- We're about to go donuts.
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
Good Mythical Morning.
- Now you may be tempted to think
that the first food ever eaten by people
were like berries or like some sort of twig.
- Rocks. - You know, some sort,
something natural,
but you'll be wrong
because the first food
ever to be eaten by ancient civilization was the donut.
- What?
- Not true but I'm just trying to make it seem historical
and big because of what we're doing today.
- All right, which is a blind taste test to determine
if we can determine what donuts we're eating
without the use of our eyeballs.
And also determine what's the tastiest
without being influenced by marketing
or looks.
It's time to play.
- [Advertiser] "Yo! Which donut to switch 'doh-nut?"
- As you can see, we can't.
- The donuts that we will be tasting today
include Krispy Kreme.
- Dunkin' Donuts.
- Winchell's.
- Entenmann's, which is the box of donuts
you get at the grocery store
when somebody told you to get donuts and you forgot.
- 7-Eleven.
- And the LA based donut shop
that makes a hundred percent vegan donuts.
That's vegan, I said, Donut Friend.
- All of the donuts will be delivered to us
on the patent pending donut dowel
which is not just to stick with donuts on it.
No, it is a product not to be sold yet,
the donut dowel.
- Yes, and the winner of this exercise is gonna be crowned
the donut king.
Let's do it.
(upbeat music)
All right.
So you can give an answer more than once.
Is the dowel coming in?
- [Director] Yep, it's right here.
- But you know,
you're gonna get something wrong if you do that.
- Oh, there it is, oh baby.
Oh, just be in the presence of a donut.
Sometimes.
Where, where are you, baby?
Where?
Oh, no, roll it, roll it on my face.
- I got it.
- Did you go sideways?
- Got a nice, nice little glaze.
- Okay. - Did you get one over there?
- I'll tell you this is some kind of caky.
- Little dry.
Although, I would think that you would think
that this is too dry.
because you're sensitive to the dryness
of cakes, donuts and skin.
- And I really don't like donuts with skin
so you're right there.
- I gotta tell you that the feel of the donut on my face
(people laughing)
affected me emotionally.
- What?
- Makes me cry, I loved everything about it.
But then when I bit it, I was like,
little dry.
- You got a face feel.
- I put my whole mask on it.
- Man, this one's tough.
This one there is striking me as a signature
I don't know, I think it's too big to be Krispy Kreme.
- It's very big.
- It's very caky,
but not caky enough to be Dunkin' Donuts.
- But you, is that how they do their donuts?
- They don't, they bake theirs.
- Yeah, but it was too big for that too, isn't it?
I haven't had,
I haven't had a boxed donut in a long time.
They're not that big 'cause they gotta fit in the box.
This is just so difficult.
- Like that's this so difficult that it alters my voice.
- All right, I'm ready.
- [Director] All right.
Three, two, one.
- Winchell's.
- Whoa. - Whoa,
did we win for the odd ball?
- Did you put up a 'W' with your hands?
- No, I went like, like this.
- I didn't either.
(upbeat music)
- Alright, let's bring the dowel back in friend.
- I will say that, you know,
this is a great day at the office.
- Are you rolling it with your nose?
You wanna get all sides.
- Oh, oh. - Oh, oh.
- [Link] Why is it elusive?
(people laughing)
- I think I may have just eaten the donut off of the dowel
- Hmm. - This donut tastes
totally different than the previous donut.
The glaze is more glazey than flaky.
- Hmm, that's a good donut.
- It's moist.
- It's vanilla-y.
Like the donut itself.
- Hmm, that is unlike anything I've ever tasted.
- I don't feel like.
- It tastes like a donut though.
- I don't feel like I would encounter that at a gas station,
but maybe I would.
I haven't been to 7-Eleven in a long time.
They've really been doing a lot of the food stuff
at 7-Eleven. - You're trying.
You're trying hard.
- It's like a freaking restaurant in there.
- You look at the pictures on the wall outside of 7-Eleven
and you think that you were walking into like a El Toritos.
- Or a museum. - Or that.
- Hmm, man that's.
- Does that taste like a box?
- That was a big one.
- Maybe all donuts are bigger than we anticipated.
I think it was the same size as the first one.
- You know what?
- Maybe donuts have gotten bigger.
- I think this is V. - For the past month.
- [Director] All right, here we go.
- I think the vanilla is giving away the 'V'
which is vegan.
- [Director] Three, two, one.
- 7-Eleven. - Donut Friend.
- I think you might be right about that, friend.
- Yep.
(upbeat music)
- Dowel me. - Oh.
- Oh, this one's got a hard surface of--
- Really?
- Get all sides.
Oh, there's a soft side.
