Oh, no, no, no. Stupid idiot. I’m gonna shotgun. No, no, no! Go on. Nicole I’m gonna a shotgun. Just look. What up? It’s you boy Josh, aka the alpha baby, AKA DJ Burrito Slurp, AKA Big Papa Pump of extra sour cream. And it’s that time again. Time to take two iconic snacks, smash ‘EM together and see if we can create a beautiful food baby. Now we asked you which two snacks you wanted to see smashed together and you said. Mountain Dew and Twinkies. You sick S.O.B.’s. Will this snack be a smash? Find out! Because this is Snack Smash! Don’t look over there where there’s a bunch of Mountain Dew and Twinkies. That was complete coincidence. Can we blur it out in Post? Post? Thank you. Nicole, you’re gonna say something about the way that we were dressed. Yeah. What was it? What were you gonna say? That’s it. Oh, okay. Okay. So I’m. I look like an army lady. I was gonna say, Hey, what are you doing? Cadet Kelly cosplay. Hillary Duff, come on the show. Don’t get me started on Cadet Kelly. That movie is where I found out that I have a toxic relationship with brunettes who are mean to me. Christy Carlson Romano. Oh my god. No. The best part about that whole thing was the Disney Channel game that you would play. Yes. The Cadet Kelly Game. Let’s go. And you could pick your own color of like camouflage uniform. Guess what color I always. Chose? Pink. Yeah. Here, have some Mountain Dew. No I don’t want. Nicole, we need to get the flavors down to make these Mountain Dew Twinkies. Oh God. Why did you tongue it like that? Because I don’t want it. What do you mean? When you don’t want something, you just shove your tongue down it? Yeah. All right. I feel that I guess. It’s worked out pretty well for me so far. Twinkies. We gotta like analyze the cake structure here ’cause like, I’m a firm believer that Twinkies are an incredibly underrated snack. I feel like they don’t get the respect they deserve. I don’t care for Twinkies. I’m more of a Hoho girl. I love Twinkies. I think Twinkies are maybe the most underrated snack food on the planet. It’s an incredible cake. The texture is beautiful. The scent is haunting. The mouth feel of the cream is just gorgeous. I’m a fan. I think there’s some little science tricks that we can, were you gonna tres leches it? ‘Cause that was my idea. Yeah. Yeah. Here you go. We got some things. Ooh. I see how this can potentially work. I would describe the flavor of Mountain Dew as one part lemon, one part lime, two parts orange, and three parts poison. Right now to get the cake right, I’m gonna use the classic Mountain dew for the cake. And then code red for the filling. Code Red? I’ve never even tried Code Red. Is it Cherry? Did you order the Code Red? Come on oh my god. I did Officer. No, it’s ya goddamn right I did. Jack Nicholson. Come on Nicole. Learn your history. People don’t know cinematic history these days. The code red line. It is Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson in a Few Good Men. And in my college dorm we had Mountain Dew Code red. So every time somebody would get it, we’d go slam it down on the cafeteria table and go, did you order the code red? And someone else would go, I did what I had to do. Did you order the code red? You’re goddamn right I did. And so we’d do that almost every day and people didn’t like it. So we’re gonna whip up the egg whites to try and do like a meringue, I doubt they’re doing this in the factory, but this is gonna be a great way to add lightness to that cake, and then I’m also gonna take our wet ingredients. We got some normal dairy milk. Dairy milk? I have no problem with saying dairy milk. People are all mad at that. It’s called, I’m not mad at it. When the electric guitar was invented, were people mad that they had to say acoustic guitar? Probably, but they dealt with it. Especially ’cause they got some freaking sick shreds. Hendricks playing the national anthem couldn’t have been possible on it, you know what I mean? I’ve added beef tallow to some milk right here. Okay, cool. I’m adding a bunch of melted butter as well. Beautiful There is beef tallow in Twinkies. That’s so interesting. Because these are like such an old timey snack and back then they just had so much, beef tallow was healthy back then. Yeah. Hey, got some beef tallow! Beef tallow, cigarettes, and