What are the best new snacks of 2026? Welcome to Good Mythical More. We've got a bunch of snacks that are new for this year. We're going to try them. We're going to tell you if we think they're any good. 'cause snacks are always popping. They're always trying something, man. People, snack maker are always trying to keep making new type of snacks because we've lost our attention span and we have no commitment, and so we have to be teased and tricked into buying new things. Mm-hmm. Because apparently regular old goldfish, they're not good enough unless you're a baby. Right. And so we've gotta, we gotta like fake ourselves out. We gotta rearrange the pixels and create another video game for us to side scroll straight to death. Oh wow. That's encouraging like that. Zesty creamy. Would you like me to continue to talk about a existential crisis? Um, no. No, no, no, no. Let's see how ranchy these are, because that is always the, that's always the mistake that people make when they, uh, it says zesty something, zesty. Ranch. Those of you who have forgotten what goldfish look like, there they are. Zesty is a personality type Now. Hm. Sounds like something you read on People magazine. Um, no. My son told me. I think if you're a little zesty, does that mean like spicy or, I think it's like, um, charismatic. It's like, it's like the new version, 2026 Riz. I think. Really? Maybe it's 2025 Riz. I don't know. Not bad at all, but not, there's no cheesiness. It's just ranch. Yeah, I didn't know if it was gonna be cheesy and Ranchy. Just ranchy. These are legit. I'm gonna tell you right now. They are good. Zesty is the new Riz I I think they, something may be getting lost in pieces. I think so too. I think it sounds like you're saying someone's gay. Oh, is that what zesty means? On my mind. But what do I know? Uh oh. He's a little zesty, you know? Oh, okay. Alright. It seems like a conversation started but it didn't finish. Yeah. I mean, and you're finishing it for us. I mean, I don't know. Yeah. I'm just speculating here. Okay. Well, I guess that my son was calling me gay. Okay. Well that's an interesting conversation that we could have. Yeah, but there's also, I, I'll need to, I need to go, I need to circle back to him. Was he talking about you? I don't remember. I just remember thinking that, uh, I'm zesty. Was he like, you're ze Because I, because I don't, I got ribs know if it, if, if it means that. It could mean that, but yeah, just something, I don't know. I dunno. Might, might bring you something you don't expect. It's a little zesty. I'm thinking. I'm little, little spicy. I'm deferring to Stevie on this one. A little spicy. A little zesty. Yeah, a little extra. Little extra. Extra. These are good. Um, I'm gonna say they're the best thing we've had so far. Yeah, it's the gay goldfish, apparently. Now I am particularly excited about these. Okay. Leave those there because the version of these, that's just the pretzel with a peanut butter, which by the way. I haven't had the Reese's brand. Mm-hmm. Me neither. I didn't know that they existed. This is PB and j, so, Ooh. It actually has PB and J. Ooh. Now, typically we have at the creative house, I don't know why this is the case, but there is a big container of these and I, and I hate that that is the case because I'm sorry. When I go over there, I end up eating them and I'm just the only place these things are my nemesis, just the ones with peanut butter. Because on the set of buddy systems season one, yeah, it was one of the first times we had like actual crafty on, you know, it's a salty peanuty snack. I so much of those things, uh, and it's, it's, it's, they're good for you. I mean, kind of something. Okay. So the peanut butter has been mixed into the jelly, so it's more of a goober grape situation. Goober grape doesn't get the love it deserves. I think it gets plenty of love. When's the last time you heard anybody talking about goober grape? I'm saying it does get all the love it deserves. It doesn't deserve that much love. It doesn't deserve that much love. It's peanut butter and jelly mashed together into one thing, but it's in stripes, in the can, in the jar, and it gets ruined as soon as you try to take it out of it. Oh it does? Yeah, they, you're just like, oh, this is what has happened here. And then it is cool at first. I mean, I don't even think they sell anymore. I've only had it on like vacation and I only eat the first thing of it. These are good dude. These are good. I can't really tell that they're Reese's. They do sell it. We could DoorDash it right now. Smuckers, I