- Today we ask the age old question again.
- Will it cereal?
- Let's talk about that.
((Intro Music))
- Good Mythical Morning.
- Indeed. It is a Good Mythical Morning.
because, I mean, sure,
we are about to revisit
one of the most classic Will Its of all time.
But the reason why we are doing so is even more exciting.
- You ready?
You ready? - I'm ready.
- We made our own cereal.
- What?
- That's right.
We didn't just make our own cereal.
We have our whole
brand of cereals, Mish Mash, that you're going to be able
to eat from the comfort of your own
cereal bowls starting today.
- Yes.
Am I going to cry?
I hope so. I was hoping you would.
- This is the culmination of a lot of dreaming
and a lot of hard work
within this building
and without of this building. All around the world,
things have been coming together.
- It's a global effort.
- I mean, I do want to be clear,
we were not approached with a cereal
that was already
in development and then asked to put Mythical
or our names on it.
No, this has been a dream of ours to make a cereal.
I mean, you know how much I love
cereal, it's my favorite food of all time
to have at any time.
And our show has the word morning in it.
So it's always made sense in our brains.
But a lot of things had to come together
to know
that it was the right time to make a cereal.
and that we had the right ideas.
- Yeah, we wanted to make sure
that it was Mythical, so we did two flavors.
I've got over here, Sweet Mac N' Mello.
Now, this is the first ever
cereal that we know of that is in the shape of macaroni.
But it doesn't taste like macaroni and cheese.
It just looks like it. It's not cheese flavored.
It's just a sweet cereal with marshmallows.
It's really, really good.
- It's fun to eat because it's mac and cheese.
When you don't want mac and cheese,
you want cereal. They said it couldn't be done.
- And you can squirt. - And we've done it.
- You can squirt milk out of your noodles.
- The noodles are hollow, is what he's bragging about.
We also have peanut butter and honey sandwich cereal.
You know how much we love peanut butter
We're the peanut butter, boys.
But we wanted to make sure we were making a peanut butter
cereal unlike any other.
And this taps into the nostalgia of
peanut butter honey sandwiches that I would eat
in my school cafeteria.
- Well, let's enjoy them, Link.
- If you haven't had a peanut butter and honey sandwich.
- Let's enjoy them real time.
Milk me, Link. Milk me.
- Or just have this instead.
- Okay, so, like Link was saying, there's a lot of like taste
testing and adjusting and dialing
these in that took place like over the past year plus
really to get to this point and with the branding,
obviously we want to do something
that was reminiscent
of our cereals that we enjoyed as kids.
So it's kind of
got that like 80's/90's feel to it,
but then it's something that
people of all ages can enjoy at any time of the day.
- I like a good honey cereal.
I like a good peanut cereal.
Have you had them both together?
You should.
And we've done it for you.
- I don't know which one's my favorite.
I go back and forth.
- They are distinctly different
enough that you can have a bowl of one
and then you can have a bowl of the next.
And you can
you can feel like you've done yourself a favor.
- Okay, well,
we can continue enjoying these, but really,
this is about you enjoying them.
And the only way you can do that.
is by going and getting yourself a box
or two at Eatmishmash.com Eatmishmash.com
- All right, let's get to the other cereals
that we're developing in house today.
In the spirit of brand new cereals,
we felt it fitting
to bring back a classic, but with a 2023 twist.
It's time for.
- [Together] Will It Cereal? Reheated
- The first Will It Cereal
we did nine years ago.
We did not have a Mythical Kitchen,
but we did have a fresh faced young boy named Chase
who just added single ingredients
To bowls of milk. we called that will it cereal.
- And this time around, you know,
we're going to do things a little bit different.
These new cereals will be
properly, sorry Chase, properly Mythical Kitchenized,
just the way
we've come to like it or possibly at times hate it.
- All right.
Let's get to this first one.
Traditional thinking may declare that milk
plus chicken equals barf.
- Yup.
But what if it weren't just any chicken?
What if it were Panda Express
orange chicken?
- Oh, maybe that changes things.
- Introducing Orange Bunches of Panda.
Really?
- Okay, Vi, explain yourself.
- [Vi] So these are orange chicken flavored clusters
with a hint of orange juice, orange zest and sugar.
- But there is chicken in there?
- [Vi] No.
- Oh, good.
There's not actual chicken.
- [Vi] It's chicken flavoring.
- Chicken flavoring. Okay.
It certainly looks like little pieces of fried chicken.
Like when KFC did that popcorn chicken for a while.
If you were to just put that into a bowl
It looks crispy.
- Is the crew still betting on.
- [Stevie] Oh, yeah.
- That's all they're thinking about right now.
- The tournament is still happening.
- [Stevie] Yes.
You'll hear gasps and celebration during this.
- Oh, my gosh.
- It really puts Mish Mash into perspective, doesn't it?
- What?
It is so chickeny
and chewy.
- How did you make something
taste and feel like chicken without it being chicken?
- I don't think I can get it down.
I mean, sometimes I wake up
and think to myself,
- Oh, gosh.
- I want Panda Express right now.
Actually, no, I don't.
