- Leggo my Eggo cereal.
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
- Good mythical morning.
- Now, we know that you're a Frosted Mini-Wheats man
and also a Raisin Bran Crunch man,
but if you could turn any food into a cereal,
what would you choose?
- Unconditional love. - That's not a food.
- Followed closely by "Wind Beneath my Wings" cereal.
And then I would pick a crunchy bite-sized version
of cinnamon toast.
- Okay, so two of those are not foods.
The other one is already a cereal.
I would create Beanie Os.
Well, today we are going to be tasting
some actual cereal is based on foods,
mostly decadent sweets,
and then finding out which one does it the best.
It's time for Super Snack Flavor Match:
Snack Cereal Edition.
- Yeah, we're gonna try a line up of cereals
all spun off of and created in the image
of actual snack foods, snack cereals.
And then we're gonna try the very snack foods
on which that they have been based.
And we're gonna compare them directly to each other.
- I understand. Okay.
And then we're both gonna rate the cereals
on a scale of 1 to 10,
based solely on how much they taste like
and capture the essence of the snack they represent,
Not necessarily how much we like it, okay?
This is how well it does its job.
The cereal with the highest overall score
will be declared this snick-snackiest cereal of all
and will be accordingly, forever named Snack Cereal Brian.
I got the sticker ready. Let's go!
(upbeat music)
As it turns out,
giant Debra sent us an interdimensional email
to give us the inside scoop about this brand new
Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies cereal.
She said it's delicious and we can never doubt Debra.
We don't ever doubt Debra.
- I am very excited to try it. Got those here.
We'll taste this first, but do you have the milk?
Pouring it's kind of my thing.
- I don't have the milk.
- I know who's got some milk.
- [Both] Giant Debra, hear our call.
You are big and we are small.
We hunger for your oatmeal treat,
creme pie is all we want to eat.
We pledge our loyalty for all you do.
Giant Debra, please come through.
(both groaning)
- It worked again!
- Hey. - Hey, Lincoln. Rhett.
- Yeah? - You gotta stop summoning me
for all these trivial things.
I have Debra things to do in my own dimension.
- Okay, well, don't make us feel bad about it, Debra.
- Thank you. We just liked seeing you.
- It's good to see you again.
- I tried to help you out with a good recommendation.
It's gotta stop.
- Okay. - It's got to stop.
- She's got an attitude.
- She can't help but show up when we summon her though.
(Rhett laughs) - Right?
She's bound to the spell.
- Yeah, I love it.
- Okay, you wanna pour and then let it sit for a second
and then eat? - No.
- 'Cause we gotta eat these first.
You wanna pour it and eat immediately?
- Yeah. - So the original taste here.
- I don't see any cream on these things.
- [Rhett] The cream is in the milk.
I think that's the idea.
- Well, it says crispy oatmeal puffs with a cream coating.
- It does have a cream coating. Okay.
- If you look at the coloring here,
when they get wet, they kind of turn the right color.
- After taste very similar.
Beginning and middle taste not similar.
- [Link] They're very airy.
I expected them to be more crunchy,
even though an oatmeal creme pie is not crunchy at all.
- I've gotta go back in for the creme pie.
- There's a gingerbread taste to the cereal.
- There's a gingerbread taste to the oatmeal creme pie
and you can taste it once you've tasted the cereal.
- I never knew it was there.
The cereal has just taught us something about the creme pie.
- I love being taught things by cereal.
- Always listen. - This is actually not bad.
I think it could be significantly closer,
but I'm gonna give it a six.
- Once you pointed out that spicy, I'm going with seven.
- [Rhett] Okay, that's a total of 13.
(upbeat music)
- Next up we have the classic Oreo O's.
Can they capture the true flavor
of America's favorite cookie?
- Now we've had these on the show before.
- Top four! - And the cereal.
And we liked it, but we didn't have it side by side.
- Let's see, 13 grams of sugar per serving
in comparison to my favorite Raisin Bran Crunch,
this has 19 grams of sugar per serving.
- Yeah, you thought you were making
a semi-healthy choice, not happening.
- The crunch associated with this blows me away.
You really get a sense that you're chewing an Oreo cookie.
It's the same level of crunch.
- It's a really good cereal.
How much does it tastes like an Oreo?
