What does our ideal cereal look like? Welcome to Good Mythical More. You may remember when we did a cereal tier list that Link told a story about while on vacation creating something he called Super Duper Dessert Raisin Nut Bran. Yeah. Which was a Raisin Nut Bran that had all of the bits organized in the way that he wanted for pe- peak enjoyment. It had ... Yeah, I pulled out more of the Raisin Nuts, which are the raisins that are then covered in nut sludge. And then you've got the, uh, you got the flakes. And I picked out more of these to increase the ratio. And now that I've eaten so many cookies, I, I kinda don't have the gusto of what I did that night on my vacation. It was vacation. You, a- I mean, you know, it wasn't just, uh, just a, a Tuesday night. It wasn't even a Friday night. You know what I'm saying? So this is just a raisin rolled in nuts. Mm-hmm. Hmm. And then there's just regular nuts. And what kind of nut is that? Almond, I think. Yeah. Is it ... Yeah. Crunchy almonds, covered raisins, crispy flakes. There's not a lot of almonds, unless they all gather somewhere. Um- Do they gather? They gather. The thing that I do with Raisin Nut Bran, one of my favorite cereals, is the moment that I got a fresh box, you gotta remember this, you gotta take ... I've told you this before. You take, you, you lay it flat. You pull the bag out. You turn it around. You put it back in. You have to lay it flat so that it, it doesn't bunch at the bottom, because if it bunches at the bottom, you can't get it back in the box. Lay it flat, keep it spread out, push it back in upside down, and then open the bottom. And then over the course of eating the cereal, you're redistributing the heavy stuff. And then the first bowl- Don't sweat the- Becomes the good- ... petty stuff Pet the sweaty stuff. Pet the sweaty stuff. Don't, don't sweat the, don't sweat the- Don't sweat the petty stuff ... petty stuff. Pet the sweaty stuff. Pet the sweaty stuff. Is what our roommate Gregg- Some words to live by ... used to tell you. Alright, so what are you say- Are you saying that I'm sweating the petty stuff? No, you said something about heavy stuff. Oh, the heavy stuff. And it made me think about that. Yeah. Um, we lived with a sage in college. His name was Gregg with three Gs, and he would say things like that. Like, you don't learn anything. You know what you know. That's how he got me to stop studying for a test one time. And when I would worry about stuff, which was all the time, he would say, "Don't s- "Sweat the petty stuff, pet the sweaty stuff." Brilliant, right? Yeah. You think we can sell that on a shirt and not give him a cut? He'll find out about it. He's the guy who- That's the only reason ... had the, we had the, his base on the wall, and then he, one day after 10 years of having it hanging on our set, he decided he wanted it back. Oh, more than 10 years. All the years. Yeah, so many more. Okay, so we can make the shirt. Yeah, that's right. That's what I thought. Okay. I, this cereal doesn't excite me. I'm just, I wanna be honest about you. You've never tried it? Uh, no, I've had it, but a lot of people love it because it feels like it's a little bit healthy, and- But there's sugar coating on the actual flakes, 'cause you can see the shine. I mean, how much, how much sugar is in a, in a, a serving size of a cup? 19 grams. But I wonder if the perfect cereal from this... I don't know, it might be the ratio that it comes in, 'cause there's quite a few of these little raisins, and then you get the crunchiness of all. I'm just gonna do what I think is a good ratio. It, it's, it's pretty magical. You c- I went too heavy. It, it, sometimes they do overpower. I think it's a really good ratio as long as you do what I did with the, with the bag. I could do without the nuts, but I feel like the nuts is the part that makes you feel a little bit healthy. The crunch of an almond? Almonds have just grown on me over the past couple of years. Well, you need to see somebody about that. I thought they were bunions to start. I, I could use more almonds. So look at that. I've got- I'm actually going almond, I'm picking out all the almonds, and, and that's the only thing I'm changing today, because I'm not on vacation. This is really fancy milk, and you might have just a little coddled cream. They look like cat nails. Ignore that. I walk around my house and sometimes I see a c- I see a complete cat claw just laying there. Yeah. And it grows back, I think. Cat claws grow back, right? Yeah, they're, like, shedding the outer layer of the claw. Oh, okay. Good. Do you do anything with them? Make it a necklace. Yeah. Making a necklace of them. That's pretty cool. Chew 'em up. Um, it is illegal to declaw a cat in California, I believe. Anybody else believe that? Here's another almond. I believe that. It's just a little sliver. Growing up, everybody's cats was declawed in North Carolina. Remember that? I didn't really... I don't see any more almonds, so I'm done with this. It, I feel like it was the norm. Yeah, for sure. Everybody was like... Um, it, it's- A law that was passed in, uh, January 1st this year. But it just became... Everyone became aware that declawing cats was cruel, and so then it just kinda stopped. H- and it's cruel- 'Cause I had a declawed cat as a kid ... it's cruel because they can't... I'm sorry? I had a declawed cat as a, as a kid here in California. Wh- why did they illegalize it? It's cruel. It's like you're removing- Can you