think we got plenty of snacks. Smuckers, man. Smucker's doesn't, we could get the monkey to go get it. We found the monkey soup. Like, look at the top of those Smuckers. Right? It is beautiful. See that? It is beautiful. Yeah. But then it, it's, don't call it Smucker. Call it goobers. It's goobers. It is really good at first, and then you ruin it. I like these. Yeah. Muckers is, you don't like those? I, I, I don't think the jelly is necessary. I want it to just be peanut butter. Smuckers is a different. Slang word the kids are using these days. You know? He's so Smuckers. He's a Smucker. Is he Sier? Smuckers. Just a little Smucker. Okay. I mean, I, I don't like these. Mucking is the new soaking Gooning. Mucking is the new soaking. No, gooning doesn't have a new thing yet. Gooning is still gooning. Okay. Next year. Mucking something will be the new goon mucking. But right now mucking is the new soaking. Mucking is definitely, but it's not soaking. It's something different. That is disgusting. What? Disgusting. I think it's, I think it's soaking, but in the other direction, that's what mucking is, and I don't know how you do that in the other direction. Yeah, you figure it out. Instead of being on a bed, you're hanging from something, you figure it out. It's, and it's, it's fine to do. Let's go savory for a moment here with some lay's. Bacon grilled cheese. Now this is interesting. Lay's will do a flavor. They are not afraid to do a flavor. I don't like the matte finish on the bag deeply. What in the world is going on there? You like? You like a Ooh, that is You like a shiny bag. I like a shiny bag. What? Why? I love it. This smells like. Dog vomit. I love a matte bag. I didn't like the way it smelled either, but I love a matte bag. I mean, it literally is sour. What would you love about a matte bag? It seems like it's trying to be fancier than it should be. It's a chip. Well, I fell for it. Well eat one. Don't smell it again because it is got that bacon smoke. Stuff tastes bad too. It doesn't taste good. Rejected Do us a flavor winner. Hmm. That's not, that's not a good one. Yeah. It's really hard to overcome that fake bacon taste. Yeah, that's not good. It smucks the cheese is pretty good, but the fake bacon smells. Did I make McKenna feel bad about her talents? I was just saying that I couldn't WI couldn't get through it. I'm too scared. I, I thought it was a compliment. And, uh, I think, I think that was clear. Okay. Good. 'cause No, no, I think you really upset. I can't, I just can't get upset I get through anything that she ever does. I think you really upset her. No, I, five nights at Freddy's, I went to the premiere. That's where we, we, um, reconnected. Me and Lily and her, uh, talked a little bit and then we were like, we got, you gotta come through. So that's what happened. But, um, that was, uh, not as scary as I went to that one Volitionally. But a lot of times that means on purpose. I will go to a, um, I'll find myself at a horror movie because I've been, I've been tricked into it. Like, friends will invite me to go see a movie. Sometimes you're there, sometimes you're not there. Last time this happened to me, but this happened. Yeah. Last time it happened was, uh, primate. I thought I was gonna see a nature documentary with my, with my friend. And, um, don't people know this about you guys With my two friends and their sons? So me and Lando went with, uh, two other dads and their sons. So Lando had his friends, and then the dads were friends. It was very cute, and we were gonna watch a documentary and then all of a sudden this chimpanzee is mounting a horny, uh, 20 something boy in a bed and grab grabbing his. Have you seen it grab? Well, yeah. Well, you might as well. You just spoiled it. Like grab, grabbing his jaw. He, he was like. Scared. You know, when you're scared your jaw gate's open and the chimp just grabbed his bottom jaw and then just like, and ripped it off. Like it just ripped it off. That's what they do. That ripped your face off. And then, you know what happened? The kid was just sitting there looking at him in horror. Well, that's probably what I would do. And, and that's what I was doing too. I was like, why am I here? Why? What, what, what, Lando, what is the service? Does Mando inherited your aversion to this stuff? Um. You know, I think he, I think he's blending in with his, with his cronies. Okay. So in inside he might be dying in a little bit. He didn't, he he didn't, he didn't seem to be, um, scarred in the way that I was. Well, you telling me about was like, I was like, I have TMJ, this is the last thing I want to see. You told me that you saw the new Predator, which I rather enjoyed. And then the, your one comment about it was, I wish the guy had put a mask on. 