- Is pizza the new cookie?
- Let's talk about that.
(fun theme music)
(fire blazing)
Good Mythical Morning.
- 2017 has been a year
just full of
divisive, intense, debate about very important issues.
And we've been very wary, you know, about wading
into this controversy.
But something has happening and we just feel like we can't
stay out of this and that thing is pizza milk.
- Yes.
(sighs)
This is a big deal. - Yes.
- We have to walk about it.
It all started off with a tweet back on March 4th.
Hyrule Citizen
known as Miriam posted this
declaration on Twitter.
"Pizza plus milk is way better than pineapple pizza."
Which, in and of itself, is an internet
controversy so pineapple be - Right.
Suddenly. - On pizza
but we're not gonna weigh in on that one.
"This shizzle
"bomb
"AF."
- Okay. (crew laughs)
- Okay symbol.
And then she has a picture of a slice of cold pepperoni
pizza taking a dive into some milk.
I think that's 2%, don't know for sure.
- And this started a firestorm so much so that she got
interview by the Buzzfeed.
And she defended her choice.
She said, "Milk and cheese are in the same category, whereas
"pineapples and cheese are in completely opposites!"
Yes, you are right - That seems
like logic. - Miriam.
They're both in the dairy.
They're both in the dairy section.
Milk and cheese.
But, she made a few observations.
It's not hot pizza, it's cold pizza.
- Uh-huh, yeah.
- Both of them have to be cold, the pizza and the milk and
she said, "Make sure there's not too much tomato sauce."
- So we have that
here.
- Why are we doing this?
- Well,
because
a lot of people on the internet are saying that it's gross,
it's heinous. - Yeah.
The internet hasn't responded well to this
at all. - People are justi-fly,
justifiably upset.
- Justi-flyingly.
- Justi-flyingbly upset. - There's justification
flying all over the place.
- But I mean, when something is purported to be gross that
means we have to do it.
- You can't take people's words for things, you have to try
it yourself, kids.
- So, mine's been marinating for a couple of seconds.
And I love cold pizza almost better than hot pizza so, I'm
legitimately hopeful about this.
- Okay, here we go.
- I mean, the thing about cold pizza is that it doesn't act
as much like a sponge, at least not the first bite.
- Listen, the pizza was already good.
The pizza by itself was good.
The milk seems like something like I was reaching for
something else and accidentally put it in my milk and
I don't think it's an improvement.
It's soggier than it was already.
I mean you can see I'm still eating 'cause I
really like pizza. (laughs)
- I mean, you wanna give it a good chance but it sounds like
you're not with it.
I on the other hand have not problem with it.
- It's not super gross but do it without dipping
for a second.
Just eat it without dipping.
- Just drink milk?
- No, the pizza!
That's the part that you like, man.
It's not the milk.
The milk it's a dairy overload.
This is what I think is happening here.
I think that Hyrule Citizen Miriam may have almost
gotten somethin' beautiful.
So maybe the idea of dipping milk in pizza isn't the
greatest idea, maybe it's just dipping milk into a beverage.
That's what she was on to.
We've gotta figure out what the trend should actually be.
- Okay.
And let's start with milkshakes.
- (laughing) Yeah.
- Because, you know, why wait for dessert when it can be
on your pizza?
- I think I already...
Oh, see now there's an immediate difference.
Look at that, I know where the dip happened.
You see that?
- [Link] Yeah, from there to there.
- [Rhett] Right.
- Makes it colder.
- And I clearly tasted the creaminess of the ice cream and
the whipped cream.
- It's not bad at all.
I'm liking it, man.
I liked the milk, I'm liking this even more.
It's an efficient delivery of - This is better than milk.
- Of both phases of the meal.
- It's definitely better than milk.
- Drink, food, and dessert.
The three food groups.
- It still feels like there's something potentially morally
wrong about it.
I think dairy should be done in small dollops.
I don't think it should be done in overwhelming amounts.
- Maybe I'm much more of a dairy man than you are.
- You know what, I have taken dairy out of my life.
- That's true.
We gone go with some coffee next?
Okay.
We can do that. - I'm going with some coffee.
- The pizza's cold, the coffee's hot.
Maybe we'll
achieve like a nice
medium here.
