We’re trying some weird new pumpkin spice products. Welcome to Good Mythical More. And welcome, Gwynedd from Sporked. Thanks for having me. Tis the season for- Pumpkin spice! PS everything! Everything. Does this excite you? Or are you like, “Uh, again?” I think after this many years at Sporked, it’s becoming a little bit like, do we need to? Yeah. But- I mean, they’re getting this, you know? This stuff is new, right? This year. Some of it’s new, some of it’s returning, but it’s all stuff that we have not had before. Okay. Mm, okay. Where shall we start? What do you think? I wanna start with the Pop-Tarts because Pop-Tarts are always nice to me. And I think, okay, so I have actually eaten these and I think that they’re delicious. Does it have a pumpkin pie filling? Yeah. Like, it’s like this should be really good, right? It is a small pumpkin pie, essentially. This is a good source of three B vitamins. That’s a lot of B vitamins. Yeah, I need all of them. All three of ’em. Do you want some? Jumping in the leaf pile on the front. Mm. I mean that is good. That’s like a taste of fall that, like, makes sense and is supposed to exist. It’s pretty pumpkin pie-ish. Right? Mm, pie-ish. I think this is good. I think if you like pumpkin pie. I think that it is more pumpkin spice than pumpkin pie. Okay. But pumpkin spice is kind of pumpkin pie. Eh, it’s spicier than the pumpkin pies that I like. Okay. It is pretty spicy. I know, I wonder if there is actually any pumpkin in the ingredients ’cause that’s a thing you usually learn about most pumpkin spice things is that they don’t really have any actual pumpkin in them. Sometimes pumpkin pies don’t. Sometimes it’s sweet potato. I don’t love it. Oh yeah, you’re right. That actually sounds good. I just don’t, I just don’t love it. Did it reveal itself? And the stuff on the outside- I didn’t see pumpkin. It looks like a, like a everything seasoning. I know. Or- It looks like peppercorns to me. Like when you get the assortment of colors of peppercorns. It has dried pumpkin but- Okay, dried. It contains 2% or less of wheat starch, salt, dried pumpkin, like dried pumpkin is right next to glycerin. Yum. So not a lot of dried pumpkin, but it does have dried pumpkin in addition to the B vitamins. I’m disappointed in this Pop-Tart experience. Okay. Oh, really? Well you came in with really high expectations. I know. I came in without expectations and I thought that those non-expectations were met perfectly. I’m feeling pretty posi about it. I like it. Yeah, I mean, the stuff that they’ve been feeding us this morning Two out of three. I mean, I’m not in a good headspace. You’re hating everything right now so I just don’t think- Well, it was food crimes! I mean, I wouldn’t call this a food crime but it’s not great. I won’t eat it again. You know what I would call a food crime? Uh-oh. This thing? The thing that Rhett has to eat. Oh, tell me more. Well you tell, you taste it. You tell me more. What’s sticking, a french fry? That’s a french fry. Okay. Doesn’t work as a straw. Thank God I didn’t lose. I’d be such a spoil sport right now. I’d have such a bad attitude right now. Why is it crunchy? What is it? It’s banana? Yeah. It’s a themed one, actually. Ice. Yeah. It’s banana and ice. Iced banana. There’s one more- And french fries. Well- Something orange in there. And ketchup. There we go, yeah. It’s a banana ketchup, blended with banana milk ice. It’s not bad at all. Yum. Banana milk ice? It’s not bad at all. I don’t appreciate the french fry but I understand why it’s on theme. You have to eat it. Uh, nope, I don’t. No, you don’t. I’m glad that it’s ice and that’s why it’s crunchy. Is there gonna be anything that’s gonna put me in a better mood? ‘Cause even Rhett having to enjoy that didn’t do it. I hope so. Okay. I want you to be happy so we’re not gonna do the pumpkin spice cheese next. We’ll get to that eventually. Okay. But how about, do you like mochi ice cream? Yeah. Yeah, that’s fun. Yeah. Bubblies, Bubbies? Bubbies. Bubbies. Bubbies is good. Mochi ice cream. Limited edition pumpkin spice. They have a green tea