driving under the influence, back then, not now, ’cause we have the science now to tell us those things are bad for us. Uh huh. Watch Mad Men though. Everyone’s eating steaks, driving drunk, smoking cigarettes all the time. I’m a big fan of Mad Men. And then he, no spoilers created the Coca-Cola song or whatever. Why did you do that? ♪ We are the world ♪ Wrong song. That’s the Coca Cola song. No, no, no. Don Draper? No. Alright. He treated women badly. Okay. That’s how mad I am about Don Draper. Yeah, she’ll sing, Bye bye Birdie. It reminds people of America and family and ya like slap a girl in the ass. Get outta here, toots. Meringues done! Wow! Can I eat it raw? I guess you can’t, right? Nicole, while the cameras were off. She was just like, so the sugar cooks the meringue, right? I’m like, absolutely not. She’s like, well why have I been eating this raw my whole life? I’ve just been eating raw eggs. I’m like, yeah. She’s like, you can’t do that. I’m like, apparently you can. You haven’t died yet. I guess. Legally don’t eat raw eggs. I don’t know, I guess I’m just a stupid person. Sometimes. No, I guess you’re built different, Nicole. Oh, see, Is that better than saying you’re stupid? Listen, I have consumed so many products that you’re not supposed to consume. Mm-hmm. Just raw chicken sashimi, pork sashimi questionably old leftovers. To me, it just ferments. Again, this is not medical advice. I am more of a doctor than Dr. Oz, but less of a doctor than your actual doctor. I feel like I’m a, I could have been a good doctor if I really applied myself. Why? Like what kind? I don’t know. A gastroenterologist. I Could be like a Patch Adams kind of doctor. A clown? Yeah. You could be a clone clown? I could be a clown. We’re adding lemon extract and lime extract right now. Wow. because that’s the flavor of Mountain Dew. That’s the flavor of Mountain Dew along with some concentrated orange juice. And then we also have just straight up reduction of Mountain Dew. We’ve just been boiling Mountain Dew. Oh, classy. We have a Mountain Dew reduction? All right. I’m adding some yellow food dye. We’re gonna dump it all in here. Okay. We’re gonna spin at high speeds. We’re gonna add a bunch of binding chemicals that they will be using in a factory like this. So let’s get to it, I suppose. Okay. Just put the dries in here? Yeah. I’m gonna, almost enough. We got cake flour right here. Sugar. So this is normal table sugar. Obviously Twinkies are super sweet. Super sweet. And then we have dextro going in there. Ooh, fun. That’s not fruit sugar. Fruit sugar’s, fructose, right? It’s from Dexter, it’s from Dexter. Oh yeah yeah yeah. It’s from his laboratory, get it? Oh I thought you were talking about the murderer. We’re adding baking powder in there. Okay. Which is? Baking powder. Yeah. Tell the people what baking powder is. I don’t, oh, I think it’s baking soda and cream of tartar. Is that right? Can someone fact check that? Wait. Nicole was right. Can you say that one more time, louder? Nicole was right. Okay, now you say it. Say Say what? Nicole was right. I blacked out for a second, I missed it. What happened? Nicole was right. This is basically gonna take the place of creaming the fat with the sugar. Very interesting. Because you’re probably not doing that in the big old factory. Right? You know what I mean? We’re adding malted barley powder. Ooh, exciting. That’s a fun one. Little bit of fermented barley. And then spin that up Nicole. Oh, oh oh. Citric acid, Citric acid because, Oh, fun. Because Mountain Dew obviously has acid in it. All these lemon lime sodas, that’s where you get that little bit of sourness from. Beautiful. So we have this cake that’s gonna really mimic that. Okay, cool. And then you’re gonna spin that up, and then we’re just gonna drop in our weirdly tertiated wets. I like it. I don’t know. We’re doing it. Oh, it’s so coagulated. One second. Yeah, it’s fine dude. Everything’s just gonna spin up in this. Always add wet to dry. Except when you want to add dry to wet. I like the way you say always. Except sometimes, what? Always. Always? You said always. You say that I say, what word do you say that I say weird? Yeah, She says I say the word channel weird. Channel. Channel. That’s enough. Subscribe to our YouTube channel. Josh. I’m