- Are they called moon pies,
because you eat them, and they taste outta this world?
- Oh.
(upbeat folk music)
- We're here to eat moon pies.
- Moon pies.
- Oh my God.
That's the thing from "The Simpsons".
That episode where Bart is
with that old lady, and she's like,
"Now you can buy yourself a moon pie."
- "I'll get the iodine."
- Ah, the answer is sugary and delicious,
not to be eaten in space,
but to be given to the astronauts
when they come back as a special treat.
(upbeat music)
- Oh.
- They're like wagon wheels, or somethin'.
- Hi, hi, hi. Hello.
Oh, you beautiful.
- Oh God, it is very like wagon wheel,
except that she's more like, she's like, taller.
- This one's double decker.
- Oh, okay.
- Well, now back in my day,
when we had a moon pie,
we used to split it in eight parts and save 'er
for every other day of da week.
Unless, eight days, in 16 days.
That don't make no sense.
(man laughs)
- Would definitely still be around
in like, the "Fallout 4" universe.
You find like, a moon pie in the apocalypse?
- No.
- It's kind of like a s'more,
but they've put the biscuit.
They swapped the biscuit and chocolate out.
- Yeah.
Oh, sorry, a graham cracker.
- It's graham.
- Mm.
- It's both squishy and very dry.
- It's so dry.
- You bite, it nearly bites back.
- It does all right, yeah.
- Mm.
- This is trash, and I want it in me.
(man chuckles)
- It is like eating kind of soggy plaster board,
or somethin'.
- Ugh, I actually can't, like.
- You'd build a wall with that though, wouldn't you?
- Oh, yeah.
If you were just like,
if you were making a fancy cake.
- Yeah.
- That would be the structural integrity.
- No, I think you'd build a two-bed and one gar.
There's real frontage with that.
- I do not think
that I'd be able to consume a whole one of these.
So they're bang on the money
about this being three serving sizes,
but no one with any human level
of self-control is ever gonna stop
after a third or a half.
Like, if you gave me that whole thing,
I would be sad here,
moaning, slash crying,
as I consumed the whole thing.
- Do you ever have like,
remember the ceiling tiles in school?
You know, the ones you could lift up
and like, hide stuff in?
If they got wet,
I feel that's what these are like eating.
- It actually is like asbestos.
Like that.
- They didn't do their asbestos job with this one.
(upbeat folk music)
- Banana?
♪ In pajamas are going up the stairs ♪
♪ Bananas in cakes are weird, and I'm scared. ♪
(man chuckles)
- My like, excitement went like, whoa!
- What did you think it was?
- I thought it was like white chocolate.
- There's a big banana plague.
And all the bananas in the world basically died out.
Except for this one strain of banana that they've cloned.
And that's why the banana, the fruit,
doesn't taste like the banana flavor thing,
because the clone of the bananas has changed
so much that the original flavor is like,
completely gone.
- That's mad.
- Yeah.
- Ireland is the largest exporter of bananas in the world.
- No way.
- Yeah. Fyffes is here.
- What?
- All righty.
- We goin' for it?
- Yep, let's do it.
- Mm.
- It's that old style banana flavor,
because bananas used to taste like, disappointing.
- Yeah.
Before they--
- Before we bastardized them.
- I feel like if you close your eyes,
and you just let it sit in your mouth,
you get that like, really nice artificial banana
- [Interviewer] Compared to any
other banana flavored stuff you've
had before, where does this rank?
- It, do you know what?
- It's rank, is the word I was used on.
Yes.
- I just don't see the point.
Going about your day.
And dah, I really wanna moon pie, and you go
into the shop, and there's an array of flavors.
You go, "I want banana flavored moon pie.
That's that's my treat for today.
It's cheat day.
And all I'm thinking about is banana flavored moon pie."
I just don't see it.
- Feel like I would definitely be like a creep
in my backyard with my eyes closed,
sat with this in my mouth and my (indistinct),
just like, moaning to myself.
(woman laughs)
(man chuckles)
- I was gonna say, moon pie in mouth,
pillow on face.
- Do you need help?
- Just like, ah, zen.
- Like, it's been around since 1917.
So, before we found out the stuff was bad for us.
- Feels like they made this
in 1917 and only gave it to us now.
- Yeah, exact.
Yeah.
- [Interviewer] Is it, is it outta this world?
- I mean.
- No, it tastes very much within
- The realms of--
- Of a room, really.
I'd say it's, it tastes out of the room.
(upbeat music)
Ooh.
- Oh my Lord.
Strawberry flavor.
- Strawb.
