- Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
- Let's talk about that.
(gentle upbeat music)
Good Mythical Morning!
- Last time, we tasted a whole bunch
of geriatric canned foods.
We discovered the simple, yet extremely satisfying pleasure
of pulling a whole chicken from a can.
- What a moment.
- Remember that?
And that can had been sitting in the chicken.
Let me say that the opposite way.
- Yeah. Chicken had been sitting in the can.
- Was sitting in the can for 50 years.
- 50 years!
- Yeah.
- So we thought if they can dare fit
a whole chicken in a can,
what else had they been getting away with?
And by they, I mean the can people.
- Yeah, we see you can people.
You can run but you cannot hide!
Unless you're good at hiding.
It's time for "You Like My Cans?
Thanks, They're Vintage."
(upbeat ragtime music)
- Okay, the Mythical crew has sourced
a variety of strange vintage and unopened canned foods
and they went ahead and opened this one up for us.
- Yeah.
- Because that was the instructions.
- This one is what?
Beef stroganoff?
We paid $12 from this.
It's from the 70s.
- Yeah, it's actually-
- So let's give this 50-year-old can of casserole.
- Stroganoff style casserole.
- A chance.
Neo-Life. I love the packaging here.
- [Rhett] It's hot.
You wanna touch it?
- Is it hot?
Neo-Life Nest.
Like, that's cool.
- That was very forward thinking in the 70s.
- I really like that it's like, some sort of a target,
but then it's like, it's got a just a blazing blue.
And that hasn't even-
- Hold on, what is this design talk?
(crew laughing)
Like, are you trying to be one of those accounts?
- Maybe I could.
I do think that's part of whether it can or cannot
is just how cool it looks.
- It is cool.
- Because it's gonna sit on your shelf for 50 years,
then you're gonna open it.
You're gonna pour it in a...
Oh, gosh.
- How do you feel about fresh equivalent, Link?
- What do you mean, fresh equivalent?
- Nothing gets me going.
Nothing gets my engine revved up like fresh equivalent.
I gotta say-
- Smells funny.
- For stroganoff that's as old as us, it ain't bad.
I mean, look, if you-
- Well, you haven't eaten it, have you?
- If you took me-
- Something stroganoff about it.
- And put me in that can in the 70s
and then open it up right now,
think about what I'd look like.
I mean, that would be awful!
I mean, boy, that would be the worst.
- You'd have minimum moisture.
You would have nitro guard protection.
- Wow! That would be a tough show to watch.
- All right. Dig in, man.
This is gonna be great for us to eat.
- It's so hot.
Does hot kill botulism? (laughs)
- I mean, I just want to put it on my tongue
and taste it a little bit and then I wanna-
- It smells like a dog that's been in a storm.
(crew laughing)
You know what I'm saying? Like...
- A funk storm.
- Like, you forgot that the dog.
You forgot about the doggy door and the tornado came.
Took the dog up in the tornado.
It went on a little trip and then it came back.
It's safe. It's safe.
The dog is fine.
- It's not bad, though. It smells worse than it tastes.
But you do need to-
- I'm not gonna swallow it.
- You need to expel it.
You wanna use my can?
Do you wanna use your?
- Oh, I'm sorry, man.
- Well, that ain't.
I'm never gonna do that again.
The one time I offer you my can, you spray all over my arm.
Get that off in my shirt, you doofus!
- Your shirt's too small, man.
(Rhett groans)
- But the design is pretty great, right?
- The design is great. I'm gonna say that.
- I mean, that's just cool.
- And that's as much stroganoff
as I would want in one sitting, anyway.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I like a man can, you know?
I gotta say, I don't feel safe eating it,
but it looks like it's super intact.
I do love the design.
I feel like-
- What is this, design talk?
- Stroganoff style can in a can.
I feel like it can!
- Well, then I guess we'll say stroganoff.
- [Both] Can!
(upbeat ragtime music)
- Do you like pina coladas?
Getting caught in the rain?
- Not really.
- Well, you're in luck.
I can't speak for the weather,
but I got the perfect addition to your frosty pina colada.
