My friend Tom Scott has never had anything from arowan until today. Wish me luck. >> Welcome back to the mythical kitchen where we all got to eat. Even if you're English, their food is just a little bit grayer and use the adjective mushy a lot more than we do, but it's roughly the same. I >> I'm not going to disagree with you this early. I'm going to How am I supposed to Yes. And you on that? >> Yeah. Yeah. Just go mushy piece, right? Cuz that's what you sound like to me. Um this is Tom. This is Tom. Tom is a wonderful intro. Not an intro. Tom Scott, England, where he explores all of the wonderful uh mushed root vegetables that they have. No, Tom has an incredible series uh where you are exploring every single county in England, insisting that there is something tremendously fascinating in all those counties. >> Yes, I I went through underground tunnels. Uh I got to help fire a trebushe. Uh it is really nice to be doing like longer form stuff than I used to. Like these are 20 25minute videos and I I think it's the best thing I've ever done. It reminds me so much of the travel shows that I grew up loving. I mean, things like Bourdain and it's it's just wonderful. >> I am not Anthony B. >> You put a leather jacket on you. Come on. You got the silver fox hair. It's wonderful. But no, it really is a fantastic series and also it like very much fits into my worldview where there are so many interesting things if you just have the eyes to see them. Now, today we are eating and drinking our way through all of the most interesting things at Arowan, which what do you know about Awan? >> Very little. So I I've kind of been warned about Eowan that it is it is half grocery store for extremely rich people. >> Yes. >> Half Los Angeles tourist trap. >> Yes. >> And I told like a few friends I was coming here to do this and all of them said that I'm going to be grumpy and hate everything. Particularly when you tell me the prices. >> Yeah. The prices are extreme. That fits into their entire narrative though. I am utterly fascinated with this. I if I were to to find one interesting thing about LA County, uh it probably wouldn't be Air1, but that would be in the top 50 and I could not write a book about it, but at least read a book about it cuz it's fascinating. We're about to get into some really deep stuff. >> All right, >> you ready to do it? >> Let's do it. >> Hell yeah. We have a series of of clutches. >> I don't think I've ever lifted a clutch in my life. >> When it's time, you can lift every single clash. I've done it a lot. That's >> Where do I put the lid? Once I'm >> That's the hardest part of lifting is where to put the lid. Um, before us we have uh things. Analise. >> Hey Josh. Okay, that's right. Before you you have things. Today we're gonna see how the two of you do identifying some of the hairbrained health foods that Airwan sells. Now, without seeing the product packaging, you're going to have to taste and make your best guess for each item's name, ingredients, their health claims, and the price. Now, whoever gets the closest will win points determined by me and the crew. There's going to be three rounds and the winner gets a prize. >> I remember when there was only one arowan in Los Angeles and this is like, you know, 15 16 years ago. Uh, and it's it's like this 60-year-old macrobiotic health food store started by a Japanese couple in Boston that is named after an 1872 satirical novel by Samuel Butler where the tagline is in a world where illness is treated as criminal and criminals are treated as if they're ill. So the idea is like doctors are illegal in this society and people have to take health into their own hands. >> Is it nowhere backwards backwards or not quite scrambled? I lit I only just twig that you you said it's from a novel and something in my brain went hold on I can anagram this I assume they'll open up in London at some point and franchise internationally like we've got Whole Foods now. We've got all the American junk food chains >> and we still can't get a goddamn Nando out here. Come on. It's so good. It's a healthy option too. All right. Clear liquid. They have a lot of functional beverages. Cheers. >> I'm so nervous. Cheers. Not much of a noter. Okay. Salty. >> But there's a sweet note in there as well. And the note I've got weirdly is like biscety. >> Interesting. >> That's reminding me of like shortbread biscuit. There's nothing in the nose, is there? >> No. >> Either that or I've got COVID. >> Oh. >> Am I getting lactic notes off that? >> I think you are. This I think this is one of two products because there's a bacterial nature to it that would >> Yes. >> either send me towards tropical fruit or send me towards dairy. I think both get it. I think this is aqua kafir. >> I think that's probably some of the fermentation. I don't know why my brain is going shortbread as well. >> I just had a clarified goats milk punch. >> That's what it tastes. It tastes like the clarified milk punch. >> Milk punch. Yes. That >> that's why I think this is aqua kafir. >> So what's aquacapir? It sounds like kafir that's been clarified. Okay. >> What do you think this product is called? >> I think this is called OD Aqua Kafir. >> Not knowing how Arowan markets its things yet. I'm just going to go with clarified CF. No, I'm not going to take Kafir. I'm going to go with clarified yogurt or something like that. But just with a with a fancy fancy name, right? Clarified gut health yogurt. I am bad at marketing food. I'm I'm real bad at marking food. >> Now, what ingredients do you think we're going to find in here? >> I think there's some sort of I I think it's just going to use the phrase live cultures a lot. >> I think there's got to be a sweetener in there. >> If you take like plain keir, clarify it. It doesn't have that sweetener. It doesn't have that. Again, I I tasted short dread, you need some sugar in there for that. So, I think there's going to be something like agave nectar, some fancy thing, some fancy so they can say no added sugar, but it's got sugar in there. >> Yeah. >> Okay. And then I need what the health claims are and the price for this product. >> Gut health. That's got to be gut health. >> They never make a more specific claim than gut health because nobody knows what it is. >> Probiotic, something like that. >> Yeah. Um, I'm going to say just general probiotic, gut health. And I'm going to say this is a 16oz bottle for like $5.99. I think this is going to be a shot or something close to it. >> That's going to be like six, seven bucks for this tiny little bottle. >> The smaller the bottle, the more expensive, >> right? >> Yeah. >> All right, gentlemen. You can go ahead and reveal and I'm going to tell you about Sacred Water by Jolie Tonic. >> Sacred Water by Jolie Tonic. >> Organic grape juice, coconut milk, coconut water, jasmine tea, holy basil, organic anise, organic cardamom, organic raw honey. >> Raw honey. >> Raw honey. >> Okay, I got smart. I think I was I must have