We are ranking every Tony's Chocolonely. Welcome to Good Mythical More. Wow. I've seen these. Colorful. I've seen these, I've definitely seen these at World Market. Right. And I've never gotten them. I don't, I've been maybe intimidated by the thickness. Yeah. They're so big. And, uh, I bring in the first one. I'm, I'm gonna open this one. Well, we're learning a lot about, I didn't know anything about this company, but the company seems pretty cool. They have basically a mission to end exploitation and inequality in the chocolate industry. Oh yeah. And so, you know, they tell you all about that on the inside of the bar, and then the bar itself, this is cool. If you've ever opened one of these, we'll show you here in a second. The pieces are not uniform like they are in most chocolate bars. So there's actually inequality built into the pieces itself. Ooh, that is cool. Which is an opportunity for, you know, it's sort of symbolic of the fact that some people have a little bit more, some people have a little bit less, especially in the cocoa industry. Right, right. And so, um, and also this. Piece right here is actually symbolic of, I think like the Ivory Coast, the West African coastline where there's like, um, cocoa farms, I guess. Oh yeah. So the West African, the Gulf of Guinea. So anyway, cool company right here. There's some cool things. Let's see how well they make chocolate. Not a sponsor, by the way. Not a sponsor. That's right. We're just talking about 'em and eating their chocolate. Not a sponsor by the way. And this first one is what? One milk. This is just milk. 'cause he wants some milk. We have to, um, pace ourselves. Neil. Mm-hmm Hmm. Tastes like a bunny rabbit, you know, a chocolate bunny rabbit. I, as much as I know the McLaughlin's will have some dark chocolate in their house. Yeah. I don't, we don't ever have milk chocolate in parts. I have never eaten any chocolate that tasted good at the McLaughlin's house. Because you don't like dark chocolate. Don't be offended. Which means you don't really like chocolate. You like milk. It's okay. You like milk. I, I'm, I don't even wanna know if it's okay. You're a milk boy. This is so good. Yeah, I mean I would want that dipped in peanut butter and that would be incredible. So did you, alright, so this one right here, we're gonna wrap back up 'cause we're gonna rank these things. Let's bring in the next, and this one is mean, just that one. We're not gonna open all of them because we, we've got some open now. This is caramel sea salt. But I think that it's actually caramel sea salt chase, I'm gonna throw this at you. Fair enough. Please do. I really like this flavor. I'm a big to, Tony's Chocolonely fan. Oh, well you, you didn't tell us here. Well, everyone's been talking about it back here. I think. I just didn't wanna step on other people's toes. Okay. So you, you're, you are a, uh, partaker. Mm, yes. Although, uh, for like the first year that I got it, it was, it was Tony's Chocoloney to me, and then I realized there was an L, another L in there. It just rolls off the tongue better. Tony's Chocoloney. That's what I thought. No. Oh, I. That has a, it's a crunch. That has a crunchy and also kind of a toffee sort of taste to it, but not too toffee. 'cause I don't really like toffee. I like it when milk chocolate has something else added to it. Dark chocolate. I like pure, maybe some salt. I agree. I, um, we might need to govert. Maybe not. Yeah. Yeah. We're liking that bit of, um, um, and like now, if you, the problem with me is I'll open up a chocolate bar and I've always just assumed a bar is just for me. You open up a bar and you just eat the bar, right? No, no, no, no. It, it implies sharing with the way that it's, well, I'm having to learn to share perforated. Um, because the way that my mom treated me and my brother was she would just get us two things. I think she was just like, they're gonna just, I, I could teach them how to share or I could just get them two things and not have to worry about the fights. And so it wasn't like, yeah, she doesn't have to parent. It's okay. It's just like two, two chocolate bunnies, two chocolate bars, you know, unless something came in pears, we each got our own thing. And then I just thought, you get a chocolate bar and you just eat it. And so I have to resist just eating this whole thing. This is a good exercise for me. Uh, what flavor do we have here? This is the green one. Chocolate hazelnut milk. Chocolate hazelnut. Okay. So we're in a, um, I can see that there's Nutella region, but it's the actual nuts in there. I'm trying to make sure I bite a nut. Hmm. I am usually not a huge fan of the hazelnut, but I like, it's a little exciting. It's okay. It's not as good as the, uh, as the, I'm not gonna be offended if you don't think this is as good as milk chocolate, but I don't think it is. Okay. I hazelnut. I I really don't, don't, don't need hazelnut in my life. I'm not loving that. It's not bringing anything to it. Let's bring in a little, uh, like an almond mic. Nuttiness. Well, yeah, not enough. Not enough of a, of a decent thing. I appreciate the consistency of the packaging. Almost jumped on a hazelnut. Well that, alright, now we gotta move. It almost killed you. So we gotta move it further down here. We don't like this. I mean, there's three different greens because once you get this many different things, you gotta start, you gotta start getting close to each other again. Here you go. Rep dark chocolate. 