today we try the most hated foods in
america let's talk about that
[Music]
good mythical morning we're about to
uncover the official most hated foods in
america and how are these foods
uncovered you ask
[Laughter]
research
in february of this year researchers
released a list of the most hated foods
in each state in america there's 50
based on google search trends and then
the mythical crew
crunched that data and compiled it into
an overall national ranking and now we
have not seen these lists we have not
these lists or this list
no data uh and we want to see if we can
taste these hated foods and then
recreate that list using only a sample
size of two us it's time for what's the
most hated food on the official ranking
board i bet it's my aunt tanya's famous
expired cheese gourd
i do not know what a cheese gourd is and
i don't have an aunt tonya oh but i know
what that is it's the official most
hated foods ranking board how did you
know right uh because it's what it says
and chase looks very official oh nice
yeah
he was our brainy research assistant
he's kind of got the the uh the frat
tuck going on in the front that's it i
mean yeah yeah just just let's get that
give the people a peek chase a little
late to work today okay russian chase i
understand you're rushing you're taking
a rushing class you're gonna you're
gonna help us out by populating a few on
the board now first that's the russian
that i have
yeah you got to get you got to take the
earlier russian class chase that doesn't
conflict with your time here the number
10 most hated food in america is carrots
i get it all right all right and then
number six here
eggplant i mean eggplant is so fleshy
and and nasty and when you cook it it
just gets soft and good
nastier i like it in things but i don't
think i've ever enjoyed it by itself
okay give us one more okay
i don't get this
yes
thank you flyover states
i'm just kidding just kidding just
kidding just kidding
sushi is number four and that's all the
help we get there i mean it's up to us
to fill in the rest of the slides yes
okay we're gonna do is we're gonna taste
and ring all the foods and we get one
final chance at the end to switch them
all around if we don't get seven out of
ten of these correct and that's
including the three he put up so kind of
we only got to get four right yeah
out of the ten additional ones if we
don't do that we must eat the most hated
sandwich in america okay all right let's
do it
reveal oh
what is that anchovies it's anchovies
anchovies are salt cured so many people
find their fishy salty taste
overwhelming americans have a distaste
for anchovies simply because we've never
had the best version of them hold on are
we supposed to taste these because we
have to to break i mean yeah that's what
that's that's what we're doing right
yeah what's the best version you were
saying anchovies served on top of pizza
are usually the cheapest available but
fresh anchovies caught in the
mediterranean are actually soft creamy
and almost sweet i bet they're not
really though yeah you're having the
american version of anchovies today okay
this is this is giving me some insight
into how these things might
uh
we might think about this because it's
gonna be foods that people run into on a
regular basis the fact that carrots are
on the list it's just like
you get you your mama serves you some
carrots on your plate and it's the one
thing you don't eat right even me
somebody who eats everything is just
like carrots are sort of like i'm doing
it
for the heck of it eggplant
i don't care
chase hurt himself it's okay his lanyard
just slapped him in the face
i'm sure we got footage of it you don't
like sushi i like sushi but i understand
why people don't like it i definitely
understand why people don't like this
especially you don't eat these straight
but it ruins an experience that
otherwise would be great which is just a
pizza without them on it is how most
americans would see anchovies but the
search term of it all makes me think
that it's got to be lower because it's
not going to be that common right you're
not going to run into it i was thinking
eight yep yep i was thinking eight yeah
and we just got a confirmation buzz for
that what was that brilliant did you
hear that i think it's when we throw it
in i think it's when we're writing okay
i like this show a new feature of this
show i like i like to be like told that
i'm right with a ding or a dong i don't
care either one it would really help us
if we were told along the way but it's
not let's keep going
turkey turkey that's turkey bacon turkey
bacon is likely disliked because it
lives in the shadow of real bacon an
american staple yeah and it tastes
nothing like bacon well that's because
when bacon cooks the fat breaks down and
creates taste compounds that are sweet
buttery and salty whereas turkey bacon
