GMMore 2903: Pastries That Look EXACTLY Like Fruit? (Taste Test)

We’re ranking realistic looking fruit pastries by their looks alone. Welcome to “Good Mythical More.” Apparently, there are pastries that are being made to fool people into thinking they’re eatin’ fruit. Yeah, I mean, look at this one. Boy, that looks- Just like a- Mango. I was like, well, an unripe… What is that? I couldn’t have told you it was a mango. I think it’s a mango. No, it’s a pastry! No, the pastry, my friend, is right here. And this is from TuCha. TuCha? TuCha? TuCha? Stevie, do you have any information on these, like how much we paid or any of that? Mmm. Yes. I’m curious if they’re… Are they really expensive? That would be what I… Hold on. Hold on, don’t you have to walk to get it? Yeah, yeah, right. She’s goin’ to the file cabinet, where we keep all of the information for this show. No, I will retrieve the pricing information. The only thing to note about this is that the bakery decides how ripe the mangoes are each day. And this day, the mangoes aren’t that ripe. Now, we will give you- $16.49. $16.49 for this. We will give you the pleasure of this being cut open and eaten on camera. But we’re not gonna do that because we’re gonna be ranking several of these. Well, we are do that. You said, “But we’re not gonna do that.” We’re not gonna do that yet. First, we’re gonna judge all of them, and then we’re gonna dole them out to different crew members who’ve been naughty or nice. The person who’s been the nicest gets the best one, and the person who’s been the naughtiest gets the worst one. Okay. That’s right, Rhett. That’s how we do things around here. Comin’ out of Altadena Bakery, we have, as you saw in the teaser, a green apple. This is quite impressive. Oh, there’s a little thing there, don’t look at that. But that happens on real apples too. Sometimes. And then this. Oh, that right there wants to come- It’s $12.50! $12.50. It’s bigger. This thing wants to just come off. But cheaper. Ooh, it’s real gooey, really gooey. Did you bring in a real apple so we can see how it compares? What a real apple looks like? It’s darker. I mean, there are some apples that might be that green. Yup. I would say it’s a little unrealistically green. Genetically modified. But, that makes it probably a little more appetizing. Okay, moving along. I wonder if it tastes like an apple. I’m dying to know what’s inside of these things! This is a raspberry, from Artelice Patisserie. This is what a real strawberry looks like. And the one that is- Mm-hmm, it almost looks like a raspberry. It’s a raspberry. Raspberry. What did I say? Strawberry. This is what a raspberry looks like. Mmm, this is what a raspberry tastes like. And the pastry is not the right size. Not the right size! It is not the right size- Boo! So we hate it. We hate this so much. We want it to be very little. But look at how it’s got a little handle. It is pretty awesome, actually. I would say this probably costs $17. Yeah. Oh, that’s a different file cabinet, right? Yup. She’s reachin’ for it. It’s very pretty, the way that they did that. And you can see the inside comin’ through the outside, which is a nice little- It’s got raspberry inside. Boy, I almost don’t wanna let a crew member eat that though. Always eat a raspberry if someone hands one to ya. Never turn down a raspberry. Never turn down a raspberry. Never turn down a berry or raw broccoli. Unless you’re in the woods, and it’s- I hate the fact that you said that like literally 20 years ago, and I can’t get it outta my head. “Never turn down broccoli, raw broccoli.” Yeah. And I haven’t. You’ve lived by that. I’ve lived by it, but not on purpose, like just out of guilt or something. Do you know how many minutes I’ve added to your life because of that? Probably 17 to 20. You’re gonna be around to say goodbye- Wishing I was dead. You’re gonna say goodbye to that- For 17 more minutes. Your great-great-grandchild is gonna be comin’ in on their hover board, just tryin’ to get to grandad before he expires, and you’re gonna have 17 to 20 extra minutes because of me telling you to eat broccoli. Never turn it down? And little Charles Lincoln Neal the VII, or whatever the hell it’s gonna be- Oh, wow. Is gonna hoverboard in there, and he is gonna be like, “Pawpaw,” and then you’re gonna die. But, you’re gonna get to see his face. What if he’s feeding me raw broccoli? Then you’ll get a few extra minutes, a few extra seconds. Okay. But what if I fall down a ravine and I’m smooshed between two rocks? You wanna die faster? And I