(cereal crunching)
- Exactly like an Oreo. - Really?
- [Link] I would say like 8 out of 10.
- I don't know.
I think it tastes less like Oreos
than the oatmeal creme pie did.
- You do? - I'm gonna give it a five.
I think it's a really good cereal,
but I think it's more of chocolate cereal,
not necessarily Oreo cereal.
- [Link] Well, that gives us a total of 13.
(upbeat music)
- Candy milk lip balm, clay pomade, beard balm, hand lotion,
a hairbrush, travel bag-
- And a musical comb that plays the GMM theme.
What? Listen. (GMM theme playing)
What, what, what, it plays the theme? What?
- Mythical.com get the brand new, redesigned,
and expanded mythical grooming collection.
It's also at amazon.com/mythical.
- Okay. Now we have Hershey's Kisses cereal.
I don't know if it should exist.
I didn't know it existed until right now.
- A Hershey Kiss, it packs a chocolate punch,
so I really expect this cereal
to knock my chocolate socks off, you know what I'm saying?
I gotta say, when I first saw this box, I had-
- You liked it. - I had a negative reaction.
- [Rhett] Oh, I didn't.
- I don't know. I didn't like it for some reason.
- I like looking at things
that look like I shouldn't be getting into them.
You know what I'm saying? Like, ah, you shouldn't do that.
You shouldn't eat that.
(Link slurping)
I shouldn't have eaten a Hershey's Kiss right before it
because it exposes the cereal.
- Yeah. This is totally different.
They just made a chocolate cereal.
The shapes are not even like a Hershey's Kiss.
It looks more like a dag-gone chicken leg.
- I mean, they tried.
- [Link] Maybe that's a Hershey's Kiss.
- [Rhett] They tried. From a certain angle.
- It's all about doing it the right way.
There's no flags in here.
If it was full of paper flags- - You'd be into it.
Not a huge fan of this.
I don't think it tastes that good
and it doesn't taste like Hershey's Kisses, three.
- Yeah, I agree. I'm gonna go all the way down to two.
For a total of five.
(upbeat music)
- Peep, peep, peep, peep- - You hear that?
- Peep, peep, peep, peep- - Yeah.
- It's the Peeps cereal talking. It's not me.
- Peeps cereal. - How do you know it's not
the actual Peeps?
- It's not just for Easter anymore, y'all.
It's mostly sold around Easter,
but we already got our grubby little hands on some.
- Who wants Peeps all the time? Anytime they want them?
- This is nothing but pure- - Sugar.
- Sugar. Sugar.
And then you look at it and this is only 13 grams of sugar.
- [Rhett] Still less than Raisin Bran.
- [Link] A lot less.
- It's unbelievable.
- I'm trying to get all the colors in here.
And interestingly enough,
there's no marshmallows in the cereal.
- But taste it.
It tastes like the marshmallows from Lucky Charms taste.
In every bite.
- And I applaud them for that.
Not going the route of little mini marshmallow peeps
in the cereal.
That seems like the obvious choice.
- Now, I don't know if it tastes like a Peep.
It tastes just like a marshmallow from a Lucky Charm.
- Oh, I'm wrong.
There are actual Peep marshmallows in there.
- Oh, you're right!
- They were just hard to find.
There's not many at all.
- [Rhett] That's what I was tasting.
- There's one.
I don't like it, but I gotta give them credit.
- Very consistent.
- I think I'm gonna give it a eight.
If you like peeps, you'll be happy with this.
- I'm giving it a seven.
For a total of 15.
(upbeat music)
Well, they said it couldn't be done, but they did it.
They made Drumstick cereal.
Let me just make a couple observations about this.
First of all, this cereal that you're looking at right now,
that's a Drumstick cereal, has less sugar
than the cereal that you eat on a regular basis.
But the second thing is- - And I eat it a snack.
I never eat it for breakfast,
so I should switch to one of these.
- Yeah, you should switch to Drumstick cereal.
The people who make this stuff,
is there a point in the boardroom,
in like the brainstorming process where they're like,
maybe we shouldn't do this.
Maybe kids don't need Drumstick cereal.
And then somebody is like, no.
- That's the parent's job.
Our job is to make it, it's the parent's job
to tell them not to eat it.