- This looks like someone painted it.
- I'm not seeing strawberry there anywhere,
in terms of color.
In terms of smell.
- Oh, that's like a
(woman sniffs)
bubble gum, strawberry flavor.
- Oh, wow.
- All right, I'm gonna go for it.
(man sniggers)
- Hm.
- Tha's pretty great.
- Just tryin' to think of what it reminds me of.
That has that strawberry,
that fake strawberry taste.
- You know what, I actually, it really is the consistency
that's putting it off.
- The flavor. My God.
It's like someone licked a strawberry
and then spat on this.
- Haribo strawberry, maybe?
- Oh, yeah.
Like there's like a gummy strawb.
- It's not as bad as the banana one,
but it's like, very gross.
- All of, I know they're different, and I'm probably,
you know, ignoring the nuance of the,
you know, different flavors of these companies.
But all I taste with these
in general, is just Twinkies.
And I don't like Twinkies.
- Do you, now?
- Twinkies are very artificial.
Whatever's in the pastry to keep it like, lasting
for so long, or whatever's in the 'mallow.
It's just this very distinct, fake taste.
- It's the largest artificially flavored notice,
I've seen.
- It's really want there to be no ambiguity.
- It's really almost as big as the word "strawberry,"
"strawberry artificially flavored."
- Do you ever get sometimes where you think
that everybody, you're like,
there's no way anyone could like it.
And then you're the only one on video being like--
- The next pair.
Like, "These are the best things I've ever had!"
- I like it.
Eh, do I?
No, I, I'd eat it.
I'm gonna eat it, Paul.
I'm not done.
It's made in a place called Chattanooga.
(man chortles)
(upbeat music)
- Ooh, salted caramel. Artificially flavored.
(woman whoops)
- Salted caramel.
(woman imitates siren)
- Salted caramel.
Okay. I like salted caramel.
- I love salted caramel.
- So do I.
- Absolutely love salted caramel.
Salted caramel brownies are the best thing
that was ever made on this earth.
Hands down, whatever by cars or ships or planes.
They're the best.
And so, these don't smell good.
- I'm pretty full.
I've had a lot of moon pie today.
- This is gonna be my favorite one.
I'm calling it now.
Yeah.
- In fairness, it's not the worst smelling one.
- This smells like burnt fart.
(man sniffs)
- She's right.
- This is the driest one so far.
I think it's just 'cause we've had four.
It's so dry.
- I usually love salted caramel,
but this is not giving me salted caramel.
- Do you know what?
It's not as offensive as the other one.
- It's not.
The fact was,
this is Stockholm Syndrome, is what's happening here.
- Quite possibly.
- [Interviewer] Is it outta this world?
- I feel like my brain is outta this world,
but not in a good way.
My brain is going,
(imitates foghorn)
"More saliva, more saliva,
in the mouth out there, now."
(imitates foghorn)
And they're just like, "I'm trying, Captain.
I can't hold 'er. It's dry."
And they're all like, yeah, that's what's going on.
- Then we have the--
- The marshmallows expanding inside of us.
So you feel like you've eaten less than you have.
(woman belches)
(both laugh)
- I don't, I don't feel good, guys.
- Wonder if I just pick the flavor off and eat that.
- But yeah, exact.
But this is like saying, "Oh, I have an idea.
Let's put chocolate sauce on parts of the innards
of a couch and then just, and then serve it to people."
- That's what they did.
- Can I have lettuce, or something? A carrot.
Just make us feel meh.
- Well, it's your lucky day.
We've got an apple flavored moon pie on the way.
- Yea.
- It's like a TV show that just had, you know
a few episodes too many.
They coulda cut it off.
You know?
- You've cut it into a perfect smile, though.
(woman burps)
(man chuckles)
- [Interviewer] Have moon pies broken you guys?
- In many ways.
- I should call my ex.
- No. Jesus.
Look what it's done!
(woman laughs)
- [Interviewer] So guys, now that you've had
a selection of American moon pies,
what'd you think overall?
- The fact that I was delighted
that there was no more, speaks volumes, I think.
- But, if we had stopped
at the first one, I would've been like, yeah.
moon pies for life.
And have one every month.
I'm gonna treat myself.
And now I'm like, beautiful, yummy, too much.
- Hey guys.
We were just saying, I love having you here.
And, before you go,
'cause we know you're going to sneak off
and do that old Irish goodbye, stay where ya're,
hit the bell, hit subscribe.
Have a look at another video.
- Do it.
- It's so much fun.
Anyway, and then I was sayin' to her,
"You are such a stupid wh--"
