Remember the time we ate dozens of Cinnamon Toast Crunch snacks? I do. Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Special Holiday episode. Ha, ha! It’s time to revisit the miracle that is CTC. Ah, yes, the Canadian Tire Corporation. Speak on it, brother. No. Oh, crabs twerking coily? Dish clean. Intriguing, but no. Okay, then that’s gotta be, uh, Conway Twitty Crumbs. I mean, Conway Twitty Crumbs. Close enough. It’s Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I said it in the teaser. Oh, yes. Oh, you did, yes. If only I’d been listening. All of the flavor of cinnamon toast condensed into the perfect bite of cereal. So perfect that Rhett gave it a perfect 100. Spoiler alert. A choice that I stand by. Uh huh, but in this particular episode, we’re about to rewatch one of my personal favorites. Thank you. We were not looking for the best CTC snack. No. We were on the hunt for the worst. This is the only time that we did, we changed gut check to be butt check. You’ll see what I mean. But this is from January 19th, 2022. This is, we tried every Cinnamon Toast Crunch snack. Has Cinnamon Toast Crunch crossed the line? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. If you love Cinnamon Toast Crunch, then this episode is for you. And if you do not love Cinnamon Toast Crunch, this episode is also for you, because Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or CTC for short, has lent its name and flavor to all kinds of products that are not Cinnamon Toast Crunch. CTC, yes. But, how do all those products measure up to the exemplary taste of a good old fashioned bowl of CTC? They don’t. We believe that a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch is so perfect that no other CTC product can measure up to it. With potentially one exception that I have discussed in the past. Uh, but just to be sure, we’re trying them all today, right now. And if this challenge sounds familiar to you, you are sorely mistaken! This is no gut check! We’re trying every CTC product to see which one is the worst! That’s right. It’s time for Butt Check, Cinnamon Toast Crunch Edition. Oh gosh, I hate this. Okay, this is the exact inverse of a gut check. What’d you think a butt check was gonna be? In a gut check, we try every flavor of a certain product and decide which is best. But in a butt check, we try every product of a certain flavor and decide which is worst. So, we’re about to taste all the Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavored products, and there’s 24 of them. We’re gonna rank each one on a scale of 1 to 100 based on our initial butt reactions, okay? And not only am I totally discombobulated over here, They’re not giving me a scoring chard to, chard. Chard. Give him a chard! Give me some swish chard. He needs a chard. Uh, a scoring aid to help. It’s weird to hear you out of my right ear. It’s like I’ve never, I’ve never listened to you in my right ear. Uh, I don’t know. Is this Link? Oh. Without the chard, I’m hoping that my butt instinct is a lot better in scoring than my gut instinct. Okay, probably won’t be. Our scores are gonna be added together to give us the four lowest ranking CTC products, and then we’re gonna taste the bottom four. Once more to determine which one will be named the bottom of the CTC barrel. And before we begin, we’re gonna try some original Cinnamon Toast Crunch just to, you know, establish a baseline score. And I think, when I’m over here, this is kinda my thing, right? It’s kinda, no, it’s kinda my thing, but just from over here. Oh, is that how it works? It’s my thing no matter where I go. I’ll remember this. I was hoping it could be my thing since I was over here. It, my location has nothing to do with it being my thing. I thought it might be a geo, a geo sensitive thing. Of course when we did our cereal tournament, um, this won hands down. It’s absolutely amazing. This is an easy 100. I don’t think anything’s ever gotten a 100. I gotta get another bite of that. Yeah, me too, me too. Mm. Okay. Mm. The bar’s been set. Woo! Let’s do this. Gentlemen, should all of these sweet cinnamon products be too cloying, you have a fizzy palate cleanser ready for you. Yes, your beloved Topo Chico. The first category. I can’t even look to the right in a way that feels normal. Oh, boy. The first category is Cereal. That’s the first category. Featuring an array of flavorful Cinnamon Toast Crunch spin offs. And, are you ready? Oh yeah. We’re going to begin with French Toast Crunch. French Toast Crunch. Oh man. It tastes like a French Toast. That is really good. 86. Um. Hmm. I really like that. 80. Chocolate Toast Crunch. Oh, the same with chocolate. Wowzer. The chocolate’s too strong, made it different. Tastes like a Tootsie Roll. 89. 