- Which salsa should you dip your chip in?
- Let's talk about that.
(groovy electronic music)
- Good Mythical Morning.
- Joining us today is the Eva in My life As Eva,
YouTuber extraordinaire Eva Gutowski.
Welcome to the show! - Hello!
You have to clear something out of your throat?
(Rhett grunting) - He's like--
- Welcome to the show, Eva.
- You need to clear your throat too?
- No I'm good, I still have my--
♪ Let me clear my throat ah-na-ah-na-ah-na ugh ♪
- I still have my youth in me.
- Oh you think it's 'cause I'm an old man.
- Oh that's what it is. (laughs)
She got you. - I gotta clear my throat.
Okay.
- Eva saw me this morning-- - Let's change the subject
from my voice-- - She was like what happened
to your hair?
- I swear last time I saw you,
your hair was not gray at all.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, well it's been awhile.
- He aged like a president. - Yeah.
(Link grunting forcefully)
- YouTube's really got ya stressed.
(Link grunts)
- Oh, you wanna get into that?
- Okay how do you feel about salsa?
- You know, salsa and I have a love-hate relationship.
If it's spicy, I love it but if it's like mole salsa--
- Oh. - Okay.
- I can't do mole, I'm sorry.
- Okay well no mole here. - But I do like salsa.
- All right so you're opinionated, I think that's good
for what we're gonna do.
Of course Cinco de Mayo's comin' up so that means
if you didn't pay your rent you're four days late.
- Yeah.
- But it also means-- - Uh-oh.
- In that love-hate relationship you gotta skew towards love
because lots of salsa is gonna be consumed.
- Yeah, yeah. - So we are gonna determine
the best salsa that you can get off the shelves right now.
It's time for we're prepared-ay to taste this verde.
We want to know-ha what's the best roja?
Hey former California Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante,
we're about to name the best picante.
(chuckling)
That's about as political as we get around here.
- Okay here's what we're gonna do,
we're gonna be tasting salsas blindly,
we're not gonna know what they are but the brands
we'll be tasting in no particular order are:
Frontera, Tostito's, Newman's Own,
La Victoria, Pace, and Whole Foods 365.
- You sure that's not Pachay?
- Well you wanna call it Pachay?
- No, Passay, Passay?
- Pace.
- Pace. - Like paso doble.
- I don't know, I don't know.
We're gonna rank them each on a scale of one to 10.
That's the only thing I do know.
We're gonna combine our scores and then in the end,
we will crown the best salsa and that salsa
will win a kiss from each of us.
- Oh that's weird.
- I don't know about his throat clearing.
Maybe he goes last.
- I'm not sick! - Kisses last.
- I'm just like--
- Okay, and for the purpose of consistency,
we're gonna be using all chunky mild variations.
No mole. - And no spicy.
- That is what is the best-selling flavor on Amazon.
All right let's salsa.
- [Rhett and Link] Round one.
- All right we've got what we don't know brand here
and I don't know what chips these are either
but they will be consistent.
And again even though you may like spicy,
the mild is the best-selling and we can focus
on the taste and then infer that spice would only help.
- Hmm. - Hmm.
- It's a pretty thin salsa. - Yeah, yeah.
- I mean, they may say it's chunky but--
- [Link] Sure let's double dip.
- [Rhett] I found a chunk.
- This is giving me like college frat party vibes.
- Is that a good thing? - I mean not frat,
like frat barbecue.
- Frat barbecue, a little inebriated perhaps.
But not too much. - No.
- It does feel a little cheap, doesn't it?
- Yeah it feels like a college student
picked that up to be nice.
- Which is I guess why I love it.
- And now they can't afford their textbooks.
- I do, I like it, I like it.
- I like it. - Ain't nothing wrong with it
but-- - It wasn't bad.
- Nothing's really, it's not making a statement.
- It's super simple, it's a little thin for me.
There's nothing horrible about it.
I'm gonna give it a six on a scale of one to 10.
- I as well, six. - Oh!
- I would give it a four.
- Ooh. - Okay, a little salsa critic.
- I'll give it a five, I'll give it a five.
- No hey hey-- - No give it a four.
Stick with a four. - Go with your instinct.
- I mean it's not bad, it's not learning towards bad,
it's just really not special. - But you wanted to say four.
Don't let us influence you. - Four.
- There we go. - All right four.
- [Rhett] And that's a total of 16.
