- We're getting juiced over some watermelon snacks.
- Let's talk about that.
(dynamic music)
Good mythical morning.
- Today we're serving up another Super Snack Flavor Match
where we keep the flavor industry honest.
- Honest.
- So honest we pronounce the H.
'Cause you just can't label something
with a fun flavor to get people to buy it
and then call it a day.
No, flavor industry.
You gotta follow through with that flavor promise.
- Right, now a lot of snack makers have
attempted to capture the flavor of watermelon,
but it is not an easy thing to do.
Because as Mythical Beast Savagery 24 commented,
y'all should try doing watermelon flavor
because almost no product tastes like watermelon.
Well listen, we're doing it.
And if there's a snack out there
that's captured watermelon the best we're gonna find it.
It's time for Super Snack Flavor Match watermelon edition.
We got a bunch of watermelon flavored snacks.
We're gonna rate them on a scale of one to 10
on how close, not how good they are,
but how close they taste to actual watermelon.
Then we're gonna add those scores up,
where the snack with the highest overall score
will be declared the truest watermelon flavored snack,
and will accordingly be forever named
Watermelon Brian. - Watermelon Brian.
But before we taste the snacks
let's establish our control by tasting actual watermelon.
We got some seedless watermelon here,
which has been genetically modified to not have seeds.
- But we were also told, just before this started,
if we are to trust our team members.
- And we are. - We've been told
seedless watermelon has a more robust flavor.
- It's a win-win.
- Because where their seeds would've been
now there's just more flavor.
- I don't know if that's the reason.
- I like watermelon. - I mean,
speaking of reason, reason runs the season,
and watermelon is out of it, but.
- Not in California.
- That ain't stopping us.
- All right, let's taste our first snack.
(dynamic music)
- Now Haribo is well known for its gummy bears.
But if you're not into eating animal shaped gummies,
fear not, because they have a watermelon shaped
gummy product that we're about to try.
I've never had these.
- I, you know what, I love gummy stuff.
- I know. - I love this brand.
I haven't had these either.
Now, unlike the gummy bears,
which sometimes it can be deceptive.
Like the green is actually strawberry flavored.
The clear is actually pineapple flavored.
This looks like a watermelon with a rind and all.
- They've gone well out of their way
to make it look correct.
The green is almost like marshmallow.
It's a different consistency than the red part.
- It has that watermelon flavor flavor.
You know what I'm saying?
Watermelon flavor flavor.
- Right. - I like it though.
- [Link] It is interesting because there's
three different consistencies of gummy.
- But I just don't think I can,
I'm gonna have to give it...
It's got a hint of something that is approaching,
trying to be watermelon, but just kind of
lands in that watermelon flavor flavor place.
But for me, I'm gonna give it a three.
- That's what I was thinking.
We agree.
- Three plus three is six. - Six.
- Okay, we've got Capri Sun watermelon.
Now this is 100% juice, but not 100% watermelon juice.
Woo, we see what you did there Capri Sun.
- What's it got. - It's got other juices.
It has a grape, apple, and citric acid.
(both laughing)
Citric acid.
- But also, it has watermelon juice concentrate.
Don't stab yet 'cause it says shake well
and we wanna give this the best bet.
I mean, Capri Sun, the Capri Sun family,
they're watching right now.
- Yeah, yeah, the people behind Capri Sun?
- Yeah.
All right, did you shake well,
because I didn't even see you shake.
I'm still shaking.
- Well, I mean. - There's no doubt.
- That's a strange amount of shaking.
- The Capri Sun family is not gonna doubt my,
if mine's shaken up.
Because if we gotta rip 'em a new one,
speaking of rip 'em a new one.
- I find the hole and then I stab like that.
- Now I go from here and I just go for it.
- Well, I figured that's what you would do.
- I missed a little bit, but that worked.
- Okay, if you told me that this was a watermelon juice.
- I'd spit in your face.
- And I admittedly didn't shake it as much as Link did.
- It's apple juice.
- It's just apple juice, or it's grape apple juice.
But the Capri family is watching, so.
- Capri Sun family.
- Well the son is there,
but the the daughter is there as well.
- Oh. - The whole family is there,
and they're all watching, they have a giant television.
It's a projector, that's what it is.
I didn't wanna say it, but it's a projector screen.
They've got it in the living room,
it comes down from the ceiling.
They get together.
They're watching "Good Mythical Morning".
- And you know what, they deserve it.
- We should be filming in 4K for them alone.
- But this has not a hint of watermelon.
- I'm sorry. - Honestly,
I gotta give it a zero.
- I'm gonna give it a one just because I still
wanna get an invitation to their holiday party, next year.
- How on earth can you live with yourself?
This is not, this is not honest.
- Okay, a zero plus one, total of one.
You know what?
We launched the Mythical Society two years ago today!
- Can you believe it?
