- Today we ask the age old question.
- Will it Dippin' Dots?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat electronic music)
- "Good Mythical Morning."
(Stevie mimicking phone ringing)
(Rhett mmhmms)
- Okay.
All right.
- Who was that?
- The future called.
They say they want their ice cream back.
- What?
The future wants to strip us of Dippin' Dots?
Oh, I have so many questions.
What did the future's voice sound like?
Did he sound like the rapper?
Why did the future call you instead of me?
And the most important question.
If we "GMM"-ified the ice cream of the future,
would it then be the ice cream of the present,
and we'd therefore be able to keep it forever?
- There's only one way to find out.
It's time for-
- [Rhett And Link] Will It Dippin' Dots?
- Okay, s to be considered a Dippin' Dot,
all you need is a creamy base, and some liquid nitrogen.
Look.
Look at that.
- It's the future.
- They're real.
- Yes, I always get a little excited when I
see a Dippin' Dot because.
- Oh, so fruity.
- My wife spent a summer in Santa Cruz
working at a Dippin' Dots shop.
- Oh, I didn't know what you were gonna say.
- She would send me pictures.
- Of her Dippin' Dots?
- Oh yeah.
(hosts and crew laughing)
All right, if you thought the Mythical Kitchen
couldn't recreate Dippin' Dots in form,
but also create them with brand new,
never before tasted flavors,
then you haven't been paying attention!
'Cause they've done exactly that.
- So, if Dippin' Dots has changed
the rules of ice cream form,
then why can't the rules of when
you eat ice cream change as well?
But personally, I think ice cream has the potential
to be a routine breakfast choice, specifically pancakes.
May we present, International House of Dippin' Dots,
AKA IHOD-duh-duh-duh.
- IHOD?
- IHOD-duh-duh.
- Josh, what did you do?
- [Josh] So, the base layer there, that is pancake flavored.
- Oh my gosh. - Then you have your
syrup flavor Dippin' Dots,
and your butter flavored Dippin' Dots.
- Syrup, butter, and good, this is crazy, man!
- [Josh] Yeah!
- So, do we wanna taste them separately first,
and then mix them? - No, no,
I'm gonna mix them.
- [Josh] Wait, we blended real pancakes into the mix.
- I'm gonna do it the way that I would do it.
I'm gonna do it the way I would do it
if I was eating pancakes.
I would put butter.
And then I would put.
- Well, I'm mostly interested in just the pancake one,
so I'm eating that one alone right now.
- Syrup, and then I would put it all in my mouth like this.
Well- - That is a really good-
- I'm getting real mixed up here.
- Flavor.
- [Josh] Yeah, we soaked the cream in actual pancakes,
and then we blended some pancake into that
before dropping it in the liquid nitrogen.
- This is a revolution.
- But what is the process?
- Or a revelation.
(crew laughing) - I mean,
I know you said what you did,
but then what did you actually do, like?
- [Josh] So, Dippin' Dots are made using liquid nitrogen,
so, we drove to an undisclosed location
to pick up a giant tank of liquid nitrogen
that we are all super prepared to handle.
- Is that, that's illegal?
- [Josh] You know, ish, we're not really sure about that.
No one asked.
- Why is my tongue burning?
- It's not burning, it's freezing.
- [Josh] Pass.
That's for IHOD-duh-duh-duh LLC to figure out
in the lawsuit. (crew laughing)
- Oh, I love everything about this, man.
- This is so good, man.
- This is what all food's gonna be like in the future?
It's all gonna be dots?
- It's all gonna be dots, man!
- And is your wife gonna serve us all?
- Nope.
- Oh, okay.
(crew laughing)
- We're gonna be,
we're gonna all be serving her, my friend.
- Oh, okay, I just, I mean, I just had this vision-
- She's gonna be the queen.
- Of your wife just funneling Dippin' Dots
into my mouth for every meal.
- Yeah.
- How does that make you feel?
(crew laughing)
Come on, no, I made him drop his dots!
I made him drop his dots!
I got under his skin a little bit!
- Annoyed.
(crew and Rhett laugh)
And you know, my therapist told me
that annoyance is just a form of anger.
- Oh, well, then just go ahead
and bypass the annoyance, and be angry.
- I'm pissed.
Leave my wife outta this.
