- How different (upbeat music)
does Red Bull taste in other countries?
- Let's talk about that.
(fire roars and crackles)
Good Mythical Morning.
- Now I consider myself a snack lover,
also an aspiring world traveler,
so I take comfort in knowing that
as I realize my aspirations to travel the world,
if I ever feel disconnected from my American homeland,
I can just reach for an international version of a snack
that I know and love.
- But would you be in for an unexpected culture shock?
Just because the snack looks like what we're used to
doesn't mean that it tastes the same.
- That's true, so you know what we should do?
- Yeah.
- It's time for (upbeat music)
"Same Munchy, Different Country: Snacks Edition".
- Just like last time,
we're gonna be pitting American snacks against one
or more of their international counterparts,
and then we're gonna taste each of these,
and then we're gonna guess
which one is the American, - Yeah.
- but we're gonna experience the differences
across other distributions. - Experience the differences.
We get a point for each correct guess,
and the winner gets a very special prize,
a can of Lynx Body Spray.
- I don't have
my own body spray. - That's right,
because that's L-Y-N-X Body Spray,
the Australian version of Axe Body Spray.
You know you want it. (Link laughs)
- Yeah.
(upbeat music)
As you can see, we can't.
- We're getting started with Skittles from the U.S.,
the U.K., and Australia.
I've got a bowl right here in front of me.
- Oh, I got, oh, I got two bowls over here.
Let's start over here with your bowl.
- It feels like a Skittle to the fingers.
- Well, they're all Skittles to the mouth too.
I wonder, are they? - It tastes
like a Skittle to the mouth.
- I mean, there's multiple skitter flavors.
- Skitter flavors?
How many skitter flavors are there?
- I don't know, I'm not a Skittle aficionado,
but I wonder if there's different, complete flavors
and colors in other countries.
- Well, we got to go to a different bowls
to find that out.
- I'm gonna put-- - Is this your second bowl?
- [Link] Yeah, right here.
- It feels like a Skittle to the fingers.
- Just like a Skittle to the mouth.
- Feels like a Skittle to the mouth.
Oh, okay.
- Now I've kept, - This is a different
flavor Skittle.
- I've kept my first Skittle up in my gum line,
so I can bring it back down and keep eating it.
- But I got a different flavor.
- Yeah, that makes this really tough.
- Well, these skitters are pretty similars.
There a bowl? - Put that one up there
in my other gum line.
- This feels a little bit different to the fingers.
- Not to the mouth.
It's a different flavor. - (indistinct),
a different flavor.
- What are we gonna do?
- Guess like guess daddies.
- I don't know what to do now.
I mean, they're all, they all just tastes like Skittles.
I'm not determining a difference.
- Man. (Skittles rustle)
Is that a bowl?
- Yeah.
- Okay, the only thing I can note,
two are exactly the same,
and one has a slight
texture difference. - There's a sour.
One has a slight (claps hands)
texture difference.
- Oh gosh, I don't know, okay,
I'm just gonna have to guess.
Oh no, I gotta look at these.
I gotta look at them.
Let's just guess. - Okay.
- [Camerawoman] Put your hand
over the Americans Skittles in three, two, one.
- It's either the ones in front of me
or the are the ones on the right to Link.
- Well. - I'm already there,
I'm there.
- [Camerawoman] The American Skittles are on Rhett's side.
(bell chimes)
- Okay, so I was right, but I was lucky.
Let's look at this for a second now that we can see it.
- These are very similar.
- Okay, let's just put them all together
separately. - So these Skittles
in the middle are from Australia,
and the Skittles on Link's side are from the U.K.
- Do we know what differences
are on the packaging, - Well.
- because these are not, the U.K. ones
are not as bright. - U.K. was,
U.K. super not as bright, but also
they're softer. - What is,
which is which?
- [Camerawoman] Middle and (indistinct).
- My teeth just broke right through those.
- [Link] I don't know what you mean.
- [Camerawoman] Other way around.
- Okay. - So the main difference
is actually the sweetener
itself. - Fruit.
Fruits, okay. - The U.K.
and Australian versions of Skittles use glucose syrup,
and the U.S. version uses corn syrup.
- I couldn't tell a difference.
- Yeah.
I can't tell a difference (indistinct).
- The only difference is visual.
Well, actually.
- Yeah, I mean, the U.K. are a lot.
- [Rhett] Australia is brighter than the U.S.
- And U.K. is the dimmest,
but they all taste pretty much the same to us.
- Nope, I think the U.K. is super soft.
That's the only, that's another difference
compared to Australia and the United States.
- You're right, it's softer.
- That's all the differences.
