GMMore 2931: Ranking The Weirdest New Chip Flavors

What’s the weirdest new chip flavor? Welcome to “Good Mythical More.” Hello, Jordan Myrick. Hello, Link Neal, and Rhett McLaughlin? You got it! Realized I never said either one of your names out, your last names out loud before. Well, a lot of people say McLaughlin and I don’t correct them, but I’m glad you did. McLaughlin? McLaughlin. Wow! Look at us. McLaughlin. I need to separate those patterns. Yeah. Come on. I mean, we sell this. We gotta sell that. I’ve got a weird pattern here if I try to make it my entire knee. You could make one of these big jumpsuits that has my face all over it. Well, you got some cranes? Yeah. All kinds of animals. A hand. Yes. A jaguar. A tiger? A jaguar? A little leaf that looks like a heart. Yeah. What do we think? Okay. I really like it. Thank you. There’s a woman bending over. She’s gardening, I think. This is a new jumpsuit, so I haven’t seen that yet. It is on my back. There’s a woman bending over? Yeah. No there’s not. You know how, have you ever seen people who put like a plywood visage of someone bending over, like they’re gardening? Yep. You ever seen that? That’s my favorite yard art. Yard art of someone bending over in their yard. Oh, I don’t think I’ve ever seen. Has everyone seen this? Sometimes it’s a woman. Y’all know about that, right? None of y’all know about this? No, okay. It’s just like the butt and the legs and it’s like, oh, that’s a woman garden. Is it sexy? It can be. Okay. All right. There’s bloomers. You see bloomers. I’ve never seen this. I think it’s a North Carolina 90s thing. Okay. Yeah, because I’ve never seen it in all my travels. I recalled like weird toddler babies that would stand in the corner that didn’t have a face, and it was supposed to look like there was just a cute toddler in the corner. You don’t remember those? No toddlers bending over. Corner babies? You guys don’t remember those? No. I mean, older women loved them. It didn’t make any sense, ’cause when you turn the toddler around, it was terrifying. Oh God. Yeah, no face? Like the toddler had its back to you, like he was in time out? Oh, like it was like playing hide and seek or something. Oh. I’m gonna work on getting a photo of this, I don’t like that one bit. Because this was a thing. Let’s taste chips. Mhm. So we’ve got a lot of weird flavors that are pushing for football season. -They are. They’re very excited for games. Various games, different teams. Yeah. Herr’s Gameday. And we love Herr’s, generally speaking. Herr’s is really good. They have a lot of flavor. And these are loaded queso. Let’s open these up. Loaded queso. What’s the chip of choice for everyone here? I want a brand. I want a style of chip and I want a flavor. Well, you know what? I would’ve said cheddar sour cream Ruffles, but. I am saying that. Okay. I recently had, and we’ve had ’em on the show, but I had ’em again, those voodoo style from Zapp’s or whatever. Those would go too hard for me. And I was like, this might be my favorite chip. Yeah. Zapp’s voodoo are definitely up there for me as number one. And I would say a close number two is a kettle cooked barbecue. Ooh. Okay. I love it on a sandwich. I love it dipped into a dip. And I’ve absolutely never seen that before. Yep. Bloomer. See that? And that can be a little bit sexy. She bent over. I mean, that’s her full butt. A woman bent over in her front yard. And then, oh, the hiding children! I’ve seen these. I’m telling you! I’ve never seen it in a garden. I’ve seen it in like a classroom. Yeah, I don’t like this. I don’t like that at all. And they’re all blonde, which is even scarier. These chips pack a punch. They have a chili. There’s a chili powder taste. Yeah, and it’s giving like cumin. It has that kind of like, smokiness. It has a real cheese funk though, in the smell. I think it could have more in the cheese taste. Needs more cheese taste, 100% right about that. Yeah, right? Don’t they smell cheesy? But I do think they’re good. They’re like, Herr’s is like a nice quality chip. Let’s go with another Herr’s, shall we? Yeah. We love these. Smoked brisket? Oh my. You can only eat them when you’re watching football, I guess. Yeah. Don’t