54. Apple Pie, toast Crunch. Oh, this is a whole line. Yeah. 33 Better than chocolate 65. Dolce dce Toast Crunch. I mean, what? I’ve never, I mean the, dulce you add, right? I like the dolce a little bit. Is it just dolce? 74. Um, um, 50. Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch. What? Where have I been? I just beeline for the CTC. I don’t even look at this stuff. Now, that’s the same exact consistency. Which, I’m gonna give it points for that. It’s like cinnamon less Toast Crunch. I mean, that’s a 79. Oh, I, I do not like. I’m giving it a 22. Oh, my God. Caramel Toast Crunch. Oh. Mm mm. It tastes a little fakey. 43. Uh, yeah, makes me think of Richard Petty. I’ll give it a 43, too. Churros. Uh huh. Oh, man. Now, there’s a lot of crunch there. A lot of crunch. Even when you add the cereal, the one weakness of the CTC, Mh hmm. it, it, is that it gets soggy. It’s missing in a really, really big area though. Which is what? Flavor. Nope. Um, 61. I give it a 101. No. I’ve done thorough testing on my own and I am taking that into account. Having just tasted that cinnamon toast crunch, along with my butt. No. Chocolate churros. Oh, did you know about these? Chocolate churro! This added a little flavor that it needed. 78. Hmm. My heine, I give it a 90 Cini minis. Crazily cinnamon. What? So they’re were they little what? It has more cinnamon and less of whatever else makes Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Good toast. 58. Um, yeah, I don’t like it, 40. Cinni Minni’s churros. Oh, you’re gonna love this. What, the churros coming back smaller? Are they smaller? So crunchy. This is worse than the original. It doesn’t taste as good as the original. Yeah, it’s like, is it vegan or something? 51. Ah, I mean, no, 30. The taste. And that wraps up the cereal category. You can have some Topo Chico before we move on. I want more Cinnamon Toast Crunch, man, because it’s just so much better than what I’ve tasted so far. That is the whole point. The very first one, the French toast, that was good. Only if you really love the maple. Okay, up next we have the bars category, beginning with the Soft Baked Bar. What? Oh, it’s wide. What is the occasion one would eat these in? It’s not a breakfast bar? Is it on the go? I mean, I think the answer to both those questions is yes. Like on a hike? I like it. If I was hiking, it would be really good. Mixing it up. 69. Um, 65. Milk in cereal bar. Okay. Big promises. Whoa! That’s, okay. This thing got some height to it, man. Hmm. Okay. Oh. Do you feel like me? No. Cause I don’t feel like me. I wonder if I gave it to you. Oh, that started really good and got really bad. It’s not great. Whoa! It is getting worse. It tastes like I just, I’m about to give a number. Now it tastes like dirt. The longer we wait, the longer, the further down it’s going. You got a little bit on your I don’t even wanna eat it. I’m just gonna slough it into the trash can. It tastes like I just went to the side of a hill and just ate out of the side of a hill. 19? 14. Protein bar. Oh, man. Protein bar? Oh, man. Okay. Speaking of this, out of a hill. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, this is horrible. This is, this is, Y’all gonna have to I’m gonna choke if I try to swallow this without somebody putting some moisture in my mouth. It tastes like medicine. It tastes like ground up medicine. Oh man. This is awful. One. 4. you want to get something in your mouth before? Good. Oh man. And I just finally swallowed it. And it was like I was assaulted. Go to half point. But I got swole. I feel like. Didn’t work that fast. Okay. Treats bar. Treats. Is it for dogs? They got to come up with a better name. Naming system. Treats bar. Oh no. It’s like a rice crispy treat, but it’s made with cinnamon toast crunch. My whole taste palette has been thrown off from that protein bar. 35. Uh, 45. Sugar cookie toast crunch mini treat bar. Too long of a name. Oh, I think the protein bar is just, it’s about to hit my, It just got to the