- Does your favorite product need a new outfit?
- Let's talk about that.
(cheerful music)
- Good Mythical Morning.
- And welcome to the end of our spring break,
AKA our limited Monday Wednesday Friday
three times a week episode schedule,
that means we'll be back in full force,
five times a week, Monday through Friday,
starting this coming Monday.
- All right, if Hollywood has taught us anything,
and I learn everything from Hollywood.
- Of course.
- It's that reboots aren't always better than the original.
But this ain't Hollywood, this is Burbank,
so we're gonna reboot whatever we want.
Hey, girl. Hey.
Hey. Hey, girl.
I like your reboots.
And in today's case, it's product packaging
that we are rebooting.
- Yes, let's reboot some packaging,
because arguably how a product is presented
and squeezed, squirted, poured, dolloped,
what have you,
is just as important as what the product is.
- You're speaking my language.
- English?
- Well, specifically, you know,
I think a lot about this stuff.
For instance, I only buy shampoo that comes in a pump top.
- Uh-huh.
- It is superior,
I could spend the entire episode telling you why.
- Great, please don't.
- All right, I won't.
We have completely reimagined
the packaging for popular products,
shampoo's not one of 'em,
the question is, are we packaging geniuses,
or weeniuses?
It's time for
"Slap Lipstick on a Pig and It's Animal Cruelty,
but Revamping Old Product Packaging?
Say Hello to Mythical Marketing Ingenuity."
(Link chuckles)
- Here's how this is gonna go,
we're gonna pit our product design
against the original to find out if the brands in question
should use this pack, or nah, that's whack.
And that's it. So easy, even we can do it.
- And we're gonna do it.
Okay, there have been some innovations
when it comes to toothpaste,
like charcoal powder, the toothpaste pill that you chew on,
and there's even those little disposable brushes
with the toothpaste already built into it.
- Wow, the future.
- But, where's the fun dip in that?
So, we have been inspired by Fun Dip,
this is such a fun little candy.
- Fun little candy.
- Can we bring this amount of fun into toothbrushing?
- And also flip the script,
because Fun Dip is probably not great for your teeth.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
- You know what I'm saying?
We need the kids to be doing the powder dipping thing,
but doing it in a way that helps them.
- Making dipping healthy again
with the Crest toothpaste powder packs.
Wabam.
- Look at that, the different flavors.
- Papapapapoof!
- Okay, so I got boring, plain old toothpaste
over here in a tube.
And some toothbrushes
if you ever wanna compare it to the original.
- I mean, from an environmental standpoint,
you got this not really ever fully empty tube
that you're throwing away.
- Horrible for the environment.
- But let's open these, all right?
You do a little rip right there.
- [Rhett] Just a little rip.
- [Link] Just a little rip.
- [Rhett] Oh my goodness. - And as you can see,
it says "Stick included."
So do a little... - There is a stick included!
- Look at that.
- Oh, and it's got...
- It's got all the powder on it.
- Do I take...
- If you wanna see the powder, there it is.
- Yeah, just put it on the table.
(crew laughs)
Okay, so I think-
(Link coughs)
Yeah, don't breathe it in too hard.
So you wanna just take some water...
Good gracious, that cinnamon toothpaste
just got in my eye from over there.
- I know.
- How did you do that? Why did you do that?
- You know what, I have an idea.
Let's breathe this in.
- Yeah, call it a challenge?
- And just call it a challenge,
that could be the entire video.
- Okay.
So I'm dipping that in the water, I'm going mint.
- [Link] Well you already had some mint on there.
- Oh, wow.
You don't have to dip too much.
Oh.
I needed a little bit more water.
- I'm gonna go with the cinnamon.
I guess I am doing the cinnamon challenge.
- [Rhett] Don't breathe in.
(crew laughs)
- That is some really (indistinct).
- Little children's teeth...
Children's teeth and gums, I don't think can take this.
- They can brush the teeth right outta your mouth.
This cinnamon flavor's too much.
- It's very strong.
They're very concentrated.
- That's spicy.
This spicy, I'ma need to foller it up with some bubblegum.
I gotta bubblegum my-
- [Rhett] Actually, that's a good idea.
- [Link] Bubblegum my mouth.
- And it's okay to share packs?
Is it okay?
- As long as you don't double...
- Can you double dip Fun Dip?
Wasn't that frowned upon in the kid community?
- In those days, no one thought about that.
- Yeah, that's true.
That was before viruses existed.
That was just when you had cooties to worry about.
The CDC didn't say anything about cooties.