You've heard it here.
- You'll be comforted everywhere with these.
- Yeah.
(upbeat music)
Pressure's on for me.
My favorite soft drink, Dr. Pepper.
We've got versions from the U.S., the U.K. and Japan.
- Okay.
They're the same pallor,
and I'll go with the left one.
- Same carbonation?
- Let's find out. (smacks lips)
- Okay. (Link sighs)
I don't. - I don't think
that's Dr. Pepper (indistinct).
- This tastes nothing like anything I've ever enjoyed.
(group laughs)
- Did you enjoy it though?
- I did not enjoy it.
- I didn't enjoy it, but I don't like Dr. Pepper.
- Okay, I cannot, I don't want to speak too loudly
about this. - Well,
this one's got more bite. - This one has more bite.
- That's all I'll say, but is it a familiar bite?
I don't know.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
- And finally. (smacks lips)
- I don't know man, this feels pretty easy to me.
To Dr. Daddy over here.
- This is tough for me.
This is clearly a different beast, but between these two.
- [Camerawoman] It's like a lame form of the Blue Man Group.
- Oh yeah, we are kind of bluish today,
in our clothing. - I wonder if the reason,
but I also enjoy Diet Dr. Pepper,
and I never drink regular Dr. Pepper,
so maybe this is throwing me off,
but I feel pretty good about this.
- [Camerawoman] Okay, hand over the American Dr. Pepper
in three, two, one.
- It's gotta be this. - I'm, the most bite,
but I don't know.
- It's the most familiar.
- [Camerawoman] You are both
correct. (bell chimes)
- Okay. - Yes.
- [Camerawoman] And then the one on Rhett's side
is Dr. Pepper from the U.K.,
and on Link's side is Dr. Pepper from Japan.
- Wait, what's happening in the U.K.?
I mean, Japan is getting close.
- 'Cause the packaging, the packaging
looks different. - So the thing
about the U.K. Dr. Pepper is it does not use
high fructose corn syrup like the U.S.
They use real sugar and some
artificial sweeteners. - Well, y'all need that.
Y'all need fructose,
high fructose corn syrup - Yeah.
- or something. - And the weird thing
is that in Japan, Dr. Pepper is not popular at all,
and the like kind of licorice-ish flavor is just not
something they do over there. - It's frowned upon.
- Yeah. - Well look what happened
into the top of the U.K. bottle.
It was like, they thought
they were gonna make a baby bottle,
and then they decided to make a soft drink bottle.
- Oh, it's a bubbly bubble.
- [Rhett] Yeah, what's up with that?
- You've got the bubbly bubble.
- Yes, I do.
- Mind the gap, mind that gap.
And this is just confusing, because their packaging
on the plastic bottle has a glass bottle on it.
(group laughs)
I mean, that's what's driving them away in Japan.
I mean, you're walking around Tokyo saying
that's the last thing I want.
- What? (clock alarm rings)
- It's been too long.
It really has. - Yeah.
- Not that that was too long.
- No, it was just, I could have kept going though.
- Too long in between going so long.
- Born to despair y'all.
- Did you see that coming?
Did I telegraph it too much?
I was trying to take you around.
- Walking around, yeah.
I knew that was coming.
(upbeat music)
- Before we taste what's before us,
want to remind you to check out our favorite
cooking show on the internet,
"Mythical Kitchen". - "Mythical Kitchen".
- Totally.
It's a great show.
We've got comradery unlike any other cooking show
that you will ever watch on the internet.
- Okay, now we've got Ritz Crackers cheese edition.
I think, I don't know how they say it.
I think it's just Ritz cheese crackers
from the U.S. and from Korea.
- Korea you said?
- Yeah, I did.
Never been to Korea. - Ritz, huh?
Oh, is it a,
oh, it's a sandwich. - So it's a sandwich.
- Okay.
Hmm.
- Yeah, that's good.
That sort of fake cheese taste.
Oh, I love it.
- Hmm.
Buttery Ritz, (fingers drum)
cheesy bits.
- [Rhett] I just went right by it.
- [Link] This one feels strange.
- Feels strange? - Wait, it's bigger.
Huh, is it bigger?
- Or is this just smaller than what you're used to?
- Yeah, it's definitely bigger, and,
- [Rhett] And the cheese is totally different.
- [Link] and it's taller.
- The cheese is super creamy over here.
- This one's a lot sweeter.
- The cheese is thick and creamy.
- Hmm, more to love.
- Yeah, I just love them. - I love both of them,
but they are, they're different.
I can't believe that they're called the same thing.
- They're very different, but,
- [Link] It must be that they're from different countries.
