- Is wet food dry better than dry food wet?
- Let's talk about that.
(lively techno music)
Good Mythical summer!
- We sure are gonna miss these dinking, sinking mugs
but we're done making 'em.
Make sure you collect a pair before they're gone forever.
Only at Mythical.store.
- A couple of months ago,
we made hot foods cold and cold foods hot
to see which was better when reversed.
For the most part, we found that cold food turned hot
was better than hot food turned cold
but there's a whole world of food swaps
ready to be food-dropped into these two food slots.
So today, the food swap is going to be wet and dry foods.
It's time for Wet Foods Dry Versus Dry Foods Wet.
Which one is better?
We don't know yet!
- A few weeks ago, we posted a series
of wet dry food versus dry wet food match-ups on Instagram
and you voted on which ones you thought we would like better
so you should have followed us on Instagram
if you want in on that type of stuff!
And now we're gonna find out if you were right
and the prize at stake is for you.
- Yes, you'll get a point for each round
the majority of you guessed correctly
and if you get three or more points,
we'll give personal shout-outs.
- Personal! - To as many of you
as possible in Good Mythical MORE.
And if you don't get three right,
we're going to play all the worst sounds
in the world at the same time and you have to listen!
- Hmm, let's dry it up and wet it down.
(deep bass music)
- Let's get started with Olive Garden
and what if the new chef got every preparation backwards
like a plate of dry Fettuccine Alfredo
versus a basket of wet breadsticks, aka wetsticks.
- Yum!
- Unlimited wetsticks!
Boy, that really gets me going.
(plates clattering)
And we're gonna place--
- Hey! - Our shower that is golden
in the one we think is better but we have to agree.
- Pay no mind to me.
There's a little slab for you right there.
I think that's good right there.
- Oh, that's some crusty.
So this one, they might left out for--
- How did you guys do this? - A long time, right?
- Did you dry it?
- [Crew Member] Just threw it in a dehydrator
and let it run for 12 to 65 hours.
- Do they have those in Olive Garden?
- [Crew Member] I think you gotta special request it.
- Oh, man.
We just undid everything that we did to the dish.
- Yeah, we uncooked noodles.
- Oh, man!
Well you know what we need to get rid of this taste?
- There's not a lot of taste.
- Wet bread.
(crew members laughing)
- Grab one.
- Wet bread is so safe.
Oh gosh!
Surprisingly well!
You didn't wet it so much that--
- [Crew Member] We wet it a lot.
Water does not penetrate the thick exterior
of the Olive Garden breadstick.
- Yeah, it's so doughy.
- There is this-- - That is important.
- Okay.
It's danky and-- - It smells kinda good.
- I'm gonna go right in the middle.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah, really.
You really gotta convince yourself to continue chewing.
- I'm not really chewing as much as mushing it.
- Think of it not as a wet breadstick but as a, like,
the national dish of a country you've never been to.
- Like Atlantis?
- [Rhett] Have you had the bread fish?
- Oh look, it's when in Atlantis! (laughs)
Well, the taste is better than the fettuccine
because it retains some of the bread's--
Oh gosh, it's running down my hand.
- [Rhett] Suck a little bit of the water
out of the end of it.
- Now, if this were like-- - Oh!
Oh gosh!
Don't suck a little water.
No, no, no, no, no!
Don't suck on it!
It's bad! - Bread water?
- Don't suck that bread water, boy.
- See, the thing is this is horrible consistency
but the taste is better.
That, you're gonna need dental work.
- Let's have a breadstick fight real quick.
Let me just see if I can,
then just hold it out in front of me,
let me see if I can break it.
- Oh, like this?
Like that?
(bread thuds)
(crew laughing) - Oh, see?
You can have the fun for hours.
- The whole side flopped off.
- But I think we're on the same page.
I mean, neither of them are good but you know what?
Yeah, you put your--
- Well, we've got to agree.
I don't know what the pages that we're on.
- Oh, you seemed like you were gonna say
that the breadstick was better and I was gonna agree!
- Yeah, 'cause ultimately,
I don't wanna lose a tooth.
- Right.
- So that's what we're saying.
Let's find out what you in Instagram voting said.
- [Crew Member] So 59% of the Mythical Beasts
thought you would like the dry Fettuccine Alfredo better.
- I can see why you would think that.
- Because the wet breadsticks sound nasty and it is
but that's just flat out dangerous, y'all.
- Yeah, right.
(deep bass music)
- Now, we're going to snack city
where we have dried Mountain Dew,
we got some Mountain Dry.
- What? - Look at this stuff!
It's freaking rocks! - Crazy.
- [Link] Versus drowned Pop-Tarts aka Slop-Tarts.
- Okay, first of all-- - Oh my goodness.
- I gotta know how you guys made this.
I know Nicole, our Mythical associate
food producer made this so what was the process here?
- [Nicole] I pretty much made a candy
out of Mountain Dew, corn syrup, and sugar
and I heated it to 290,
and then I pulverized it in a blender like a mountain!