'cause his face was so gross. Like, yeah. Yeah. Odd thing to see. The predator has a mask. That's what, yeah. I've seen pictures of him. What you see is gross face. You're like, oh, that's so, it's just like, it's gross. It's, it's a little shocking at first, but then you get over it. Right. I didn't, I couldn't get over it. Okay. Again, I have TMJ, it's like, okay, I can't, I can't be having these pencils coming out. Oh, I mean, and then later on, the one of the girls in the front in swimming pool. I'd like to, I'd like to see this movie, by the way. It's a movie where a monkey goes crazy and kills everybody. Right? Well, it's a, it's a chimp. I mean, I know it's a primate. Well, it's a chimp. It's a, it's a primate. Well, it primate would've be also be a monkey, but, but that's right. Uh, chimpanzee, you're right. An ape, not a monkey. Okay. I stand corrected. Is that, do you wanna give it another, okay. Later on in the movie is, well, first of all, these, these, there's these girls that totally get waterlogged in the swimming pool. And then when you, what do you mean by fun? What do that mean? Well, I'm, I'm, I don't wanna give it away. I mean, don't you wanna see it more? Fingers, trigger reasons. You mean like raisin hands or you mean like they die and then their bodies become water? Uhuh, Uhuh, they just, they have to, they, they're in the pool for a long time, so they get, they get real, they get wrinkly probably. This is more, this is more slang. You, you learn the slang getting water logged. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you, so if you soak too much, you'll get water logged lies, but if you muck too much, if you sm you get, you'll get Smucker. At the end, it's like one, one of these waterlogged girls finally gets out of the pool, and then she's like, they're having a face off with the monkey. Jim, Jim, and here. Lo and behold, here he goes, grabbing her jaw. That's his move. That's, and he, yeah, he, I was like, that's his move now. And now I'm, God, I gotta look away. I can't stand this. Why am I here? I don't understand why people are, are, are interested in this. Like, why is this type of thing you wanna watch? I don't, you know. I mean, you don't have to have TMJ, so hold on. So there's no part of you, this is a legitimate question. There's no part of you that when that happens, you're just like the thrill of watching the chimp come out and rip somebody's jaw off and you think to yourself, this isn't really happening. Like, I am having an emotional resp. This is why I like horror movies. I'm having an emotional response to this situation that is. An analog to this actually happening, but it's not happening because I'm in a comfortable seat in an air conditioned space with some popcorn, and unfortunately Fanta. Oh, no, sorry. I mean, and, uh, but I'm, but you know what I'm saying, but it, so there's, he's not real, and that brings me joy because I'm like, I know, but I'm, I have this image in my, I mean, like, here, watch this. You tell me how you're feeling as I'm doing this. I mean, it would be better if your jaw came off. Okay, but I thought that was pretty cool. Milano mango, white chocolate, tropical mango flavor, paired with sweet, creamy white chocolate hidden between delicate cookies. Now Milano or Milano is, my mother says she melanio. Uh, Alyssa Meno is one of the better cookies in terms of form factor. I don't want fruit in my melanio. I want chocolate. Well, you got two. Have you dipped a melanio? That's the greatest thing. Oh, the, the consistency. You dip 'em in milk and then it, like, one side is hard and the other side is just like, it's just like sloughing off. Like, like, like skin and like a third degree burn. And do I need to see that? No. No. Would I pay to see that? Of course not. See, see what I don't like. You're proving my point. What I don't like is the real footage of that stuff. Remember when we watch Faces of Death when we were in Yeah. Um, middle school, high school. That, that's messed up, man. I'm sure the kids can see that stuff anytime they want at this point. But like we had to know a guy right. Who had a dad who was a little bit sick, you know, he had a, and he had a closet who had a closet with a bunch of porn and then some VHSs of like people dying. This is a death. People dying. You had to know that guy. And if you were acquaintances, at least with that guy in 1998, well