try it. No other sports. Don’t try it on Wednesday. No other sports. Oh, you just waft steak, Yeah. Chips to us. Oh, oh, okay. You’re making a mess, son. These are ugly. They are extremely ugly. Yeah. I don’t really care about the aesthetics of a potato chip though, if I’m being honest. I hate them. I don’t hate it. They’re so fun! It tastes like a chip that was left next to a steak. What’s the liquid smoke situation? It’s not that. The liquid smoke is actually working. Oh, great. It’s so salty. Yeah, and they’re a little sweet. I think it’s like a really nice, balanced chip. And I do think they genuinely taste meaty. They do! Like, I’m really impressed that they pulled it off. Yeah. I don’t need non-meat things to taste meaty. Sure. You’re very particular. It has blue one lake in it. I’m discerning. Yes. It has what? Yellow six lake, red 40 lake, blue one lake. That’s three of my favorite lakes. I wish they would just put chemicals. When you say lake, I don’t know what you’re meaning. Spell that. I don’t think he knows either. L-A-K-E-E. E-E? L-A-K-E. It says, red 40 lake. Yeah it says lake. Like they’re getting dyes outta lakes now? Huh. Red 40 is legal. When prepared as a lake pigment, it is disclosed as red 40 lake but red 40. But yeah, but what’s a lake pigment? Can we dye lakes with this? Hmm. Lake pigment. Pigment may by precipitating a dye with an inert binder or mordant. Usually a metallic salt. Mordant. I feel like the whole segment could just be us being like, “What’s a metallic salt?” And we Google that. Yeah, let’s keep going. You listen to us read that out loud. I’ll tell you right now, if I had another kid, I might name ’em mordant. Oh, okay. It’s cute. Call ’em Morty? Yeah. Mordant. Morty. Come on. All right, let’s get to, ooh what are these, cheesy buffalo dip? Let’s hit ’em. I have not found one that I’ve loved yet. Well, we’ve only had two. That’s true. Where’s the other one? You’re not ranking them? You’re dismissing them. I’m dismissing things that don’t really… Jordan and I like the the cooked brisket. Oh, I like the shape of these. Mm, once again, I’m getting cheesy. I don’t know if I’m getting buffalo. Oh, I’m getting buffalo. Whoa! It’s the smell. Buttery! Mm! These are very buttery. Yum! But that’s what you want from a buffalo wing. Yeah, yeah. Right? If you think you would like these, you would. Yeah. Wow. You get a little bit of like a funk from a blue cheese almost ,on the finish. And a little spice. Yes. Little spice. They’re creamy. They’re tangy and very buttery. I really do think that’s what separates it from being like, a wing or a buffalo chicken dip type thing versus just like a hot sauce thing is the butter. They’re the best so far. These are impressive. Put ’em at number one. That’s a good chip for a game day or any day. How fun. What an interesting system you’ve made. Yeah. Officially, this is an NFL collab. Wow. Now what are these? Kroger Champion Chip. Oh, that’s cute. Collection. This is a good comparison. So these are not the ones that are endorsed officially by the NFL. That’s true. Doesn’t look like it. Oh, only legs. I don’t think they need to be. I don’t think I have much- I forgot you were doing that and that scared me. Did you smell it? No, I was so filled with fear. It’s not doing much for me. Nope. Nothing there. Okay. You got a lot of dust all over your face. Really? No. Oh. I’m like, can you imagine? I think these taste good. I think they’re giving more like, if you told me, these were Louisiana hot sauce flavored chips, I would be like, delish. It’s very hot sauce. But it doesn’t have the other stuff that these have. Yeah. It doesn’t have that sweet, sweet butter. I do like them though. No, I think they’re very tasty. I like ’em better than this. It’s not this. Yeah. They’re more unique. But I do think these are really good. I almost wanna like eat these with like gumbo, which is a crazy thing to say, but. Yeah. You said it. You can’t take it back now. God. Well, we also do have a hot sauce chip next that I think we can do side by side. Yes. And this is an official NFL chip. It’s so interesting for them to do buffalo chicken dip and then also do Frank’s hot sauce. One more time. Nothing. I’m