70%. That's, I think that's the magic number. I'm not one of these crazy folks that goes to 80. I mean, I'll do it for fun sometimes. Hmm. Just makes me think I'm at your house searching for something that like, hold on. But will be a nice little at this point in the process. Ugh. At first it's always a little bit, oh, what am I tasting? I don't hate it, but the taste that it leaves in your mouth, the way it transforms, and then it's like, that's chocolate. That's not milk. That's chocolate. How can that, I mean, that is just, it's wonderful. Oh, you know, it's like, it's a bit much. A little bit bitter, A little bit confusing. Yeah. Then it starts transforming. It starts melting, starts coating your tongue, and then you're like, that's chocolate, and only chocolate and not enough of something else. Mm-hmm. Like milk. I think it's perfect, but I feel like we're gonna have to have a separate scale at this point. So for me, this is the best one. Just hover yours above it the whole time. So my scale is different. My scale is different. Here, gimme this. There's that and I'm saying that this is the best one on my proprietary scale. Is there gonna be peanut butter and something? Because that's, at least we'll agree on that. Yeah. Are they gonna have a hollow thing that has like stuff pumped into it? 'cause that's when it starts getting real interesting. What's this? Purple Milk chocolate pretzel toffee. I'm into that. So it's like the orange, but they've added a pretzel to it. Hm. So we know we're gonna have a little crunch. I'm tell right now there's something in there. There's a pretzel pieces now that's gonna get salty. You were telling me, uh, you were saying that you might have a little story to tell. Something happened to me that never happened to me. I know it happened to you on the way to Dollywood. Mm-hmm. Now don't spoil that. Well, you just did. For those who don't know, for Lincoln's birthday, we went down to San Diego and we were. We drove. It's always a risk when you drive down to San Diego, it could be two hours, it could be 18 hours. Yeah. Right. Depending on, it's pretty good. I really like this. I like this too. Is there a dark chocolates to it? 'cause it's actually dark milk, pretzel toffee. It's 42%, so it's kind of right down the middle. Oh, 42%. What do you think? Yeah, you can, you can tell it's darker. I'm okay with that. Yeah. That's why I, that would, the chocolate is better. Uh um, so we're moving that here. Where higher than the milk chocolate. Higher than the milk chocolate, which is just too boring, but not all the way too salty. Caramel maybe. So you think this might be your favorite so far? I think it is. And purple's my favorite color right now. You know, when you go on a long road trip and you're driving there and driving back in the same day, you had to leave early and sometimes you leave too early to, uh, to have your morning lower GI routine. Oh, yes. So I was all off and all over the place. Yeah. And, um, this is a problem, but I did, I, I mean, I drank my coffee and, um, you tried, I tried to get everything like working, but it was stuck. But it didn't work. And, um, bless you. Thank you. And we get there. Uh, and I wasn't hungry, so when everybody was eating like a brunch on the, on the beach, I just, I, I drank a big margarita and I never do that. At what time? I mean, it was like 10 30. What? But it was sunny. People ate brunch and you just said, I'm gonna just have a big margarita. Well, they, they, their menu had like pictures of margaritas. But why didn't you have food? I wasn't hungry. Why weren't you hungry? It was brunch. Well, because of what I told you, I just, I mean, like, I was still full. That's not how it works. Well, that's kind of what I thought. The stomach and the large intestine are way far away from each other. We're walking around, we're doing stuff, and I'm like all of a, and you know, I did feel a few gurgles. Oh no. And um, then, well this is a white one. Yeah. I don't wanna tell this story. I don't wanna tell this story. Take it back. We're sitting here eating chocolate. Take it back. Tell this story. Hit the peak while we're eating white chocolate and we'll think differently about it by the time we get to dinner. Lincoln's like, I picked this barbecue joint, uh. I wish I knew the name of it. Search, uh, best Barbecue in, uh, San Diego, and that'll be this place that we went to. It was really good. We get there and um, after that we're leaving to drive back home. Hopefully it's only two and a half hours to get back home. And between ordering and getting to the table, it was just a good, I. The gurgling turned into pressure. Oh God. But it was, I've never had an issue with this, and I'm really good at knowing when to time, uh, a, a fart. Those days are over. And, um, so. When everybody went from ordering to the table to wait for all the barbecue to show up, I walked. I was like, you know what, I'm gonna walk around the long way. Yeah. Walk it out. You know, so I, I went around the long way and, um, yeah, just, you know, just, uh, just tried to make a little room for some barbecue. Just like burnt. Yeah. Just a little burnt. Burnt. