- I like that salt shit.
You know what I'm sayin'?
It's so good that I'm dancin'.
- Uh uh, I don't fuck with it.
- No, you don't like it?
- No, ma'am.
- Then don't eat it.
(music plays)
- So today, we're gonna be trying two same dishes,
one without MSG, one with MSG.
- And we're gonna try to decide which one
has MSG and which one doesn't.
- I think MSG was a scapegoat for a lot of hypochondriacs
cause then they can eat it and they can be like,
"Oh I have a headache cause I ate the MSG."
(music plays)
- Oh yummy.
- Chinese food.
- Wait, so one of these has MSG.
- One of these.
And the other one doesn't.
- Just by looking, I think this one has MSG.
- Uh huh.
- Okay, I'm gonna go for the noodles.
Pretty good.
- It's very salty.
- Okay.
- It is delicious, but it's not really salty.
- This one tastes saltier to me,
which makes me think that that's probably the MSG one.
- Oh man.
- Right.
- They taste the same.
(laughs)
I'm scared now.
This is the MSG.
- Yeah, although I thought this was saltier,
I still think this more MSG,
just by the looks, and I think I can tell more
by the noodles.
- I think this is the MSG.
- That's MSG.
- I think this one has MSG.
I was wrong.
Yeah.
- No! - What?
- What?
Why?
No, it can't be.
- Ah, my taste buds was correct,
cause I thought it was saltier.
- So then you were right, the saltier one.
- Saltier.
I will say I had one bite of this,
and then with this one, I had one,
and another one and I had another one.
(music plays)
- Mmm.
- I can already tell you by looking at it,
this is the MSG on the left, huh?
- They put MSG in chicken?
- Alright, if I fail this,
I'm going to be very disappointed in myself
as a chicken lover.
This looks healthier though just by the looks of it.
- Yeah, by the looks, yeah.
- This looks, like, deeply fried. (laughs)
- Yeah, very fried.
- MSG cause it's so fucking good.
- Good but no flavor.
- Yeah, it definitely.
- No salt, right?
- Very plain taste.
- Mmm, okay.
(crunches)
- Yeah, MSG. - Mmm, yeah.
- (laughs) Pretty sure.
(laughs)
- It does taste salty.
- Mmhmm.
- I thought this one had MSG
because it has, like, more
of a salty umami-y flavor.
- Damn, look he's fuckin' licking those bones.
- Hey, let me finish, man, it's free chicken.
- You're gonna eat the whole thing!
(music plays)
- Let's try the healthy looking ones.
- Okay.
This is very flavorful.
- Yeah.
- I feel like it's really hard to tell
what has MSG and what doesn't in this case,
cause this tastes like barbecue,
this tastes like cheese.
They both taste salty.
- I think it's saltier.
- It's very salty.
- Right.
But it doesn't taste like barbecue.
- No. - It's a different flavor.
It's confusing.
- Okay, so I'm gonna go ahead and say
that they both have MSG.
- I'm with Curty on this one,
they both got MSG.
- Damn it.
This one.
(buzzing)
Uh!
This was hard.
(music plays)
- I still think MSG makes food taste really good.
- Mmhmm.
- I think what surprised me was the fact
that some of the other foods that didn't have MSG
were equally as good.
- Yeah.
- I think it's really hard to tell
whether something has MSG in it.
I don't think my palate is as refined
to figure that out.
- So I think you can still make great tasting food
without MSG right?
- Yeah, I think I just like having both options.
- Yeah.
- I would still eat MSG foods,
but if I had the choice to,
like if it gave me the option when I ordered,
I'd probably say no MSG.
