Can dairy-free be as tasty as dairy?
Let's talk about that.
♪(intro music)♪
Good Mythical Morning.
I have learnt some things about my body, this year.
- Hmm. - (laughs)
I've learnt that I am at least, somewhat, allergic to maple syrup,
- especially when you pour it on my body. - Yes.
And I am at least, somewhat, lactose intolerant.
Oh! Which makes this an interesting episode for you,
because your exercise now is to find dairy-free alternatives,
- to dairy products. - Yes.
And that's what we're going to see if we can answer today.
Can we tell the difference between dairy-free and dairy-d products.
It's time for,
- ♪(bouncy music)♪ - Can we tell if there's dairy
(Link) in there, while sitting on our derriere?
So we're going to be presented with two items.
They look very similar.
One is dairy, one is dairy-free. We pick which one we think
is dairy-free, and we plant our dairy-free flag in it.
The loser of this exercise has to eat a dairy-free milkshake,
but, it's actually just a blended version of all the dairy-free products
- that we are going to be sampling today. - Yummy.
♪(upbeat music)♪
Okay, first up we have butter.
(Link) Oh, this is going to be tough, I can tell.
- Let's start over here? - We've applied the butter to bread,
We've done that-- We're not going to be eating
any of the stuff straight. So we've kind of disguised it
a little bit, to make this a little more challenging.
- Here you go. - Thanks for the bread, buddy.
Thanks for the buttered bread, buddy-roll.
We'll be bread buddies.
Now, smell first.
- Smells like buttered bread to me. - Smells like buttered bread. Really does.
Oh, I got some on my nose.
You know what really butters my bread?
What?
I don't know, I was hoping you could tell me.
(both laugh)
See, I went buttered side down.
You went butter tongue.
I don't need to eat the bread actually.
- Fake butter is made out of-- - Plants.
(Rhett) Plants.
I don't taste plants there. You taste plants?
I don't taste plants.
Except for the plants that made the bread.
Is that cheat-- That seems like cheating.
But I'm gonna do it too.
Hmm, it's a milder foretaste, but a stronger aftertaste.
That's tough.
Well, they did a good job.
Can't go wrong.
The fake butter people, did a good job.
Fake butter people, you ought to be commended.
And you are over here.
(Link) I think this is-- this tastes better,
and it's not actually butter.
There is a slightly different aftertaste that hit me at the very end of that,
which was the only deciding factor for me.
I feel like I've got to go here, man.
- Okay. Alright. - (makes a silly sound)
It's a crap shoot.
- (Stevie) Alright, Link, you're correct. - (ding sound)
- Yes! - Oh!
I got you.
- Not really. - There was a kind of,
a different little thing at the end, there.
♪(upbeat music)♪
We got an ice cream sandwich,
cut into many little pieces.
This one's thicker right off the bat, which screams ice cream to me.
- Oh yeah. - You know?
- The cross section-- - This might be compensation.
This might be compensation for something, they know it's not real, so they make it
- extra big. So you won't notice. - (Link) The cross section.
(Rhett) I don't know.
Let's try the shorty first.
Well, it's stumpy.
Yeah, I know.
- There's coconut in that. - Yeah.
Who added coconut?
Is it coconut flavored?
- She's not answering. - (Stevie laughs)
I'm not even going to eat that one, 'cause I don't eat dairy.
(both laugh)
I don't need any dairy in my life, man.
I can't be getting dairy, 'cause it goes in my system,
and it causes problems.
But I wonder why it tastes so coconut-y.
If you don't like coconut, you're not gonna like that.
But, if you like ice cream, you might like it, if you also like coconut.
(Stevie) Alright, guys, you're both correct.
- (ding sound) - Yes.
♪(upbeat music)♪
Alright, now we've got dairy-free salmon verses dairy salmon--
No, actually, it's the cream cheese on the bagel.
It's not the salmon.
(Rhett) But we have disguised it on a salmon and onion bagel.
Which I would never eat.
Really? Well, you're about to.
And, if somebody served it to me, I would take that stuff off.
- Can't do that, friend. - (Link) Can't do it. Okay.
You want to start over here? I'll bite this end,
and then I'll give you the other side.
You've got to experience the salmon and the cream cheese,
but then you've got to ignore that.
I mean the onions.
(Rhett) Which are both strong flavors.
Salmon really comes through, doesn't it?
Hm mm.
The salmon swims upstream in my taste system.
I couldn't gain a lot of information about that.
The salmon blocking my view of cream cheese.
That's tough.
- So you're not a fan of this? - Nuh uh.
It's not that bad.
(Link) I'm trying to find the cream cheese in my mouth and just focus on it,
but when you just use it like glue, like we're using it here,
I think we've already determined that dairy-free is a viable option.
Am I right?
I tasted something.
I was actually thinking this one.
- Really? - Yeah, 'cause I didn't--
I tasted more there.
I tasted dairy.
- (Stevie) Link, you are incorrect. - (ding sound)
- Oh. - Alright, so we're tied up now.
Alright, tied it right up.
♪(upbeat music)♪
Okay, so these salads have been bathed in ranch dressing,
which is dairy-free? Let's find out.
We've also got some carrots, some lettuce, some coo-coombers,
- and some tomatoes. - Coo-coombers are my favorite.
Coo-coombers are not my favorite.
(Rhett) Make sure you really get the sauce-ies on there.
(Link) Got to get that sauce.
I don't know if that took me all the way to the ranch.
I don't know if that got me-- That got me, like, to the driveway
of the ranch, but not all the way to the one-story home.
(Link) Maybe this one will take us the rest of the way?