I've never done that.
- Why did I put three of these clusters in my mouth?
- Because it has to be a proper test.
- I'm trying to focus on the orange part.
- Well, first of all, it would take me
45 minutes to get through a bowl of this,
cause I'm still chewing the first three pieces.
- [Stevie] Y'all also have your your third mouth
option, you can bring in, in any of these rounds
and get a crew member to taste it.
- Okay, we'll do it.
Not this round.
I don't want to put anybody through this.
- Let me see if, just let it sit in milk helps.
- Panda milk.
- They're really, really hard to milk.
- If we actually squeeze the teats of a panda.
- You can't find the teat on a panda A lot of times.
- This is horrible.
- Yeah. Panda Express orange chicken,
Will It Cereal?
- [Together] No.
- Remember when I thought I was Scottish?
And then I went to Scotland and My mom broke her ankle?
- Yeah.
- And then I discovered I'm actually Irish.
Ireland.
Land of potato. This one's for you.
Loaded baked potato cereal a.k.a.
Luck of the potato puffs.
- Potato puffs and there's this.
There's a specific milk for this?
Vi, What did you do?
- [Vi] These are dehydrated potatoes formed into balls
with dehydrated bits of bacon and cheese served
with the sour cream and green onion infused milk.
- More, Link, more of the sour cream and onion milk.
- I'm trying to get some of the
sour cream.
I mean some of the onions.
- Can I have more?
- On mine and then I'll give you more
of the milk.
- I weirdly like the idea of this.
I'm not thinking of it as a
this is a late night cereal.
- Yeah, when no one's going to be smelling your breath
because everyone else is asleep in the house.
- I feel like you got to get a big bite
to make it feel like a real loaded baked potato.
- You really done a great thing in terms of the look.
- It's so colorful.
- It's so cerealized, but still so much loaded baked potato
It's tough.
It's really hard.
- The temperature's tough.
- To do those onion milk.
Can we evaluate it without the milk?
Because the milk,
even being onion milk, especially being onion milk
is really bad. It's really hard to do this, but
-Give me the milk. - If you just take
the dried cereal and eat it on its own.
It's horrible, dude.
- It's not horrible in and of itself.
Don't you like sour cream?
Think of it as thin sour cream.
Don't think of it as milk.
Sour cream is just milk
that's thick.
- Yeah.
- See? It's all about your brain, man.
It's all about your mindset.
- Look at that.
- But in this.
You just put a saddle on my brain and rode me.
- Oh, gosh.
-To baked potato cereal town.
- No, no, hold on, I'm not trying to ride you anywhere.
- Hitch me to a post, man.
- I'm just trying to ride your.
- I'm here. - I'm trying to get your milk.
I'm trying to get your mind to understand this milk.
- I did. It did. You did.
- So, that's step 1.
You did. Can you brush me later?
- Sure.
I'll put some of that Mane 'n Tail on you too.
- Well, you know what, he brought me around
Loaded baked potato will it cereal?
- [Together] Yes.
- Most cereals are known for being sugary,
whereas Coke Zero's whole thing is about being sugar free.
Opposites may attract,
but how well will these two fare together
in a bowl of milk presenting
Coke Zerios.
- I mean, the name alone - Is nice.
- Yeah.
You might think it's a chocolate cereal.
- [Vi] This is toasted oat and Coke Zero infused cereal.
It's sugarless
and molded into O shapes served with almond milk.
- It's kind of like Cracklin' Oat Bran. Remember that?
- So you have like
oat makers?
I mean, O makers.
- [Vi] Yes. we have a mold that is in the shape of Cheerios.
- It's not the crunchiest of cereals.
Maybe that's the Coke Zero syrup.
Should we expect a fizz?
- [Vi] Possibly.
- If you get fizz when you don't expect fizz though
it's more exciting. So let's not expect the fizz.
I don't expect this to fizz.
- I don't expect fizz.
That's good because
- It didn't fizz.
- Okay.
Are we doing something wrong?
- [Vi] No.
- I don't think you can hide fizz in a solid.
- Maybe some dry ice.
- Unless you put Alka-Seltzer in it?
- When I tasted the one dry,
it was not bad at all.
- It's very oaty.
And I like a good oat.
- There's not,
nothing super offputting about it, though.
I agree with that.
- I think, you know,
as we think about expanding the Mythical Mish Mash brand,
I'm interested in like maybe an oat cereal.
- Maybe an oat. - But not necessarily this one
unless it's awesome.
- Okay. The milk unlocks the coke flavor,
which is
not necessarily a door that I wanted to go through.
- And we're going with almond milk because
it's just healthy?
- [Vi] It matched well.
- Oats.
Um, okay.
Um. Yeah.
- Is this kind of like the Special K diet?
You know, the Special K diet
was just eating Special K.
- And it was ladies
wearing white bathing suits in commercials.
- And then her bent leg made the K. We've been through this.
It's not, it's pretty good.
- It's not very good, Link.
- It's bland-ish.
- Yeah.
I knew you were going to like it because you
tend to like things that don't taste good.
- It doesn't taste bad.