flavor. Oh, that sounds good. I love some mochi. I love some mochi. I do too. The only thing I don’t- They’re bringing it. It was in the fridge, I guess. Okay. Or the freezer. The only thing I don’t like about them is sometimes they have too much, they put like powder on them so they don’t stick to the packaging and sometimes it’s like why is there so much? Are you signaling to, like is it baseball? Baseball, yeah. Like, you touched your hat and I was like, “Hold on. Is somebody about to steal third?” Okay. I’m like hold on now, Gwynedd. I think I made it a little too tight and it’s kind of like popping off of my head, so like. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. It’s creeping up. As my big face moves, it goes like that. What you’re saying’s not making sense either, so. Why? I think it’s, the blood is not getting up there. I think you have a normal sized face. What’s that? My face size, you like it? My face size, you like it? Thank you. Mm. Mm, I think this is so good it’s crazy. Oh, this is good. My mood is lifting. The pumpkin ice cream is very nice. It really is. Now, you gotta take these out of the freezer ahead of time and let them sit on the counter for a moment so that they get like, you know. The right kind of consistency. The right, yeah. Which it looks like the kitcheneers have really done here. Yeah. They’re good. Like, yeah. There’s a little squish to them. They’re not rock solid. I love it! Mochi has allowed me, it’s made biting ice cream accessible to me. Okay. Really? I think these are definitely better. Mm-hmm Mm-hmm. Than the Pop-Tarts. Mm-hmm. It’s very special. It is special. I know, it’s a fall delight I think. Okay, how about- All right, now we can go with the cheese. Now we’re eating cheese. The Laughing Cow. Now I have The Laughing Cow cheese in my house on a regular basis. Me too. I will sneak a triangle. Mm-hmm. Which, they have like a million kinds now but this is actually, it threw me for a loop because I was like, “Oh, I wonder what kind of cheese they picked as the base for the pumpkin spice,” and it’s gouda, actually. And I was like, “That’s actually not what I would’ve thought of.” Oh, really? But gouda’s the best one I think. Okay. Can I have a utensil? Sorry. I haven’t tried this yet. It’s been sitting in the fridge. It’s mild. It’s a mild little flavor. It would be fun on your bagel. As a little treat. Mm. As a little treat, I kinda like it. It’s actually more savory than I thought it was going to be. Yeah, the pumpkin is coming through in a very subtle way. It’s real subtle. I do like it. But I think they dialed it to the right place. Mm-hmm. Yes, they did. I thought it was gonna be more like sweet cream cheese or something but it actually is mostly salty. I like it and I think it’s pretty good. We gotta move this all the way over there I think it’s a weird, I think it’s a weird idea, but- It feels a little bit like a stretch. Mm-hmm. To put pumpkin spice into your cheese. They’ll just do it with anything now. Okay, so Milanos. Why don’t we get the Malk out and we can dunk our Milanos in our Malk? So we’re doing two things here. So Malk is just almond milk? Yeah, I just think Malk is such a wild name for a product. Malk, is it Malk? Is it Malk? I think it is Malk. Is it Malk? Is it- Malk. I was saying Malk. It doesn’t say how to pronounce it on it. I think it’s Malk, ’cause almonds. Malk. Thank you. Malk. Like almonds. Yeah, I never thought of it that way before. I guess if you said almond, then. Coloration is- They do in certain parts of this state. I have a bad habit of saying ah-mond and people really don’t like that. This is weird. Oh, no! What? ‘Cause what is the Christmas thing? Eggnog. The Christmas thing. This is like fall nog. No! It’s not working. It’s not horrible but- Hey, the cookie’s good though. Oh, good. I thought it made the Malk good but it didn’t. Okay, the Malk is crazy tasting to me. It also looks like the color of, I don’t wanna say. Oh, okay. I can say. What? Like when you look at, when you watch shows about surgeries online, sometimes they show when people get- Oh, like