- If you're eating from a cup,
are name brands wassup?
- Let's talk about that.
(gentle upbeat music)
Gooooooood Mythical Morning.
- When you think of on-the-go snacks,
the first thing you probably think of is dry stuff.
Cookies, nuts, Chex Mix, or in my case,
a specially curated bag of nothin' but foldy chips.
I love a good foldy.
- Do you ever curate your own bag of foldy chips?
- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Oh, you do that on your weekend?
That's what you do on the weekends.
- Foldy chips for road trips.
That's what I say.
- But what if you're out on the town
and craving something a little less dry
and a little more goopy?
That's when you reach for the snack cup.
Now, I love a good snack cup!
- Oh.
- Love must be in the air, Link.
- Love is in the air,
and today we're gonna do you a solid
when it comes to the goop.
We're gonna find out if generic grocery store snack cups
are just as good as the name brands.
It's time for,
Knock-Off Knockout: Snack Cups Edition.
Stevie, what are we cupping with the snacks?
- [Stevie] In each snack category,
you'll be tasting four different snack cups
and trying to correctly identify the big name brand
from the generics.
The loser will have to take a bite
from the ultimate snack cup,
which is a cup filled with every name brand snack
from today's episode.
- I thought you gonna say-
- Could be good.
- Every name brand snack in the world.
- Could be bad.
(upbeat music)
- [Stevie] All right,
let's kick things off with some fruit cups.
You are looking for Dole.
- Dole? - Dole.
- Not Del Monte.
- You know what?
That's an important distinction.
- Man, there's no, the other ones are all generic,
so there's no Del Monte lurking.
- Del Monte could always be lurking.
- Now, this one is dark.
It's the peaches.
- I would say that it's not just dark.
I would say that it looks faded.
You know what I'm saying?
It's not colorful.
- I want a peach.
I want a pear.
- I'm assuming you avoid all the cherries.
- I want the juice and I'm leaving the cherry for you.
- [Rhett] Quite tasty, though.
- [Link] Let's compare it to this one.
- Hmm. Quite tasty.
- I didn't think it was that great.
This one-
- For a fruit cup.
- Looks a little more viscous in the syrup arena.
- Quite sweet.
- [Link] I'm really tasting the cherry in this one.
- The cherry has permeated.
- I want the cherry to stay in cherry land.
- Hmm.
Okay.
- And look at the cherries in this one.
They're like dyed.
They're probably all dyed.
- I think they get the cherries from the same place.
- Really?
- Cherry land.
- Now this one,
the fruit is a lot softer.
That one.
This one's my flavor.
- And this is another faded one.
This has a lot of pineapple.
- What the heck is this?
Just a bunch of white pineapple?
You know what fruit-
- Super pineapple flavor.
- I think is underrated?
Deserves a little more love?
The pear.
- I've been into pears lately.
- Every time I eat a pear,
I'm like, more of this in my life.
- I hiked to the top of a mountain recently
and ate a pear at the top.
- Did you find a pear up there?
- No. I took it with me.
- You took it with you?
- I took a pear with me.
- You kept telling yourself,
"If I make it his top, I get to eat that pear."
You get to eat your pear.
- There's nothing like-
- A pear?
- Sitting on top of a mountain and eating a pear.
- Mountaintop pear.
- Mountaintop pear is what I called it.
- Okay, I'm ready to vote!
- [Stevie] Okay.
Three, two, one.
- Wham!
This one's the best, man.
This one's the best.
- These two basically have a very similar look.
They're the most classic looking.
- That one scares me,
and this one is just tepid.
- [Stevie] The Dole Cherry Fruit Mix Cup
is in cup number four.
- What?
- What? What? What?
What are they doing?
- They're doing a lot of pineapple
because the Dole family-
- Because they're Dole.
- The Dole family loves the pineapple.
- Oh.
- They really upped the ratio.
I think me and you were in Del Monte land.
- We were in Del Monte land.
- Yep. Yeah.
- Which one?
- [Stevie] So the other ones were Kroger brand.
- Got little brown.
- [Stevie] Great Value by Walmart.
And Market Pantry from Target.
- Market Pantry is my pick,
and so I would achieve some savings and more enjoyment.
That's a win-win.
