This is the MBerry versus sour candy challenge.
Can these miracle berry tablets turn Bet19 super sour candies
super sweet?
We're about to find out.
Let's try it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
We've got some lemon drops.
Round one.
Classic.
Not very sour.
It tastes like a lemon-- it's very authentically lemony.
- It is at first.
And then it kind of gets into like, the Pledge flavor.
Like you just wiped off your coffee table, and then
you just went in for a bit--
Uh-huh.
Based on personal experience, on my sour-o-meter,
this one's like 1.
Yeah, this is not very sour.
Uh-uh.
Gummy frogs.
So we sell a bag of gummy frogs.
And there are different flavors.
This is lemon lime.
There is sour citrus.
So good.
Mmm.
A little more sour, I think, in that one than the lemon drops.
I think you're right.
It's a different type of sour for some reason.
I don't think my salivary glands are going to town.
I'm not really like pumping any juices.
No, I'm not, like, making like a face or anything.
But this is maybe a 2.
Yeah.
Like a step above--
Yeah.
A small step above.
This is the pepper-laced lemonade.
It's spicy.
And sour.
And sweet.
It's got a little kick.
Oh, yeah, the pepper's there.
The sour is there.
It's got a little more of that fun tingle.
Has a lot more of the fun tingle.
That's just like another step up.
For me it was two steps.
So I think we're at a 4--
Sourer--
For me.
Sourer than the frogs.
Next up is the extreme Pop Rocks.
Nice.
Now these are extremely hot, from what I've heard.
Wow, holy moly.
I'm going to get close to the mic.
[POPPING SOUND]
I think that's more sour than, like, a lemon.
That's like a Warhead.
That tasted like a sourness of, like, a Warhead candy.
I wonder if the poppiness is making it taste more sour.
I don't know.
It's a weird sensation with the tongue.
It's like exploding on everything.
That was the first one that made my cheeks go, like,
in a little bit.
This is more sour than the lemonade.
Yeah.
By far.
Yeah, maybe seven.
I haven't really reached the peak sour yet.
So I don't know.
I don't know where the summit is.
It's like we're climbing Everest,
but the peak is in the clouds.
The sour gummy worm.
It's a giant gummy worm covered in sourness.
It's also infused with the sour.
It's got the DNA of sour.
If you're cool with it, I'm going to go like this.
Oh, you didn't wait to see if I was cool with it.
Yeah, I didn't.
Super tasty.
Not very sour.
It's not like Sour Patch Kid sour, but it's definitely sour.
I think you said that exact same thing in Beep This.
It's not even quite like a Sour Patch Kid.
Just enough to be, like, really enjoyable.
I think we're right there with the lemon drop.
Yeah, it's down there on the sour scale.
Maybe like a 1 1/2.
It's not going to be like ugh, mm.
Mega sour cotton candy.
We've got two flavors.
Two flavors, pink and blue.
[LAUGHTER]
Because pink is a flavor, and so is blue.
Got a little perk.
Mmmm.
Whoa.
Wow, that's good.
It's tingling my sour buds.
That one definitely get the saliva going.
It's like a tongue slap.
Yes.
No, this is pure citric acid.
Dentists everywhere right now are, like, Do not.
I'm going to go for it.
Nope.
Not doing that.
Holy crap, are you serious?
I'm thinking, like, that is going to kill me.
Here we go.
Whoa.
Oh, my god.
Wow.
Whoa.
It's not sour, it just hurts.
Hurts a lot.
I can't imagine.
My tongue feels like it's splitting in half.
What is that experience?
I don't know what I'm tasting right now.
You're not supposed to do what you just did.
Ow.
How is your tongue not, just like, splitting open.
Feel like it is.
Oh, mine does too.
And I had, like, a tenth of what you had.
This feels like a very similar reaction
to when I eat spicy food.
I have no idea what you just said.
I don't know what I'm experiencing right now.
Is pain a--
Fire and needles.
That will pull all of the saliva out of my face.
Yeah.
We're going to do this again.
Oh, no.
[LAUGHTER]
Bring out the MBerry.
Now this is all natural.
This is made from a dried fruit called the miracle berry.
Uh-huh.
You just kind of pop it in there.
Let it dissolve on your tongue.
It probably takes what?
About two minutes.
Make sure you get all those taste receptors coated.
Because what this is doing to our tongues
is like changing the way that the taste buds receive
the sour chemicals.
And it makes you think that you're tasting something sweet.
Your tongue interprets sour as sweet.
My tongue is coated.
I'm ready for the sour.
Yes.
Straight on the tongue.
Here we go.
No sour.
That's weird.
I don't think it stands up as a candy without the sour.
You got to have the sour.
Otherwise it's just a drop.
You don't have the tongue feel.
The MBerry worked.
Sour-o-meter, this one's zero.
Zero, mull
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
It's not sour.
It's like if you dunked this gummy frog into some sugar.
It's got powdered sugar gummy.
It's like citrus without the sour.
Somehow.
That is so weird.
Weird.
I think it took the spice out.
How did it take the spice out?
No, that's not possible.
Or did the citric acid burn our tongues off,
and now we can't taste the spice?
Oh, maybe that's what's going on.
It's definitely sweet.
This tastes like juice.
That's not what it's supposed to do.
So I don't know what's going on.
Well, I think it made it so sweet that we're just,
like, confused.
MBerry, the tongue confuser.
What?
That's a sugary gummy worm.
Oh, sweet overload, yet again.
Like, I'm making this, the pucker face.
But more like a, that's a lot of sugar.
The flavor went through the roof.
It is flavorful.
It's working though.
It's working.
Very poppy.
Whoa.
No sour whatsoever.
I'm getting a little bit of sour.
Are you?
Yeah.
Are you sure that's not, like, the tingle of the pops.
Maybe.
I think it's so sour that it might be overpowering
the MBerry just a little bit.
Like in the battle of MBerry and sour--
I don't know.
I think the sour is just like--
I can't tell if it was sour, or if it was just the pops
stinging my tongue.
Mega sour cotton candy.
Number two ingredient, citric acid.
Yeah.
Let's go to the carnival.
Oh, it's so sweet.
It's so sweet.
I'm just, like, looking for sour.
See, I get, like, the stinging.
It's, like, barely sour.
Remember last time, this was like- urp, sour.
Insanely sweet.
Wow.
The MBerry is crazy, man.
I think it's crazy that it makes what is basically
just a thing of sugar sweeter.
Cotton candy is not sweet enough for you,
turn up the volume with MBerry.
Yes.
After I did this the last time, my mouth
was scorched for hours.
I could not taste anything.
We went to lunch between then and now.
Everything tasted like rubber and Styrofoam.
I don't want to go through that again,
so I'm doing a little bit less this time.
MBerry--
Ow.
Is gone.
Ow.
Holy crap it hurts so bad.
The MBerry didn't stand a chance.
That is incredibly sour.
I'm getting some sweet too.
It's so sweet.
Just the pain of the acid on the tongue.
And we just like, poured acid in our mouth.
I didn't hate it.
You enjoyed that?
I didn't enjoy it.
[LAUGHTER]
You had like four times more than I did.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
I am amazed right now.
That hurt so bad.
That's a good amount.
And with the MBerry it's crazy sour and really sweet.
I think I'm just going to buy some pure citric acid
and some MBerry.
Who are you?
I don't need candy anymore.
But that MBerry, man, that really works.
I'm going to go see a dentist now.
Oh, yeah, I got to go brush my teeth.
Let's get out of here.