done. Josh, there’s no more liquids. How do you say channel? Put it down! What do you say? You say it. You say channel, Analise. Channel. Channel. Channel. I have a YouTube channel. Channel. All right, Nichole, you fold the meringue into that. Sure. We’re trying to get some lightness with that. And I’m just gonna sit here and do the most important job, cleaning. Hey, Josh, if you could be any animal, what animal would you be? Bearcat. What’s a bearcat? It’s neither bear nor cat. Oh. Uh huh? They live in trees, they’re from like. Are they real animals or is it something that you made in your head? It’s real animal. Google bearcat. Bearcat? Can someone Google bearcat, please? And then bring your computer monitor over, and show Nichole what a bear, It’s my favorite animal. Nicole, check out bearcat. Oh my God. Aren’t they cute? Like it’s like a lemur. Look at that tail. Yeah, their eyes. Ben, you zoom in on the eyes. Thanks. I zoomed in naturally. Bearcats are simply the best animal. They have beadie eyes with no pupils. It’s black. Like you’re staring into the devil’s anus itself. Also, it’s kind of just like a cool unique answer. Everyone’s like, I like dolphins. Like dolphins are killers. This texture is like nothing I’ve seen before and I’m so excited. Well you’ve seen me eat over three pounds of baby food multiple times? I’ve seen you eat a paqui chip. I’ve seen you. Oh that was bad. Eat baby food. Oh, the seven oranges that one day? ‘Cause you were trying to, trying to break the world record for you force feeding me oranges or something? I’m left-handed and I had to feed you like literally like this. Remember? Ooh. This tastes way better than that. Once the merengue is folded in there. Am I gonna die? What? From eating this? Nicole, I regret to inform you. We’re all gonna die. Hey, welcome to snack smash, Let’s make some cake. Ahhhh. Sorry. Josh. I did not think that was gonna happen. I have two other videos to shoot today. I didn’t even get to see what it tasted like. Have you ever been, have you ever been to a website? There’s one called sporked.com. We’re a writer. I’m gonna throw up. Oh, I actually don’t feel good. Oh God. I’m gonna feel, I feel sick. Jordan Meyer wrote about little, little Debbie’s Hostess cakes. You can read about it. Link in the description. Go to sporked.com. Mmmmm. I knew when the keys were coming out, when they were jingling in his hand. I knew chaos was about to erupt. I forgot to taste it. I need another one. I promise I won’t shotgun it this time. How can you do that? Oh, no, no, no no. Stupid idiot, I’m gonna shotgun. No, no, no , no. No, no, come on, just one! The world of shotgunning is full of possibilities. I have not yet shotgunned Campbell’s condensed cream of mushroom soup, that is at the top of my list. It would take a lot of sucking power to get down. But you know what? This guy got a lot of sucking power. This is straight up Crisco. We’re just gonna make a really classic stodgy filling. We’re gonna whip a lot of this. Hyd, hyd. What is it? Hydrolyzed? No, what’s the other one? Hydrogenated. Hydrogenated because there are three, AP Chemistry is rushing back to me. I got a legit F in that class. I almost couldn’t go to college because of it, there are three types of bonds. There is ionic, covalent, and hydrogen bonds. That’s correct. Hydrogen bonds is the strongest of them. Okay. Take that Mrs. Gaines. I’m gonna put, Life is hard. I’m gonna put these pipe Twinkies in the oven for like maybe like seven, eight minutes. Wait, wait for me, wait for me. I’m doing, I’m still doing this. Okay, finish. So what I’ve been doing is progressively adding brown sugar. We’re gonna add all that Mountain Dew Code Red syrup. Why did you do that? What? You were told specifically to not add it all. If you put everything in a little bowl, I’m gonna dump it in there. Josh! I’m just gonna run this on high for a while and then I think it’s gonna be good. ‘Cause Nichole the way the hydrogen bond sticks out. The way the hydrogen bonds function, is each carbon has six coals, six co coils. And then the co coils get bonded by the hydrogen. And then, were you the Pan’s Labyrinths creature? You look like a Guillermo Del Toro character right now. So whenever Josh makes eye contact with me, he tries to like deter and like