explain- ... like sensory part of- ... why it's cruel? Uh, like the, when you declaw the cats, you're basically kind of taking off, like, up to the first knuckle of your own finger. Yeah, like- It's not taking off the, like, nail. It's not just a defense mechanism ... it'd be like taking off part of your finger. They're, like, constantly using it for, like, stimulation, and they're, like, clawing on the carpets and the things because- And it can lead to, like, long-term, like, nerve pain and- Ugh like, issues for them. I mean, I'm not pro decline, I'm just curious. Put that on a T-shirt. But yeah, like, in the '90s I had a, a cat that was declawed. O- only dry food before, like, we kind of... It became commonplace to give wet food and all that stuff. We were just like, "Yeah, cats will fend for themselves." Right. I'm not pro declawing, I'm just curious. That's my platform- ... for this election. Ah, yeah, we're- It, it ta- We're anti declawing ... it's like cutting off the, your fingertip of a, of your cat. We're pro clawing. It's not just about self-defense. It's about cats keeping their fing- what about dogs keeping their tails? What about dogs having that little extra claw cut off? 'Cause everybody does that. The dewclaw. And they say that... Now, here's the, here's my understanding of that. My, my dogs are not cut off, and I have- I don't know if my dogs are ... I have to trim the nail because it will go, it will spiral all the way around. I guess mine are cut off. Jade doesn't have as many as Jasper. But here's the- But it depends here's the thing. Our dogs are so unnatural at this point. They're, like, bred to be things that should have never existed. Mm-hmm. Of course, I think they should exist. And so they have, like, issues with it that wouldn't be in the natural world, so it's c- it's a corrective measure. I'm not a fan of Lucky Charms because I don't like... I only like marshmallows in s'mores, and, and cereal marshmallows- Are better than regular marshmallows ... so what I'm gonna make is just a marshmallow-less Lucky Charm. Do you see what, do you see the pattern here, guys? I tell you, he's the guy you go gold mining with that walks out with a pile of dirt. Isn't that a good companion? Yeah, he's g- he's great to have around because you get twice as much of what you want. Do you want my marshmallows? Yes. Jack Sprat, man. Well, that's on the ground now The, the only part of Lucky Charms that I don't like is the cereal part. It's just so filler. I mean, it's the, it is the definition of filler. Like- So between the two of them, they lick the platter clean. No, this is just Speaking of cat food ... Alphabits, man. I think I'm about to tell you. Is this ... This is just, um- I think I'm about to tell you ... Alphabits. Can I have more marshies? Don't give me any of that bull crap, extra bull crap. I want all marsh. It kind of does look like cat food, though. That's plenty. You gave me one. Uh, yep. That's all you're gonna give me? You got lots more. Well, y- you're not gonna sit there and eat them all, are you? No. I just wanna feel it. Isn't this a ... They, they do this. It's called Oops Only Marshmallows, right? Or More Marshmallows. What's the Oops Lucky Charms? I think you're thinking of Captain Crunch Oops All Berries. Oops All Berries. Oops All Berries. Yep. They don't ... This would be way too expensive if they did this. Look at this. It's like eating chalk, isn't it? I'm gonna, I'm gonna eat this rainbow. I love the consistency of it. It's a crunchy marshmallow. And look, oh, and then you get them a little bit wet. It's just like eating straight g- gross c- candy. It's, like, g ... The flavor is, like- ... like a gross sweet tart. It's too much, dude. Moderation, restraint, sensibility. Somewhere in between us is a normal person. The guy who likes the, the best part, but likes it too much, and the guy who hates the best part. That's an interesting combination. What is this? Alpha- Alphabits. I was right. After two exclusive marshmallow bites, I'm here to say you need a little bit of something extra in there. But not a lot. You maybe need a 50/50 ratio. So is this o- this is oats, right? Whole grain oats. Yeah. There we go. Now we're good. I'm, I'm pretty sure this is just Alphabits, and it's great. Mm. Mm-hmm. Hm. 50/50 marshmallows to kibble. Kibble. That's what you need. Kibbles 'n Bits. That's good. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. What else we got here? Reese's Puffs. What is happening with the Reese's Puf- I mean, these are ... Aren't these all the same, yeah? Yeah, we accidentally got you Oops! All Puffs. But now Oops! All Puffs. Now let's, yeah, let's move the conversation to cutting the tails of- off of dogs. What about that? Is that illegal? All right. So let's eat a peanut. Close your eyes, open your mouth, tell me ... I'm gonna give you your spoon. Oh, let me, let me wash out. I'm gonna give you three of one color. M- and 'cause there's a theory floating around. Open. That's peanut butter for sure. Okay. But also a little chocolate. All right. Wash your mouth out. Hold on. Keep your eyes closed. Here we go. Same flavor. Let me do. Now, don't ... Now, this is science, so don't be squirreling me. Okay? Mm, that's good. Powdery on the outside, peanut buttery definitely. Maybe a little chocolate. That's what I said. Next. We looked it up, and, uh, taking off the part of the tail of a dog is the same as taking off a little bit of the butt of your, of you. Well, some people- No, I