just, I’m like, “God, I just wanna die!” And then I’m like, “That 17 minutes! Curse you, Rhett, and your raw broccoli sage advice!” Well, if you’re dying from an injury, you won’t be into the extra 17 to 20 minutes that you get from eatin’ the broccoli by default. Unless you happen to die of natural causes at the same time that you’re dying of an accident. Okay. I think that the apple is better than that. Hold on now, that mango, it’s got airbrushing on it. Okay, you’re right. It’s wonderful. Yeah. This is gooey and… This, I feel like I could do that. I couldn’t. But I feel like the raspberry is too big. And now, let me see if I can get in. Careful. Let’s see if I can get this one in. Okay. This. $12! $12. Boy, that is amazing. $12, from Aurora. That is absolutely amazing. Aurora, and they don’t charge too much for it either. That is absolutely… It looks completely… Now, let’s bring in the real one, just to compare. Yeah, yeah. This is what a real lemon looks like. Hmm. Wow. Real lemons are smaller. Yeah, more matte finished. And they look more like pastries than I remember. Fooled ya, this is a real lemon! I think this is chocolate, dude. It’s the worst looking one. I mean, it doesn’t have any texture to it, ya don’t see like the dimples or the pores of a lemon. I feel like we’ve bein’ really difficult, really hard on ’em. It’s last place, last place. That’s goin’ to whoever’s been the baddest. But at least it’s the right size. I think the raspberry is around $8.50. Oh, not that bad. $10.75! Okay. Okay. What do we have here, Rhett? Just tell me what that is. From Cool Bites Patisserie. I know that it’s a pistachio, only because I see the pistachios over there, but I don’t know if I would be saying that if I didn’t know that. Right ’cause here’s pistachios. $18. This is our most expensive. Up close, it’s very cool looking. And there’s layers to this, like somebody crafted it. It’s translucent. It’s like it has a skin on it. I think it might be number one, Link. Well, except for the size. The size is off. It’s not as appetizing as the other ones. Then I think that means mango’s still number one. Yeah. You wanna get some people in here who’ve been naughty and nice? Yes. Okay, let’s start with who’s been the naughtiest out of KG, Brittany, Mikayla, Matt, and Davin. Who’s been the naughtiest? Probably Carney. Yup, let’s bring in Carney. He’s always makin’ little naughty jokes and laughin’ at ’em. I heard you walkin’ over. He should be here. Which one’s- You get the lemon, from Aurora. Ooh! Do you like lemon-flavored things? Lemon desserts tend to be very up my alley, yeah. Oh, right up your alley. Oh, step in, step closer. How much up your alley? And then hold that. I think a lemon- I’m gonna hold the plate for ya. Okay. Do you wanna cut it for a nice little somethin’? No. Okay. Don’t… What, do we? Don’t you want that satisfying cut? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You of all people! Come on! Well, we don’t have anything to cut it with. You of all people want us to cut it! I could bite down in the middle. He could bite down in the middle. Let’s get a good knife. I’m gettin’ it. Stevie, will you go to the file cabinet- Touch it. That we keep all the information? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Take it up. Do we have a good knife? I’m just gonna take a bite down the middle. Ooh. No, no. Don’t do that? They’re gettin’ a… They have a fork. Yeah, he’s gonna bite it down… Oh, I forgot we don’t do knives here. But bite it down the middle. Okay. Yes bite it down the middle, or don’t bite it down the middle? Bite it down the middle, yeah. Alright, let’s do a vote. And then show it. Let’s do a vote in the comments. Okay, here we go. Nobody look while I bite this. Oh, God! Oh, it’s crunchy. Oh my God! Mmm. What is that in there, dude? Mmm! It’s got a… Turn it this way, it’s got a gelatinous- It looks good. Gummy center kinda? It’s very good. Is it like puddin’ in there? It’s lemon. This is like- It tastes like a lemon. A cream fresh. Yeah, mm-hmm. We’re very familiar with that around here. And it, yeah, kinda like a jelly in there. I don’t know, I’m not a dessert maker, but it’s really good. Put it down. Okay. You did it. Okay. You’re the worst. Okay. You’re the worst. He’s still bein’ naughty. Okay, who else has been naughty? ‘Cause the person in the middle is neutral. Out of KG, Brittany, Mikayla, and Davin? And Davin, and Davin. Let’s see, let’s see, let’s see. Mikayla is so naughty sometimes. She’s always naughty to me. Okay. Do I have to? Yeah. I think she’s just- But the good news… Do you like raspberry? 