- Now listen, we have loved seeing
how much the society has grown.
We're continuing to be excited about adding unique
and exclusive content for members.
In a celebration of our anniversary,
and to welcome new members in,
during the anniversary month of February,
any purchase of 3rd degree annual plans
will receive their choice of
one of the past 2020 quarterly items.
So any stuff that we've released
in the past. - That you missed.
- While supplies last, so you gotta get in on that.
And also, any purchase of a 3rd degree plan,
any type of 3rd degree plan, during the month of February
will have the chance to be randomly selected.
- For what?
- For a digital meet and greet with us.
Y'all, let's have a big old Zoom call together!
- Yeah, like under 30 people get that.
It's gonna be intimate.
- Yeah.
- I mean, I'm not talking lingerie.
- No lingerie.
- But it's gonna be intimate. - Right, just a video call.
- All right, when you think about watermelon,
I think about like the heat of summer,
and just the refreshment of that nice slice,
and just the hydration.
Which makes total sense that there is
a watermelon flavored frozen fruit bar
'cause it's about the refreshment as well.
- Yeah, it's almost just like, have you ever
frozen a piece of watermelon and eaten it?
I recommend that. - Seriously, you've done that.
- I haven't, but I think it's probably a good idea.
- So this is Outshine.
This thing, I've got high hopes
because first ingredient, watermelon puree, water,
cane sugar, beet juice color, natural flavor, guar gum.
Holla! - Oh, it's got guar gum!
- And ascorbic acid, and carob bean gum.
- Taste this, Link.
I think we have a contender.
You're going to bite the ice.
- Oh gosh.
- [Rhett] You gotta bite the ice, man.
It's the only way-- - I do have to bite it.
- Listen, the watermelon flavor is subtle
and they have captured the subtlety
as an actual watermelon.
But that's what's happening right here.
- Outshine has outshined everything we've eaten so far.
I mean, it's the watermelon puree.
- It's got actual watermelon in it.
- This knocks my socks off.
- Man, the other ones have been so low
that I feel like I can't, I wanna go nine.
I'm going eight because I believe
that somebody might be able to outshine Outshine, eight.
- Well, I'm gonna go where you're afraid to go.
I gotta go to nine.
I almost went to 10.
- Well, but you didn't.
- [Rhett And Link] Nine plus eight equals 17.
- Now one could argue that a watermelon
is not unlike a potato in that it can
also be sliced, diced, and pureed.
And we can make chips out of potatoes,
so why not watermelons?
Well, we might find out there's a good reason for that.
With these Fit Fit fruit watermelon chips.
- [Link] Fit Fit chips.
- Look at that. - This is wild.
- [Rhett] It just looks like you left
some watermelon out in the sun.
- And you know what, they did
because it says this is one slice
of fresh watermelon dried, not fried, not baked.
Just one ingredient.
It's just a slice of watermelon.
- [Rhett] Nothing added.
- [Link] But this white stuff--
- It almost feels like cheating.
I gotta say, this almost feels like cheating
because it's just watermelon.
- But this is the rind of a watermelon.
I mean, I'm gonna eat the reddest piece I can find.
- I found a pretty red piece.
It has a seed on it.
- I mean, I can see a dried seed.
It's got like a hexagonal pattern,
like it's been smushed by something.
Like a beehive.
It's not crunchy like a chip at all.
- [Rhett] It's more Fruit Roll-upy.
- [Link] It tastes like rotten watermelon.
- It tastes like rotten watermelon.
- It literally tastes like rotten watermelon.
- Now we have a conundrum.
We have a philosophical conundrum.
- Yes we do.
- Because does rotten watermelon
taste more like watermelon?
- I mean, it is watermelon.
- It tastes exactly like watermelon, that is also rotten.
- So on a taste scale, I would have to rank it pretty low.
- But on a tastes like watermelon scale.
- I gotta rank it almost through the roof.
I mean, it's just... - But it's rotten.
- But it's rotten.
- This what we tasted is not rotten.
- No.
- Do you like the way I phrased that?
This what we tasted?
- So we gotta bring this back--
- I've never spoken that way.
This what we tasted.
- Well, when you're dealing with a conundrum,
you gotta talk a different way.
- I'm gonna give it a seven on a watermelon scale,
which is pretty, pretty great.
But it's rotten watermelon, so I moved it down to seven.
I'm gonna give it a 10 on a tastes like watermelon scale.
But then, because it's rotten,
I have to take it down to a seven.
- Oh.
So seven plus seven is 14.
- Now, correct me if I'm wrong,
but raisins are made from grapes.
- Grapes!
- Okay, so you're in agreement.
But apparently we're living in the future
because now raisins are made from watermelons.
- Nope, that's not what happened here.
- Sun-Maid has sour raisin snacks that they've then flavored
with other flavors besides grape, including watermelon,
which is what we're gonna taste.