I will say the packaging is absolutely beautiful.
It's designed by the same team,
but it's made out of cereal.
I absolutely love the look of this
and I am super excited to give it a nice little dip.
- Everything is in here.
- There's wheat and corn cereal cone pieces,
and then there's ice cream flavored scoops,
and then cocoa nuggets.
- That's pretty dang good. It feels wrong though.
- I think they should've put more sugar in it.
12 grams of sugar per serving?
You could have bumped that up a little bit.
I feel like it's missing sweetness.
It's gone to cone heavy.
- I'm gonna give it a six. I think it's still pretty close.
- I'm giving it a five
and I'm just feeling a little disappointment,
but I give that packaging a 10 out of 10.
- But that's not what's at stake, so that's a total of 11.
(upbeat music)
I'd like to point out quickly that, Link,
you were admiring this box.
This is the back of the box.
Sorry, this is the front of the box.
You still admire it? - Well-
- You wanna change your score? - I like the front too.
No, I don't wanna change my score.
- 10 out of 10.
- I'd say the back of the box is more important.
That's where I do most of my daily reading anyway,
the back of cereal boxes.
- Not much to see there. - Beautiful. All right.
Apparently Eggo thought,
we're dominating the breakfast market, but not enough,
so we need something more, cereal.
- Now, we put maple syrup on these
because this is actually one of the two flavors.
They can come in blueberry,
but also this maple-flavored homestyle.
- [Link] It looks like Honeycombs. I'm just gonna say it.
- Say it.
- They put Honeycombs in another box and called it Eggos.
There was a groundswell of support
for Eggo to not take this away.
In 2019 on Twitter, a user pleaded with Kellogg's
to bring back the cereal, 'cause they did take it away.
And then in November they did bring it back.
- Holy moly. - Power to the people.
- That tastes exactly like an Eggo waffle.
And this is a man who ate Eggos almost every morning
for his childhood.
- It smells just like that plate.
Smell it. - I think...
- Wow. - It's just not a smell test,
but we did it.
- I mean the crunch- - Nine!
- The crunch is...
That's just so much more, but-
- Not only is it- - Wow.
- A really good cereal
and it also doesn't seem too ridiculous like a Drumstick.
I know that's not what we're testing here-
- You could eat this for breakfast-
- But this is breakfast already!
- Not have to hide it from your mom if she walks in.
- You can feel normal again.
- 15 grams sugar? They're pushing it a little bit.
I like that. I like that.
I also give it a nine. - Whoa, really?
- For a total of 18. - Wow!
(upbeat music)
- Cookies off the starboard bow!
Chips Ahoy cereal incoming!
You see, I'm doing ship talk is what they call that.
- You gotta do a better job of saying the word starboard.
- [Both] Starboard!
- Starboard! - Starberd!
- [Link] Eat a cookie.
A Chips Ahoy! - This feels like
it's gonna be like Cookie Crisp.
- Now, a couple of tidbits, before you dig into this cereal.
There are real cookie bits in here.
- I don't believe it.
- But some people hail it
as the greatest cereal of all time.
Other people don't like it.
Got that crunch.
- I would think I was eating Cookie Crisp,
but I haven't had that in a long time.
- They've nailed a cookie taste,
but is it the Chips Ahoy cookie?
- It's good. - It's real good.
- It's close. I'm giving it an eight.
It's pretty dang close. It's no Eggo.
- You know what? I'm gonna give it an eight as well.
I agree. - For a total of 16.
But that means that with 18 combined points,
Eggo waffle cereal is the real winner
and will forever be crowned Snack Cereal Brian.
- And it's gonna be crowned right now.
- Now you know, if you wanna get something
that tastes like Eggos, you get the Eggo cereal.
Everything'll be great.
- Eggo, don't you wanna get on a sponsorship?
Come on, hook us up.
I'm not saying that's why we did this.
We're just being honest.
- And I'm not saying that we actually approached Eggo
in the past and asked them to sponsor an episode
of Good Mythical Morning, 'cause it makes a lot of sense,
because we're a morning show and they said, no.
Look at us now, Eggo!
(audience laughs)
What you think now, Eggo? - Let's do this, Eggo.
That's not why we did, we did it 'cause it's real.
- Huh, huh, huh?
Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