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I come back in, I, I successfully burnt, burnt uhhuh and, uh, as far as I knew and. Sat down at the table and I ate my, I ate all that barbecue and boy, it was good. What's the name of this place? I don't know. You said you don't know the place that it was. You know, when I say search, so and so, you said Best I expect somebody to do it. Oh, but you said I did. I searched best barbecue in San Diego, but a bunch of different places. Like there's, excuse me, there's the number one place, bow-legged Barbecue. Grand Old Barbecue. Yes. Oh, you don't, you. You don't even know. What's the third one? You don't even know when they say it. I don't know how to search and see what you went to have third have a track in my mind. What's the, what's the third? Remember when you said you were gonna stop telling the story and then telling the story? What's the third one? What's the third one? Uh, grand old barbecue. EA saddle. No, it's the second one. Maybe you weren't even the same bow-legged barbecue. No, that's not it. That was the second one. What's the first one? Dale's hideout? Mm-hmm. Smoking Jay's barbecue and tap house. Are you talking about San Diego, California? That's, yes, exactly. Uh, my uncle lives in San Diego, does a pretty good barbecue. His name's Ken. Oh, I, I got an idea. Is that Phil's? That was the first thing I said. No, it's none of that. I can't, maybe, I just can't remember. Oh, I know how we can search though, because I, I got up and I was like, man, you know what, before I hit the road, I got to. I got, I'm gonna go to, I, I gotta see if I can go to the bathroom. And I go past the bathroom and I'm like, I don't know if I should. I don't know if I should just wait until I get home and I look in the bathroom. That's a long drive man. And the bathroom has a bidet in it. Heck yes I do. I was like, this is perfect. And I didn't even know I had sharded myself. Oh God. So it happened around and with that, let's try some more chocolate. You know, with the burnt, burnt it happened pretty, that's when it happened, and I didn't even know it. Well, it wasn't a lot. It was, it was just enough. It was enough to be a little juicy. Come on. Why did I ask, why did I prompt this story? You prompted it. And, uh, so search best barbecue in San Diego with a bidet. Yeah. I am searching for best barbecue in San Diego with bt. Thank you. Hmm? Just white chocolate. White Chocolate is not chocolate. I'm sorry. I just feel like this is NA, it really tastes like nothing. I mean, I'm not, I don't dislike white chocolate. Don't like it. I just don't think it lands anywhere in a chocolate ranking. It's a completely different decision. It seems like wax. Yeah. You said you were having a margarita. I'm from San Diego. Were you in Old Town? No, were on the beach. You're on the beach. La Jolla. Yeah. No, no. Down there, past SeaWorld. We didn't go to SeaWorld. Not in Coronado either. Ocean Beach too far. Ocean Beach. Okay. But that's not where the barbecue place was. Okay, nevermind. Yeah. Ocean Beach, but not where the barbecue place was, which is the question you asked me. We had to drive somewhere else. We got a lot of these to go through. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go. 51% dark almond sea salt. Now this is a good percentage for a boy that likes, uh, for, you know, this is a good compromise. And look, they've got it all ground up in there. This isn't big almonds. This is. Shredded almond, shredded almond pieces. I'm, you know what? I wanna apologize for snapping at y'all. Y'all looked it up and you just didn't find it. That's pretty nice link. Hmm. That salt's good. It helps with the darkness. I, I'm willing to put this above, um, I'm willing to put this somewhere over there. I mean, I might put this above just a regular Yeah, regular dark. Yeah. I, on my scale. I agree. We're putting this at number one. I need to apply, I need a, uh, stance. There you go. Now we're going for the yellow one. Uh, I'm not gonna open that was it? CO's West Texas? Nope. Maybe it's, it is outdoor seating. It's all outdoor seating. Yeah. That narrows it down. Do they offer, deliver or takeout San Diego with outdoor seating? Outdoor seating, bidet, barbecue, and straight up like regular barbecue, Texas Because I am seeing Korean barbecue spots in San Diego with bts, Texas style barbecue, Texas style. That kind of makes you sharp. Kind of course you ard it before you ate it. Not enough. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. So this is not just so we then, you know, when you do figure out where he ate, it's not their fault. It wasn't, I'm a, it wasn't enough to take my underwear off and throw 'em in the trash can. It was just a little bit, it was just an entree indus the world of sharding. Well, I didn't mean to use the word entree in shock in sentence together. I didn't wanna have this conversation. But now that we're in it, just so you know. Yeah. If it's a lot that's crapping your pants so you're like, it was a little, it was just a little shark. No, a shark is a little, it's like all sharks are little in the cheeks, but there are bigger than other sharks. But all sharks are little. 