move around. But like I like follow his eye line, and it scares him. I’m uncomfortable. We’ve got our Mountain Dew Twinkies. I like to call them moontain dwinkies Are outta the oven right now. Ah, that’s great. And uh a thing we’ve noticed one, they look like pickles. A little bit. Oh, I fudged that one up. And also they’ve gotten a little bit brown right here. They have. So what we’re gonna do, and what we intend to do in the factories, when we make these, when we mass produce these for the Hostess corporation, is all of them will be hand whittled and scrim sawed with a subliminal message in there. The thing is, we’re not gonna use human labor. We’re gonna have chimpanzees who are smoking cigarettes and whittling Twinkies by hand, all around the clock. Here’s the thing about chimpanzees, they don’t get tired. Especially when they’re all cracked up on nicotine. And then also we’re gonna put, put them in front of typewriter writers and then they’re gonna write the whole, all the works of Shakespeare, right? Yeah. What Nicole’s talking about is a, as a philosophical thought experiment, where the idea is that there’s an infinite time period and you put a monkey at a typewriter, it will eventually type the works of Shakespeare. I believe if we put a typewriter in front of a chimpanzee, they would write the works of Diablo Cody. Yes, the famed writer of Juno. This is the ancient art of Scrimshaw, that pirates who never did anything wrong, they didn’t have the science back then to know that what they were doing is wrong. What do you mean science? They didn’t have the, there wasn’t the research. Morality and science. There was not the research back then. To know that you shouldn’t pillage. Kinda ruined this Twinkie. I’m gonna eat the scraps. But hey, what? Do you want me to carve your name? You know, you ever see like when like, so I never really went on vacation when I was a kid, but whenever like people go to like Jamaica and stuff, they would get their name on a grain of rice. Yeah, I’m doing it. And I always wanted one, but I could never get one because my parents couldn’t take me to Jamaica. We walked across the border to Tijuana once, I really wanna go to TJ. I took a picture on top of a zebra. Yeah? It was a spray painted donkey. This is real, this is dead ass serious. I don’t know if y’all thought those references were jokes. How large for you back then? Not large enough to buckle a donkey, which is a pack animal, Nicole. If that’s what you’re asking. Also I’m writing your name right now. Okay. Can you show some gratitude? Having a food debate podcast with Nicole actually has affected our time cooking together. Because now we have nothing to talk about. It’s hard because he’s my boss and then he’s my co-host. We’ll start having an argument, then we’ll go, Okay, save that for the podcast. And then Nicole will just be like, I’m thinking about painting my nails aubergine. And I’m like, I don’t care. I have no, I don’t know what that means. You know when you start writing a happy birthday on a card and you realize you made the H way too big. Yeah. Now I got Nico. So if you ever have. Nico? If you ever like a little, I love it! Like an Italian nephew named Nico. No, that’s just what you’re gonna call me from now on. I love it. Oh, these are looking pretty good. Yeah, I know, I’m doing a good job. Do you want me to feel, do you want me to lick them to give him a good shine? Yes. Yes, do it. You won’t do it. You’re too scared. He did it, he did it. Now. This one’s mine. Now this one’s just mine. Oh, now I have to do it over again. Can I fill it? Yeah. Not the licked one, please. Please, not. This is a tester. This is a tester to get the testing method right. So, Twinkies have three holes in the bottom, just like humans, Twinkies have three holes, to be filled. That’s a good one. Ooh, this is a weird color, Nicole. We’ve made it a weird color scheme here. It’s Christmas. But if you’re on, if you’re on amphetamines. We should have made Hanukkah Twinkies. No, we don’t always need to make a Jewish thing, Josh. What? I do enough of that on my off time. Maybe you could do it on your off time. Oh no. Oh no, I don’t know what’s happening. That’s not normal. Well, I’m glad our tests are turned out. Twinkies. Okay, this is why we practiced. Let’s