Canned coconut from 1929!
Yes, 94-year-old canned coconut.
- Good gosh.
- The things y'all find.
- It is southern style moist.
- Oh, okay.
Like humid? A little sweaty?
- It ain't just that normal moist. It's that southern moist.
- It's a different kind of moist.
It's like a Matthew McConaughey sweaty brow lawyer.
- Yeah, it's like get that cobbler
in your britches kind of moist.
You ever make cobbler in your britches?
- No, I'm gonna let you-
- That's that southern moist, y'all.
- You can go up that cobbler hill on your own.
- So traditional can, so a modern opener should give it
a nice little open.
Shh, let's hear. Let's hear.
That was my hand that popped.
I feel like the can opener sucks.
- Oh, we have a better one.
- Oh, good gosh.
What is?
Oh, wow. Look at that.
- It's definitely bigger.
- Okay.
Yeah, this one's gonna do it.
And then crank it.
- Is it still moist?
- Let's find out how moist it is.
- Is it still moist after all these years?
94 years.
- And then I'm gonna use this one to see
if I've got the, where's the little grabber?
You know, there's a little grabber.
- This is probably older than everyone watching right now.
- This one doesn't have a-
- You think there's anybody 94
and up watching this show right now?
Grandma, come in here so we can-
(Rhett and Link yelling)
- [Link] I thought it was freaking worms!
- (laughs) That boy.
- Oh, my gosh.
- [Rhett] Well.
- It's got that southern moist.
- Yeah.
Looks like something you'd plant something in.
- Can I put this behind here,
just to give you a little bit more of a contrast?
Look at that.
That is the darkest coconut shavings I have ever seen.
- There's still a whole lot left.
I'm going in.
- Wring it out.
- There's still more.
It looks like chewing tobacco.
- I know.
And you know what you do with chewing tobacco?
You just take a big.
(crew gasping)
This is some southern moist.
People walking around my county like this all the time.
It keeps the economy going.
- The reason there's two of us is in case one of us dies.
- It's caught in my tooth.
(crew laughing)
- Because when you think about it like tobacco.
But actually, it's horrible.
It could smell so much worse.
It does not smell like coconut.
How does it taste?
- Boggs. Boggs.
Boggs.
- You just put Boggs in your mouth.
- Yeah.
- This is well beyond Boggs.
I mean, look how much it expanded.
I mean, look at that hill.
- [Link] Why did it? Yeah, why did I do that?
(crew laughing)
- I mean, look at that.
- Was it worth it?
- That was inside that can.
It's really wafting at this point.
I feel like we need to.
So yeah, we're gonna say coconut can.
- Am I like, Boggsing?
- (groans) I mean, I don't even wanna think about
what just went in your mouth.
I don't ever wanna talk to you again.
- I'm not gonna think about it, either.
It just happened.
It was just an impulse.
It was an impulse.
I mean, I've putting worse things in my mouth.
- I don't know, actually.
- I've been putting.
- [Stevie] Everybody is so shocked in here.
I feel like we just went through
like, a traumatic experience.
- Southern style moist.
- I don't know what to do.
- That's what southern style moist will get you.
It will get you shocked.
It'll raise your eyebrow.
It'll raise one of your eyebrows.
- I'm gonna go out on a coconut,
a palm tree limb, and say coconut cannot.
(upbeat ragtime music)
- Apparently, at one point in the history of history.
- Yeah, the world.
- And I'm talking about the 60s,
Canadians opt for the cool metal touch of a can
when it came to their greatest product
of all time, maple syrup.
So here we go.
Tasting a 60-year-old can of syrup.
(Rhett reading label in French)
Now, what are you doing here?
Because this thing is already bulging.
- Yeah, but.
It's still syrup.
I think this is-
- Can we look at the story being told
on the front before you open it?
- [Rhett] How about as I'm opening it?
- Look at that.
Look at the nice wintry setting here.
Don't cover it with your hand.
This is-
- Oh!
- Oh, that was a scary sound.
- Okay and I'm gonna, I took a physics class at some point.