'cause if a big, if a shark becomes big, it becomes poop. Oh, okay. Okay, so a shirt in the cheek, there's that song about baby shirts. It's a poop in the, and then it gets up and all of a sudden it's, it's poop. Yeah. Yeah. Right. That's how it ends. Okay, well this is decent, which is that Chocolate honey almond noot. That was, that was, I love all those words, but try that. Didn't I just eat that? Try it again. I didn't, it was very good. Yeah, it's very good. It's going up here. I mean, they're, they're all good. I'll say back here, we have no idea what's going on with chocolate because we're all just trying to figure out what barbecue has a bide. Yeah. I wanna apologize to, I really wanna promote 'em because a barbecue's so good. I, it doesn't make you shot Tony. They have a bidet there. This is how you know they're definitely not a sponsor that we decided to tell a short story while we ate the chocolate, chocolate hazelnut. But we're having a great time. Chocolate hazelnut cookie milk. Chocolate cookie milk. Cookie chocolate hazelnut cookie. So then, yeah, there's more. I use the bidet. Oh, how is that? And I decide I can keep my underwear on. And I'm also not going to tell my family because even though Lincoln was going back to school, Lily and Lando were also with us. And I'm not gonna tell my family, I'll just tell the internet. This is good too. So you didn't tell him and you put the same underwear on and got into a car for a couple hours. Exactly. And nobody said peep because I had taken care of it. And I, 'cause I knew, I told him, I told 'em a week later. Yeah, you gotta wait. You know, when I rode home with y'all, IH charted. You gotta, you gotta wait a week for that kind of thing. They were like, why didn't you tell me? It was like I said, Christy. If I told you I sharded right before we got in the car and drove two and a half hours home from San Diego the entire time, all you'll be doing is saying, I smell it. I smell it. You have, I know you need to pull over and you need to, you need to go into a target and get some new underwear. Yeah, she would, she would've made me, she would've, she would've made me take a train. Yeah. It's a nice train though. Those never done it before, but I've heard of good things. Pretty good. Um, but dad's on the train by himself. Why? Well, he's sharted, raspberry popping candy. We didn't even rank that last one. I'm just getting confused at this point. It's really good. They're all good. They're all so good. Tony, can I take another shot at the restaurant? Yes. Abby's, that's it. That's where I was lining up to. I think it is. It Abby's. No, no. Here we go. This makes sense. I I gave you the wrong one. It's chaos. What'd you gimme? One hour ahead? Mm-hmm. Yeah. What we're gonna do, do you remember what you ordered? What we're gonna do is I'll figure it out and then I'll give it to the editors and it'll be a lower third. Okay. No so fault. Feels like we are all defeated back here, but the editors are excited. I don't know how, I don't know what else to tell you. You walk up to a, it's all outdoors. You walk up to a counter, the counter's outdoors. The thing is, is once it's themed, like a corral, just so you know, just because this is how, this is how the the internet worked, is once you figure out where it is and we put it in the lower third, people are gonna go to the, this is good. Google reviews of this particular establishment and be like, I heard that link, Neil Sharded here. And I don't want that for this place. So maybe we just leave it a mystery. Let's leave it a mystery. Yeah, that's what I was thinking all along. So can go any milk, chocolate chip cookie, any barbecue, uh, restaurant in San Diego. Go to their Google page and be like, I don't know. It's possible. That link Neal Sharded here. Yeah. Do just don't make we have the answer. Any claims we have it. Do we wanna reveal it or let the people know, or, oh, because of the bidet thing. Oh. Japanese style toto bidet verified. What's it called? It's like the first thing Chase said. Grand old barbecue Esto in North Park, San Diego. Yeah, that's it. It's it because Carney said Esto with just an American accent. I think you're like, oh, is that a Mexican place? So it's good. Barbecue it a Mexican boy. It's right on the border. Texas, whether you're in San Diego or in Texas, is is Tex Max Barbecue? I only got the barbecue part. Good though. Huh? So good. It's a Texas style barbecue and Argentinian grilled meats served in a straightforward outdoor space. Did you notice that? Nope, not when I got there. I was just concerned that they were gonna be out of brisket. Not as good. This one's, um, not as good. I don't even know what it is anymore. I'm sorry, y'all. I, I really am sorry for everything. Yeah, you should. Have I snapped at you? The first answer you said was right? Yeah. The very first one. Milk chocolate caramel cookie. Um, we're gonna try that and then we're gonna try the last one. Oh, which is everything Bar. Let's just go with the everything bar. 'cause it's got what this one has in it. And we love that one. We even without tasting it, is this the everything bar? What? But what is this though? At this point it's lunch. Yeah. Sorry. That's your sniff there. Oh, hmm. That's the best one. What's that look like? The, the box? The bar? Yeah. This one. This is the best one. You're still here. Everything Bar is the best one, right? Well, it's not as good as a chocolate, dark chocolate, but I will say it's very tasty. Okay. Very tasty. Get your food fix on the Mythical Kitchen channel, now. When you were eating pizza with Ian in his room playing video games, you've described that as like. Oh yeah.