has less saturated fat sodium and
cholesterol
so its chemical reaction and taste isn't
the same it's just lunch meat yeah cut
into bacon but if you went to like a
different country and they were like
this is our specialty you would be like
this isn't that bad but because it's
trying to be bacon you know how good
bacon is and bacon is something that's
so loved and this is such a
bastardization is that the right word
yes yes yes this has got to be in the
top three they didn't want to have this
child i'm totally comfortable with
number three
oh we don't get the ding this time
[Laughter]
three number three you feel good about
oh gosh this isn't gonna end well he's
just an assistant he's a researcher no
he has to ream it out before he puts it
in there oh he has to ream out the board
turkey bacon
yeah
pickle i mean people hate pickles just a
pickle not like a special type of pickle
just a pickle just a normal pickle
apparently
some people have an aversion to the
appearance and texture of pickles
claiming they resemble toads
okay oh you've just ruined pickles for
me thanks stevie and some food dislikes
are inherent we're born liking sweet
foods and disliking bitter foods so
people who dislike the bitter acidic
taste of vinegar might have a problem
with pickles which are brined what's
your take on pickles because you you're
you're a picky man we know this i like
if i was told if i was told you didn't
like pickles i'd be like this feels like
it might match up but you don't love
pickles like you know what i started
doing pickles she loves pickles i love
pickles i mean this has got to be really
low because there's so many people who
actually love it i think a seven or nine
i i was thinking nine let's do that
nine chase are you doing your russian
lessons
on that notepad i was prepping for
another another course but it's re it's
in the same
what's nine in russian
no
what else do we hate
beats
now i don't want to confuse things but i
could okay now that i think i'm thinking
more logically about this i feel like i
just had a whiff of inspiration
when these beats came into my mouth or
my nose there's no scent
i think we ranked pickles too low and
here's why
why
think about how many times you order a
burger or a chicken sandwich and you're
a person just out in america no pickles
we have to think about the things that
intrude people's experience think about
how many pickles have ruined if you
don't like pickles it's on how many
things are beets on
what is pickles massage cheese i need to
tell you about beetroot because there's
a word in here that i need every
hamburger in america man
yeah and it's the natural chemical
compound
geosmin
it exists in soil and water and it's
responsible for that earthy smell
and taste and eating beets the thing i
precisely love about bees and beet salad
i bet you that's in carrots too because
they're down there in the in the end
because they're taking in their geosmin
i'm thinking down at the bottom yeah i i
agree i actually think this should be
nine and but we can't move pickles yet
let's just put it at seven i i know what
you're saying i think it pickles i think
that things that are commonly intruding
on people's culinary experience in
america
is this stuff that we've got to really
rank up there russians love beets they
do and beet salad has become like you
can't get away from a beet salad if you
want to these days at a restaurant oh
yeah i said russia bush but also
restaurants as well restaurant russian
russian restaurants
geozeman
i do hate bologna i do love bologna like
i i just everything about it man it's
perfectly spherical if you ever want to
know how to draw a circle it's like a
get a piece of baloney it's going to be
perfect because it's not natural it's so
processed listen i don't need it anymore
because it's so processed
in the mid 20th century i love doing
that bologna was all the rage it was
cheap easy to make and became widely
available with the rise of the packaged
food industry then in the 80s and 90s
parents grew concerned about fat and
sodium levels in processed meat i'm
baloney's popularity
diminished
fat and sodium
levels
baloney man listen
i probably i'm going to have health
problems later in life because did you
just refer to yourself as baloney man
how much baloney i had well it's pretty
good staple for me at lunch i don't make
it it's gotta be worse than turkey bacon
but i think let's put it at five and
then switch them later this is i i don't
really remember last time we did a
ranking
it's gonna get ugly we were so afraid to
put things at number one just like this
i think yeah but i really don't remember
i don't remember anything i had too much
baloney you don't need to it's on the
internet
and here we have it i knew this is
coming
yeah i can make my own dings link tell
us why
people hate olives because they're
stupid did you ask me a question