stuff that comes out of a cow’s, like. That but I was thinking of when you get liposuction and they suck like the fat out. Oh god, Gwynedd! That’s what it looks like to me. Looks like human fat. Mm-hmm. Oh my god! It does not taste good. Those cookies are great though. You know what, Gwynedd? I upset everyone in the office. You can finish eating my cookie that you ate after that. Thanks. Mm, thanks. The cookie is very good. The cookie is good. I love Milano. Is this, let me eat some of this. I think the cookie is better than the cheese. Mm, they’re so light. I’m always afraid they’re gonna be dry and then you eat one you and you’re like, “No, it’s actually pretty good.” Yeah, cookie’s better than the cheese. Okay. Agreed? And I agree about the consistency, the texture of a Milano. Mm-hmm. I love a Milano. We didn’t like this. No. I think we liked it less than the Pop-Tarts. Yeah. Especially after your comparison. Gah! Sorry. Not a fan. Okay, so these are new this year. This is Hershey’s Nuggets and they’re pumpkin spice latte flavored so they should taste like coffee as well as pumpkin spice, right? Okay, thank you. Are they filled? Are they filled or are they essenced? I don’t know. I think they’re just essenced. What is a Nugget? This is a new thing for them? No, no, they’ve had Nuggets. Hershey’s has had Nuggets. I think so, yeah. Other kinds of Nuggets. So if you… Oh, it’s really soft. Oh, it is. It’s like a truffle. And there’s nothing orange inside. Just more of, more brown in there. I’m trying to get at the, the coffee-ness of it. It doesn’t taste right to me. Like, it doesn’t, I’m not getting coffee and I’m not really getting pumpkin spice either. It’s not coming together. No! What does it taste like to you? Chocolate. It’s weak. Just chocolate, that’s it? Yeah. What was that initial reaction from you, Gwynedd? ‘Cause it was- I was seeking what this tastes like because it really, it does not taste like- Oh, oh, oh. Sometimes you have to dig deep. I just thought it was like an a-ha or like a- “Oh my god!” Yeah, yeah, yeah. “I got nothing!” No, I was just, I was seeking. I was seeking something and I never found it. Yeah, I don’t know. They taste really good. I mean- Really? But just for chocolate. I don’t think so. Eh, it’s okay. I think it tastes a little bit odd. Well, what? Let’s leave it over here then. It’s not as good as that pumpkin cheese. Yeah, it tastes like pencil shavings to me and I don’t- And you don’t typically partake in those. Not usually. Now, we’re going with Alden’s Organic pumpkin spice ice cream. Limited edition. It’s un-bite-able. As far as I know- But it can be spoon-able. Okay. As far as I know, this is new and Alden’s, if you’ve never had their ice cream, it is typically really good. I have one. Thank you. I was about to eat it with a fork. Never had Alden’s, nope. It’s good. They make really, really good ice cream so I have high hopes for this being delicious and that we’ll all be happy and we’ll end this on, like, a happy note. Mm. Mm. Not as good as the mochi. What’s happening? It’s maybe a bit too subtle. Mm, mm-hmm. But I think it’s because they want you to eat the whole bowl. Mm-hmm. It’s odd, though. Yeah, it doesn’t really taste like pumpkin spice to me ’cause it, what do you expect? You want some like cinnamon, and- I gotta end on a good note, so. Mm-hmm. It is not this. No. And that’s so good. That’s like a world of difference, right? So much better. Yeah, the ice cream on the Bubbies is- Get yourself a Bubbies. I mean- That’s the takeaway. Yeah. Also, go to Sporked.com Mm-hmm. So you can discover all these things that are missing from your life. It’s a source of food happiness. I know, and also seasonal fun and revelry. Mm-hmm. We all love, yeah. People love pumpkin spice, so look. Things that you need in your life, seasonal fun and revelry. Don’t be one of those people that just feels like it’s just being forced on you. Just embrace it. Please, embrace it. Overdose on pumpkin. Well, no, don’t overdose on anything. Just eat pumpkin and enjoy it. Buy Bubbies! That’s enjoying it. You’re so welcome.
