Can we tell the difference between fresh
- and frozen food? - Let's talk about that.
♪ (intro music) ♪
Good mythical morning!
We live in the future. Anything that you want to eat, you can get it in prepackaged
frozen form. You just pop it in the microwave and it tastes exactly like the
fresh thing, right?
- Wrong? - Question mark!
- I don't know! - But we should find out today because
today we're gonna put our taste buds to the test to see if we can tell the
difference between the fresh and its frozen counterpart of foods. Let's do this.
As you can see, we can't.
Okay, we're gonna be presented with a dish in two forms; one is fresh, one is frozen.
- We taste bose of them - both of them! - Bose of them.
After we taste both of them, we put the (Both) frozen flag in the one that we think is frozen.
The loser at the end of these shenanigans has to wear a Frozen costume that is frozen.
Yes. Let's do it.
Okay, the reason we're blindfolded is because a lot of people think you can just
tell the difference by looking at these and the thing is, people say, "Oh, when
it's frozen, I can totally tell. It's just not as good." Well, maybe that's true,
- maybe that's not. - Yeah maybe.
- We're gonna find out just by the taste buds. - You don't wanna be swayed by the looks.
Let's go for the left one first. And this is - um, okay I got a slice.
- Some weird entangling that's happened. - (laughs) Sorry.
- Awkward. - I wasn't trying to hold your hand.
- It's a thin crust. - I'm just feeling it here.
It's got a good smell. I am hungry, not necessarily for pizza but okay.
Mhmm.
- What is this, a barbecue pizza? - Tastes like California Pizza Chicken.
Pizza Chicken (laughs)
- But it is a barbecue chicken pizza? - Yeah.
- They've given us nothing to go on, here. - I have an immediate impression of this one.
- I don't wanna give you what I think that is. - Give it to me, it ain't gonna help me.
I don't listen to you anyway.
- I'll tell you right now, I don't think it's good. - (crew member laughs)
Yeah, well that's what I was going to say. It feels like this, like that--
- You know what? - might be frozen.
And then over here. (Rhett) I'll take this one.
(Link) Okay. (Rhett) This one feels so similar, though.
It does, the weight and the thinness.
(Rhett) What pizza is this y'all?
I went for crust first, that was a fail.
Huh.
- This one tastes exactly the same. - It's the same pizza.
I mean, I'm telling you right now brotha, they have duped us from the sti-zart.
I think I know exactly...
I'm trying to put my pizza down.
(inaudible)
I was trying to trick you, man.
(laughs) You trying to trick me?
(Rhett) Yeah, right there.
- Alright, I'm making my vote. - I made my vote.
I'm taking my glasses up.
- Oh, we agree! - Okay, alright.
Okay. (Rhett) So this is frozen town over here?
- (Link) Is this frozen town? - (Drew) Yes.
- Alright. - (Drew) You guys are both right.
- Yeah we are both right. - And I think by looking at it, I mean the
chicken is a little more cubicle-ized.
Yeah that's, you know what, that's why the blindfolds help--
- Uh huh. - because that would've been a dead giveaway.
- (Link) We're just frozen geniuses. - (Rhett) I thought this was pretty good.
- Mac and cheese. - Let's start over here on my side.
- Okay. I'm told there's a spoon for you and there's a spoon for me.
- (Rhett) Are you out yet? - I'm not out but I'm hovering and I'm
getting close to the mouth.
I don't have any idea if I've even got stuff on this spoon but I'm going for it.
- Should we feed ourselves or...? - Yeah we should feed ourselves.
(Link laughs) Wow.
- That is really good. If that's frozen... - Then take me to the frozen aisle.
- Yeah buddy. - I like the pepper in it.
- Yeah I'm getting a little bit. - (Link) What are you - you going in for
seconds? Then I'm going in for seconds.
- You know what, forget it. - Man!
Man, you over there having a good time, I couldn't even find it again. Alright, and
then we're over here. That's my hand.
- (Rhett) That's my spoon. - (Link) Alright, so this spoon's - I'm
- assuming it has something in it. - Oh I feel weight, I feel weight on the
end of that one.
Hm, bit of a letdown. But it's very classic tasting.
- You know what? - If I hadn't--
- This could be a curveball! - Just tastes like straight out the box.
It's fresh pasta, not fresh - you know what I mean, never frozen. Hmm...
Man, if that's frozen, I'd like to meet the man who freezes that.
Either this is nasty frozen or that's frozen but trying-real-hard-to-compensate-
for-being-frozen frozen.
I feel like...you know what...
I think you're over here so I'm gonna go over here.
I feel like...There's nothing to stick it in at this point.
- Oh wow, there's a lot to stick it in. - (Link) Alright.
- Take your blindfolds off. - Oh we did disagree. So you believed
- against the curveball. - This definitely tasted better but it--
- This is amazing. - be like some gourmet--
- I really, I think-- - frozen dish.
This doesn't look like the box stuff. It's got like some crumbs on it. Alright, let us have it.
- (Drew) Rhett, you're right. - Yeah, I'm right!
- Woo! - Who made this 'cause I'm coming over for dinner.