50/50. Do you like apple? I’ll try that. Do you like apple? I do like apple. Alright, well then you’re not as naughty as I thought you were. Today, I think someone who really likes raspberry… Who’s been naughty and likes raspberries? Who’s been naughty and likes raspberries? Oh, it’s not my time. Okay, I’m gonna- Yeah, you’re out, get outta here. Alright, okay. We’re gonna give you somethin’ better. Okay. KG. KG has been so naughty lately. Yup. Don’t say that. She wears a headset and people talk in it, and then she repeats what they say. And sometimes she just acts like she’s talkin’ to somebody to get out of a conversation. Yes, yes, very much. She does that on a regular basis. I’m actually jealous. This is the one I would wanna take. So I brought you a knife so we can cut it. We want you to cut it. Oh. So I’m gonna hold the thing. We want you to cut it. How do you want, like this way? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I think you should cut it- Watch your finger. I think you should cut it that way. Yeah. I love how your thumb’s resting on my thumb. It’s just like a little, “Hey, I’m here.” I declare a thumb war. Whoa! Ooh. Oh, hold it up. They can’t see it, KG. Come on. I’m gettin’ there. That looks incredible. It’s what I was hoping it would be. Wow. Who do I need to… It’s got- Can I have a bite? Yeah, you can. Oh. I give you permission. I give him permission. Yeah, yeah. Dink it. So half of it is chocolate, and half of it- Ooh. Ooh. That’s really good. You want some? Oh! What, what? I got somethin’ in my throat. Okay, nevermind. You can have his, I’ll take this for me. That’s so good. You should take a bite of the other side. Okay, thank you. Man! Dang, so how long has this been goin’ on? Is this a new thing, doin’ these, is this a trend? Mikayla’s been so naughty, but not as naughty as KG. No, I think it is a classic- Get over here. Like traditional thing. I think that maybe people have gotten better at it, but I think it’s pretty classic. Do you like apples? I do like apple. I love a mango though, just hint-hint. And he’s got paper towel still on your knife there. Yeah. You’re about to- He wants me to eat paper. Yeah. He’s naughty, not me. So what… It feels like you should take- Yeah, I’m not eating anything. It feels like you should take a bite of this, like a real apple. Like a actual apple? I was thinkin’ that too. Yup, yup, get rid of the knife. Thank you for… There we go. Thank you for lookin’ out- Just take a bite. Ooh, it’s sticky. Yeah, I told you. I’m gonna hold this. Can I take this little paper? No. Oh, you want me to take the whole thing. But it’s so sticky. Just take it off the paper. Okay. Actually, it says 2010s is when it started poppin’ off. Okay. It’s comin’ out at the bottom. Oh no- Don’t show ’em that. We’ve lost the base! Oh. I think we do need to cut it. I think we gotta cut it. We gotta cut it, we gotta cut it. No, no, don’t cut it! You don’t wanna cut it? Don’t cut it! Just do this. You wanna scoop? Ooh, that thumb is so close to the knife. Oh, God. Yeah, but it’s goin’… I just poked my thumb. Ooh! Yeah! Now pick it up. We’re having so much trouble. Now hold that part away from the camera. Okay. Oh God, Link. Oh my God. I’m so nervous. And then bite that. Bite that like you’ve never bitten an apple before. Deep, deep, deep! Like I’ve never bitten an apple before? Deep! Okay. No, the side, bite the side. But look at all the stuff right here. No, don’t worry- What happened to you do you, man? And then, here. You are stressin’ me out! Bite it! I just wanna eat the apple. This is why she hates you, man! Bite the apple! Bigger, bigger! What is it? Is it apple flavored? Now show it to the people. Okay. Oh, God. Show it to the people. Yeah- What is that? That’s delicious kinda. That’s really good. Whoa! Oh, it’s green apple flavored- Take a bite of- It’s like a- Or like a piece of the crust. Mmm! I like that quite a bit. Like the end. It’s like a white chocolate appley flavor. Whew! I like that quite a bit. It’s another cream fresh. Yeah. Everything is so fresh in there. It’s so fresh. This is delish. I might go buy one of these. Mmm. Yeah. Dang! Get yourself an apple from Altadena. It’s not overwhelmingly apple either. Mmm, mm-hmm. Okay. It won’t leave my finger. It’s like stuck to my… There we go. You want a baby wipe? Yes, please. Thank you so much. We got ’em. Thank you. Alright, so now we’re down to Brittany and Davin. Okay, between Brittany and Davin. Who’s the naughtiest? Who’s been the naughtiest? Davin’s