bottom of your esophagus? Yeah, it’s like, it’s about to plop into the stomach. This is pretty good. 67. I don’t know where to look over here. 45. I don’t, I don’t love it or hate it. And that concludes the bars category. Bars. Wow. Lastly, we have the miscellaneous treats and snacks category, proving that Cinnamon Toast Crunch can be shoved into anything. Heh. And some of these cinnamon toast crunches, they don’t even have cinnamon. They’re like replacing it with other things. It’s just toast crunch. And what the, what the crap is that? Yeah, I feel it’s a violation of the moral code. Right. Well, luckily this first one does have cinnamon. Let’s start with cinnamon toast crunch milk. What? I’ve had this before. It comes in, like, the Nesquik thing. You can get this at the store? Yeah, I got it late one night. Late one night. I don’t remember where I was. Um, that’s really good. That’s an 84 for me. I like the idea of that. But did you like the taste? Oh, yeah. Me too, 80. Cinnamon Toast Crunch Coffee Creamer. Oh, I’ve always had creamer straight. Oh, excuse me. I didn’t want to burp into my cup. You totally impacted my experience because, Sorry. As I was taking You’re usually not overly. In my mouth. You’re like, eurghgh. When I do this, I burp. That’s really good. It’s worse with, uh, This is yours, right? You don’t want to drink that much creamer. Just make sure we keep up with the, uh, um, I’m trying to, I’m diluting it in my brain into what it would taste like in coffee. And it’s, it’s not horrible. Fourteen. Fifty nine. Hated it. Link, you have some, uh, a little hang on from I believe the worst bar. What? Is it gone? It’s influencing all your decisions. Yeah, okay, now it’s better. I’m free. Thank you. That was the problem. Cinnadust seasoning blend, and we’re serving it on a piece of buttered toast. You’re not just pouring this right into our mouth? Cinnadust? Are you talking about cinnamon? Oh, man. Oh, this is like what my mama used to do on she would do cinnamon and sugar together on a piece of buttered toast in the oven. Yeah, that goes way back. I don’t think I need to buy it as a product, though. It tastes great, though. It’s very pleasant. 81. 60. Toaster strudel. Oh, really? Yes. 91. White icing? Mm mm. 91. That’s very good. I’m gonna give it an 85. If it doesn’t come with that white icing, I can’t give it higher than that. Oatmeal. Oatmeal? Okay. Cinnamon Toast Crunch Oatmeal? Now, I’ve been fed oatmeal with a spoon many times in my life, but it was when I was a lot younger. Yeah. Thirtysnine. Thirtysnine. I’m gonna go do fortysnine. Remix cinnamon vanilla snacking mix. Oh, you gotta mix it twice? What? It’s like a Chex Mix kind of consistency. Very crunchy. It’s just the churro cereal. Yum. Yum. That’s made a little more savory. That’s strange. I don’t even know what context I’m supposed to enjoy this. So weird. 64. I guess that’s a 50. That was a 50. Remix chocolate caramel snacking mix. Snacking. I didn’t hear that because mm. Oh, man. It’s got, like, popcorn in it. It tastes artificial. The caramel. It’s that caramel. Oh, gosh. I don’t like it. And it lingers. 31. 20. Popcorn. Just popcorn. Cinnamon toast popcorn? Um, I like more of a savory. But that’s not bad. I don’t love it. 58. Um, 20, uh, 27. Ice cream. Oh. Cinnamon toast. Who makes this? Mm. You haven’t had this before? I would have thought you’d be all over this. Oh. That’s very tasty. Oh my gosh. Is that all we get? That is so good. Mm. Wow. Because I want a little bit more of that. That might be a 93. I, I was thinking 92 and I’m sticking with it. Okay. And that completes the miscellaneous snacks and treats category. Your scores will now be tabulated so you may more closely examine the bottom four items to determine which is the worst. Okay.