Let me just a little bit more of this, it's really good.
And we're gonna get some green beans going on here. Now, I'm used to like,
green beans fresh out of the garden. Am I actually grabbing a bean? What's happening here?
I'm just going - I'm just going straight bean.
I grabbed a bean, I'mma eat the fork. Are you on the left, first?
Yeah, your side.
Okay.
- (crew laughing) - (Rhett) Huh.
Dang, these are raw.
Pretty al dente.
That's a fresh bean right there.
It almost just tastes like I'm eating grass, though.
I don't think if you thawed a frozen bean it would be that crunchy.
(Rhett) Not true because they're fresh frozen versus cooked frozen, Link.
- (Link) Where's my fork? Where the fork - okay. - These are better but they're not seasoned.
(Link) I'll tell you right now, this one has half the flavor of the one on the left.
(Rhett) Really? I feel like one of them - this one - that one - this - this one -
feels like it's had a constitutional change in its - in its makeup.
(Rhett) Looks like we're... (Link) Oh are you voting?
- (Rhett) Little agreement over here. - Oh, we do. Yeah, look at that. So were we right?
- (Drew) You're both right. - Yeah we are!
Yeah, I really - I mean I really thought it was half the flavor.
Constitutional change.
I think this is like the quintessential fresh versus frozen debate. I know that my
wife is always like, "We have to get the frozen fish because I can tell the
difference." She talks just like that when she says it.
- Well, I'm staying out of this one. - (Rhett) Let's start over here on my side.
(Link) Now - but is this a salmon patty because my nanny would always make a
- salmon patty but not a salmon steak. - There are no patties on an actual
salmon, Link. I've looked salmon up and down, one side to the other, I never saw a
- patty. But I've seen a fillet, though. - Okay.
(Rhett) Go ahead and take your bite.
I don't really know how I'm doing here. I might have to bring in a--
(Rhett) Why you keep hitting my fork?
You might have to bring in the left hand.
(Link) Ooh, okay. (Rhett) This side smells good, that's all I can say.
Alright, I got something here. Have you got yours?
- No, I was waiting on you. - (Link) Sorry.
- That's more than a bite. - Yeah, I thought I had too much at first.
Had to touch all over it. Are you ready? Alright I'm eating.
(Rhett) Yeah, I'm eating.
- (crew member laughs) - Mmm, that does taste good!
Hold on, I didn't think you were a salmon man.
I'm not, I should've blindfolded myself.
Are you telling me you've only ever eaten salmon in patty form and now this is your
- first introduction to a salmon fillet? - Yeah.
Well welcome to the club, man!
- I didn't like the way it looked. - (Rhett) You're telling me you haven't
- eaten it because of the way it looked? - Maybe it's I really only prefer frozen salmon.
(Rhett) Alright, what have we got here, oh there it is.
(Link) Nothing?
There's certain points when being blindfolded hinders the process of eating.
- I got such a small amount. - (crew laughs)
(Link) Dang, you know what? (Rhett) This is good too, man!
Also good over here!
What is happening between sticking it and bringing it?
(crew laughing)
Something tells me you're having a little bit of trouble.
Man, I brought my fork over like four times now. And it's just...
- (crew laughing) - What is--
Use your finger.
Oh, I feel weight now.
- Oh! - (crew laughing)
- Where did it go? - It's not over here, man.
- (crew member) On the ground. - It went on the ground?
- (crew laughs) - Dangit!
- Well you're gonna have to vote, man. - Hold on--
- I'm sorry. - I'm coming--
- Time is up, dude. - I'm coming in two-handed.
- I gots to say... - I don't know man, they're both so good,
there's no clear choice here. I might just have to bow out on this one.
- (Rhett) Yeah there's no clear choice. - But we probably should vote. You should
- go ahead. - Yeah, I did.
- (crew laughs) - Oh, me too.
- Oh we disagreed, too. - Oh!
Yeah, I thought this was better than this one just by a little bit.
This felt like it still had some of its muscular...
(Link) But even looking at it, I can't tell the difference. Drew? Am I tying it up or no?
(Drew) Link, you are incorrect. (Rhett laughs)
- Two down, man! - Man, Link.
I'mma have to put that Frozen dress on if I don't play some catch-up.
You are!
- I'm down two to four! Man! - You could still come back because rounds
- five and six are both two points apiece! - Oh yeah!
You can make up the difference. This is the breakfast sandwich round.
(Link) Bringing out the spider hands. (Rhett) We're gonna start on your side?
(Link) Yeah, over here. Okay. This one's soggy on the bottom.
- Is that just a straight up egg on the bottom? - No, I don't think so.
Oh man.
It's good, though.
Yours is good?
- I just like to eat, man. - I caught the tail end of this breakfast
- sandwich and it threw me for a loop! - You don't like it?
(Link) Tough, man.
- It's like bread jerky. - That's an English muffin on top though, man.
- Oh, is it an English muffin? Yeah, okay. - All day long, the English like their
muffins a little tough just like them. Just like them.
I'm coming over here.