Oh, okay.
(people laughing)
Oh.
- Okay.
I used a suck technique to get more donut in my mouth.
Almost choked, but hey,
being killed by Krispy Kreme on the internet,
it's not a bad thing.
- Oh, you, you see,
you think, you know, this is Krispy Kreme.
I know this is Krispy Kreme too, man.
And, I'm gonna tell you something,
you don't know because you're blindfolded.
- You're not blindfolded?
- Because you're blindfolded.
- Oh, you gotta be blindfolded.
- I bit it, it fell into my mouth,
got a little moist
and I ate some more of it.
- That is a good donut.
- Krispy Kreme donuts have a fluffy nest.
Like when I stuck my nose into that thing,
it gave,
it received me.
- Krispy Kreme donuts receive you.
- When I put my mouth around it, it smushed together.
It, it received me.
- How did they do that?
How did they do that?
It's like, they make a donut and then they kill it
and then the ghost of the donut rises
as the donut that you eat.
- You're exactly right, right?
- It is a ghost of a donut.
Krispy Kreme has, is killing donuts
and giving the other ones to Dunkin' Donuts.
- Yeah, so the dead donuts go to the Dunkin'?
- They go to Dunkin'.
- And the ghosts stay at Krispy Kreme?
- Yes, that is what's happening.
We figured it out.
- [Director] All right, I need an answer.
- Krispy Kreme. - Krispy Kreme.
- [Director] Krispy Kreme in one, all right.
- Krispy Kreme, that's right.
Yeah.
(upbeat music)
Okay, bring it in.
- They're starting to blend together.
- No, they're not.
- This one's distinct.
- I made myself choke.
Oh, there it is.
- This one received me too.
- Oh. - Oh man.
Good gracious, that's a good donut.
My Atlanta, that's a good donut.
Is that not the best donut?
- Oh my gosh. - You've never eaten?
- That's a ghost donut too.
- Yes, that is the--
- That is the ghost of a ghost donut.
- Would you agree with my statement that I haven't made yet?
- I agree with it, whatever it is.
- This is heads above all other donuts we've eaten so far.
- Man, it sure is so good.
- That is the best donut I've ever had in my life.
Who made this donut?
- Well,-- - Entenmann's.
- I feel like I have a predisposition
to feeling that Krispy Kreme is the best donut on earth
and so I kind of feel like I'm really torn at this point
'cause I feel like I just had a Krispy Kreme donut
and then I feel like I just had another Krispy Kreme donut
that was better and fresher.
- There's only one accessible Krispy Kreme donut
around here.
There's only a few dunking donuts.
So I'm hoping this is 7-Eleven.
I'm going to wish guess that this is 7-Eleven
just to manifest that truth.
- It wasn't quite as soft.
- It was everything I ever wanted from a donut.
- [Director] All right, an answer in
three, two, one.
- Krispy Kreme. - 7-Eleven.
- I double crispied.
- I know you did.
That was a really good guess too
'cause 7-Eleven was just a wild hairy guess just.
- You could be right.
(upbeat music)
- Dowel me, Chase.
- Oh, this one smells different.
- Oh, so different.
And it's got a ridge that goes the full length.
You know what?
They should exchange donuts at weddings.
And they 'cause they make that illusion to like,
your love is never ending, ending like a ring.
They could do the same thing with donuts
and it would be less expensive
and everybody would feel better.
- This one has a lemony undertone,
very caky.
This is not a great donut.
- Okay, I know where this is from.
This donut has been on a truck.
(people laughing)
- A lot of Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme are on trucks.
- No, this one's spent a little too much time on a truck.
- This one's been in a box on a shelf.
That's what I believe.
- Well, it's been in a truck link.
You don't have to follow it to the shelf.
- I did not hate that donut,
but after after going to donut heaven the last round,
I'm back on earth
and I'm in a grocery store aisle.
- Here's the thing though.
It tastes so different that it could be--
- Vegan.
- That it is vegan.
It could be that it's vegan.
And I think that vegan donuts can be good.
- What is a vegan donut anyway?
- It's just a donut with no animal products in it, Link.
That's what vegan means.
- Don't pat me condescendingly.
- The things that they've usually put in like butter
they put in something like oil.
- Or apple sauce?
- I feel like this could be, this could be vegan
but it could also be on the shelf.
- [Director] All right, three, two, one.
- Donut Friend. - Entenmann's.
Yes, we disagree.
You'll be okay. - Okay.
I'm not the one asking what vegan means.
(upbeat music)
- I haven't guessed Dunkin' Donuts neither have you.
- Yeah, I haven't guessed Dunkin',
I haven't guessed.