been completely thrown off by your keier thing. >> That's interesting though. >> I think it's interesting that you were like there's savory notes in there and I was like that's really sweet. And I wonder if that's like different tastes cuz a lot of stuff people like yeah this is normal. I I find over here to be really sweet. >> Um I'm going to sit from the other side of that cup. >> Yeah. Yeah. Please. I've tested negative for most things and if not all this will heal you. All this will heal you if whatever I have >> while you take a sip. They say that this elixir is meant to be deeply hydrating due to the coconut water and provides antioxidants and soothing properties via its herbal and tea components. And this cup of sacred water is $12. >> Get the >> So Tom got closest without going over. I'm going to give one point to Josh on the name cuz it sounded closer to Sacred Water. One point to Tom. >> I got really close. I said Odev which is water of life in French. >> Pretty good. I didn't know we were on prices right rules for the uh for the cost. Okay, >> we shouldn't be prices right rules. I'm so ethically opposed to prices right rules. >> I'm sorry we decided on prices right rules over here. Um but I will give a point for agave nectar because there was honey in there. So we're ready to move to the next item. >> We have a very intuitive scoring system. This is not scientific. >> Looks like we're going to need uh >> Do we just tongue this out? I'm just going to tongue it. >> Let's Could you not phrase it like that? You're supposed I'm going to use a spoon. This might be just the just me trying to be British and classy to me. >> We're positive that this isn't hair gel though cuz this look >> it looks like hair gel. >> It look like during the uh the Mark McGrath era, you know, of Sugar Ray. Like this is the type of gel. >> I'm seeing him in 4 days. >> Oh. Ow. Ow. >> Mark. >> I'm so glad you went first. Would you like some water? Have we Have we got You GOT SOME WATER? >> THAT'S NOT SOAP. >> NO. >> OH, >> I I appreciate the confidence with which you went in there. You've done this before. >> Oh, yeah. No, I'm not I'm not afraid of anything. I've eaten all manners and stuff. That is unnerving. >> I I'm I'm I'm genuinely trying to put this up now, but um bottoms up. Did we eat different things? Are you enjoying that? We might have entirely different palettes. We did a podcast about this once. So, a lot of it has to do with the pH of your spit. I have really basic spit. We test We tested it. That tastes of almost nothing. >> I'm getting a very weird almost grandma's pot pirie. Maybe it was the quantity in which I ate it. And I don't know if >> I'm going to have to take a take the rest of this as >> Are you just fine with that? Fascinating. texturally a little weird. >> Yeah, >> it's it's like a melting gel. >> Something about this texture is so unnerving. >> The flavor is still there. The gel's still there. It's like it has coated >> Mhm. >> the inside of my mouth. >> So, I would assume that there's some kind of It's not going to be plain gelatin because it's one. They're going to do something fancier than that. Maybe it's a collagen or something like that. >> Gelatin, I believe, turns into collagen when it is boiled enough. Right. I think that's why all like if you cook with plain gelatin to me it smells like wet dog. It's an animal product at the end of the day. And then collagen in the smoothies to me just it tastes so bad. Like I can taste the wet dog in the Haley Bieber smoothie. >> Okay. >> Which might make an appearance today. I don't know. I don't even know if they still sell it. >> Taste. >> I thought Haley Bieber was his sister for the longest time. Do you know they're married? >> I I I didn't know that. That's also surprising. I assumed I assumed it was Justin Bieber's sister. Did you? Yeah, >> I think it is their equivalent of those nutrition pouches that you get for um >> like marathon runners who like squeeze the it's called goo. >> Goo. That's exactly what I mean. I think it is their energy gel. >> Maybe it's even got a bit of caffeine in there or something like that. And it is designed to be neutral and just stuff you It's runner's energy gel uh with a fancy name like uh spirit of energy. >> I believe this is a a price. >> Mhm. Oh. Um, tin same thing as this. Tiny tube 10 bucks. >> Tiny tube 10 bucks could be the name of so many products in everyone. I think I think >> Tiny Tube 10 bucks is a gangster from the 1950s and you don't want to know why. >> TINY TUBE 10 BUCKS. >> You don't want to know why it's called Tiny Tube. >> I think this is a one ingredient product. I think this is blue seaoss gel and I think it's just called seaoss gel and I think they sell a quart glass jar of it and if you return the glass jar you get $3. You have to rent the glass jars for $3. And I think it costs $40. That's my guess. And I don't think it has a fancy name. I think it is just seamos gel. The health claims uh general longevity. I'm going to say they use the term longevity a lot. I'm going to go with digestion on this one. It fe just because it's still it's still there. It's just it helps things move smoothly. Yeah, actually. Yes. Helps not necessarily gut health, but like helps helps things move. Paristalsis. It just helps it all keep going. >> All right. Lift that cl. >> Hell yeah. >> Well done. >> It's not a cord though. These are I've seen bigger ones. >> Blue pearl seaoss gel, which of course has Irish seaoss, filtered water, spirulina extract, and pearl powder. >> Pearl. >> Pearl. Hold on. Pearl. Pearl. Like pearl. >> I guess >> like the jewelry. Consume one to three tablespoons once daily by itself or in your favorite recipes. I mean, I could >> make a seamos bolognese. >> If I believed in the power of seamos gel, I could just put this into a recipe and it would >> And are you saying you don't? >> I'm I'm saying I'm very skeptical. >> They say it's good in smoothies and you can use it on your skin. So, not soap, but kind of. And it's marketed to support immunity, gut health, and energy. So, we're giving that to Tom. This jar costs $25. So prices rice rules also goes to Tom. >> Okay. >> Wait, he got it. Damn it. >> I've just been guessing higher. >> I thought it was going to be a court. And I think a court would roughly cost what I said, but that's fine. >> No, what I like is that >> I didn't know you cheaped out and got the 12 oz. >> Well, they're doing prices right rules, but not divided by unit quantity. So, I'm I'm doing great here. I'm doing great. >> I don't like this immediately. >> Looks like it should be on noodles. it. Yeah, that's Oh. Huh. >> Coffee. No, >> it's very sweet. It's very thick and sweet. >> Is this chocolate? >> It almost tastes like artificial chocolate, >> right? >> Extract like a Tootsie Roll, which could be Okay. OG Health Food. >> Uh-huh. >> OG Health Food that was at all these damn stores was called Carob. It was meant to be >> imitation chocolate. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. You've You've got it. I think this is a a a monk fruit sweetened carob syrup meant for your organic goat milk ice cream sundaes that you feed your sugar-free kids that aren't allowed screen time. >> It's that halfway between chocolate and coffee where everyone goes, "Oh, this is chocolate." But what it's stuck in my throat again. It's >> It's called the new chocolate, but new is spelled nu and it's $11.99 and it's a carob syrup. >> I think you're close. I think it is a misspelled chocolate >> in the way that they try and make it look like it's chocolate, but it isn't. I'm going to stick my neck out and say there is some actual chocolate in there and maybe some actual coffee or something. So, it's not just carob syrup >> and health claims. >> Oh, >> better than chocolate. >> Yeah. Yeah. Lower glycemic lowers your glycemic index. >> Ooh, >> I was going to say that. I I'm going to say lower calorie and like just just generally like doesn't have the sugar of um Oh, it doesn't have sugar in it. That's I'm going to put my thing. That's agave syrup or something like it. One of these times it'll be right. Tiny shot of it. 15 bucks. >> All right. Lift that clash. >> This is going to be a weird like medicine or something. >> This is lipos. >> Oh my god. YOU YOU CUT IT. NO WAY. >> Liposal magnesium almond cacao. >> You are so right. Organic glycerin. >> E, that's what gives it that that texture. >> Almond butter, water, avocado oil, >> bizarre. >> Vanilla extract, cocoa, cocoa. You want to say the last one cuz apparently pronounced >> organic cacao powder. So, it is Oh, but >> and organic chocolate extract. >> But there is artificial chocolate extract in there, which is bizarre. Well, >> well, no. Oh, organic chocolate extract. >> Oh, organic. But yeah. Yeah, but it's it's like >> not artificial, but it's it's chocolate. But that's what gives it that weird kind of like chocolate flavored candy. That nec wafer, that Tootsie Roll flavored. >> Squeeze entire contents of pouch directly into mouth. It's what I thought this was. >> That was this stuff. The stuff that clags in the back. You You're meant to just empty this. >> The claims here are for it being a daily supplement to support muscle function, promote nervous system relaxation, and aid in stress reduction. And a box of 30 packs of this. $65. Just Just >> there. This is only two bucks a pack. It This is two bucks. That's real. We can't afford not to. We can't afford not to. >> Just take a multivitamin. >> I like the way this looks. >> This just looks like really nice cake. >> They have really nice cakes. They all cost like $15. >> At the risk of getting caught out that this suddenly has spice in it or something. I'm just going to just going to go for it. >> How's it? >> That's so sweet. >> And so nutty. There's >> dense. >> Is that peanut butter or is that another nut? I think this is a raw vegan product. >> If this is vegan, this is the best like vegan blondie cake I've ever had. >> They make genuinely like really good products. I got a I got a buddy that has like a $12 brownies that are in Arowan and he just uses the best product in the world to make brownies. Shout out to Lex Bakes. >> That's like eating peanut butter with some other sort of stuff mixed in. And I think on the top, I'm going to guess dehydrated raspberries on top. I think there's some sort of maybe like apricot goo or something underneath that. There's some sort of like orange goo. >> I'm going to say this is the raw vegan almond blondie ra raspberry almond raw vegan almond raspberry blondie bars. I think for a tiny square it costs $9. And I think that their their health claim is just like the classic raw vegan like more nutrient like just more nutrients dude. >> I think it's going to have an indulgent name. I think this is everyone going full the other way. This is they are implying that you get this all the flavor and everything like that >> like crack squares or something you know horrifying names. >> It's it's going to be an indulgent name. It's uh not going to be marked on health claims at all. This is just them saying other than like no sugar. I that's probably sugar free, wheat free, everything free. >> And the fact that it tastes that good is a testament to how well they do. >> I think I think that little bite probably worked out about three bucks. I think it's probably a pack of four. Pack of four. >> I think for a pack of four of those, it's going to work out about 10 bucks. I think it's about It's about 250, three bucks a square. >> Okay. I think they're called Bliss Cubes. Don't Don't steal my >> Don't steal my idea there. Well, actually, that's really good marketing. You're better than >> live that again. Episode of Star Trek. >> Vegan peanut butter. Oh, IT'S A PEANUT BUTTER JELLY BAR. >> Of course it is. >> What is it called though? Just Oh, just gazelle's. She wants her name on there. >> I'm sorry. Immunity. Immunity from what? This ain't survivor. >> Diplomatic immunity is what this gives you. >> There's There's an asterisk next to each of these claims. immunity balance. >> Did you guys Did these make it across the pond? There were bracelets that you put on. >> Oh, the magnetic thing. >> Yeah. That you couldn't tip over if you had the bracelet on. It'd be the best infomercial where they would show a big guy tipping a small guy over and then he would put on a bracelet and the big guy couldn't tip the small guy over >> because the guy stood in a slightly different position and decided not to fall over. This time, it's not done. I had the bracelet. It's a stress relief. It's a How could you be stressed out? Do you eat a lovely? >> That's the point. And and focus um glutenree, refined refined sugar free. That's a So you've just put brown sugar in there instead of white. >> Uh soy and cornfree, which actually in America is really difficult. Cornfree in America is really really difficult. >> Yeah. And as for ingredients, they have pea protein, peanut butter, oat flour, organic coconut butter, organic strawberry puree, organic maple syrup, and those were organic dried strawberries on top. So, we're giving you the point there. >> Strawberries and made >> Wait, what's the brown goo? I >> I think that is just a a a goo they've made with protein and almonds. >> Just a protein almond goo. >> I think it's just a protein. >> It's nice. It tastes like peanut butter. >> It tastes good. Tastes good. >> This square of the raw vegan peanut butter and jelly bar is $11.99. >> $12 for that. >> You can go to Chili's and get a steak for 12 bucks, you know. We have Josh with six points and Tom with nine points. You guys ready? That feels unfair. >> I don't know, man. I think I think you're killing it right now. I'm just happy that I get to take this $12 thing home. >> More cake. >> We have more cake. >> We have more cake. >> Come on. What a life we got to live. People just feed us cake as they gawk at us. >> Looks like macadamia nuts. >> I think