no, 1992. Yeah, you had a chance to seeing that stuff. And I remember. Definitely wanting to watch it. Once he started talking about it and then once I started watching it, I was like, I'm just not, I'm not, I'm not interested because that is actually happening. Like that's not, I don't like that. Oh yeah. I like it when you're playing like it's happening. There was a narrator. I believe so, but I think you see faces of death. And a chimp ripping somebody's face off is the same thing. I don't see it as the same, but I think on a, on a metaphysical level, like when it goes in here and then goes down into this, like inside of here, it's kind of the same. It's like, you know, I'm really good at suspending my disbelief. Yeah. But the closer that, this is another thing I love, the more you get lost in it, like I don't really believe in like chimps supernatural. Stuff I don't really believe in like demons and stuff like that, but if I'm watching a, a exorcism movie, I won't, I, it'd be tough to go to sleep that night, you know what I'm saying? Like, I let it get in there and mess me up a little bit, and that's part of the pleasure. I let it mess, I let it get in there and mess me up a little bit. People, I, I, I, so many people know that so many people are that way. It's just like one of those things that like, you could enjoy it and if you just unlocked it, I think it would bring you that much more joy in your life. I don't think, what about like a spooky, like a haunted mansion ride at Disneyland? Like a spooky, like that's PG man. Yeah, I, I'm trying to find one. Do you like it though? 'cause I, I'm like that, I'm fine with that. Yeah. I'm fine with pg. But Do you like it? I mean, if my, if a parent's there guiding me, I'm okay with it. Maybe we need to get you do I like, like scary rap, scary hip hop. Oh yeah. Billy Woods and somebody got a Halloween album. Yeah. Billy Woods Gollywog. So are you'd liking that? Um. It's, it's pretty scary. Are you liking it? No, I, I like a couple of 'em, but I'm not gonna sit there in the dark and listen to it. Okay. Put it to you that way. Didn't Fresh Prince have a Freddie Krueger song? Nightmare on my Street? Yes. Yeah. And then they had like a, I love that. A lawsuit. 'cause they didn't clear the sample or something, which was a big missed opportunity for The Nightmare on Elm Street Crowd. He got slapped with a lawsuit. Ah. Oh yes he did. That's a lyric. Did he slap people? Is that what Freddy did? These are zero sugar, no Will Smith, no Will Smith slapped Chris? Oh yeah. Just open that one. These are zero sugar. I know what you're gonna ask. That's scary. So is it sorbitol and what is it? The, um, alcohol, sugar, alcohol. It's not good. It's not good. I don't, I can't really tell Leavening what, let me see what it tastes like. Sucralose. Sucralose, aspartame free. I do not like it. Do you like it? It feels like they left something out besides sugar. Am I missing something? The cookie part tastes the same almost. Me with real cocoa, but the cream part is like, like nothing's there. Okay. Uh, yeah, it's very, it's like a hollow experience. It's kind of like, um, I don't know. It's like a relationship with the AI bot or something. It's, this is, don't love it. We're putting it over here. This is that fancy chocolate brand. Mm. Okay. And they have a Panda Express. Collab. Again, c certain things don't need to exist, like Honey Walnut Primate, the movie and this fortune cookie. Let me, well, that's smart. This is absolutely serendipitous. Why? Because just this past weekend, um, my wife and I were in a local mall. Just say Jessie. Um, well, what if, what if that changes? You know, I want, I want this to be, oh, you want evergreen? Youre, oh God, Jessie, my wife and I, oh, they put, they put this in here. My wife. You can say my wife at the time. You deserve a little joy. Start with chocolate. This is exactly what I wanna talk about. Jessie and I were at a mall, and by the way, I really believe in malls and I don't want them to die. Okay? I really believe in them. And I, and I think the fact that they're dying makes me feel like I'm dying a little bit. But we were in a mall, we were hungry, and I was, and it was the end of the day and I said, you wanna just, instead of like going home and like trying to figure out what we're gonna do for dinner or getting home and then like ordering food and having a pay delivery. Let's just do food court. Food court. Let's food court it up at the mall. I'll meet you back at the table, baby, like we haven't in a while. And, and then as we're passing in this particular mall on the way to the food court, they have a Panda Express that is built, has its own spot in the mall. Okay. Like a Pan Express, you can walk into that seats. 