- Hey, your wife is in the future, I can't help it.
- Is that an apology?
(crew laughing)
This is so good.
Nothing, no- - Back to this.
- This cures arguments!
This is great.
- [Rhett And Link] Pancakes, will it Dippin' Dot?
Yes! (bell dings)
- Swamp water, you may have called it a graveyard.
Yeah, I'm talking about a chaotic mixture
of all the soft drinks in the. (hissing)
- Fountain, they call that.
- Fountain.
It's a childhood tradition of every adult's past.
But what about the future?
- Ooh.
- Let's make swamp water.
We're calling it a dip in the swamp.
- Oh, I get it!
(crew laughs)
Because it's like Dippin' Dots is the name
of the thing that we're doing,
and then one of the ways to describe
getting into a body of water is to dip-
- Yeah!
- And swamp is a water form.
- Smella-dat.
- Doesn't have much smell. - There's no scent.
- That's the thing about ice cream,
I've smelled a lot of ice cream in my day.
- Yeah. - And because it's cold,
the molecules are too still.
- Course, we're going with the Big Gulp
and the Slurpee straw.
- Josh, Josh, what's going on in here?
- [Josh] All right, so we made ice cream bases,
and then we infused that with Coke, Sprite, orange soda,
Brisk iced tea, fruit punch, Dr. Pepper, and Mountain Dew.
And then we froze them all separately,
and there you have it.
- Look at the smoke coming off of that.
Look at that, Link.
- That's definitely smoke.
- They're on fire! - It's on fire!
Oh gosh.
You really have to be careful, I think-
- Good!
- I know, this one's so-
- This is so cold.
- That- - You got one right there,
you know, pretty close to your junk.
- Oh, it's, my crotch is burning!
I mean, it-
- And you just did it on me!
- It does feel like you're, it's burning.
You gotta have a layer of some sort of like saliva,
before you drop this bad boy down.
- I think you just have to do it all the way
in the back of the throat
without it touching any of your mouth parts.
(Link hoots)
- [Josh] That might be dangerous.
- (laughs) Josh was like, ah!
Even Josh decided that we should not do that.
Put it to the side.
- [Link] Does this have any Dr. Pepper in it?
I can actually taste- - Yeah, it does.
- The Dr. Pepper. - Yeah.
- It's got, Coke, Sprite, Brisk iced tea-
- It's so weird.
- Fruit punch, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, now-
- I'mma try just to get the Mountain Dew-
- If you saw an adult,
'cause I'm just trying to put this into perspective.
If you saw an adult doing a graveyard-
- I just saw an adult!
- If you, doing the graveyard thing.
- Yeah? (laughs)
- Would you lose respect?
Like, if it was like a dad- - Definitely, definitely.
- At a soccer party, and all the kids were doing it,
and he was like, well, I, don't mind if I do,
whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
- If the kids are doing it and he joins in, that's cool.
- Oh, he's doing it to show off-
- If he's a- - He's a cool dad?
- That's cool.
If he's alone, and you walk up on him, and he's like.
That's weird.
- Okay. - That's weird.
- So, we're a little bit weird eating this,
is what I'm saying. - I mean,
and this is coming from a man who is a complete child.
- Well, that's true.
- Don't say anything.
(crew laughs)
I don't- - No.
- I just don't love this.
It's like, there's a reason why soft drinks have flavors.
So that you can taste them. - So that you can taste them
instead of combine them.
- Not, see, you know, it's like, it's-
- You're not wrong.
You are a child, but you're not wrong, child.
- Child, child, who's the child?
- Okay, I agree.
Swamp water, will it Dippin' Dots?
- No! (buzzer buzzes)
- Okay, so we all know it would take a miracle
for Link to like tomatoes, but maybe,
just maybe the magical process of turning bacon, lettuce,
and tomato into frozen little bubble ball ice cream
is exactly the miracle we need.
Presenting the BLTDDD.
- [Link] Josh, what did you do?
- [Josh] Is the frilly toothpick still in there?
- Yeah. - Yes.
- [Link] So, just like it would be in a sandwich.
- (laughs) You get it. - Whoa,
it's an ice cream sandwich.
- Whoa!
- All right, so we've got pink ones, which I'm gonna void.
- Bacon, tomato.
- That's tomato?
- [Josh] The pink one's the tomato,
there's some browner ones that are bacon.