Do you prefer a ranch style house?
Oh yeah, I'm thinking about when I get older.
I don't want to be going up those steps.
Yeah, that's what my mom says.
That's why they've moved into a ranch style house.
I've been corresponding with you mom about it.
- (Rhett) Really? - (Link) Hm mm.
But they have no animals.
You got to get animals if you're going to have a ranch house?
Yeah.
(Rhett) I'll tell you right now, the ranch flavor on this one,
Super strong, makes me want to pick it.
But I also know that people who do things that are imitations sometimes
- Overcompensate? - They over-blow things.
And maybe this is overblown ranch.
And maybe this is just your average, everyday ranch.
'Cause this seemed watered downed to me too.
But I think I just have to go with instinct here, and I'm gonna--
Yeah, do that.
Alright.
I don't think Rhett answered in the way he intended,
but let's go with it.
- (Stevie) Rhett, you are incorrect. - (ding sound)
- Oh yeah! (laughs) - You did it backwards, but it counts.
- (laughs) - Yeah, I meant this one has dairy.
I was like, "Yes, yes, yes, yes. Put your flag there."
You got to read your flag each time.
- This says dairy-free on it. - They always say dairy-free.
So, you were right, but you put your flag--
- So I'm going to use that as an advantage. - You can take it.
♪(upbeat music)♪
Sometimes this show turns into, like, we're being served like a six course meal.
We just sit here, and our friends bring us food to eat.
They do this at my house, as well.
- They come to your house? - (Rhett) Yeah.
The crew doesn't come to your house? I thought they divvied up.
I do not like tomatoes,
- but I do like tomato soup. - Really?
And I'm not going to explain myself.
But, I didn't know there was--
Well, I guess cream is in tomato soup.
I did not know that either.
That's what makes it dairy.
Alright, so, if I look at the viscosity.
There's definitely a viscosity difference.
Which would make you think that this was the one with the dairy in it.
But let's analyze by taste.
So how did that one taste?
It taste like tomato soup.
I mean, I didn't know that dairy was in tomato soup to begin with.
So, I learned nothing.
If Chef Boyardee got a hold of this, we'd some have some O's,
and some balls happening in there.
You've got Chef Boyardee balls?
Chef Boyardee throw some balls in there, that be some good mess.
I've never heard of the O's and balls can.
(Link and crew laugh)
Oh wow! That's a distinct difference.
But listen, so we think this is dairy-free,
- we're agreeing on that. - Yup.
But what I'll say is that--
You like it more?
You usually don't eat dairy-free and dairy products next to each other.
- That's kind of against the point of it. - Yeah.
So, we're stacking the deck against this product,
but, if I just isolate it.
That's legit good.
I don't think so, man. Chef Boyardee wouldn't let
his balls get anywhere near that.
(all laugh)
And that's why I'm going with dairy-free.
Which, this time this means there's no dairy in it.
- (Stevie) You are both incorrect. - (buzzer sound)
What?
(both) No!
- Don't you do that. Don't you lie to us. - No, that can't be true.
- Really? - (Stevie) Yes, it's true.
- (Stevie) I'm not lying over here. - Well Chef Boyar-donkey.
(Rhett and crew laugh)
♪(upbeat music)♪
Now introducing, only available at RhettandLink.com/store,
- the dairy-free mug. - (laughs)
Which one is it?
We actually have a whole line of dairy-free merchandise.
It's all of our merchandise.
Yeah, the hoodies are-- And the beanies are both dairy-free.
I get them confused.
We're going to have to sip out the same mug.
Let's sip at the same time, and then switch.
I haven't been drinking coffee either. Wow.
I've been missing out.
- Is this our normal coffee? - (Stevie) Hm mm.
- This is office coffee? - (Stevie) Office coffee.
I miss office coffee.
Oh, you haven't been drinking coffee at all.
I've been drinking tea. I quit coffee too, man.
There's no milk in coffee unless you add it.
I know, but I've been--
- Dang, man. - I couldn't put the milk in it,
I just haven't been even--
- You're flagellating yourself, man. - I've changed everything about me.
This is tough.
Hold on a second. I thought this was going to be simple.
You know what? One of the things I've noticed
is that I drink coffee every day, and once I decide I like the coffee,
I no longer analyze it.
And if this is the same coffee I drink every day, when I analyze it,
I realize I don't like it.
I don't like it either, I'm glad I quit.
Glad to quit drinking coffee.
- Man, that's-- - Guys--
It's the same thing. It's a trick.
Is one of these a powder?
They're both liquids?
Man, this is a toss up.
I got to go with this one being dairy-free.
This one has a little bit less of a staying power on my mouth.
- (Stevie) Rhett, you are correct. - (ding sound)
- Oh! Alright. - Oh, man.
Man, we tied!
(silly voice) We tied, Clyde.
We tied? Are we done?
- We tied! - Is that it?
- That's it, and we tied. - We tied. We're both dairy-free boys.
(all laugh)
(normal voice) Thanks to Chef Boyardee for letting us mention his balls.
- (laughs) - And--
Thank you for liking, commenting, and subscribing.
You know what time it is.
- Hi, I'm Teegan. - And I'm Delaney.
And we're at the record archive in Rochester, New York.
- And it's time to spin, - (both) the Wheel of Mythicality.
Watch Good Mythical Crew tomorrow morning on this channel,
where you can see Mike and Alex get trained for a beauty pageant.
And, right now, click through to Good Mythical More,
we are going to blend up all the dairy-free items, and both drink them,
- because we tied. - (silly voice) Tied Clyde.
(silly voice) We tied.