I'm gonna create another hole for pouring.
- Give it a scent.
Give a smell of that.
(crew laughing)
Not good, huh?
- Get a whiff daddy.
Whiff daddy.
- I'm not. I've already.
- Listen-
- I feel like I've already taken a year off my life.
- But here's the thing. - oh, thank you.
- You've inoculated yourself against anything else.
You had a hundred year old coconut.
- Oh, that's weird.
- Let me pour it right in your mouth.
- No, pour it on these pancakes.
- Oh, you've lost heart.
Uh-oh. Something happened to his brain.
- He's rigid.
- Pour it on them pancakes.
- These pancakes have a weird graphic on them.
- Okay, here you go.
- [Link] Okay. Well, it just looks like syrup.
- It got darker.
- [Link] That kind of feels good.
- [Rhett] It's so thin.
- Why aren't you saying anything?
There you go.
- It taste like somebody's blood.
(crew laughing)
- Oh, it does!
Is it iron?
- It's moose blood!
It's moose blood!
The secret's out.
- That's a spot on-
- You tasted that and didn't respond to it!
- No, it- - What is wrong?
- I wiped my tongue.
(Rhett groaning)
It's bad.
- I'm like one of those filters.
(Link groaning)
I'm like one of those filters, but it's real.
- Move your eyes, too, I think.
Gotta move your eyes around.
Yeah. There it is.
That's what it does to you.
- I'm not doing it.
That's not me.
Stop it!
- Why?
Why does it taste like blood, y'all?
- Because whatever's in the can got into it
and I feel like it might be harmful.
It's not harmful, though,
because what we're doing is completely safe,
but you shouldn't do it.
- Don't try this at home.
- How do we make it okay?
- [Both] Don't try this at home.
- We're not at home. (laughs)
Nowhere on it does it say anything about-
- How bad it would be.
- It's just a pretty picture of a Canadian winter.
- You sure they're not getting the blood out of that horse
and that's the story that's being told?
Yeah, see those tubes going from the horse to that stump?
- [Link] (laughs) Yeah.
- This is horse blood.
It's not moose blood.
They just stuck this right into the side
of a brown Canadian horse and they sucked out
whatever came out and they put it in a can
and here we are tasting it.
- [Link] Maple syrup.
- [Both] Cannot!
(upbeat ragtime music)
- Hey, look at this.
It's a new Mythical monthly collectible pin.
Every month, we put out a new pin
that you can put on your person like Rhett's doing.
This pin is only available for 24 hours,
so get on it at mythical.com.
Of course, it's the Mythical M logo
with a rainbow glitter coloring.
(Rhett cheers)
- Yeah. Show your pride.
This is soft enamel.
- Hey, just 24 hours.
Come on now at mythical.com!
- Yeah, get it.
- Link, maybe one way-
- Looks good right there.
- For us to wash down that horse blood
is some 1950s emergency drinking water,
issued for the Korean War.
- And does it have that southern moist?
- [Rhett] I don't know.
- Oh, oh, oh!
- What?
- That...
It shakes weird, dude.
- Oh, yeah.
This is H10. (chuckles)
- Yeah, something ain't right.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Something ain't right.
- Lost one of them hydrogens.
- Let's not agitated too much.
Where's the thing?
We need that again.
Oh, you got it.
Can I try it this time?
- Yeah, but it's got a little horse blood on it.
Actually, I cleaned it.
(can pops)
(Rhett gasps and mimics can popping)
- I'll go for the other side, too, 'cause I took physics.
- Oh, hello, water.
- Clear as a bell.
But why did it shake so weird?
It felt like there was something.
- Oh, it's exactly the right size.
Well, is it exactly the right size?
Is it? Is it?
No. - No.
(crew laughing)
There's nothing solid.
- That was cool, though.
- There's nothing solid in there,
but when we were shaking it, it felt like it moved around.
Oh, that's because it's contract number
N383-155S-90175.
That's why it felt that way.
Don't you.
Look at you getting on the bandwagon.
You taste the can leeching into that water?