just made that up. Just taking off a little bit of your butt cheek. Some people will do that. Hold on. Whatever I didn't have, give me the other again. Whatever you didn't have? Whatever I didn't have, give me that. You've had both. Whatever I didn't just have. Go back to the first one. Okay. God, have to spell everything out for you. Now the other one. Peanut butter. Not as much peanut butter. I think I agree with you. The one thing that I was gonna say is it was so obviously peanut butter the first time I had the peanut butter ones. Yeah. But a little bit of chocolate. And then the next time, I said same flavor, but in my, in the back of my mind, I was thinking, "But maybe not as much peanut butter. It, but is that because my mouth was surprised by the peanut butter the first time?" But you just went back and forth twice, and that was what you concluded. But I'm surp- I'm, I'm surpri- Can I- I don't think that the chocolate would get ... Well, I was hoping you'd, we would ... Yeah. Well, you wanna take them home? Yeah. I was th- the chocolate doesn't rub off on the peanut butter balls. If anything, the peanut butter would rub off on the chocolate balls. I think the chocolate is rubbing off on the peanut butter balls. They're both rubbing off on each other a little bit, just like my real balls. Yeah. No- That's why when you get old, you don't have balls anymore, because they've just been rubbing off on each other. It's, it's like a rock tumbler. Really. It's like a rock tumbler. Um, old men, their, uh, their ears get bigger, hair starts growing out of weird places, and their balls just go down to little nubs that have been rubbing against each other in that sack that you have your whole life. Oh, God. Man, what is wrong with you? Anatomy. What is wrong with you? Anatomy. Uh, I mean, it's- I mean, it is called the rock tumbler theory, officially. Let's ask the medic. Where is he? John, you're new here. Are you, are you a medic? No. He's like, "Yeah, no." Link, having gone back to this, and having my balls rub together a little bit over the past minute or so, um, what I have discovered is that the peanut butter is definitely different. Go back and forth a couple of times. Well, I'm just gonna reach for one, and I don't even know what it is. I'm gonna put it in my mouth and I'm gonna tell you what it is. The chocolate is also crispier. You heard it here. Peanut butter. Well, we have no way of knowing. Well, look. Look at my hand. Okay. You see what that is? Yeah. Chocolate. It was peanut butter. So, uh- You know, you can't- What about, what about- You can't win them all ... what about this one? All right, what is that? All right. Don't tell me. Okay. Chocolate. Nope. Nope. Okay, here, let me do it. See? See? Uh, y- yeah. Chocolate. It was peanut butter. Was it? Yeah. What's that? Dip? Yep. Chocolate. Peanut butter. We both did the same thing. They're the same. Oh, God. No, they're not the same. But they're a little bit different. Hold on, close your eyes. Hold out your hand, and then put that in your mouth. You wanna give me a Trix? Peanut butter. Chocolate. It, they rub off on each other. They rub off on... I'm telling you that they do. What about this? Why didn't they make them- I still got some in this ... more different looking? You ever thought about that? This is the beauty of Reese's Puffs. They're inexplicable. It does say, "Sweet and crunchy corn puffs." I mean- Is it just marketing? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, w- w- we should be able to definitively figure this out, dude. We can't. We tried. No, what we've said is that they're the same. Uh, um, but I don't know which one to ... All right. Here, let me, let me- Give me a peanut butter one and I'll see if I can taste it, now, with my eyes closed. What? All right, here. Close your eyes. Let me clean out again. Clean out. I'm not gonna chew this one. I'm gonna suck it. But I'm gonna give it to you. Yeah. Hold out your hand. Let me just- Place it on my tongue 'cause I don't wanna feel a difference. Okay. Hold your tongue straight out, not down. Okay. Chocolate. Okay, hold on. And then this one. Oh. Strong peanut butter. You were totally wrong. Totally opposite. So they're the same. Do it to me. I just don't believe you. Oh, boy. I mean, I, I just can't believe it. Okay. You ready? Right now I'm gonna say peanut butter. But I'm also gonna wait until I s- if I taste the other one. Give me the opposite. I can't remember which one I gave you. Okay. Well, tell the man. Does anybody know? I think I know. I'm just looking at my computer. I think I know which one it was. Here, try this one. See, they both taste like peanut butter and a little bit of chocolate, but that one is less peanut butter, so that's the chocolate one. Opposite. Really? That was definitely peanut butter. First one, I think, was chocolate. Second one definitely peanut butter. They're all the same, then. They're all the same. They're all the same. I mean, two professional tasters. Took this long to figure it out, but I, I feel really, really confident that they are all the same. There's ... That way ... And they have a perfect ratio of the colors. What does Reddit say about this? It's just colors. It's nothing but colors. Do they agree? No idea. Well? We don't need nobody to tell us nothing. We already found out. That's right. We figured it out. Our new glow-in-the-dark Alien Abduction Pin of the Month is available Monday. Subscribe now to never miss a drop at mythical.com.