- Definitely seems like something that the astronauts--
(Nicole giggling)
Yeah, like a mountain.
Ah, yes! - Thank you!
- I appreciated that pun.
- Thank you. (crew laughing)
someone did.
- This is how astronauts enjoy all drink.
- And their pee comes out like globules.
- Yeah.
Astronauts don't consume any water
the whole time they're up there.
It's all dry.
- Oh, I can't bite it.
- You're gonna try to bite it.
- It's unbite-able.
Ooh, that's hard!
- It is like just biting into this out of a mountain.
- It's a freaking rock!
- But no, you don't bite it, you suck on it.
- It's rock candy.
It's absolutely just that.
- It's just like going to the Blue Ridge Mountains,
just biting into the side of a hill.
- And you know what? - And that's something
I've always thought about doing.
- It's not too sweet, it's not a overwhelming flavor.
- It's good!
- It's actually the perfect amount of not too sweetness.
It's more rock than candy.
It's more Mountain than Dew.
- Do you remember Gatorade gum?
- Yeah.
- I feel like Mountain Dew should have this.
It's like a dry version of--
- Mountain rocks.
- Yeah and it fits with the mountain theme?
I don't think that we need
to taste that Pop-Tart (laughs) but--
- Yeah, we don't need to taste this.
- No, we should.
- Maybe this is good.
All right, so.
I must spit that out 'cause I'd be--
- Save that for later. - I'd be working
on that mountain rock for an hour.
- Okay, so you guys went with the pop in Pop-Tarts.
So this is a little bit carbonated.
- [Crew Member] Hmm, indeed.
It should just have a little pleasant tingle.
(crew giggling)
- I like things that give me a pleasant tingle.
- What flavor Pop-Tart are we working with here?
- [Crew Member] Brown Sugar Cinnamon,
the only flavor of pop-tart I recognize.
- Oh. - Oh, you're right, Matt.
- It smells good.
It smells like Horchata.
- Was that?
That's good too, man!
What's that look? (crew laughing)
You don't like this?
- I don't like the pop part.
Horchata is not fizzy and when I started going to that zone,
smells like Horchata but it's--
- I think it's really good.
Job well done.
But I will say-- - It's got a great taste.
- I will say that I'm still going back
to this rock candy though.
This is something out of this world
that I legitimately believe could be on the shelves.
- Marketable!
- And literally, you just put it on the shelves.
You don't package it.
You just put it on the shelves
and see people come and get it.
- You just put it in a big bucket and people can dig it.
- Right!
- You could mix it in with dirt.
- Sell it by the pound!
- And you could do that thing where people like,
oh, they pretend like they're mining for it.
- Oh, yes!
- And you get a big sack of dirt,
a little bit of Mountain Dew rock in there,
and then you're really just selling dirt.
- Right.
- Making lots of profit, this is what we're gonna do,
don't even think about it.
Line up, Mythical Mining!
- We prefer the Mountain Dew dried up.
- What did the Mythical Beasts think we were gonna prefer?
- [Woman] 63% of the MBs thought you would like
dry Mountain Dew better. (bell rings)
- Hey! (Link claps)
- You guys are right.
You guys are smart. - You know us so well.
- And you did an amazing job.
We gotta figure this out now.
- (laughs) Well, I think it has been figured out.
- I think with milk, this would have given it
a run for its money.
- Oh. - Just in my world.
- Hmm, okay, all right.
(deep bass music)
All right, we're gonna flip the best deal you can get
at any generic American diner, soup and a sandwich!
- [Link] Dry soup, wet sandwich.
- Yeah, so this is French onion soup
which is one of my top 10 favorite soups.
I really like it.
I like a lot of soups.
- Now, ham is a bit wet, lettuce can get a little wet,
I think cheese can be a little impervious,
but the problem is the bread.
You don't want your bread wet.
- Well, unless you do.
- When?
- Well, right now.
- Especially when it's wet with hot ham water.
- Yeah, they used ham water
which is the only type of water I recognize.
- And it's not hot, it's just room temp.
All right.
That's gonna be more palatable.
Can we start over here?
That's just my prediction.
- You wanna work your way this way?
- Yeah. - Okay.
I'll just come over here in this.
(bread crunching)
- [Link] Nice little ham.
- You could just--
- Again, it's like--
- You could just--
- If you have a sandwich and you drop it in a puddle
or in your drink, it's over.
- It sounds like you're prejudging it though.
- It's over! - Listen, it's not--
- It's over at that point! - Maybe it's just beginning!
Maybe it's just beginning, Link!
- When you smell water in your freaking plate,
you tell the waiter to start over!
- I'm gonna get-- - Hey guys,
that's actually how the French Dip sandwich was invented
and now it's a national treasure
invented right here in Los Angeles so.
- Well, maybe we're gonna do
an American dip. - Yeah, that's right.
- Philippe's!
- Yeah, hey!
You can put all that in your mouth?
- No, I'm just gonna put a bit of it.
- Dink it?
- I'm not dinking.
- Sink it.
Mm-mm!
Mm-mm, that's not a good texture.