- No, it does. It taste pretty bad, man.
I'm just going to say objectively.
- It tastes like Coke Zero.
- I know that taste
is subjective, but in this sense,
you're objectively wrong.
- Hold on, just close your eyes and think about that
Special K commercial.
- Okay, see if you can do what I did with the milk
in your mind.
You can ride my mind all you want
to see if you can get me to like this. The texture is awful.
- Just hop on to the bend to my arm.
It's like the.
- No, you ain't going to. - This could be part of a K.
- Look like a Special K lady's arm.
- I mean, but it's not hateable, okay?
It's just meh.
Where does meh leave us?
- There's nothing good about it.
Tell me what's good about it?
The fact that your mouth chews it
and you can swallow it because that's the way
that you kind of described it.
- Well, I think the oats are still nice and I guess.
That's just any cereal.
- But you don't get the crunch that you typically get from oats.
And the Coke of it all
is really working completely against it.
- And there was no fizz.
-That's the thing we're evaluating.
- I was trying. - The thing we're evaluating is
if Coke Zero, not oats can be made into a cereal,
you know that oats work as a cereal.
That's not the question.
Well, I think the oats work.
Well, who cares?
Does the Coke work?
No.
- Yeah.
- Did I get you?
- You got me.
I'm saddled up.
- [Rhett] Coke Zero, will it cereal?
- [Together] No.
- In the first Will It Cereal.
We tried a meatloaf cereal which we both hated.
Though, for some reason I did say yes to.
I was just trying to be funny.
As you would expect.
It was just pieces of meatloaf in milk.
That was the way Chase used to do it.
But now, nine years later,
can our infinitely talented
group of kitcheneers actually make it work?
We give you Special B.
The B is for beef.
- Oh, and Vi
you've instructed us to use this special milk.
- What's special about it?
- [Vi] It has ketchup in it.
- Okay.
- Ketchup milk.
- It's got ketchup in it.
That's what's special about it.
- What's in the cereal?
- Milk me.
- [Vi] Oh, you're going to love this.
It's ground beef blended with Italian spices, herbs, bread crumbs
and eggs formed into dehydrated mini meat cubes.
- I like the meat cubes.
Though, I will say
as someone who knows a fun fact about wombat poop.
- It really looks like a wombat.
- It looks exactly like wombat poop, which is miraculously
cube shaped because of something in their anus.
- Oh yeah.
Man, it's a big spoon too.
- Yeah, well, get a lot of cubes on it.
- Okay, I'm going to go with three and.
- I'm trying to go heavy on the milk.
It's a saucy bite.
- Get that sauce.
- It's absolutely meat loaf.
- It turns into just regular meatloaf in your mouth.
- Instantly
- But it turns into. - The milk, just like
there's no crunch.
- I think the key is to do this, Link, take some,
put it in your mouth and hold it and let it.
Let the body temperature warm it up.
- Use that mouth microwave,
your mama gave you.
You know what?
This is really hard to decide.
- It's not bad.
- It's really hard to decide if we really like it.
You know? I wonder if there is someone who we should bring in
who hasn't had anything to do with this episode
but might have a really strong opinion about
what this is, how great it is.
- Has a little bit of experience.
- [Crowd] Mmm.
- Chase.
Come on in here.
- She just handed me the biggest spoon.
- I mean, look.
We're big spoon, boys.
- Remember the good old days?
- Yours is bigger than ours.
- When you used to do this
-This is a real big spoon.
- Yours didn't look like this.
- No, no.
- But I got to say, yours did kind of taste like this,
- because at the end of the day, it's just meat and milk.
- Which is not something I'm looking forward to.
- Well, but the fact that it's dry to begin with.
Get a couple of dry pieces.
- There aren't many dry pieces left. Oh, there you go.
- And then use your mouth microwave.
- Yes, boss.
((Laughing))
- Rub it.
Taste it.
It's not bad.
- It's not great cereal, but it's not bad.
- Right, okay.
- But it is just meatloaf with a ketchupy thing.
- Is it better than what you did all those years ago?
Be honest.
- Yeah, there's a lot more effort put into this.
- You didn't try hard?
I thought you tried really hard.
You were just at, like, the limit of your ability.
- No, that is true.
- You just took meatloaf
and crumbled it and put in milk, right?
- Yeah. I mean, I think you guys actually did
a little bit more of the crumbling than I did.
- Oh, you just gave us meatloaf and said crumble it?
- All right, so, we're going to let you decide. Say it.
- Yeah, I mean, for cereal.
- [Chase] Meatloaf.
Will, it cereal?
No.
- [Rhett] Oh, dang, Chase.
- No.
- He settled the debate.
- He got his justice.
- Thank you, Chase.
- All right.
So, Stevie, what's the update on the crew tournament?
Are people happy?
- [Stevie] There was an upset today.
Not an upset.
It's just that you always hear me say, well,
Kalyn's in the lead and this is who's
behind her this time.
- Somebody took the lead?
Somebody new?
- [Stevie] Sierra took the lead.
- Sierra.
((Applause))
- Did you get all these right today?
Oh, four for four. Dang.