it's a wall. I think it's a wall. A wall. >> You think? Okay. >> It's got the brain structure of a wall. >> Oh, it does. It does. Uh-oh. Okay. Walnut brownie. >> Mhm. >> Why? What's the note under that that we're both It's incredibly sweet. Even for a brownie. >> Yeah. >> That's really really >> I think you're just acclimating to American palette. >> Yeah. What do you got? >> I think this is just a delightful dark chocolate walnut brownie. If there's anything that's in there that is untoward, it might be like a rayi mushroom thing. M >> cuz that that's been a big thing. The adaptogenic mushrooms. There's another seed in there. Maybe that's a fracture of a walnut. >> They've blended something up in there. Couldn't tell you what it is. >> I think this is just a delicious, but I think it's like all organic. I think that's the thing. I think it's going to be like all organic, fair trade. Uh like the the people at the the chocolate the cacao farms are making more than In-N-Out employees, you know. And I think it has a Tom's model. I think you Tom's the shoes. Did you get any royalties off that? where you buy a pair of Tom's shoes and they donate a pair to like somebody. >> I've never heard of Tom's shoes. >> Have you never heard of Tom shoes? Tom's shoes. >> Oh my god. This cultural exchange is incredible. >> You guys all know Tom's, right? If I said a Tom's model of business, you know what I'm talking about. A one for one. That's so funny. I think they're doing that. They're You buy a brownie and they're donating a brownie to a hungry child in need. And I think it is all organic, all Valona. And I don't think this is Lexington Bakes. I I'm going to say it is. I'm I'm going to say this is my guy Lex cuz he had brownies in Whole Foods that were really good. >> All right, I'm going to be suspicious. I think they're doing hidden vegetables equivalent. There is some kind of paste goo powder >> fruit or something >> mixed into that and they're doing a ridiculous health claim that you can eat this brownie and it will help your >> pick a part of the body. It'll help hair and nail growth. >> There's like some keratin helping thing in there. >> That's not a bad guess. That's not a bad guess. A proper size brownie of that is seven bucks. >> Yeah, I'm gonna say it's nine bucks. >> And names? >> I'm gonna say Lexington Bakes. I think this is organic dark chocolate walnut brownie. >> Um, they've got some sort of a pun in there that I can't work out about how it helps whatever bit of the body. It's It's a body brownie or something like that. Don't like that name, but I I continue to be bad at naming things. >> Lift that clash. >> Coconut. >> Oh, it's coconut sugar. And this is Is this just Oh, IT IS CHOCOLATE. GOD DAMN IT. IT'S IT'S GODDAMN MUSHROOMS. >> THIS IS A rayi chaga brownie. Yes, you got the coconut sugar, the organic items, almond flour, organic walnuts, tapioca flour. And they're saying that this is a function >> nervous system regulation. It's nervous system regulation and stress relief. >> Exactly. Adapted genetic mushrooms baked inside which are promoted for boosting immunity, supporting skin health, hair, >> and stabilizing. >> I knew there was something in that. >> You keep backing your way into points. I was >> Thanks. >> the price. >> Oh, >> 550. >> That's only We were both over. >> It's so funny that they that Annie says 550 now and I'm like, "Oh, that's so cheap." >> So, we gave it to Josh for the ingredients, Tom for the health claims, and name and price. Sorry, not close enough. No points there. >> Let's go to the next one. >> Oh, I think this this looks like it's coming from an animal. Cheers. >> Well, it does. Hold just before you take it. There's It's leaving a film around here. >> It reeks of animal. >> So this is this is dairy surely. >> Oh >> That is thick. >> That's cream. >> Is it cream or is it just separated? >> No, that's that's definitely cream. >> That's straight cream. >> Well, it could be this is raw milk or something close. I I'm not sure it's raw milk. It might be fancy, extremely well-fed cattle. It's um the British term would be Jersey milk >> because it's made usually on the island of Jersey. >> Yeah. With Jersey cows. >> With Jersey cows. >> And it's very very high fat content, which is why it's it's leaving that round. If this is an imitation, if this is like imitation dairy made with plants, >> I don't think it is. I think I think >> it is. That's the best imitation dairy I've ever had. >> I think this is dairy. And I I think it's cow. I don't think this is coming. They used to sell camel milk there and camel and we we bought it once and it is delicious. >> Okay, I'm going to stick with with my first guess which that this is just very fancy. Maybe not raw. I don't think despite all the claims, I don't think would be brave enough to sell raw milk because the liability issues there are way too high. I think this is this is them trying to get some of that raw milk audience without actually selling something that's unsafe. Well, so there's another there's another milk that they're calling A2 milk >> has something to do >> they remove the A2 protein which someone have a reaction to. >> Um I think this is A2 half and half organic A2 half and half and I think this is a court for $11.99 and I think the health claims it makes Ooh, if you want to look into some fun health claims, the founder of A2 Dairy has made some wild health claims that I don't want to repeat here. >> Do you know about that? Uh, I would not want to repeat those health packages. >> Improves gut health because it doesn't have the lactose in it. >> I think this is as unprocessed as you can get before it's raw milk. >> And I think I think that's actually cream. I think they're going to sell that as cream or something close to it. >> It might even be Jersey cows. >> That'd be cool if it was. And I think it's going to be maybe like a a pint bottle for about seven or eight bucks. >> All right, lift that claw. >> It's raw. Let's go. They're selling RAW MILK. >> I BACKED OUT on that. >> It is. So, it's whole milk. It's unhomogenized, >> which means we did get the cream off the top. Yes. >> May help with digestive health. I said digestive health on so many things and didn't say it on this one. >> Yeah, Josh got the point on that one. On the website, they also say that the unpasteurized state ensures that all essential nutrients are intact. >> Like what can you name them? >> They didn't name them. >> Name the nutrients that we aren't getting that this leaves intact. >> Warning, raw milk and dairy products may contain disease-causing microorganisms. >> Listen, man. I've eaten oysters from a shopping cart. I ate chicken sashimi in South LA. Like, I >> Wow. Okay. >> I'm out here. I'm out here living. >> And the price was only $12.99. That's >> $12.99. >> IT'S REASONABLE >> FOR MILK THEY had to process less than regular milk. >> Oh, what is that? That's >> Oh What? That is something. >> Not a ton of flavor in