- [Link] The browner orange-ish looking ones are-
- Bacon. - Bacon.
(Josh mmhmms)
And then.
- Green.
- [Link] What are these moldy looking ones?
- [Josh] The moldy looking ones-
- [Rhett] Lettuce!
- [Josh] Yeah, are lettuce, and then-
- Lettuce ice cream?
- [Josh] The sort of cream looking ones
are mayonnaise and bread.
- Oh, mayonnaise and bread in just one dot?
- Oh. - Uh-huh.
- That sounds good, and I got a big clump of that.
I'mma start with just the mayonnaise and bread.
- I'm taking it all in, brother.
- Whew, that mayonnaise and bread.
Whew, that's tough.
It's real tangy. - Oh!
(crew laughing) - It's not bad.
- Oh, don't commit as hard as I did.
- I'm, I know, I'm not gonna do that.
I'm just gonna try a little-
- Oh my gosh!
- I'mma try some of the-
- Try the bacon.
- The bacon.
- The bacon is so.
- Just alone?
- That's the tomato.
(crew laughing)
I'm gonna try this pink one that we just said was tomato.
- Hold on.
I'mma keep trying it.
- It might be good, you like ketchup.
'Cause this is like, you know, a translated tomato.
- No, you know what?
Josh, you said it backwards.
The pink is definitely bacon.
I was wondering why I was able to eat it.
- [Josh] Hmm.
- And then the- (crew laughing)
- Oh, it is, yeah.
- [Josh] Yeah.
- 'Cause you get liquid smoke in there.
- [Josh] Yes, yeah, that was fortifying the bacon flavor.
- It's actually not bad.
And then I'mma try the lettuce.
- Well, what's the straight tomato taste like?
- Oh!
That's the worst, dude!
(Link spitting) - Hmm.
(crew laughs) - Fish food!
- You know what?
- Fish food!
- You're not gonna mind the tomato,
because it tastes like ketchup.
It doesn't taste like a tomato.
- [Link] So, let me try the tomato,
and I'm only gonna try the tomato.
- It's pretty tangy, it might be the best one.
- Wow.
- Is that not good? (crew laughs)
- Good gosh.
- It's good, it's flavor packed.
- Oh, whoa.
- Yeah, see?
Look at what's happening.
- How?
- Miracles before your very eyes.
- So, yeah, because it tastes like ketchup concentrate,
which, you know, you had to do something.
- [Josh] Ah, you know our methods.
- Oh, am I right?
- [Josh] It wasn't ketchup, it was a freeze dried tomato.
- Right. - And then some-
- But the processing of it gets it, takes away
the texture of the tomato, which is a big part,
I think, of why you don't like tomatoes-
- So, again, when I eat it all together now.
- [Rhett] I'm doing it without the lettuce.
- The tomato was definitely better than that lettuce,
which, that is a loser.
Everything together?
Oh!
- Do it together with no lettuce and it's not too bad.
(Link spits and groans)
- The lettuce is so bad, why is the lettuce so bad?
- 'Cause lettuce is bad.
- [Josh] It's an uphill battle, man,
trying to create lettuce Dippin' Dots.
- [Link] BLT, will it Dippin' Dots?
- No! (buzzer buzzes)
- Don't know if you noticed my amazing new sweatshirt.
Oh yes, I have, I've been thinking about it this whole time.
Awoo!
Oh, I've also been noticing how I'm on this shirt!
- I wonder if you could talk to Stevie now.
- Stevie, I think this is your first appearance on my belly.
(crew laughing)
(laughs) She says. - Hey.
Oh, did you?
Hey.
Oh.
Oh, oh, oh gosh, (laughs) I've never felt like this!
(Rhett laughs)
- What?
- [Stevie] So many things to be done with this shirt.
- Look what's happening to your face. (laughs)
(Stevie laughing)
- This is a freaking cool sweatshirt, get it at-
- You can do that at home! (laughs)
- Get it at Mythical.com.
- Stick your hands in your own shirt.
(Link howls)
That's cool, man, those are cool graphics.
- We're like wolves, man.
- It's like ironically cool, you know what I'm saying?
It's like ironically cool. (crew laughing)
'Cause it's like kinda cheesy, but like,
if you went to a gas station, and you've got one,
you would be like, I'm cool, 'cause I have this.