trying to say Brittany. I don’t know. Okay. Brittany is so naughty. But I think Davin gets a little naughty on the weekends. I think he gets a little naughty on the weekends. He doesn’t bring it into work though. No, he doesn’t, he doesn’t. But maybe on the weekends, a little naughty. What do ya think? Yup. But Brittany, weeknights. So we’re gonna save the mango for Brittany? Yeah. Okay- Brittany is weeknight naughty. Davin, come in and have a pistachio. Okay. It’s the ugliest one. It’s really ugly. It doesn’t look appetizing at all. And I wonder if it’s pistachio flavored. Do you wanna eat… I think it’s just straight cut down the middle. I think so too. Ya know, and I think you can keep this one intact. There ya go. Well, what a treat for Davin. Oh, oh, oh. Ooh. Oh, it’s crunchy. Oh, oh. It’s thin. Oh, it’s filled with pistachios too. Yup. Oh, wow. Whoa, whoa! That does not look appetizing. Oh, really? What? Come on, man. That’s awesome lookin’. You don’t like pistachios? This looks like when you have- Bite it! Don’t say it. Yeah. You’re gonna like it. Okay. You like pistachio, you’re the one who wanted it. No, I waned mango, Brittany wants pistachio. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. Mm-hmm. We got it backwards? But that’s not how the naughtiness worked out. I thought you did that on purpose. No. This is actually not bad at all. Oh, man. We did it backwards. This is not bad. That’s very pistachio-y. Mm-hmm. Oh, Brittany it’s so good. Yeah. If you weren’t so naughty, you’d be lovin’ it. Yeah, not bad. Thank you. Let me taste it. You’re missin’ it though. I actually didn’t taste it. You did the thing that you always do, and you switched the whole point of what we’re doing. The person who’s been the nicest gets this one. So we’re not waiting for the naughtiest person, the naughtiest person was Carney. We started that way, and it flipped in your little brain. Well, because I know how naughty Brittany is on the weeknights. But she’s not that naughty, that why she gets the mango! Brittany, you’re so nice. You’re so nice! Ah! You like mangoes? Not as much as pistachios. No, I like pistachios. Yeah. That’s okay. You can try some of that in a minute because you haven’t been naughty at all. Yeah. Weeknight, weekend, never naughty Nancy right here. Okay, can you clean her knife for her? And then you can… So- The shell of these, it’s unpredictable like how soft it’s going to be. You guys know what people do with these? Whew! You did that so aggressively. Mm-hmm. I’m nice but aggressive. What? Look at that. Look at what she did. People, they make videos with these in their cars, and they do what KG did earlier, the hand behind. Really? Oh. You’re dripping. It’s dripping. So you’re not gonna even want that. It’s got like mango filling inside. Mmm. It’s good. I think Davin would’ve loved it. Do you wanna try the pistachio? It is really good. You can. I would love to try the pistachio. Mmm! Ooh-wee! What is it? That is so good. It’s very good. What is the stuff, the soft, fluffy stuff? Do you know? Not off the top of my head. It’s some kind of- Cream fresh. It’s some kind of like- I think it is. I don’t know what you call it. I think it’s cream fresh. But it’s flavored like mango on the inside. What do you think of the ‘stachio? It’s okay. I think the mango might be better. I think the mango might be better. I got some raspberry I got a baby wipe off of my pants. Davin, there might be an extra bite for you maybe. Yeah. ‘Cause Davin wasn’t that naughty either. Come on, Davin. You’re not that naughty. Have a bite of the mango. Yay! The apple was the most surprisingly good. The mango, outside and inside, awesome. He’s gotta take that away to eat it. Is that good or what? This is really good. And he’s got real chunks of mango in the middle. Yeah, mm-hmm. And then you just get in here, and look. See, all of this is just like whipped cream and bits of apple. There’s actual bits of apple there. I think this may be the best one that’s still here. We bit the apple. “Good Mythical Evening” is blasting off October 23rd, at 10:00 PM Eastern, 7:00 PM Pacific. Get your tickets now, at goodmythicalevening.com. Oh, hey! Hey. Welcome to our house. We all live here now. We built the frames and the cockpit itself. Yeah. It’s supposed to be very sort of claustrophobic for our two giant men. And it is, they barely fit in it. It has a functioning ladder that can get them a little bit up, but not all the way out. I guess we’ll see what this cockpit is used for in the actual “GME.” Stay tuned to find out.