He turns fast food into something fancy, recreating Gordon Ramsay dishes out of convenience store ingredients. He does all types of stuff over there. Mythical Kitchen channel, check it out. Okay guys, before I reveal your bottom four, I wanted to talk about your top two, Oh, great. Ice cream. Oh yeah, this was great. I didn’t know this existed. Highly recommend that. Cause I love the Ben Jerry’s um, Cinnamon Oatmeal. And this comes close to it in my opinion. And the Toaster Strudel. Which one did we actually score the highest though? The ice cream? The ice cream, yep. You gotta give somebody that ice cream. But the churros, I swear that, I think they’re, I think they’re better. There’s, there’s, I don’t know. I didn’t think they had the same flavor profile, or as good of a flavor profile. Better crunch. That’s not why we’re here. More sustainable crunch. Okay, according to you, the bottom four Cinnamon Toast Crunch products, in no particular order, are Milk & Cereal Bar. Okay, I have this. Protein Bar. I have that, too. Remix Chocolate Caramel Snacking Mix. And Cinnamon Toast Crunch Coffee Creamer. Yeah. Alright, so we’re gonna go from third best to third worst, third worst to second worst, to totally worst bottom of the barrel. And you know what? The coffee mate, we drank it straight. That wasn’t really fair. Let’s just get rid of that for that reason. You want a swig for old time’s sake? No, I still have some over here. Okay, alright, well we won’t open it. You guys can put this in the fridge. Enjoy it on your own time. Yeah, cause I know people are gonna love that. If you’re into that, which I am not into flavored creamers. Now, I know for a fact that the lowest scored one was the protein bar because we gave it, I gave it a one. But I want to re evaluate in the context because it does have 20 grams of protein and 2 grams of sugar and so, you know, it’s, it’s doing other things for you. These are just supposed to, these other two, the one you have, and the one right here. Yeah. These are just supposed to be for enjoyment alone. This is supposed to do something for you nutritionally. So I think we’ve gotta re evaluate now that we’ve got them all out here. This has four grams of protein. You wanna, you wanna try half of that? See, it is, it still has the Rice Krispies in it. And some cinnamon toast crunch. It’s actually not as bad the second time. And you wanna compare it to the, to this? Oh, I will say, It’s pretty. It looks pretty. Look at that. Look at how pretty it looks. But that’s just, It’s got a nice clean break. That’ll just, that’ll just hurt ya. It’ll just hurt ya. Just put yourself in protein bar land. Comparing it to other protein bars. Like, if you pick a protein bar, you know you’re in for it already. Yeah, something about it. It’s really bad, like. There’s almost a minty flavor. Good God! Sneaking in there. It has nothing to do with protein bars. It almost makes me want to start running. Like I want to run away from the flavor that’s in my mouth. Trying to figure out what is in this stuff. Popcorn and chocolate cinnamon toast crunch. And that’s it? No. And this, basically like a Chex. Kind of thing. I’m gonna eat one of each. I didn’t think this was that bad. No, not that bad. I can actually get into this now that I’m, We’ll put that at third worst. I mean, come on. This is obvious, right? Yeah, I mean the protein bar, it’s so bad, even with the 20 grams of protein, it’s not worth the discomfort that you’re gonna put yourself through. So there it is, officially, the bottom of the barrel. Cinnamon Cinnamon Toast Crunch Protein Bar. Boop. Just gonna throw it right in there. Boop. Ow. Never heard y’all boo before. I like that. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. You know what time it is. Have you had any Cinnamon Toast Crunch Protein Bars since then? Absolutely not. Have you had any, Let’s switch back. Because that, I mean, I didn’t, I didn’t like the transformation. Okay. And what did I mean by the transformation? You tell me. You wanna switch back? Yeah, I do wanna switch back. Have you had any of the, uh, Cinnamon Toast Crunch churro cereal, which you gave a 101? I should, like, Oh, yeah, I already knew about that, and I still stand by it. Uh, try it if you haven’t tried it. Ever since we’ve done that episode, there’s new Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavored stuff. There’s bacon. I haven’t had it. There’s waffle cereal. Oh, you’ve got toast waffle cereal? Yeah. I feel like we did have that at some point, but maybe we didn’t. And marshmallows. That sounds like a good idea. Yeah. Cinnamon toast. But they’re not crunchy, probably. Um, you know what? I don’t really want a crunchy one. What else is a good idea is that, um, you get ready for the next season of Good Mythical Morning. Oh. Which is right around the corner. Oh, my gosh. On Monday. For real? You gonna be there? Yeah. Another season. Season 27 of Good Mythical Morning. January 6th. Let us have it.