You all know what I'm saying?
- Right.
Many things have been cryogenically frozen.
Fruits, vegetables, and Walt Disney's head.
- Yeah.
- But what about raw fish, seaweed, and rice?
- Yum!
- Take that, Didney.
Here, we have Poke Dots.
Poke Dots.
- Did you say Didney?
- Didney.
- Didney, Didney?
- He did.
(Rhett and Link laugh)
Didney World.
- He got his head frozen, Didney?
- I'mma go to Didney World.
- Hey Josh.
- [Josh] Hey Rhett, how you doing?
- What'd you do?
- [Josh] Well, I made all my smoothies in the morning
smell like fish, 'cause we blended a lot of fish
into a lot of ice cream bases.
And then we- - Oh my God.
- We kinda just dropped it in like the nitrogen,
and then there's also avocado, seaweed,
and onion in there as well.
- Ah! - Tuna and salmon,
by the way, they were the cheapest.
- And you- - I just got to a point
where whenever my family would be like,
let's get Poke Bowls, I was like, okay, and I'll get one,
(Rhett laughs) and I'll like it.
- Okay. - Kinda.
You're gonna ruin it for me.
- [Josh] I don't think so.
- There's rice on the bottom. - I mean, keep an open mind,
come on.
Eat some of the rice. - Dink it.
- There's rice on the-
- [Link] The rice is extremely frozen.
- [Rhett] Oh, the rice is also frozen.
- [Josh] Yeah.
- I'm trying get as much as I can
on here of all the flavors.
- I feel like I'm gonna have to start grabbing parts
with my, like a spoon.
- I'm definitely afraid of the, yeah,
this isn't working, dude.
- I'm putting it onto that.
- [Link] Let's just do this.
I'm really afraid of the green ones because-
- Oh, that worked.
Well, the pink ones are the fish ones.
- [Josh] No, no, the green one's the fish ones,
the pink one's and seaweed ones.
(Link laughs)
- You're joking.
- [Josh] I am joking, but now I wanna see what Link does.
- I'm just gonna eat what's on my shpoon.
And now I'm gonna air dink it.
- Meh.
And sink it.
It's not,
(spoon clinks)
it's not half bad, Josh. - Hey.
- Is it like frozen caviar, kinda?
- [Josh] In caviar, the eggs of the fish,
this is the whole body that we just threw in a blender.
- This isn't that bad, Josh.
- No, it isn't.
- [Josh] Not like the bones, we didn't eat the bones.
- I am surprised that it's not as bad
as the lettuce part of the BLT.
- It's like, I can appreciate the balance
of a Poke Bowl when it all becomes ice.
- I mean, it still tastes fishy, but it's not so fishy.
It's, the froze-ness takes the fish-ness away.
- Hmm.
- Oh, I just got, I just got something, a bad part.
- Hey, don't make that face.
(Link spitting)
Don't let anybody know.
Do you make that face when you get a bad part
of the Poke Bowl at home?
- I make this face.
- Dad just, dad definitely is not happy right now,
but he doesn't want us to know he's not.
- Thanks, kids, your treat. (Rhett laughing)
- Hey, I was not expecting it,
but Poke Bowl, will it Dippin' Dots?
- Yes! (bell dings)
- It's been a long, long time
since we've had a century egg.
Feels like it's been, I don't know, 90 years.
- Yeah.
- So, before we can decide if Dippin' Dots
can handle the essence of this Chinese delicacy,
let's get reacquainted with the century egg.
I'm sure you're excited about this, Link.
- Oh my goodness.
- [Rhett] Josh, how does this happen again?
- [Link] We've eaten this before?
- Yeah, at some point.
- [Josh] Yeah, I believe the eggs are buried in lye,
and then it solidifies the white,
and actually turns it
into a sort of black ashen consistency.
And it has this very sort of gelatinous,
some would say sulfuric taste, but I really enjoy them.
(Link coughs) - Oh gosh,
it smells so strong.
- [Josh] Lean in though.
You know, life's boring as it is,
you know, lighten it up with a century egg.
- My life is not really boring.
It's not a problem I need to solve by eating this.
- Feels like I could clean like grout with this,
you know what I'm saying?
Like, it's got this strong cleaner-like,
well, let's eat it, and live a little bit-
- [Josh] I just did my time.