- [Rhett and Link] Round two.
- Look at this one, it's got some chunk to it.
- This one's looking better. - Yeah,
definitely chunkier.
- [Rhett] Oh that looks nice and thick.
Doesn't drip back into the--
- Oh look at that, it holds on the chip nice.
- Your chip's not holding together very well though.
- Oh, very salty, oh.
- I would say tangier than the previous.
- It's pungent. - Yeah.
- Oh I like that.
- So where the other one lacked a punch,
this one's making up the difference.
Givin' you more to experience which brings my score up.
But the taste is kinda the same.
It's like a punchier version of the previous, I don't know.
- It's like they just added tons of salt to the old one.
- It's still salsa.
- I don't know.
I have no clue what it is, it doesn't taste like Newman.
- This is La Victoria. - What does Newman taste like?
- Newman's tastes like-- - I'll know it
when I taste it.
- But Newman's like,
it's got that this is all going to charity vibe.
- Oh really?
- (chuckles) You know what I'm saying?
- Newman's gives me like white people buying salsa
and they are scared that it's gonna have a little
too much kick to it.
- (chuckles) You right.
(Link chuckles) You right.
- This one's La Victoria.
- I'm gonna give it a seven
'cause I'm just gonna inch it up the scale.
- A seven?
- I didn't love it that much.
- I'm gonna give it a five.
- I really like this one. - Really?
- I may have to readjust my scale,
but I'm giving this an eight.
I reserve the right to go above 10 in another round.
- [Link] Well I think that brings us to a 20.
- [Rhett and Link] Round three.
- Uh-oh. - Look, now this one
is just so red. - It's ketchup.
Which incidentally, when we went to London,
we were given salsa
and they gave us ketchup with onions in it.
- Ew. - Go ahead.
- So let's-- - This looks like it comes
in a giant industrial-sized tub.
- Yeah, this is one of the ones that comes in
like a Arizona tea jug.
- Oh my God, it actually smells like the ketchup.
- Oh wow. - Yeah.
- I really, guys, I have like a phobia of ketchup.
Like I actually do.
- Well I don't like tomatoes but ketchup's fine with me.
You're scared of ketchup?
- Yeah. - It's not that much different
than salsa. - This is brave for me.
- No but you're right. - All right.
- Looks just like ketchup.
- [Rhett] This has a very ketchup-y taste.
- Oh no no no.
- It's a very, this tastes like London salsa.
- All right.
- Is Tostito's in London? - Oh my God,
it tastes like if you order at a restaurant kid's spaghetti
and this is what comes on it. - Yeah.
(Link chuckles)
I give it a two, it's horrible.
- This is horrible, this is--
- I wanna say one but you never know, it could get worse.
- Now you thought the last one was La Victoria,
but I'm pretty sure this is it.
- Really? - Yeah.
I'm givin' it a two as well.
- I'm gonna give it a two. - That's a bad salsa, y'all.
- [Link] And that's a total of six.
- [Rhett and Link] Round four.
- Oh look, I can see things in this.
- [Eva] This one looks nice.
- [Rhett] It's also darker, doesn't look like ketchup.
I see actual seeds in there. - Seeds?
- That's good. - Like seeds from things.
- And look, I see onions. - Seeds is not good, is it?
- I like seeds, you're not a seed man?
- I like seeds.
- And it's chunky.
- See this is really confusing me now 'cause throughout
all the brand names, this looks good
and I just don't know which one it is.
- It's darker.
Let's see if the taste is spooky.
- Kinda sweet, why is it sweet?
- Man, it looks great.
It does not taste good.
- Why's it sweet? - It's really sweet but--
- It's also spicy. - It's spicy.
The seeds. - Yeah, yeah.
For this to be a mild to be this spicy, boy,
I'd hate to meet spicy on the street.
Hello, my name is Spicy, ooh.
- I really-- - That's how the conversation
would go.
I would say ooh. (chuckles)
- It tastes fakey at the beginning.
- Yeah, it gets better as you keep going.
- I do appreciate the effort they put into the spice.
It looks good, it ends good, the middle is real bad.
- Three.
- It's like my life.
- I'm gonna give this a six.
- Oh you like this one kinda?
- I mean--
- You like spicy. - Yeah,
but the sweet is just no.
- I'm going with a three. - Yeah.
- Three. - That brings us to
a total of-- - 12.
Round five.
- Here it is. - Wow.