there. >> It's got an upsetting color. >> This is like you've squeezed a really unimpressive fruit or vegetable. >> There's a there's a silt. There's a silt bottom. >> You got to drum up the silt. >> Oh, wow. That's a lot of Oh, that's changed the color. >> I'd say that's too much silt. >> That's too much silt. >> Okay. So, once you've stirred in the silt, >> I just taste silty. >> I think this is one of those shots that you get for like immunity, like the little ones that normally have ginger and turmeric and a load of other things that make you go. They've just squeezed a really unimpressive vegetable. Like this is turnip juice or rutagga juice. >> I'm smelling sesame. >> Oh. >> And I don't know if that's true. >> That's the Yes. >> Is it sesame? >> Yes, it is. That's >> But there's almost no taste to it. There's no salt. There's no sugar. There's a Korean powder that is made of seven uh uh uh molted grains that are blended up. They use it on a candy called ini. And there was a freaking Korean coffee shop near me back in Korea Town where I lived called Cafe Benet that made a latte with this grain powder. And I can't remember what the grain powder is called, but they use it's a Korean 7 grain powder. And I'm guessing it's that. There's no way I'm right on this. There's no way I'm right. >> Okay, here's the thing. I'm going to take a wild shot in the dark here that this is some sort of liquid hummus and that it's just sesame extract and a couple tahini and a couple other things, toasted sesame, everything like that. Maybe it's actually been watered down by the crew just to mess with us and that's why there's >> Well, it might be a powder that you have to mix with water. >> Yeah, it might just be sesame powder. >> I might be tasting Korean toasted barley tea. There's something so >> that's what it is. >> I I I know it from Japan, not Korea. But you're Yes. This is the You go to a restaurant, they give you this mysterious drink. It's just It's barley tea. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Oh, no. You're getting all the points on this. I I had nothing. I cannot place it as soon as you said sesame. Yeah. >> Uhhuh. I'm going to say this is a brand owned by a white person that's called like funky Korean powder, funky K-pop powder. Uh >> oh. Then I'm going to take I'm going to take the ultimate of that, which is that this is genuinely just an imported product that they're selling. >> Yeah. >> Uh claims I'm not going to say there's a health claim other than like it's it's better for you. It's organic. It's it's fancy. >> I think this is regulating your body temperature. I think that's what it is. I have I feel like a lot of other cultures outside of like white waspy American culture are really all about regulating body temperature >> and price. >> 4 oz box of powder 20 bucks. >> Uh 8 oz box of powder $24. >> Let's find out. >> Satcha Satcha in protein. >> Protein. There's protein in there. >> Is a large edible seed grown in certain parts of South America. >> What? Huh? Open it. Such a inchi is one thing. >> So I was right that the the crew have taken the powder and diluted. >> Yeah, it's a plant. >> It's a plant, >> but it's not a blend. That that doesn't smell like that. >> It's a weird thing to say that powder doesn't have any sesame notes or toasted notes or barley notes when you sniff it, but somehow when it's when it's turned into a liquid, it does. >> Wait, did I didn't I literally use the term funky like funky K-pop powder? Check this out. Imlakesh is guided by a team of funky inspired superfood revolutionary points. 100% your point. >> Since we're getting no points from the actual foods, I want a point for funky cuz that's insane. >> I'd never have guessed that. >> Oh, they're striving to promote a lifestyle of gratitude, positive intention, and fun. >> I love that. I love I love all those things. >> That smells like hummus and garlic. >> Yeah, we'll give you We'll give you the point for funky on the name. We'll give Josh a point for Sesame. And then for health claims, they say it's centered on being a completely plant-based protein containing all nine essential amino acids. Some research suggests that Satcha Inchi could support healthy cholesterol levels and improve digestion. >> Okay. >> Nothing about body temp. >> That's tough. That's tough. I think it's good. I'm going to I'm going to use this. I'm going to put it in my protein shakes. >> And the price $29.99. >> That's I think that's better. Little rocks. >> Oh, strong spice smell. >> I know what this is. >> Oh, I know what it is. >> You You don't look happy about it. >> No, I like it. They're good. You just eat them like little snacks. It's like nerds. >> Didn't they expect that to be sweet? >> That's like eating dust. Is it very Does it remind you of any specific flavor of a food you've had? >> I find that really unpleasant. I can't place it. You're going to have to get the point on this one. So, this is this is bee pollen. This is unrefined bee pollen. I'm 99% sure because there >> explains why it was like sweetener. >> Yeah. Yeah. Because I think that's just the bee the spit of the bee or whatever. >> But I can't even place any other guess on that. I'm just going to assume that that Josh is right on that and that it helps. >> It's always digestion. It's going to be digestion. >> I have no idea what they claim it does. Yeah. I uh I'll say energy. I like longlasting energy. >> 4 oz. 20 bucks. >> I've never even bought it. I don't know how much they can sell it at. I'm going to say this is one in one of those weird five pound unmarked bags in the back of the store and I think it's $80. It's called Mark's bee pollen and it's just an old guy named Mark that has a fleet of bees that he started after his divorce to give himself purpose. I'm going to say it's going to have a fancy name then that it's going to be some uh organics company that makes sure the bees only go to this particular little bit of wild flowers and they're they're really it's premium >> bee like happy hive hive queen zone be pollen >> both the bees and the pollen are premium >> okay take a look >> beekeepers naturals okay well the beekeeper could be called mark >> nourish and support >> yeah it's marketed as nutrientdense superfood with health claims including immune support, allergy relief, and get this, Josh, enhanced energy. >> Nice. >> What if I told you the point of all these foods is energy? That's kind of why we do food. >> Not for individuals with allergies to pollen or bee products. >> You think? >> I think this is kind of nice. It tastes like dirt for sure, but I like it. >> And for that dirt taste, you can get this container for $32.99. >> 30? Okay. Right. Fine. I know honey's expensive. >> This is a lot. proper honey that isn't like adulterated or mixed down is is expensive. >> The score is Josh 15, Tom 13. Going into our third and final round, let's see. >> I don't like the look of any of these. >> This is the nightmare round. >> This is the