see how much filling got in there. None. Absolutely none. I have high hopes for this. I think it’s gonna turn out pretty good. I like both flavors, notice how I didn’t say love, but maybe if they smash together, I love it. Oh no, this isn’t cool anymore. It’s this or it’s this. This is how millennials, this is how, I’m sorry. Gen X, what am I? Pipe it in, pipe it in, pipe in the filling. This is the way it has to be, now. We’re at this point ’cause, this is the only way to get a lot of filling in there. Ooh. Oh god. All right. Is that good? That’s great. And then we just have to patch it back up. Just like Patch Adams real doctor. He patched up all those kids. Not, he didn’t lose one. I haven’t seen the movie, but I, none of those kids die, right? Stop moving. Ben. Don’t tell me they die. Ben, I can’t handle that right now. For all intents and purposes we made Twinkies. We made, we made Mountain Dew Twinkies. Yeah. Cut to the packaging! Alright. Ow. This is my friend Vianai Austin. Hi! We love V! And we have a very important job to do right now. We have to decide if this snack smashes or passes. Do y’all feel prepared to do that? Yes, I am very prepared. I was born ready. Let’s do that. Do you, uh what are your initial thoughts on the Mountain Dew Twinkie? You see it’s got a violent green color. It looks like Pickle Rick. I’m Pickle Twink. Exactly. All right. Let’s open ‘EM up. How cute are these? They, they look like twink Twinkies. They’re, they look like disease Twinkies. Like Twinkies that need to get just one of those real big shots to the butt that clear out everything. No, they just look like they’ve been sitting on the roof of your car for about eight days or so- They’re so sweet! All right, let’s crack open smell it. It reeks a mountain dew. Mmmmmm, lemon lime. Wow, that’s so pretty. That’s gorgeous inside. Ahh it’s Christmas. This is too, this is too much. Man, this is gonna be weird. It’s kind of beautiful. I like it. Let’s jump in. Oh God. What an explosion of flavor to your mouth. There’s an old factory explosion and it is, I have never experienced anything like this in my mind. My arms have been paralyzed into this position. The flavor is tripping me out so much. Like the lime and lemon extract just like explodes in your mouth. It’s really intense. Y’all ever had like a vodka soaked gummy bear? Unfortunately, yes. Right, and it’s like, I don’t know that I want to be chewing this flavor right now. Some of that’s going on here, but also, I’m trying to keep an open mind ’cause Twinkies have made flavors before. They have the tropical Twinkies, they have the weird blue goo in it. Shrek. They have the Shrek Twinkies. These kinda look like Shrek Twinkies. This looks like Shrek Shrek’s something else. You know what I mean? This is something. Do you feel like you’re prepared to make a judgment call on this of of smash or pass? Yes, I am. All right. Let’s pu pick pu poke up your pules. I can’t even talk my. Josh is tripping. I’m salivating so much from this. I had a line of spit. All right, we’re gonna do a three, two, one countdown and then on one we’re gonna go. three, two, one. I’m hard passing, Nicole’s smashing! I do not want another bite of that ever in my life. This is so fun. Are you kidding me? It was fun and a cool experience, but it’s a little bit overwhelming. I’m not gonna lie. I think it’s the most unique flavor experience I’ve ever had, and I think that’s really special. That’s why I’m smashing. Oh God. Well. Hard pass. One for two, Nicole, you have officially won the prize of getting to take home all these Twinkies. Yay! I am utterly shocked by this. V you’re on the right side on this one. Yeah, yeah. I have no words. I need to shotgun a couple Diet Cokes to get that out. Thank you all for participating in this incredibly scientific process. I hope you learned something along the way about us, about yourselves, about Twinkies. And hey, you got a friend. Tell a friend about Mythical Kitchen. Send them this video, send them your favorite video, try and indoctrinate them into the way of the palm heal strike, and get them on board. For us, not for the Twinklie. I’m gonna palm heal strike the Twinkies. We’ll see you all next time. It didn’t do anything. It just bounces back. It is the snack that bounces back. Goldfish.