They've also got blue raspberry, mixed berry.
I have not seen these.
- I didn't know about sour grapes or sour raisins.
- Oh, I did that.
And if you want some I'll do that towards your hand.
And I'll do it towards my hand.
- I'm kind of excited about these
just as a concept, sour raisins.
- [Link] It's sour.
- Sun-Maid says, because when your fruit snack
starts with raisins and ends with watermelons,
you know you've done something right.
(Stevie laughing)
What kind of crap is that?
(Link laughs)
- The feeling you get when you hear or read that packaging
is the same feeling you get when you taste these.
Total confusion.
- I like it a lot.
- I like it a lot, but I'm totally confused.
And there is, there are layers that happen.
Okay, I put a raisin in my mouth.
I tasted sour. - Sour first.
- Second thing I tasted was watermelon.
- Watermelon flavor.
And then you taste grapes. - Grapes.
- Or raisins.
- Are we focusing on just that layer,
or are we taking the whole thing, because?
- Just the layer of watermelon.
- Well no, it says sour raisin snacks, watermelon.
I mean, they're not saying--
- The only thing I'm interested in--
- It's not watermelon flavored raisins.
- Oh, you're saying you have to
take the whole thing into account.
- So I'm not gonna hold that against it.
- You mean you're gonna take the raisins--
- But I am gonna hold it against me.
- You're gonna take the raisins and the sour into account
as you analyze the flavor as it compares to watermelon?
- I'm only analyzing the--
- So the exact opposite of what
you seem like you were saying, got it.
- I'm only ranking the watermelon strata of the experience.
- Well that I give a four.
- [Link] I give it a five.
- Nine.
You know we've been eating a lot of flavors today,
so we're gonna need to brush our teeth after this.
Or during this, because this next product
is Colgate's two in one Watermelon Burst kid's toothpaste.
Let's see if watermelon makes brushing our teeth sweeter.
It just kind of, first of all, I'm afraid you're gonna--
- What does this remind you of?
- It reminds me of in college when we would eat at
that place, the Blue Moon Barbecue.
And we would take the barbecue sauce,
and we had a trick that we would go up
and enter a conversation with somebody,
and we would squeeze the barbecue sauce,
and it was shoot barbecue mist.
- Mist. - Into their nose.
And they would to, they wouldn't know what was happening.
- They would be talking to us and like,
you just watch their face kind of like have to endure.
- We would do it from down here.
- Yeah, yeah, do it from down there.
- But it was a bigger bottle though.
- Got watermelon? - Oh, it's working.
It's working.
- It's not, is it?
It's not working for me, you're not aiming it right.
- It's pointing right at your nose.
- Yeah, that's working there.
That's there.
Okay.
- Blue Moon Barbecue, shutdown after we graduated.
- It smells like that watermelon flavor.
Now we want, we've been cleansing our palate
and we're gonna, with...
- Lettuce, that's called lettuce.
- Whatever this is.
What is this, green stuff?
We just wanted to show you that we've gone all the way.
- Just in case you think we're not taking this seriously.
- Now, I've had the adult version of this.
And I will say that this is ranked number 75
in kids' oral hygiene products on Amazon.
- Wow, top 100.
I don't know how to, I don't know if that's good or not.
- Dink it.
- I'm gonna get it a little wet.
- I wetted mine first.
(brush scrubbing)
Are you getting the burst of watermelon?
- I'm getting that watermelon flavor flavor.
This tastes like, you know how you would have
the option sometimes at the dentist?
- Oh gosh, yeah.
- To get that fluoride treatment.
- Do enough people like watermelon to create all this stuff
and to get their way deep into the dentistry?
It's always baffled me.
This is nasty.
- This is very strong flavored,
but it's squarely in the watermelon flavor flavor,
not the watermelon flavor.
I'm gonna give it a two.
- I'm giving it a three.
- Oh two plus three is five.
And that means. - Yes!
- That with a total score of 17,
the most watermelon tasting snack out there is...
- [Rhett And Link] The Outshine pureed frozen fruit bars.
- Watermelon flavored.
That's it.
If you wanna eat something that tastes like watermelon
then you gotta do that.
And you know what that means?
We are going to officially...
- Slap it on there, man.
Slap it on.
And you know what Outshine,
thank you for your integrity, your truth in advertising.
- Got a little bit on the watermelon there.
- [Link] We're gonna leave that there.
- Watermelon Brian, you did it.
- You've restored our faith in watermelon flavor.
- That's right.
Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
- You know what time it is?
- My name's Sarah, I'm from Central California.
Today was my 22nd birthday.
And it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicowity.
- Ah!
- Happy birthday.
- Click the top link to watch us taste watermelon
that's been soaking in weird things in "Good Mythical More".
- And to find out where
the Wheel of Mythicality's gonna land.
- [Rhett] Mythicowity.