getting nothing. Very little. Right? I’m excited about these. Okay. You a Frank’s fan? Yes. A Frank-natic? But the best hot sauce I believe is Crystal. Oh, I love Crystal. You have the roasted garlic one? Oh, I haven’t. No, I just have the regular hot. Oh, mm. Mm! Roasted garlic? Yeah, the roasted garlic one you’d really like. I’ll bring you some. I have an extra one at home. Oh man. This is really, really good. Wow. Apparently being paired with the NFL does do something for the chip. Yes, it does. Oh my god! I’m shocked. It’s got a nice, sustained heat to it. Wow! And like, I mean, those would really kick you right in the rear if you had a bunch of ’em. The team that did this at Lay’s, you guys are killing it right now. Which one’s better though? You guys are going for a real… I think the hot sauce might be better. Oh, okay. What’s the second most points you can get at a time? The kettle. Safety. The kettle nature of this is actually really good. I hear that and I agree with you. Are you okay with this? These are second, these are still first? The kettle nature of those chips. I like the Frank’s better, but I understand why that’s number one. As long as you understand it. As long as you understand it, Link. Yeah. Do y’all have football teams? Uh-uh. Not really, but I am participating in the Mythical Fantasy Football league and I have not won a game yet. Sure. But the way that you’ve done it, you kind of invited that. Yes. What’d you do? I’ve never played fantasy football before, but I chose my initial team based on who would be predicted to perform the worst, based on astrological predictions. But now that I’ve gotten into the season, I don’t think the fact that I’m losing is actually a sign of astrology not working. It’s the fact that I also didn’t pick any good players. Sure. Yeah. I just picked whoever was the worst, astrological player on that weekend. And then I realized like, oh, this guy, like, is the 500th rated running back in the NFL or something like that. I was like, oh, he didn’t even play today. Of course he didn’t win. Yeah. So I think there’s maybe a different way to do it to actually make that test, but. Why did you do it like that? Because I want to prove or disprove astrology. Okay. That is what I was interested in. Through fantasy football. That’s the way. It seems like maybe you did. Do you know the name of my team? What is it? Ass-trological. Got it. There’s no football to it. No, no, no. Got it, okay, all right. I’m trying to make a football link. Ass is A-S-S, altogether. A-S-S. Ass? Well, they like to do a little pat, or is that baseball? I think that’s all of ’em. I think all these guys are spanking each other, every chance they get. Oh okay. Yeah, they do. Yeah. They love to do it. So that’s the tie in. That can be the tie in, then. That’s a really good point. Yeah. Thank you. But no, it has not made me watch any football. Okay. It makes me log into this site to see if I have won. That’s all it does. All right. All right. Sounds a little like being addicted to gambling. Yes. No money has exchanged any hands. Okay. All right, where are we going next? Mmm. How about back to Kroger? Mozzarella sticks. I love that. So it’s fried cheese flavor. Yeah. And maybe marinara? Right? That’s what I would anticipate. I gotta say something. Give us a poof. There’s not a lot of potato strong taste on mozzarella sticks. And it does not show any tomato sauce. What are you dipping a mozzarella stick in, ranch? Marinara? Marinara. Okay. Yeah, yeah. For sure. Ranch is a good idea. Yeah. Mix the two together. Ranch-inera? Never done that. You’d love it. Hmm. They go easy. They taste like pizza blasted goldfish. They do taste like pizza blasted. Which is good. But I don’t know if I’m thinking mozzarella stick when I try that. There’s tomato powder in them. That’s why. I feel like this is a miss. Yeah. I think it’s a miss on the theming, but I certainly don’t think they taste bad. They don’t taste bad. No. Like if I had these, I’d be like, oh, I’ll keep eating ’em. Yeah. You know what would be good? If you made mozzarella sticks, but you made the breading out of this. Ooh. Well, you know what? Josh. What are you doing this week? That’s a good idea. Okay. And now, We got two more. Wavy loaded nachos. We’re back to an official NFL chip. Thank god. So across this NFL lineup, we’ve got kettle, we’ve got regular, and we’ve got wavy. They’ve done it all. We’re predicting that these will be in the top three. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh, they got some jalapeno flavor in there. And you smell the sour cream. And I almost feel like I smell black olive. But that might just be some kind of like, I hope not. You know. Mm! Oh my god. These look like they’re gonna be good. Crazy. They almost taste a little like lettuce in a good way. What? Yes! I’m getting more taco than nacho, but I think they’re unbelievable. How do they do this? You’re exactly right. How are the people at Lay’s doing this? This is why you do what you do. Thank you. It is a lettuce flavored chip. The food scientists are back. It’s like sour cream, lettuce, cumin. Yeah, it’s a taco. And it’s good. It’s a taco with a little bit too much lettuce on it chip. You don’t like it. Mm-mm. Oh, you don’t like it? We love it. We love it. Have you heard how you’ve been describing it? Lettuce, lettuce, lettuce. Yeah, but it’s like a marvel. Do you know what I mean? It is a marvel. If you said, “I’m gonna feed you a lettuce flavored potato chip,” I would say, “I’m gonna push you onto the ground.” I’d be like, “Don’t get near me.” Right. Right. This is delicious for what it is. But it is what you said, though. Mhm. Well. Taco meat and lettuce. And sour cream. Yeah. You got a little sour cream. Sour cream is good. It’s impressive. It’s not my favorite of the Lay’s. No. It’s impressive. Let’s wrap it up with Kroger, pigs in a blanket. Now Kroger is promising real big stuff here. Let’s see. They all taste good. But we’re not being wowed by the engineering. We’ve got some wiener flavor in there. You can definitely smell that. Ooh, yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. So we got hot dog water. And what are we dipping a pig in a blanket in? Mustard. Mustard, yes. Regular? Yellow? Yeah, unless I’m feeling fancy, I’ll go brown. Okay. Spicy brown. I think any kind of mustard. I think some people do a honey mustard, you know? That’s nice. I feel like there could be some honey mustard in this. Yeah. It’s not bad. It tastes like, hot dog, honey mustard, and pastry, which is exactly what it is. Yeah. Mm! This is the best thing that Kroger has done today. So they don’t show honey mustard on this thing. But that’s like these. They don’t show marinara sauce, but they still taste like tomato and have tomato powder in them. Definitely the best Kroger. Yes. And they don’t show a head of lettuce on this. You know it’s a meat. True. I think sometimes, They’ve done a really good job. They don’t want you to think about too much other stuff. You know, if they said pigs in a blanket plus honey mustard, it’s just like a little cumbersome for the label, for the mind. Right. You know? But I do think this tastes like pig in a blanket. I think if there was a picture of honey mustard on there, I’d be even more likely to buy it though. With the blanket. Yeah, just like a little dip, a little ramming thing. Tiny little honey mustard. I understand that. And I relate to that. But I also think that people who don’t like mustard would still like these. Look at what we’ve done today, y’all. So that was just you. Yeah. Yeah. You could say we if you want to. Literally nobody else participated in that. I mean, this right here. I feel like the vibe was kinda like, whoa, stop. It’s a party. Very much so. Party bowl. What’s the takeaway? We’re saying buy? Yeah, go ahead. Lay’s has done it. They have really knocked it outta the park. All three of these are good. I think that these are the best, the kettle cooked cheesy buffalo. I think that the hot sauce are a very close second. Yeah. I think if you dipped these cheesy buffalo chips into buffalo chicken dip, you would have to go to the hospital because your brain would’ve exploded. Oh yeah. I think it would be the best thing you’ve ever experienced. Like a Trader Joe’s buffalo chicken dip? Yeah. I think your body would do things that I can’t say on this show. I can’t eat another one.