yeah i said tell us tell us what you
take the vo for this one why do people
hate olives
i love them people hate olives because
they taste like butt
they even have a hole
you know it just tastes so nasty wait
what is that taste you they have to go
through processing basically when
they're plucked off the tree they're so
bitter you can't eat them so they go
through processing and it damages their
tastes they put them in poison yep and
it's poison is the rest of the what i
was going to say well yeah it's a
survival instinct they put it they put
them in lie which is if you just go in
and if you were to take the stuff they
put olives in and drink it you'd die man
i i
i'm scared of one i think this is number
one man it might be number one if you're
like what kind of bitcoin is what kind
of foods do you not like
olives like this let's save it though i
i'm scared of number one we have a
school it might be number one here's the
reason why we shouldn't we shouldn't
save it we're going to have to switch so
many you try you want to if we were if
we're right we know we're right if we're
wrong we won't know we're wrong and
where it's at that's okay so put it in
at number one all right but we can move
it to number two later number
one oh that's a good one
but that's also the same thing as when
somebody calls us
and finally
well done steak well done yes
well done steak i'm on team make fun of
you if you order a well done steak at a
restaurant so this is some pretty
self-explanatory it's cause the cooking
process dries out the meat making it
tougher and less tender
technically medium rare is considered
perfectly cooked because the proteins
haven't started to break down but the
fat has rendered and given the steak a
juicy flavor this is not bad
it's not bad to me
i mean
compared to everything else we've eaten
but i mean here's the problem if i was
stranded somewhere is it number two go
ahead and throw it in what are you what
what are you doing uh writing this stuff
okay number two yeah sorry
um
cause that's what i mean that's we're
going to have to switch it later
but it has to go there now here's why i
think it's it could be that high i think
i know where you're going with this
because
it's it subverts expectations you're so
excited about this stage you ordered it
the right way you ordered it the right
way and it comes out well done and then
you're so angry and you've paid a lot
for it yeah it's one of the more
expensive things that you can buy even
if you send it back you have to wait so
you can't uncook it yeah we're locked in
right there let's find out how many we
actually have right okay so reminder you
have to get seven right and that
includes the three that we already
placed
and currently you have
six correct no
yes we are good at this we got
we're good at something
oh man this is the problem though link
we said we didn't feel good about well
done state going that high and it was
just it was just relegated to that slot
because of but circumstances but i had
chatter of it all i agree with your
logic though
turkey bacon's too high i think that
pickles are too low i like carrots i
like pickles i like beets they need to
stay close to the bottom well i really
enjoy where you've put both pickles and
bologna
i'm willing to bring turkey bacon down
and switch it with bologna i'm willing
to do that did you hear it really what i
said you hear them professionally you
said she's she said she was good when we
have baloney and pickles oh i think we
should move well done steak because i
while i agree with your logic i think
that it being number two is was
circumstantial and we backed into it and
i don't think we got that lucky i
android still may be high i might switch
it with anchovies just because people
like to throw anchovies under the bus
bring bring ring ring ring ring i think
our sources let's let's switch anchovies
in well done steak
let's see what happens let's see how
that looks
i think we lock in man all right we're
locking in
guys
i have some great news for you you now
have
seven correct
okay so what did what what you one right
and one wrong what did we do right
you when i said bring bring bring bring
um you
brought uh anchovies up is that what you
did yeah did you make that up yeah you
broke i guess what we were asking is can
you tell us the official list yeah yeah
yeah okay we can do that too i'm gonna
start from the bottom carrots you
already knew what number ten carrots
then we have pickles at number nine wow
yeah crazy
turkey bacon
number eight that's what i would i said
that we should put turkey bacon down
there number eight
well done steak at number seven
eggplant at number six
baloney at number
eight
baloney at number five
sushi at number four
can't take credit for that beets beets
at number three that is a travesty beets

eggplant people choose none

number one and olives number one okay