- Yeah.
You'd be in the Market Pantry
thinking you're in Del Monte land.
- Yeah. Yep, yep.
And I'd spend that extra money on-
- Pears.
- Put it in a jar and just-
- The pear jar.
- Feel more secure.
(upbeat music)
- [Stevie] It's time for shells and cheese.
You are gonna be looking for Velveeta.
- Velveeta.
- This round really matters.
May I ask you to do something for me?
- Hit my spoon twice like that?
- No.
- All right, dang.
- I would like for you pick up each of these
and give me an ASMR stir,
because that's part of what matters.
(cheese sauce swirling)
Okay.
Next one.
(cheese sauce swirling)
Same.
- Oh, if you wanna call it the same.
(cheese sauce swirling)
- This one's a little drier.
- Felt different. Felt different.
- I feel like I'm gonna pollute it.
And then finally.
(cheese sauce swirling)
Yeah, that one's dry too.
- That was everything I wanted it to be.
I love shells and cheese.
Have we ever determined that shells
are the best receptacle for cheese?
'Cause I think they are.
You ever said that on the show?
- I think the "Mythical Kitchen" did that.
Was there an exercise in that on the "Mythical Kitchen?"
- [Crew Member] "Myth Munchers."
- On "Myth Munchers," yeah.
- Yeah, it was the "Myth Munchers."
Shells are the best?
Yeah.
- So that-
- [Rhett] It's kind of bland.
- Well, none of 'em have salt and pepper,
but like one is oranger and it looks thicker.
It looks thicker, it looks better.
- The difference in flavor between one
and two is monumental.
- Yeah.
- It's like the difference before I ate that pear
and after I ate that pair on the top of the mountain.
- Number two gonna be hard to beat.
I mean, this one's thick.
Oh!
- [Rhett] That's pretty tasty.
- It might be better.
- It's different for sure.
I'm gonna immediately come back to this one just to-
- And then I'm going for number four.
Gotta keep pressing on before you go back, man.
- Oh, there's no rules, man.
- Yeah, the cheese isn't bringing it over here.
Really comes down to this.
And this.
About to poke me in the eye with a spoon.
- Well, coulda poked you right in the mouth.
- What is that nursery rhyme?
They gagged me.
Gag me with a spoon?
That's a nursery rhyme?
My mom used to tell it to me.
- Your mama made that up.
(Stevie laughing)
- It was like a taunt.
Somethin', somethin', somethin'.
Gag me with a spoon.
Like, my mom would say it.
- Link.
Listen, how many times do you have to tell us something
from your childhood that no one else knows about
because your family made it up?
Now here's the thing, though.
Somebody in the comments is like,
"My grandma told me to gag me with a spoon."
Okay! All right, we know!
It's fine!
- Beat?
It wasn't like whoop me with a spoon.
- Well, gagging is not great.
- Somethin', somethin', somethin'.
Gag me with a spoon.
She would taunt me all the time.
I'll have to call her.
- Yeah.
- I love her to death.
- Mom, what was that about gagging me with a spoon?
"Oh, I thought you forgot."
(Rhett laughs)
Okay.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- It's gotta be this one, right?
- This one's the best.
- This one is very good.
- That's notable.
- But the cheese on that one is more Velveeta-ish.
- [Stevie] The Velveeta is in cup number two.
- What! - Dang!
- Is number three?
- [Stevie] Well, can you guess what number three is?
- Kroger? - Kraft?
- [Stevie] Yeah, it's Kroger.
No, it's not Kraft.
That's not how this game works.
- Kroger. Kroger comes through for us.
- Now here's the thing I'll say about-
- It's good, Krog.
- The cheese is much smoother in the Velveeta,
which I thought that it would be a little bit more yellow.
But it does make sense 'cause the Velveeta melts so nice.
- But the number one was just like bland city.
- Great Value.
- [Stevie] No, it's actually
because it's Simple Truth from Kroger,
so that's like the one that's good for you.
- Okay.
- Yeah, the Simple Truth is it's not very good.
- Yep.
- [Stevie] And then the last one is Great Value by Walmart.
- It's okay.
- No, it wasn't.
(upbeat music)
- [Stevie] Okay, so these are strawberry gelatin snack cups.
