uh It’s clear and viscous. >> Link got the first fruits. >> Gosh, guys. Now, you’re not supposed to eat it. You’re just supposed to >> Well, let’s see. >> Brush. >> Let’s see. Do not swallow. Do not put it in your eyes. >> Why would you put it in your eyes? Oh, God. Is everything else we’ve eaten mess this up? >> It tastes like a chocolate bar that someone found in a garage. >> Yes. Really? Uh, yeah. It has that kind of It’s trusted by dentist. Discarded. >> Which ones? Are they in prison? >> It’s It’s not 11 herbs and spices. I don’t understand what. >> Oh, when you spit it out, it starts tasting a little bit different. >> Hm. Describe that. >> It’s like I just ate chicken. >> Oh, >> really? It’s like I ate bad chicken. >> You have a chicken aftertaste. >> It’s like I ate old chicken. >> So weird. Wait, this is a gimmick. I hope this is like >> Yeah, KFC will get >> You know what this will do? This will get This will get you on TikTok. >> Why though not make it normal toothpaste looking? >> Good question. >> Why does it look guppers adjacent? >> It’s something else. Like why does it have a pump thing versus >> a pump? Why is it viscous and like white slashtransparent? >> Yeah, it’s translucent. >> Yeah, it could be solid. It could be okay. >> I guess this toothpaste. This gives you something else to talk about. >> So, you’re supposed to like bring that to a party. >> Just give people >> You guys got to see what this looks like when it comes out. >> Yeah, everybody. >> That’s the real thing. >> The dispenser itself. Yeah. I I don’t agree with that. Um >> Well, it’s been manufactured in Australia. >> Oh, that explains everything. I think it’s bad and I think it’s a sin. I think that with what a fried chicken restaurant where you have mac and cheese and mashed potatoes and biscuits, you could do so many brand collabs, PR gimmicks, whatever. There are so many things you could make. The fact that you’re going to make something and it’s toothpaste and it’s bad is stupid. And KFC, you should be ashamed of yourself. >> If it was good, it would have been a great idea, but you really whiffed on the flavor there. >> Agreed. >> Wow. >> So, let’s cap it up and throw it away. >> Get rid of that. Well, I’m sorry I brought all these things here today, but I’m glad we found a couple that we actually like. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Wonderhole season 2 is here. Watch the second episode early and ad free exclusively on Mythical Society. >> Okay. Well, there’s not like a giant blood stain, which is what I was worried about. >> Oh, we’re looking for blood. >> Well, I think we’re looking for any bodily fluid. Hold on, hold on a second. Hold on. What have you been doing in your jacket? >> I got it from a vintage store. >> Well, it’s been vintage. hard. >> I think >> somebody used it really, really well and aggressively. >> Oh my god. >> Oh, >> on the inside. That’s against your body. >> Oh no. >> What is going on? >> Well, I I took it to the cleaners multiple times. >> Yeah, you can’t clean that kind of thing out. You can’t clean bodily fluids out. They stay forever. And that’s the only thing that shows up is bodily fluids. >> You don’t know that. >> You’ve got on your jacket. >> Oh, >> yep. That’s what’s happening right now.