This one's got like little, like black things in it
like it burnt some peppers in there which that's good.
- [Eva] That looks nice.
- It's also very, very bright.
- It's like a restaurant experience.
- This is like a nice one, like a homemade restaurant one.
I'm gonna get a little black thing in my chip.
- It smells like tomato sauce though.
- Oh it does. - Just straight up
Boyardee.
- It does, it smells like
canned soup.
- No.
There's a smokiness to it.
You know me.
I'm a smoky man, I like a smoky plan.
- Oh there's the smokiness but it's too sweet.
- You (chuckles), I don't taste sweetness at all.
- Really? - I only taste the smoky.
It's like someone just-- - Going in again.
- It almost tastes water-- - Smoked a cigarette
and just infused it. (inhales)
- Does it almost taste watery with a little smoky,
like smoky water?
- Yeah it's like a damp cigarette.
- Hold on but just give ti a chance for a second
'cause a lot of people like, for me being one,
like that smokiness of a,
I don't know what it is.
It's almost like a Chipotle.
I think there's a strong Chipotle flavor in there.
- It's like a tomato mezcal.
- Tastes like you made Chef Boyardee,
dipped a cigarette in it-- - With some mezcal.
- It's not my favorite, I gave an eight to my,
it's not as good as the one that I said was the best.
I like the smokiness but other than that--
- Are you going big? - It's not doing,
I'm going with a seven. - Okay.
- So pretty good but not incredible.
- I don't like smoky.
Unless it's with the bandit. (chuckles)
so I'm gonna give this, I gotta give this a two as well.
I just don't like it. - Oh come on.
- I'm giving this a three.
- [Rhett] And that brings us to 12.
- [Rhett and Link] Round six.
- Now this one has little black little checks in it.
I don't know if that's pepper or--
- [Link] Black checks?
- You know, black spots, and this might mean that--
- You said that about all of 'em almost.
- No, the last two.
- Oh gosh, what's happened? - You lost your chip in there.
- I'm like, I'm like-- - Oh!
- This is so chunky, look how chunky it is.
- This one smells like tomato sauce too.
- Man.
I would have never thought that salsas
could be so different.
- This one is very, almost sour, am I right?
- There's something strange happening here.
- Why are you laughin'?
You think I'm just makin' this up?
- I just don't know what this is.
- Oh, this is Newman.
Newman in a jar.
- And then it almost fizzles out with no taste whatsoever.
- Yeah it really is so mild on the end.
- On the end of it it's like you just got saucy water.
- You're like was I eating salsa?
- This is the last one and we've been really hard
on these salsas, like nothing has met
our standard of salsas, like what are we doing?
- This is a no.
- I could still eat the whole bowl.
- I'm actually fine with this one.
- And that goes with all of them.
- No I can't.
- This reminds me how much I don't think about
the food that I'm eating whenever I'm at a party,
I'm just like.
Somebody's like, you know, that was actually dog turds.
Oh! (Link chuckles)
It was in a salsa bottle.
- No matter what salsa ultimately shows up at the party,
I'm gonna be eating that salsa.
- Right, you acclimate to the salsa.
- Yeah yeah. - I give it a six.
- I give it a five. - I like it.
- Give it a five. - I give it a four.
There's no taste in that.
- That's a 15.
And Stevie?
- [Stevie] Okay so if we come in--
- What does that bring us overall?
- [Stevie] The weird thing is,
if this had been a brand guessing game, Link,
you're on it for some reason.
Like you were gettin' it.
But the salsa-- - Victoria, Newman.
- [Stevie] To shun is La Victoria.
You guys gave that a six. - Show that La Victoria,
guys, toss it over here.
- Yeah that was real bad.
- [Stevie] But you're gonna be kissin' up on
the Tostito's brand salsa-- - Really?
- [Stevie] 'Cause you gave that a score of 20.
- Boom, so worst and best.
I think you wanted La Victoria to be good,
so you can have that. - Ew!
- But see, it is watery.
- Was this the one that was like tomato salsa?
- Yep. - Yeah.
- Gross. - Congratulations Tostito's.
You are the winner, and let's kiss it.
You wanna go first 'cause of, well--
- Oh gosh, oh my gosh.
- I couldn't see it from my angle but--
- Well she used her tongue.
- All right.
I guess I'll use mine too.
(Eva squeals) (Rhett laughs)

- Uh I'm just gonna find the bottom
and give it a little peck.