nightmare round. >> They have the spiderw webs. They have the gray goo. >> They have You want to put a name to these two? Cuz I don't want to put a name to THESE TWO. >> THEY GOT PISSING. OKAY. You do want to put a name to these two. >> Oh, I had a guess until I touched it. This is food. This is like prepared as it >> just like this is how you're supposed to do it. >> It feels like some sort of transparent rice noodle. >> It is hard. My initial guess was shirataki noodles, which are I couldn't even tell you what the starch made out of is, but they're pure insoluble fiber, so there's like zero calories, >> but this this has some squish. This is actually softer than I thought it was going to be. >> Huh. >> It's almost flavorless. It's a This feels like a replacement for spaghetti. This feels like a a pasta replacement. I'm going to guess this is zero calories and pure insoluble fiber. >> Oh, wa. But this is I mean this feels industrial. This is tremendous. >> It's crunchy but stringy. Like this feels like a rubber band in the hand. Like I I'm pretty sure if you strung a guitar I'm pretty sure you can make a musical instrument out of this. >> Like if you do you do you do you just want to twang that? >> Okay. I'm get real close to the microphone here. Oh, you you actually it's actually >> that's actually Yeah, that's actually making a sound. I hope the audio editors can figure that out. That is a twangy string that is also somehow crunchy. >> It's kind of It's kind of better than I thought it would be. It's not unpleasant. Like I I just mindlessly eat these. >> I'm going to guess they've made an improvement on shiritaki noodles. And I think these are called miracle noodles. I think it's pure insoluble fiber. I think it is zero calories. And I think that's their health claim. I think it cost eight bucks for a single serving. >> I think this is not a chemical thing, but they have taken an existing starch of some sort. I'm going to say potato starch or something like that and they have done some quote unquote organic actually chemical process to just remove all the carbohydrates from it. >> And this is just like what's left is is protein and goo. And it's it's it's not quite zero, but it's it's close to that. I think it's a regular starch that's been treated. I think it's uh digestion and lower calories. And I'm going to say it's really expensive because this looks like there something you could charge a lot of money for. I'm not saying it costs a lot for them. I'm saying it feels like something you could charge a lot for and enough to feed two people like a single packet. I think it's be like 10 15 bucks. It It's going to be like um >> mountain yam starch. That was >> Yeah, it's going to be which it's going to be whichever whichever starch it is that they've treated. >> All right, take a look. Kelp. >> It's kelp. It's kelp. >> How' they do that to kelp? >> Gluten-free, fat free, mineral rich. It's more seaweed. It's more seaweed. >> Sodium algayenate. It's the good that's holding it all together. And it is six calories for half a cup of this stuff. >> Cuz >> how much of this is kelp and how much of this is sodium al? >> I think there's very little kelp in this. >> Kelp is kelp is green, dude. >> So, the ingredients in order are water. >> Uhhuh. then kelp, then sodium algenate. You don't need much sodium algayenate to make that stuff. >> No. >> So, I think there's very very little kelp in here. The reason it's so low in calories is you're just eating water. That's >> crunchy water. That's the um what they were calling them raindrop cakes in Japan. You ever see those? >> Yes. >> I think it was maybe like aar agar or or keragene. >> I used to know someone who made uh jello shots or jello- like things with with agar >> because you can make them really alcoholic if you do that. You can really turn up the ABV of those things. >> I ruined a whole party by doing agar jello shots. I tried to make artisal jello shots and I made a hundred of them. It was like it was like, you know, like salted green mango chili and mine had a full ounce and a half of meascal in each. >> And and this is a crazy. It was New Year's. We run out of alcohol at the party and all that's left is me with like 64 disgusting savory jello shot. >> Aaron has a a taste to it. >> Oh yeah. And everyone I had like a strawberry Thai basil. >> I was I thought I was going to be the hero. >> So they did market these as low calorie and naturally high in vitamin K and calcium. The algenate in kelp can also help the body reduce heavy metal loads. Huh? >> I don't know what that means. >> There is a lot of detox stuff that is mostly woo. Um, but they claim that heavy metals can build up in your body and your body won't clear them. If you have been spending a lot of time around like super fund sites and other like disused chemical processing plants, >> I have >> and you're going to the doctor for it then maybe. But there are better ways to do that sort of thing than eat kelp. >> And the price for this guy $4.99 >> reasonable. I mean, dollar for calorie, very very high, but >> but I think it's a pretty good product. I think they did a good job on that. >> So, I gave each of you guys a points for having noodles in the title and each a point for clocking the low calorie, zerocalorie. >> That feels generous. That feels generous. >> I'll say she's a generous god. >> We got to move on to this right here. >> Oh, >> I'm guessing this is coming from their smoothie bar. I like it. What are you tasting >> the main flavor? I can't get I guess >> so much of the flavor is is obfuscated by the random powders. >> It's probably an apple juice base. It's so it's going to be juice, ice, spirulina, I think I'm going to go with for the color. I >> I agree with that. Yeah, cuz there there's so few naturally blue foods. Even something like blueberry, you're getting that palette for the the color palette from Anthemy, which is purple ultimately. >> Um there's definitely a litany of powders. One of those spirina >> I think the way they do their smoothies is they lead with the claim >> cuz their list of smoothies they're they almost have no food words in them. Like literally it'll just be like like the the blue euphoria or something. I'm saying this is a liver detoxifying smoothie that has blue spirulina in it and charcoal powder. >> Charcoal powder. >> So you get the heavy metals out. >> I'm going to ask you a question. What's the weirdest thing that everyone will put in a smoothie? Because this crew having picked one smoothie will have picked the weirdest thing that they could. >> There's a new Korean skin care trend. >> The salmon facials. >> Oh, >> when he started pointing Yeah. Oh, you're doing the salmon facials. >> What part of the salmon is it? >> Salmon. >> It's a salmon semen. Salmon semen facials are a big thing right now. >> Do we Do they eat it, too? >> I don't know. >> I've eaten codperm before. It's delightful. Have you had cods for him? I >> I have not. >> It's