Lukewarm coffee drenched pizza.
- Hold on, look, somethin's happening.
- It seems like it's cookin' it?
- Yeah it's like cookin' it.
- Is it recookin' the pizza?
- It's coffee cooked pizza.
(giggles)
(crew laughs)
- Let's taste it before we get too excited.
Eh.
Uh-uh.
- Now you don't like that?
- I don't like it when it gets hot again.
- That's the part that I liked.
- No. - It was like
stickin' it into a little toaster
filled with liquid. (laughs)
- No.
- You don't like that?
- [Link] No, I'm not even gonna eat
that piece. - This is the first sign
of promise for me.
- [Link] Really?
- We're really diverging here.
- We're different people, Rhett.
- This might be the end, man. (laughs)
This is the show that ended everything.
(laughs)
They couldn't agree.
- That is sad but maybe true. - Okay.
Now this is one that'll catch on at parties
all around Los Angeles.
- Because Los Angeles parties serve nothin' but La Croix.
This is grapefruit La Croix.
- We had
some different, some people over at my house
this past weekend.
- Some different people.
- Some different people, very different.
(laughs)
And a few people that brought their kids.
And I had a La Croix and I said, "Can you get me a La Croix
out of there?" I said to Locke.
And the little girl looked at me and she was like,
"It's La Croix."
And I was like, listen here little girl, it's not.
(crew laughs)
It is not La Croix.
Your parents told you that 'cause they want you to seem cool
but it's La Croix and it's like made in the mid-west and
it's from the 80's.
- Yeah.
You're not in France anymore little girl and it never was.
- Yeah.
- [Link] Ooo, effervesce.
- Aw, yeah I like what's...
I like it when there seems to be a
reaction of some kind. - Yeah.
It's cookin' it too.
Oh.
- Alright that's bad.
- Not good.
- No, okay, alright. (crew laughs)
- But you know what?
I think we should try apple cider vinegar.
- Oh, really?
- Because
it in small doses,
don't drink all of this. - I've got one over here.
- It is good for digestion or somethin'.
- And this is very acidic so this might do.
I see how I'm going back to new pieces every time.
You can feel free to do that too, whoa.
Oh, gosh.
- Just dropped one on the floor.
Okay, so.
I thought it might bubble but the La Croix made it bubble
but this doesn't. - It's not baking soda.
- I mean, if this was
balsamic vinegarette - Oh, gosh.
- We might have been onto something but.
- This is gonna be strong.
Oh.
- Mm.
- Let it settle.
Let that initial intensity pass.
- Okay, it's passing but
man, you know the bite you would normally get from the
pepperoni on like a really spicy pepperoni on a pizza?
- It's even more.
- It's like it's given that to just normal pizza.
- No, I kinda like this.
I don't like the initial bite but I like the aftertaste.
- Yeah like if you just give it like a little dance on the
top of the vinegar instead of like a full dip,
then I think we may be onto something.
It's about proportions.
Big bite, little vinegar.
- Okay.
- That can happen, I'mma tweet about that later.
(crew laughs)
I'mma tweet AF that.
Whatever that means.
- (laughing) Not what you think it means.
This is not a strawberry milkshake, this is Pepto Bismol
because after a late night when you eat too much pizza
this is the one that serves a practical purpose.
You're coating it with a protective coating that will then
help with the digestive process.
- Yes.
- You know, prevents diarrhea, bloating.
What else does it say on the package?
- [Chase] Nausea, heart burn.
- Nausea, heart burn.
- Subpar life performance.
- Yeah.
And it has a tangy taste.
(laughs) I've always liked the taste of it.
- I mean I've
drunk whole bottles before when I felt really horrible.
- It turns the back of your tongue black.
- [Stevie] (laughing) Eww.
- Have you seen that before, like when
you take a lot of Pepto? - And your stool.
- Here we go, guys.
- A little overwhelming.
- Maybe if the vinegar was on it too.
(laughs) No.
Mm,
it's not good.
- Yeah, it compromised the pizza experience a little
bit for me.
- But my stomach may thank me.
Later.
- I think the thing that I've learned is that I
really like pizza.
I don't necessarily think it needs to be dipped
in any liquid.
- It's hard to hurt pizza.
That's what we've learned today.