- I thought they-- - I'm only touching my side, okay?
I thought they were crannies.
- (Rhett) I only touched the one on the right. - (Link) Wasn't there crannies in nooks and crannies?
- On the inside. - It is that, isn't it?
(Link) I didn't believe in these in my house growing up.
Really?
I didn't even know these existed until I graduated from college.
(Rhett) I've almost eaten the whole sandwich.
(Rhett) I just like a breakfast sandwich, I really do.
I'm getting good at just finding my paper towels.
This is tough but you know, I'm making my decision based on the taste of the sausage
- alone because-- - I know where the sausage comes from and
- I've had this particular one. - Mhmm.
- That's my... - (Link) Yeah.
(Link) Are you putting it back or are you voting?
- I might be throwing you off, man. Did you vote? - (Link) I did.
- Oh! - We disagree again and I think I'm
nailing it. Clearly, I've nailed it just by looking at it. Tell me I'm right, Drew.
- (Drew) Link, you're right! - Hey!
This sausage, it was actually too sausage-y, like - is this from Mickey D's?
- (crew member) Yes. - Yeah, Mickey D's, the sausage is not
overly sausage-y, it doesn't dominate the sandwich in a way that uh...a frozen
- (Link) sausage does. It's trying too hard. - (Rhett) That is good, I gotta just keep eating.
You tied it up.
If I may say so, I've eaten a whole lotta lasagna. If lasagna is on a menu, I'm
gonna order it and if I go down a frozen aisle and it's in there, I'm gonna pluck
- it out and microwave it. - Okay, let's start over here on my - oh!
- (Rhett) Oh, it's just a plate with lasagna on it. - Alright, I found a fork. That's a big slice.
- (Rhett) You're in my territory, man. - (Link) That's a slab of lasagna.
- We cut the same piece? - I think we are, yeah.
- I have no idea what's happening. - (crew member laughs)
(Rhett) I'm gonna go for it. I have no idea what I've--
(Link) I feel good.
(Rhett) Oh, no that's not gonna work.
- (Rhett) Hold on, you're already eating over there? - (Link) Mhmm.
- How much do I have? - (crew laughs)
I'm just gonna try.
- I've never been done wrong by-- - Oh, I got - I got a big bite.
- You got a big bite? - Yeah - oh!
(Link) Open the hatch! It's like you're eating all of Italy.
- It's so good, though. - It is good. I've never had a lasagna do
- me wrong, that's why I think this is gonna be tough. - It's the perfect thing to freeze.
- Right, right. - Where we coming, over here?
(Link) I'm getting a new fork here. There's your fork.
- Oh, new fork. - (crew member laughs)
(Rhett) This a corner piece?
(Link laughs) You just forced my fork through the lasagna. You're trapped!
I gotcha right where I want ya!
- Okay what have we got here? - (crew laughing)
(Rhett) I'm really glad..
I'm really glad that uh...
- Oh! - (laughs) You were faking your--
I was trying to get in there and I wanted to deliberate. I was trying to--
- I know, I was gonna do the same thing! - And then we - our flags hit, man!
(Link) We were both gonna fake each other out. Oh, I don't know.
You can do a rule change? Now that we can see it?
If you allow me to. I want to change my answer, are you cool with that?
You can change it if you want.
(Link) I wanna change it 'cause this is better and it's frozen.
- That's-- - I stand by my decision.
- I might have screwed up. - Okay.
- (Drew) Are you ready? - For the win, who's right?
(Drew) For the win...
- (Drew) Rhett. - Yes!
- Dangit. - Hey, but you know what - who made this
- lasagna? - Stouffer's.
- Eddie made this lasagna, guys! - You made this from scratch?
You're gonna get a second title around here: Lasagna Man.
- What about Lasagna Boy? - Lasagna Boy.
- (crew laughs) - And uh...how about Tuesdays and
- Thursdays you do that for everybody? - Well then he would be called Lunch Lady.
- (crew laughs) - 'Cause he's got a job to do. But you
know what, congratulations.
- You got lasagna on your hand. - I do.
I made a mess.
Alright, so I will wear the frozen Frozen costume and distribute it all over social
- media. Thanks for liking, commenting, and subscribing. - You know what time it is.
Hi, I'm Ryan from Nashville, Tennessee and I made you guys a snowman!
And it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality.
You wanna see Eddie make that top notch lasagna? Well you can do that on this
week's episode of Good Mythical Crew. That's tomorrow morning on this channel.
Yes and click through to Good Mythical More 'cause I'm gonna put on this frozen
Frozen costume and we're gonna play Don't Break the Ice: Frozen Edition.
- Oh I get it. - I'm gonna be good at this, better than lasagna.
Rhett and Link learn how to blink.
- Hey, are your eyes very dry? - Yeah man, we gotta do something about it.
- Yeah I know. - We should learn the blinking thing finally.
I think I just accidentally did it but don't worry about that.
- Oh yeah? - Yeah. I think blinking is when you...
- Close. 3...2...uh...can't do it! Try again. 3-- - I don't think there's any muscles there--
- 2-- -It's just weird.
Uh...