I'm calling it that because only Jell-O
can legally call itself Jell-O,
and that's what you're looking for, Jell-O.
Also, this round's a little bit different
because we discovered in our research that no,
like virtually no generic store brands make gelatin
to compete with Jell-O,
so for this round,
the three other brands are just really small brands
that you haven't heard of.
- Interesting.
- It's a lot of trouble.
It's a lot of trouble.
- There's a competition.
- Because of the hooves.
- Yeah.
- You gotta find hooves,
and Jell-O's really got the corner on the hoof market.
- This is the deepest red over here.
- The deepest red.
- That's rich.
That's a party in my mouth.
- You really like Jell-O?
- No. But it's just got a lot of flavor.
I'm just describing it.
I'm doing my job.
- Okay.
- But no, I don't like Jell-O.
It makes me think of hospitalization.
- What about pear Jell-O?
They got pear Jell-O?
- Mountaintop pear Jell-O.
What if you got up to the top and there was a stand?
There was just like a dude,
his beard was so long he didn't have to wear clothes.
- He'd sell out every day.
- And he was selling beard on top of that mountain Jell-O.
- You get to the top of that mountain,
you want anything and everything.
That was a strange flavor to me.
- It's artificially sweetened is what it tastes like.
It just, it tastes more like a sweetener
than it does about like, than strawberries.
This one, though-
- That tastes like grape.
That tastes like grape.
Tell me that doesn't taste like grape.
- Well, I-
- Now that I'm saying it.
- Doesn't taste like grape,
but there's not a lot of flavor, y'all.
- Okay.
- Gag me with a spoon.
Did you, you looked it up, Carney?
- [Carney] Yeah.
- And?
- [Carney] It's just a saying.
No nursery rhyme.
- So the saying, what does the saying mean?
- [Carney] Like, that's gross.
- Oh, that's gross?
- Gag me with a spoon.
That tastes like bubble gum.
- Wow.
- That's a weird one.
All right.
I feel like these all have very distinct,
I thought this was gonna be really hard and maybe I'm wrong.
- Bubblegum. Nothing.
- But one of them tastes like
what I remember Jell-O tasting like.
Okay.
- [Stevie] A three, two, one.
- If it's not number one, then I don't know what.
- [Stevie] Well, there you go,
because it is in cup number one.
- [Both] Yes!
- These were-
- So much better.
- So different and so much better, you're right.
It is much better.
- [Stevie] The other ones are The Treat Life.
Winky.
- Winky?
- [Stevie] And Raymundo's.
- Raymundo's.
- Winky Raymundo's.
Star of this sweet life.
- [Stevie] Treat Life.
- I gotta say-
- Street life?
- [Stevie] No, not street. Treat.
- Kroger and Great Value and all y'all,
if y'all can get hold of some hooves,
I really think there's an opportunity here
because Winky is not doing a good job.
Winky, and Ramundo, and whatever else you said-
- Winky.
- There's an opportunity here.
(upbeat music)
- To celebrate the four year anniversary
of the Mythical Society,

mythicalsociety.com.
Now is the time.
- Come on. Come on.
- [Stevie] Okay, this is the oatmeal round,
and we're gonna use maple brown sugar flavor
across the board.
You're looking for Quaker.
- Quaker.
- Looking for a Quaker.
Not the first time I've done that.
Sometimes I'll just go out on the weekends looking
for a Quaker.
- Well, when they get-
- Just a little game I play with myself.
- Well, they don't have cell phones.
- Yeah.
- It's hard to find 'em.
- The first year I played it,
I was looking for people with a certain type of hat,
and then I realized that that was just a stereotype.
- Right.
Is them not having cell phones also a stereotype?
I'm sorry, Quakers.
What do you think-
- Quakers can be, anyone can be a Quaker.
Which is what makes the game so fun.
- That's a good oatmeal.
- What it turned into me-
- Are you a Quaker?
- What? Yeah.
It just turned into me asking people if they're a Quaker.
That's the game.
It's a good conversation starter.
- What do you think the psychological impact
of growing up with a mom who's constantly asking you
to gag her with a spoon is?
- Yeah, exactly.
We are experiencing it every single day.
- Number two is chunkier.