82 people. 'cause I saw that not to exceed. 82. 82. That's a lot of people at a mall Pan Express. Yeah, that's true. I told her we could have a birthday party here. Okay. But I. We sat down and Jessie said, I love Panda Express. And I was like, I didn't know that about you. And I mean, I know almost everything about you, but that you love Panda Express. She says, yeah, it's like fast food. It tastes good. And it's like you can actually get a healthy thing because I get like the grilled chicken and then like I, and then like I don't get the noodles or whatever. I'm like, interesting. Okay, so we sit down, we have a meal and I'm like. Uh, pan Express is good enough for what I need it to be right now, but I'm just surprised that my wife right, is feeling this way about it. Jessie. Uh, and then Jessie, that's my wife. And then, uh, fortune cookies, they're there. I opened them up and it says something like, you are a gracious person, or something like that. Okay. And I found myself thinking, I found myself getting angry at. The opportunity that has been lost with fortune cookies at a major chain like Panda Express. I, I was like, what would it be? Like, it's not a prognostication if this was a very specific prognostication, right? What if it was like, tonight you will choke on a meatball and die? Or maybe it's something like tonight you will, maybe it's something good and it could be funny. It could be fun. Why does it, they're afraid of a lawsuit. That's why they don't do this. That's why they don't do specific things. Yeah. We need to completely overhaul the fortune cookie thing. I mean, we've lost fortune. Cookies have become hollow safe, safe, boring. Yep. They need to be specific. They need to have the ability to change your life or make you make a weird decision. Bring back a shocking fortune cookie. Yeah. I mean, it's just such a, it's such a missed opportunity. So you're saying the fortune cookies in the seventies said things like, tonight you're going to choke on a meatball. They, well, it was more stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it was specific stuff, you know, it was, it was about the future. It was about your fortune. It wasn't about your current traits. I do remember there being some that were like not positive, and then now they're all positive. Yeah. We we're afraid for there to be some bad news. They've taken the teeth out of fortune cookies, like an old chihuahua. That happens to the chihuahuas. Their teeth start falling out. White chocolate walnuts, honey honeycomb pieces. So not any meat. I can't even get into this bar. That's good. I mean, I can't get into it. I've taken off the gold and now there's just clear plastic. It's like, what is this? Some kind of prank. This thing has like big chunks of walnut in it. The other thing I noticed about the malls, Hmm. Is that they've gotten rid of the benches. My wife Jessie, she was there and she's, you know, I were there for her in a lot of ways and she's going to these stores and I'm like, I'm gonna find a place to sit. And I started walking through the mall and I would walk past 7, 8, 9 stores, no benches. I was like, where are my benches at? And there, there aren't any in the mall. And then I look up on the internet while standing. I'm like, why are there no benches at the mall? And they were like, two reasons. First reason, they got rid of a lot of benches during COVID, and they have not put them back. Huh? Second reason is there is a philosophy amongst mall people that is, if you're stopping, you're not shopping. And that made me angry. I was like, I'm sitting here, my feet hurt. I'm finding I go into a gap. Yes. 'cause my wife Jessie was in the gap and I'm finding, I'm sitting, I'm just sit on some shirts. What got it? Do what you gotta do? I'm like, yeah, they ain't got a bench. I'm sitting on some gap shirts. Uh, taste that 'cause it's good. It's got a walnut in it. It's got honeycomb pieces. Color me bad because this right here is good. This is really good. Hmm. White chocolate walnuts, honey honeycomb pieces. We got one more to try. We've uh, we've worn out our welcome. So let's get outta here. Oh, but this one is what? Fortune cookie. That's good. But this isn't good. Hmm. I don't need to know what I deserve. Hmm. I need to know how I'm gonna die. Hmm. Choke on a meatball, fortune cookie people. Follow us @Mythical for more Mythical throughout your day.