- Dink it, (mmhmms) sink it.
It just is a very strong hardboiled egg, like.
(Link coughs)
Very sulfuric.
- [Stevie] I'll taste, give me some.
(Link spitting)
No, no, not that me. (crew laughing)
- Give that to Stevie. - Ew.
- [Stevie] No, not that me.
- This me.
This me wants to try it. - Oh!
Stevie who now.
Stevie can taste things now?
(Stevie laughing)
- Hey Stevie. - From the shirt?
- Hey Stevie, you wanna try some?
- [Stevie] Yeah.
- Some century egg?
- [Stevie] Yeah, yeah.
- [Link] What'd you say?
- [Stevie] Yeah.
- Open wide.
- [Stevie] Dah.
(crew laughing)
Om nom nom nom nom.
- Oh gosh. - Nom nom nom nom nom nom.
- How's that?
(Stevie mimicking phone ringing)
(Rhett and crew laughs)
Hello, Stevie?
- [Stevie] Oh no, you have to do the voice
of the person on the other end,
and that was not part of the deal.
- (laughs) No, you were supposed to say,
I love it, (laughs) or something.
(crew laughing)
Or just something like that, like, that's, hold on.
So, hold on, we just constructed a world
in which Stevie on Link's shirt can taste things,
but the only way she can talk to us
is by then calling me on my air phone,
(Stevie and crew laughing)
to which I answer, and say, hello, Stevie?
And she says?
- [Stevie] It was good.
- It was good, it was good.
- It, it-
- I love this universe!
- It wasn't great.
All right, so, now that we've experienced the century egg.
Oh.
- Let's see if they can be in Dippin' Dots.
100 years of Dippin' Dots, bring it in!
- I don't know.
It's pretty.
- [Rhett] It is pretty.
- [Link] Is purdy.
- So, how did you, you took the yolk, and the egg white,
and made two different ice creams?
- [Josh] We did, yeah, but it's-
- [Link] It's like a sea foam color, I love that.
(Josh mmhmms)
- How'd you make it green?
- [Josh] I don't, we, listen, man,
we just blended a lotta stuff,
and put it in the chemical that
we don't know if we're licensed to have.
(Rhett laughs) That's what we did, man.
- I mean, I know this is gonna be better
than eating the egg.
- 'Cause it's colder.
- If it's decent, we can market it as decent,
like, actually decent. - Yeah.
- Not gonna, it's not gonna- - What?
And isn't it interesting that the ice cream
of the future is reaching back into the past?
- Yeah.
- 'Cause that's what this is, it's supposed to be like a egg
that was just like buried for a hundred years.
- I really do think we have made ice cream of the present.
- Yep.
- That's weird.
It's the weirdest ice cream I've ever eaten.
- Here's what I'll say.
- It's very eggy. (Josh laughs)
Very eggy.
- If you like the taste of a century egg,
you will love this ice cream,
because it is this like- - Oh!
- Very pristine representation
of that sulfur taste that you get in that yolk.
- Yes.
- It's weird, like- - It's better.
- I'm not a huge fan of that taste.
- Ah!
- But it's like a milder, like, more dialed in taste.
- It's milky, but still very eggy.
Like, even, I'm now getting an experience
of what egg ice cream would taste like.
- I think egg ice cream would be a great idea, again-
- If it's turnt.
- For people who like that taste so much.
- Like egg custard?
- Yeah, but like egg custard on steroids.
- And then in the future?
- In the future!
- From the past, bring it right here.
- To the present.
- So, as much as I didn't like this,
this is a nice little decent gimmick.
- It's such a great translation of this,
even if you don't like it, that I think,
I mean, I feel like we've gotta say,
century eggs, will it Dippin' Dots?
- Yes! (bell dings)
- Totally on board with that. - It was,
if that's what you're into.
- So, I'm speechless.
- Yeah, me too, man.
- The things that were,
I thought would be the nastiest actually worked.
When you Dippin' Dotize something,
and you make it super, super cold,
it makes it kinda, kinda palatable.
- Right, but I'll tell ya, the crowd pleaser was that,
was the first one. - The pancakes.
- The pancakes.
You could sell that to anybody, anywhere, at any time.
- I don't care who you are.
Subscribe and click the bell, please.