- [Both] Less flavorful.
- I'll tell you,
we are doing y'all a solid on the goop today.
- We are right in the same bowl.
I really like the third one.
- What?
My eyes are closed
and I just feel like you were whispering to me.
- I really like the third one.
The fourth one's dark.
- I actually really like the third one.
- Whoa!
- It's very thick.
- Lots of flavor that I don't like from the-
- It's so brown.
- The last one.
- This last one.
- Got it.
- Oatmeal is so bland and mushy.
I love it.
- [Rhett] Ready.
- I love it.
- [Stevie] Three, two.
- Oh, hold on.
What? I forgot to think.
Okay.
I'm ready.
I was, I love oatmeal.
That's all I've learned.
- [Stevie] One.
- See, it's either one or three.
No doubt about that.
- One was good.
I liked three.
I liked all of them except for two.
- I did not like the fourth one.
- [Stevie] The Quaker brand oatmeal is in bowl number three.
- Yes.
- Oh, snap.
- [Stevie] The first one is Good & Gather by Target.
- Y'all do it right sometimes.
- [Stevie] The second one is Kroger brand.
- Huh.
- Need some more flavor on that one, Kroger.
- [Stevie] And the last one is Great Value by Walmart.
- Y'all put too much weird flavor in that one.
(upbeat music)
- [Stevie] Last round features blueberry yogurt,
and you're looking for Yoplait.
- Yoplait!
- Yo plate.
Or my plate.
(crew laughs)
Now this one has a nice swirl to it.
- It has a lot of fruit in it.
Boy, that's a tasty yogurt.
- Mm!
- That is a tasty yogurt.
- That is a tasty yogurt!
- I'd share that with a stranger Quaker.
- On a mountaintop wearing nothing but a beard?
- The cool thing about the Quakers, though,
is that I haven't been to one of those services,
but if you go,
there's not like a preacher,
it's just people stand up as they feel led to say things
and then they just say things.
It's like a school board meeting.
- Oh, and those are always riveting.
- Those are the best these days.
- [Link] This one's really tangy.
- But artificial sweetener.
- It just doesn't bring the fruit flavor.
I can't think that this one's gonna bring the fruit flavor
'cause I don't even see fruit.
- Yeah, maybe the fruit's so blended.
- I think it's hard to mess up yogurt.
- Yogurt's good.
(Stevie laughs)
Everybody knows that.
- I am just a fan of everything
that you're putting in front of me today.
- Yeah. This is a great time.
- In terms of genres.
I just really like goopy snacks.
I love it.
It takes the pressure off the chompers.
- [Rhett] You're probably not gonna like that one.
Lemme just tell you right up front.
- Well, it's got whole blueberries in it.
I don't hate it, but,
wow.
It's a little, I don't know,
something doesn't seem right about it.
- Something doesn't seem right about it.
I wouldn't take that to the top of the mountain.
But I am thinking about adding yogurt
to my little pack that I take.
- That one is so tangy.
- So tangy.
And this one's so fruity.
- I know.
It's like, I'm torn.
- And this one's very uniform, but very good.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- Oh, you know what?
I gotta be honest.
I saw you going for that one and I changed my answer.
- Okay.
- Because I want to win.
- No shame in that.
- I don't want to tie.
- [Stevie] The yogurt-
- Well, no, I wouldn't have, I would've lost.
I have to go with something different to tie.
- Correct.
- Yes.
- [Stevie] Is in cup number four.
- What? - What?
(crew laughs)
- So yogurt is any man's game?
Any brand's game?
- I don't believe it.
I don't believe y'all.
- That's so strange.
Really?
We didn't even like it.
So what is number one, which we loved?
- [Stevie] That's 365 by Whole Foods.
- Good job.
- So good.
So good.
- [Stevie] And then Kroger brands.
- Kroger brought it, they brought the yogurt!
- Yes, Kroger!
- [Stevie] And Great Value by Walmart.
- They were all better than Yoplait.
- Kroger brings that tang to the party.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- All right.
So this means that I've lost.
- Yes.
- You get to take a bite out of-
- No, you get to take a bite out
of a bad cup that has everything in it.
- Well, maybe it's good.
- We'll find out in "Good Mythical More."