- Mm-hmm.
- Spit it out.
(crew laughing)
- Oh, wow.
- [Link] Does it taste like blood?
- You gotta taste it.
It tastes like a new kind of water.
(crew laughing)
- I'm not-
- No, no. You should taste it.
- I'm not gonna.
- No, no, it's not bad.
It tastes like-
- Dude, my head hurts from eating the southern moisture.
- It tastes like if you had to drink out of a toilet tank.
Not like the bowl, but the tank part.
- I can smell that.
- You know what I'm saying?
- I don't need to taste it
because you know 98% of taste is smell.
- It's so clear, though.
- Why? I mean, there are some canned waters these days.
- Can you see me through it?
- Yeah, I can, Rhett.
- Oh, that's cool.
- That doesn't help our cause.
I mean, the fact that you've gotta go out
and get a tetanus shot now
should kind of seal the deal on this.
- I think I'm up-to-date.
I'm up-to-date on that.
- So we paid $6 for this on eBay.
Is somebody just sitting on cases of this stuff?
- I would imagine so.
- Yeah. I mean, literally use it as furniture.
- (laughing) Yeah, they're probably not moving too fast.
We were probably like, one
of the first purchases in months.
- [Link] Canned toilet water.
- [Both] Cannot!
(upbeat ragtime music)
- Now, it has established Good Mythical cannon
at this point that I do not like oysters.
But maybe the problem
is I haven't tasted 120-year-old oysters.
- Yeah.
- This can of oysters is from the 1900s and I'm horrified.
- Okay, listen.
There's still liquid in there.
This could get real bad, real fast.
I want everybody to know, okay?
- Find your nearest exit.
- We've opened up some things in the past,
but 120-year-old oysters might take the cake.
I guess I'm gonna just do regular can opener.
- And I'm gonna. You wanna?
You think it's dark or light?
'cause this is my light backdrop.
- (laughs) You know what?
- And it's also my shield.
- You're always thinking about the important stuff.
Here we go.
- No hissing, no bulging.
There's a little bubbling.
- I can smell it.
- What is this dookie stain on the outside of it?
- [Rhett] I gotta go back around 'cause I missed a little.
- [Link] You see that right there?
That's disturbing to me.
- That part's hard right there.
I got a oyster caught.
Oh!
- Okay and then grab that.
It's going. It's sinking.
Get that outta here.
Okay, we don't need this.
- Oh, there's a lot of gelatinous things happening.
Okay, let's see if any of them made it.
- Hold on. No, no.
I don't wanna be in the splatters.
- Push. I'm gonna pour it away from you.
(crew groaning)
- Soupy.
(Rhett and Link groaning)
Oh, man.
- Wow!
Did you see that oyster slurry just come right out there?
(Link gagging)
Yeah, yeah, man.
I knew you were gonna get it
'cause I can smell it from over here.
(Link groans)
You just open. (groaning)
Wow, it's bad!
(Rhett groaning)
Daddy!
Put that on top of it.
- I wanna.
What is that?
That's a oyster?
- No, it's not an oyster.
That's oysters.
- It's green!
- [Crew Member] You can just take it out.
- What? No!
- [Stevie] Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- You can't smell it over there.
It's not going that far.
- [Stevie] Okay, it's not a surströmming situation?
- No, it's not.
- I don't think it's as bad as surströmming.
- [Stevie] Because that stayed in the studio
for like, two weeks.
- [Link] What is that green stuff?
- It's what happens.
Oh, gosh.
I can't. I'm afraid to look at it anymore.
- Hey, no, you can take it now.
(crew laughing)
- And you can take the can.
Well, what do we learn?
- [Link] 120 year old oysters.
- [Both] Cannot!
- But the stroganoff could.
- Yeah, the stroganoff really held up.
- And it did.
- It really, really held up.
- I actually don't remember why we said it would,
but it did.
- Well, because something's got to-
- Yeah. Yeah.
So that was the winner.
Oh, man.
- Now you know whether or not you need to be going
onto eBay and getting old things.
- Yeah and now we know-
- You're welcome.