nice. >> Okay. >> Call it Shiraco. It's nice. >> I'm not going to go that far. >> I got a Shirakco guy in LA. It's good. >> He's right next to my favorite heavy metal venue in Skid Row. It's incredible. This feels like an adlib. This is just true. I love I love LA so much. >> At some point, I'll be able to get a sense of >> I really love LA. Sorry. Go ahead. >> No. Every time I try, you just It's It's the equivalent of being verbally just punched in the stomach several times with increasingly weird food words. The metal venue is owned by a goblin. Go ahead. His name's John. >> I'll show you a picture of it. I'll bring up a picture. >> Is he telling the truth? I'm No. No. He's getting the picture. He's getting the picture. Okay. Only guess I've had on ingredients is spirulina because I cannot place the flavor. I'm going to lock that one in. And I think that's going to be the marketing of it. It is just all the spirulina and all the the stuff. It it's got microbes in it. It's got actual bacterial stuff in there that is not from yogurt. I'm gonna go with the old reliable gut health whole smoothie. You know what? I think you went and bought the most expensive one. I think this is a $20 smoothie. >> Oh, that's a goblin. >> That's John. >> That's That's Yeah, that's a goblin. >> He owns the venue. What do you say? >> Um and Tom name >> um the gray bastard. That's the old improv thing. He can't think of anything funny. Just say a just say a mild swear word and Yeah. Yeah. >> Josh, did you say a price? >> Uh, I think I think they're all like 19 bucks. Like 19. >> All right, you can live without clash. >> I mean, it's going to be it's going to be This is not going to help. It's going to be a smoothie container. Gray goo would have been the obvious name for it. >> The Gray Bastard sounds like their their flagship like first London store, you know? Like it's like >> it's actually it's actually the nickname for Prince Andrew. >> Oh god. >> Okay. The ingredients here are organic watermelon juice, organic coconut water, lime, organic strawberry, pineapple, blue spirulina. >> Yeah. >> Vanilla collagen, creatine, magnesium, and sea salt. >> What's it so gray? Cuz >> spirulina spirulina is just just makes it that gray. >> Well, yeah, it's it's brown with all those ingredients. There's not a there's not a strong color out of all those ingredients. Well, the the gray does come into play because this is a sponsored collab with, you guessed it, Liquid Steel by Simple Human. Yes, that is a trash can design company. >> Simple Human make like stuff for your kitchen that is not appliances. They make very expensive, you know, the bins that automatically open up. >> That's that's what they make. They >> they have like I think they have soap dispensers now. >> That's No, that makes sense cuz they're really high-end and expensive. So, everyone is a natural match for them. >> What the hell? >> So, I'm going to have to give it to the gray bastard cuz gray and steel. >> Could you not phrase it like that? That's not my nickname. That's not I know. I know there's nothing left with color up here, but that's that's not my nickname. >> I don't. >> But you overshot the price. This is only $12. >> No way. Oh, what does it come with? You got you got to buy like a $400 Simple Human, you know, handwashing dispenser to go with it. All right. They do say that it's designed for hydration and daily performance. And the active health claims are centered around muscle function, everyday wellness, and post-workout recovery. >> Did we even talk about health benefits? So, we just >> No, I I think I said liver detox, which liquid steel sounds like it's going to draw the steel out of your liver. >> We got to try that. >> We got to >> I'm already know this. This is Ram's piss. Uh, this is it's pure hydration and libido. >> Having made all those jokes, that smells really good, >> dude. What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? It's so bitter. >> It's not that we really have like a big sip. That's not bitter to you. It's got a tremendous lingering bitterness. Like a radikia. >> It's mildly bitter. Feels like a tea that is made with a plant. I don't know. It will be some kind of gluten-free, everything free plant that is marketed as a generic. >> Someone's got to taste it. Jake. >> Jake. Jake. Jake. >> Jake. Do you want to >> tell me if this is bitter? Take like take like a solid like teaspoon. >> It doesn't smell like anything. >> It smells real good. >> Uh, yeah. >> Yeah. Right. That hits you immediately. >> It's like medicine. They're giggling far too much over that. >> I've only experienced that level of bitterness in a few products on Earth. That would be radikio, that would be Asian bitter melon, and that would be beef bile. >> Those are the only three things. It's called papaya and it's a Filipino ingredient. Like taste is like a a poison detection system effectively. That gives a natural disgust to my body in terms of bitterness. That signifies that I like from a primordial level that I should not be consuming it. >> Wow. Yeah. Is that mate? >> I love I love mate. >> I don't think it's club mate. It's not sweet enough. But I think that might be mate extract. It is It is some extract of some plant that I can't name but but is in that genre. >> Yeah. >> I I quite like it. >> Really? >> Yeah. Uh yeah. I'm I'm going with mate. I'm going with um I think that might have some natural caffeine in it. So I think it might be energy boost as a as like helps you get through the day. Did that come like that or has it been turned into water by the crew or is that >> been a little diluted? >> Been a little diluted. Knowing that I'm going to go with mate extract, something like that helps you get through the day. Bottle of the extract is 15 bucks. >> I think I think this is coming from there's a center aisle in Arowans that are all the like the more the medicines than the foods >> and I think this is coming from there. I'm going to say something insane like wormwood extract or wormwood tonic because I think that's the thing in meort that makes you want to die and uh I'm saying yeah it uh makes you I don't know it makes all your hair fall out of your uh body and uh >> makes all your hair fall out >> fall out. Yeah, it's like nare it's like the old product nare you just drink it your body it scares the hairs out of your body. scares the hairs. >> Scares the hairs. >> It cost $150. >> Like four people watching this know the exact series of logical jumps my brain made there and have gone, "Oh, that's like a terrible British game show." I'm not going to explain that reference at all. It would take too long. You're clutch. >> Oh, of course it comes in there. Parasite just says parasite by Bon Juno. Parasite collaboration that you didn't know you needed. >> Parasite herbal supplement. >> There's a literal parasite going around right now, too. >> You've heard of that? The diarrhea parasite. Yeah. Yeah. >> Don't worry. This doesn't give you