- If you snort this, will it clean your teeth?
I just, this is not a pleasant experience.
- The Center for Cootie Control, the CCC.
- I mean, it says that it's ADA accepted...
- I'm the president of the CCC.
- But I think that's just because
Twinkle Fingies wrote that on there.
I don't think this is accepted by any dental association.
- I like that bubblegum flavor, though.
That's good.
- I just don't like the powdered toothpaste,
but if we're really just judging the packaging,
it is fun, I think it's gonna turn a lot of people on.
- Oh, yeah, I'm turned on.
- To brushing their teeth with powder.
- And look, it's easy cleanup.
You know?
I mean, we didn't make a mess.
- I wanna say yes, but everything that we've experienced
is definitely saying no, right?
- I know this is bad for the environment,
but I just wanna demonstrate,
just so you remember what it's like.
I mean like...
(crew chuckles)
- It's kind of a straightforward,
pleasant experience. - Oh yeah, that feels so good.
- Okay, good point.
Crest toothpaste powder packs in Fun Dip form?
- [Rhett] Nah, that's whack. - That's whack.
Everyone has experienced the struggle
with the glass Heinz ketchup bottle,
so I mean, they've already redesigned,
upgraded their bottles throughout the years,
to become more user-friendly.
You could still argue
that there's some superiority in the glass.
But, I mean,
you can't argue with the ease of the squeeze bottle.
But is this the final frontier?
Is there more upgradability here?
- I did both.
I did both, I did do it in one spot for dipping,
and then I did it all over,
because people have preferences, man.
- And that's good, you're showing that there is versatility.
But is this better?
Heinz ketchup in a sprayable bottle.
They do not sell this.
- Really?
- And Heinz is not a sponsor.
This is constructed by Mad Dog Lucas.
- [Rhett] Uh-huh.
- We have not used this thing.
- Hopefully he got all the poison chemicals outta there
before he gave it to us.
- I find myself just instinctively aiming it at you.
- Well, let's aim it at the fries first.
So if you were presented with this on a table...
Now first of all, are you a dollop in one spot and dip,
or are you a put it all over?
- [Link] I'm a dollop guy, 'cause...
- I'm a dipper, too.
Man, I'm pretty messy in general, but,
I'm still a dollopper. - 'Cause then you gotta
think about where you're grabbing the fry.
I am very anti-spatter.
- Well, how are you gonna like this?
Because this is gonna, I mean this is like...
Oh god.
- It's not even hitting the... - You have to kinda let it
recharge.
- [Link] I don't...
- It's kinda just putting a coating.
An even coating, all over the fries.
- I'm covering my boobies.
I thought this would be bigger.
- The ketchup is so thick
that it takes a second to get the pressure back.
Nn. You have to do that "Nn."
Okay, so there's just a nice coating.
- I don't know if you can tell, but like...
- I missed a little bit.
- [Link] Talk about spatter, it is everywhere.
- I could change it to make it-
- It's like a crime scene.
"Oh, someone used the spray ketchup here,
and then removed the plate."
- Okay, this is more in a string.
Oh.
- [Link] No, it's not.
- [Rhett] What...?
- It's coming out like this.
- Maybe it had a rough night last night.
- I mean, have you ever...? (Rhett chuckles)
Are you talking about-?
- Nothing! Nothing, I'm talking about nothing.
- You talking about when you pee?
- No, I'm not talking about anything!
- And it's like two streams?
- Yes.
'Cause he had a rough night.
- I don't know why that's a rough night.
- Actually he may have had a good night.
- Is that why?
- Doesn't that happen to you?
- Oh, it happens, but I didn't make the correlation.
- You know what, I'll tell you about that later,
you can tell me about your shampoo.
- If you don't have a wiener and nobody's told you,
sometimes you pee and there's two streams that come out.
You know that, Stevie?
- [Stevie] I've been learning a lot today.
- I got two little toilets on Saturday morning.
I can't spray it anymore, I broke it.
- I mean, sometimes I'm like,
"I'm peeing in the toilet,
but somebody's peeing on the wall!"
- Yeah, you're like
"Well I guess I should aim the bigger one for the toilet."
- I mean, is it just the two of us?
- No, no, no.
- Nobody's speaking up, nobody's like
"Yes, I'll help you champion this cause
of the bifurcated pee stream."
- Oh, Lucas is giving a big thumbs up.
- All right, let's try to stay on topic.
- Okay.
(crew chuckles)
- You know what? Screw it.
I think we could, I don't know, put it on TikTok
next time it happens.