- No, no, but that ham water is really coming through.
- The bread is just tough, guys.
- It just feels juicy.
I mean, to me, it feels like it's just juicier
and I like a juicy sandwich, okay?
- It doesn't alter the taste any.
- So that's a piece of bread, some cheese on top.
- [Link] Now, you can buy a French onion powder.
- [Crew Member] Mm-hmm.
- Is that just what's in here or did you?
- [Crew Member] Mm-hmm.
- (laughs) Mm-hmm, we just didn't add water.
Okay. (chuckles)
Okay, so I'm just gonna get--
- [Link] Oh, gosh.
Look at all that stuff.
It's just brown.
- It's for when you wanna turn
just to make the soup in your mouth.
- That's a good slogan.
♪ Soup in your mouth, soup in your mouth ♪
- Dig in. - It could be as popular
as the baby back ribs jingle.
(bread crunching) - Oh!
- The flavor's a little concentrated.
- (groans) Very salty.
- I think I just replenished all my electrolytes
with that one bite.
- We gotta stab one of these, man.
Here's the thing--
- But I gotta be honest with you,
I think I like the wet ham sandwich more.
- Because what happens is after a while,
it's like you're eating.
Oh (clears throat).
It's like you're just eating a sandwich.
But that is still so pungent.
- There we go, a wet ham sandwich is our preference.
What'd the Mythical Beasts think?
- Did the Mythical Beasts think so?
I bet not. - Link, you have
the foam thing in the back.
(crew laughing)
- What? - I think he's putting
the foam thing in the dish
when there's a cord by there but it's fine.
- [Woman] Okay.
54% of the MBs thought you would like
the dry French onion soup better.
(buzzer buzzes)
- Yep.
- It was very close though, 54 to 46.
- This one's hard to predict.
That means you guys have already lost.
- You're gonna be punished.
- Yeah, you're gonna be punished for this,
but you know what?
You've got one more chance
to just gain back a little bit of pride.
(deep bass music)
- Potatoes, they can be enjoyed wet, mashed potatoes,
or dry, chips, so maybe this swap is a tossup?
- Yeah, I mean, look at this again!
This is what it's like to be
on the International Space Station
and you're like what's for dinner?
- A pile of pre-water added mashed potatoes and the gravy.
It's hard to tell the difference
between the gravy and the potatoes.
- Yeah, the gravy is the slightly less,
slightly darker little circle in the middle there.
- And these Pringles are soaking in gelatinized water
which we'll talk about in a second but let's go ahead.
I don't wanna go with too much gravy
'cause I want a 10% ratio.
- [Rhett] Hey, be careful.
Here we go.
- [Link] Now, don't breathe heavily in front it.
- I already did and it went away.
Here we go.
Make the potatoes in your mouth!
- Wow, mouths potatoes.
- How did they get so much taste?
So much flavor into such a small package!
- All right, so I like that.
Correct me if I'm wrong but this is not
just straight-up water that these Pringles
have been soaking in.
The goal is to make jello Pringles.
- Something that's got some structure to it.
(Rhett laughs)
You just birthed and entire-- - Oh, gosh!
- That's what everyone wants to do
when they pour out a thing of Pringles
is them to come out just smooth as butter!
- Somehow, because it's not just water,
they stayed intact.
- Oh, that one's having trouble.
- So we have succee-
- They're like little tortillas!
- It brings out the Pringle aroma.
- Ooh!
It does smell good.
- I'm just gonna lay this on my tongue like a sunbather.
Mm, this is like a wet pork loin over here.
I think I can just, just go.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [Link] I get that.
- The worst part about Pringles is the crunch.
- So yeah, you could cut this
and you can eat it like a slab
but Josh also prepared some individual ones
if you wanna get really meticulous
so that you get the right ratio of gelatinous water
and look at this!
That is a floppy chip.
- [Rhett] So that's totally intact.
It's a chip without the crisp.
- It's a crunchless chip!
Just lay it on.
(Link slurping)
- It's like what happens to a chip
right before you swallow it
but it's that from the beginning.
- Skipping right to it.
- If you're into that.
- If you wanted to just focus on the taste of a Pringle
but you didn't wanna have the crunch of a Pringle.
- It isn't as strong of a flavor.
I tell you right now, it's no dried potatoes. (laughs)
- You're gonna be so bloated, man.
You're gonna be calling me tonight,
saying, oh gosh, I'm hurting!
- Do you know how many mashed potatoes I can eat?
- Well, you just say ate eight bowls worth
in those three spoonfuls.
- No, it doesn't expand
that much, my friend. - It's very buttery.
I think the most fun about this
is the way it just (blows raspberries)
kinda all comes out of the canister at once.
- I gotta say that's a pretty cool concept
but for me, the experience that I'm having over here
with these dry mashed potatoes being made in my stomach,
it's something I wanna share with the world.
- Yeah, did the Mythical Beast agree?
- [Woman] 73% of the Mythical Beasts
thought that you would like
dry mashed potatoes and gravy better.
(bell rings)
- Yeah. - All right!