a parasite. It claims to give the body a full detox of parasites. Ah, do we How many parasites do we have? >> You're going to find out. >> I'm not looking. I'm just flushing. I'm just flushing. >> Could you read these ingredients off the list? Cuz there's >> Yeah, it is ethically wild harvested quasia wood. Ethically wild harvested fresh black walnut holes. Fresh >> walnut holes. >> Just holes. >> They're just They're JUST TAKING THE WASTE PRODUCTS FROM THE BROWNIE. >> IT'S LIKE DONUT HOLES. They just needed something to do with the >> expert holes. H U L. >> Then they got organic Garyia leaf. Clove bud, berry root bark, >> you know. >> Yeah. And >> is there any like gentine or quinine in there? >> There's grain alcohol as the base. >> Deiionized water. >> Funny. >> It's it's it's a base of grain alcohol and extremely pure water, which makes sense. And then they just extract some herbs into it. >> Yeah. Pretty much all liquors, right? Were like >> I'm going to regret this, >> dude. Hell yeah. Oh, let me ride the lightning. >> Honestly, that's fine. >> It's worse if you >> That's fine. That's absolutely nothing. >> Throw me a Gollum, dude. >> I'm going to give Josh a half point for making all your hair fall out of your body. Just making all the parasites fall out of your body. They just look a little different. THEY'RE COMING FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE. >> IT WAS LITERALLY the same logic though. If it's so costic, life couldn't subside. >> But the price for that little bottle is $24.99. So that point goes to Tom. >> Oh god, you're already Oh, I'm not going to >> I don't know. >> Hang on. Give that a sniff first. >> Oddly, it >> doesn't smell like food. >> Oddly soapike. I trust the team here not to have put something inedible in here, >> but that has the kind of floral notes I would expect from soap. Oh, that's way more solid than I expected. >> It's sweet. >> Oh, it's very sweet. >> I have an inkling. I have an inkling. >> You're the chef. Like you're you're the one with the knowledge here. My first guess is that this is like pure or almost pure like mixed with something coconut sugar or some other plant sugar that is um that's not They're all plant sugars. It's not the bad sugar. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> It's some other fancy one that everyone can sell as being nicer. Cassava sugar. >> Is that a thing? They're making sugar out of cassava. >> I'm just naming. I'm trying to think of anything that is that's connecting to in my head. >> Yeah. Um that's incredibly >> You also got to think like if we're playing the production game, this is this is the finale, right? This was a jarring, >> you know what I mean? These all have their fun little finale mixing the bitter and the sweet. >> Yeah. >> You're never going to die after this. That's actually really nice. >> You got trash can liquid. You got all the algenate. >> I think this has a shock value for price. >> I think this is going to be like a $70 jar of I'm guessing this is spun manuka honey. >> I think this is manuka. Do you know manuka? >> Yes, I do. You've nailed it. >> I think so. I don't know. I don't >> Yes. I don't want to be wrong on this one. I If you have any other guesses. >> No, I was going with with pure sugar paste. I mean, I guess that's what it is. >> Yeah. Yeah, but I was assuming processed through through a factory. >> You're right. That that is that was the floral note. I was like, this feels like soap or something floral. That's manuka honey. >> Could be condensed penguin milk. >> We have not yet gotten into the penguin milk business, but penguins make milk. >> What? >> Well, they call it crop milk. And so they >> No, that's that. Yeah, that's >> But it's it's like what do you think milk? It's like depends what you view the word. >> That's not milk. That's that's digestive juices. >> Well, it's like almond milk. The term milk just means to rub or express and it's you know a liquid. they make internally to feed their young. I'm calling penguin milk. Unless this is condensed penguin milk. I think this is manuka honey. >> I'm going to stick with my guess because but I know my guess is wrong. I know Josh is right here. I'm going to say that the magical sugar compressed paste is like there's a there's a 100 g jar and it's maybe 15 bucks. But like as soon as you said manuka honey of course is it's floral, it's sweet, it's yeah, you got it. >> Manuka honey like it's and I think manuka honey is all the things I was talking about the miracles of honey earlier being super antimicrobial. I think Manuka just takes that up a notch in whatever way. I'm not exactly sure. >> Crazy expensive. >> Always crazy expensive. And it doesn't taste good. I've like tried to cook with it. We randomly had a jar. >> It smells like soap. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Health claim. It's >> immune immune. >> Oh, it's immune. >> Yeah. Um that's going to be immune. It's going to be allergens specifically. Never mind that the allergens where that honey was produced are not the allergens where you're eating it. It's going to be it's going to be helping specifically allergic reactions and things like that and damping those down. Arowan specifically blew up in the 2020 2021. I'm saying they say this honey cures co what we just drank raw milk. I think this is the co curing honey. >> And how much does it cost? >> Uh I think they found the ivormectin price and I think they dropped it by $1. So I'm going to say $74.99. >> I'm going to go specifically this is New Zealand Manuka honey. I'm going to I'm going to put that in. That's that's the label on it. New Zealand manuka honey. >> Great. Let's see. Yeah, you got it. Is it Does it say Manuka? I think >> this is creamed raw prairie honey. As for the health claims, it doesn't mention curing COVID, but it does say like all raw honeys often touted for its potential to support gut health, immunity, and provide antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. >> Anti-inflammatory. I'll >> I'll take that. >> This was a close game all in all. I was a little willy-nilly with the points, but Josh really crushed that honey round. So, our final scores are 20 points for Tom and 22 and a half points for Josh. >> Justified. Absolutely justified. >> But maybe but maybe you can share this prize because Josh, you have won for >> hyper oxygenated water. >> Congratulations. >> Thank you so much, Ash. Thank you. This is No, this goes to Ty and Tom. If you want to chug this right now like an F1 driver. Nano Pureane Hyper Oxy. How much? >> $25.99. >> Return that Return that. Guys, we could have we could have made a half a fancy fast food episode with that. >> Wait, how much was the honey? >> Oh, yeah. The honey was $32.99. >> Oh, that's cheap. Manuka honey be like $100. Tom, we got to Come on. We got to try. We got to take shots to celebrate. We got to take Guys, everyone, we're taking shots of hyper oxygenated water >> to mimic the rhythms of nature.