Just make sure you crop out the wiener.
- I think it'd be a good- - Like, I wanna prove it.
- It'd be a good
POV (indistinct). - Stevie, it seems like
you're asking us to prove it.
- [Stevie] Absolutely not.
- On TikTok.
Follow the Mythical TikTok.
- You can't even really taste the ketchup,
but I'm gonna go over here.
- I'm gonna spin this positively and say,
this is a nice, almost imperceptible coating of ketchup.
- For when you want ketchup,
but you don't want anyone to know.
- Yeah. Yes. Yeah.
You know what I think we could do?
I think this might do it.
- Oh, nice. Okay, yeah.
Now you can dip.
- I mean, we're not scatterers.
We're not sprayers.
We're dippers.
- Hunters and scatterers.
- Look at that. So, hey.
- Yeah, this is not as good as the original,
so we're saying Heinz sprayable ketchup bottle?
- [Both] Nah, that's whack.
- Real quick, we wanna let you know
that Mythical has a brand new website that's live right now,
Sporked.com.
- You know, here's the thing,
we have tasted and ranked
so many different categories of food on this show
that we realized, "Hey, it's actually informing
what you are deciding to buy at the grocery store."
So then it hit us, "What if we made a tool,
a website, where you can quickly find
the best of what you're looking for all in one place?"
So, that's what we made!
We made Sporked.com.
- In addition to our opinions,
our Sporked team is taste testing everything
from chocolate ice cream to hummus to dill pickles,
and sharing their expert top picks with you.
It's awesome!
So head over to Sporked.com to find out which foods
you should be buying,
and get the behind the scenes look at the team tasting foods
on our Sporked TikTok and Instagram.
- Uh-huh.
Very excited about that, Sporked.com.
All right, next up we're tackling Cheez-Its.
Bring these in.
So, okay.
- Got him.
- Okay, you got him, Rhett. That's good.
Now this is a beautiful packaging, it's bold, it's orange,
it's red, it's white, it's nice, it spins.
Open this thing up.
- It's fancy.
- When you dig into Cheez-Its-
- If my kids are watching, guys,
this is how you open the top of a box.
You jerks.
- They just like rip it apart like wolves?
- Yeah, I mean open the bottom, they got no sense.
- So it's a bag, you can pour 'em out,
or you can, usually you'll reach into the bag,
and you're touching a bunch of 'em,
even the ones that the next person who reaches down in there
is gonna be eating.
- What a flavor, you know?
- So I definitely think there's room for improvement.
And then we noticed, "Well look,
there's a little bitty hole there in the middle,
I wonder what that's for."
I wonder if that's begging to be threaded,
you know what I'm saying?
So we have updated the packaging.
Cheez-It on a string.
- Oh, yeah!
Why stop with string cheese when you can string Cheez-Its?
- I'm excited about this one because,
you know, it's...
I've never had it before.
- "I'm excited about this one
because I've never had it before."
- 'Cause it didn't exist.
I mean, you pull out the drawer,
and then...
- You just grab a string and pull.
- Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
- You're not even, I mean, you're not even halfway through!
I mean this is just one string!
(both laugh)
And look, the beauty of it is,
you don't even have to touch it!
- The beauty of it is, it can touch your whole body!
(crew chuckles)
The beauty of it is, you don't have to touch it,
but, it immediately turns into flossing your teeth!
Like, I'm eating Cheez-Its and flossing.
And you are crazy, man.
(crew chuckles)
You should've eh, eh, eh, ah...
Agh!
(Link yells)
(Rhett laughs)
- I need water.
- And, you got some right there,
you can also string 'em up
like Christmas lights in your house.
- Oh, yeah, you can decorate.
- As like a form of decoration.
So...
- Man.
I went through-
- Lean back and get you some of that.
- I went through a couple dozen Cheez-Its
before I even knew what I was doing.
- Do a limbo.
Oh, here he comes.
Train's coming into the Cheez-It station.
(crew chuckles)
Wow.
Should've known this was gonna happen.
Look at that!
Oh my gosh.
(crew chuckles)
(crew laughs)
- I'm having the time of my life!
Man!
- This is awesome, man.
Cheez-It, oh, you just blew chunks all over me.
- I'm sorry.
- [Link] Cheez-It on a string?
- [Both] Use this pack!
- We're cleaned up.
- Okay, so, we got one product design
that we really think should be a thing, so Cheez-Its,
I mean, y'all saw it in action, you know it's great,
I mean, call us.
- And hey, this is a lot of fun.