- 'Cause I feel like Dunkin' is very obvious
and I'll know it when I, when I--
- I don't think what we guessed
needs to have any impact on what we are guessing.
- This is like a crueler.
- Oh that is so and is so soft.
It's so big, what?
Hmm, oh, it's really good.
But also very different.
- Donuts are bigger when you're blindfolded.
You should blindfold everyone before that.
What's that noise?
Somebody opening a Ziploc bag again and again?
- I taste something distinct.
I do not want to tell you what it is.
'Cause I do not want to give you the answer.
- Cinnamon.
- I could be wrong, but I feel right in my gut
where that donut is descending right now.
- Man, that is a really good donut.
- It's good.
- It does have that little something that's different.
- Little something that's different.
And I don't think it's as bad as being on a shelf.
- It has a freshness to it.
- You know, you would call that a freshness.
- What I tasted in that donut
was the influence of other items that aren't donuts.
- Like somebody made donuts in a pot
where they made like corn dogs.
- No, like it's been sitting in a place
where there's other items.
Lots of other items.
Meat products,
like a veritable Mexican restaurant.
- Like could you buy kites?
- You buy a kite there, you can buy a map, you know.
- Man.
- [Director] All right guys, I need an answer.
- Nope.
- [Director] In three, two, one.
- Donut Friend. - Donut Friend.
- I ain't falling for you
'cause I know that there's something different,
'cause you may not know what makes a donut vegan,
but it's not.
It's the, they don't use animal products.
And when you replace those with something else,
you can taste the hint of those things like cinnamon and--
- Yeah, they replaced that. - And apple sauce.
- The animal with cinnamon. - Right.
- That's how they make it Vegan.
- Cinnamon does taste like grease.
- It was very good though.
By the way, I think I only guessed
two different things the whole time.
- All right, so going into the Franken round
where we're gonna eat a Frankenhole,
where do we stand at this point?
- [Director] All right, Rhett, you have two right.
- Yeah, buddy.
- [Director] And Link has one, right?
- Yeah, buddy roll.
Yeah, that's right.
You gotta guess multiple times
it's gotta get something right.
- Man, and I will say that all,
we're both bad at these blind tastings.
- Well, this is tough, man.
I mean, how many donuts do you eat?
I've never, I never see you with a donut in your hand.
- I never turned down a donut.
- [Advertiser] Frankenhole.
- Okay, it's on the spoon, that's different.
- Whoa. - Okay.
- That is huge.
That's a huge donut hole.
It feels like an intact donut hole.
It doesn't feel like you mushed together two donuts.
Did you refry it? - [Director] Nope.
- It's got a soft side.
- Is there a pat, is it a powdered donut?
- No. - Part of this
tastes like icing.
- Well, there's glaze on it.
- But something about the consistency of the Frankenhole.
This is nearly impossible.
- I think I've got guess though.
I did my patented left to right.
Move the contents across your mouth,
across your tongue and taste it as it goes.
- I think I've got one of them.
'Cause I didn't know any of 'em
except for one by accident probably.
- I feel like I should just guess things
that I didn't guess before.
- Okay, I'm ready.
- [Director] All right, in three, two, one.
- Entenmann's. - Entenmann's.
- And Donut Friend. - And Dunkin'.
- Oh, we both said Entenmann's so man.
Although, I have no chance of winning now because--
- You can take the blindfold off.
Oh, you got, you have a little something on your nose
and on your chin. - Oh really, do I?
- Although, I think it might be donut.
- Could it be?
- Okay, let's hear the results.
- [Director] Okay, so after the Franken round,
Rhett, you have three rights. - Hey.
- [Director] And Link, you have two rights.
- Oh, you got one, I got one, but you got left in me.
- So the Frankenhole was Entenmann's?
- Yes.
- And what?
- Krispy Kreme.
- Oh, so you got that totally right?
- No, I didn't, I said Donut Friend.
- Oh, I almost said that, dang it.
I couldn't.
- I almost said what I didn't.
I didn't say what you almost said
but it doesn't matter.
- And which one did we love the most?
- [Director] You loved round number four
which was Krispy Creme.
- Yeah, we did, best donut ever.
- Okay, I'm the donut king,
but I will let you into my court
as long as you wipe that off your chin.
- Thanks for liking, commenting and subscribing.
- You know what time it is.
- I'm Bethany
and this is Ali

Click through to Good Mythical More.
Well, we're gonna eat donuts off of the string.
I'm told it's amusing.
- In a world where underwear are hats.
- In a world where underwears are hat.
- You don't exchange hats with people
- [Director] On your mark.
Get set.
Go.
- Oh.
(people murmuring)
- There's so much donut.