- I feel confident that I know which one is from the U.S.
- I think this is easy.
- [Camerawoman] Put your hand over the American Ritz
in three, two, one.
- It's gonna be this one. - Where's your hand?
There we go. - I've had these before,
and I haven't had them in Korea,
and they tasted like bits. - You are both
correct. (bell chimes)
- Look at how many bigger it is (indistinct).
- Now it's usually bigger in America.
Like we like to do things bigger,
but Korea said, uh uh uh, not so fast.
You think you got a big Ritz cracker?
- It's interesting that the Korean one says
Danish cheese on it.
The American one doesn't say Danish cheese does it?
- 'Cause people wouldn't buy it if it said that.
- [Camerawoman] So the main
difference - Oh, look at that.
- is that the U.S. version uses
a lot more processed ingredients including
high-fructose corn syrup. - That's cool.
- I can taste that. - And the Korean version
uses things - That's Korean.
- [Camerawoman] like rosemary and soybean powder and butter.
You know, real things. - I love both of them.
I really thought that these were just,
the big difference was this, they're are a lot sweeter
and less savory. - These are super tangy.
- [Camerawoman] Well, and in the Korean version,
there's more than twice as much sugar per serving.
- It is super sweet. - Which will make it sweeter.
- You know what?
I just think I like processed things more,
because I'm a good American boy.
- I just like this logo a lot.
Like this, that is so pleasing.
- Yeah, but you put that on a shelf
in like Walmart in the middle of like,
you know, Kansas, they're gonna be like,
"What the heck got on those?" - Well, don't worry,
boop, there we go. - There we go, Ritz!
- All right.
Whoop, whoop, whoop.
But that's just a pleasing logo.
- It is pleasing.
- Can we make that our logo?
(upbeat music)
Well what do we see here?
- Nothing. (group laughs)
- This is Red Bull from America,
China, and Thailand, Thailand.
Now I know from being in Thailand,
I was, I galavanted all over Thailand with my family.
- Yup, ate some corn. (group laughs)
- I don't remember any corn.
- But you did on the beach.
- They love to advertise energy drinks everywhere.
- They do, yeah.
You gotta have a lot of energy.
- And I know that Red Bull originated,
is that? - I got mine.
- Okay, I'll get it.
- So the one that's not in my hand is yours.
- Red Bull originated in Thailand under a different name,
and it was exported to us under the name Red Bull.
I'm a sip it.
I need to go back.
- Now if you just gave me that,
if you just gave me that somewhere,
I'd be like you just gave me a Red Bull.
- I think it tasted a little watered down to me.
- Hold on. - Yeah, right there.
Yeah. - You got yours?
- Yep, on nope, that's my,
don't put your finger in my. (group laughs)
Wowzer.
That is so much tarty. - That's got some tart.
- The first one. - So much tarty.
- The first one, yeah, it's like, I disagreed with you.
I never would have thought - Son, you're being suspended
for so much tarty. - that was Red Bull.
- We can't have any more tarties.
- Okay, here's, here, I'm gonna give you your third one.
- Oh, you're giving it to me.
- I'm giving it to you.
- Hold on, but this is. - Oh, there's something
in your hand already? - Yep, the second one.
So hold on,
one thing at a time.
I put the second one back down.
- Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, and then.
- The second one is not next to,
am I next to your second one?
- No, just go back. - You're good, you're good.
No no. - Put your hands back,
open your mouth. - Let go, let go.
- Okay, I'm ready for the third one.
- It's right here.
Feel my arm and then my hand? (group laughs)
- Oh, that is, that got more intimate than it needed to.
Eh, whoa.
- Whoa, that's strange. - That's something different.
- So if I go back to the,
this one's tepid too.
- Tepid is not the word I would use for this.
- Yeah, but I'm meaning that as like not tangy.
What's the opposite of tangy?
- Un-tangy, dis-tangy.
- One is the, by far the most disappointing.
- Three is okay. - Do I have mine or yours?
- What?
I don't need to taste two anymore,
because I was just tasting one and three again.
- Okay, yup. - You ready to guess?
Three, two, one.
- We gotta go here. - You are both
correct. (bell chimes)
- Yes. - And also somehow
did not spill any of that, which is very impressive.
- It's dramatically more tangy and tarty.
- [Camerawoman] So the one on Rhett's
side is from China, - But look at that can.
The Chinese can is amazing. - and on Link's side
is the Red Bull from Thailand.
- Thailand.
- Whoa, the Thailand bottle looks like medicine.
- (speaks in foreign language)
- First of all, Link, you got
a queen sweep I believe. (bell chimes)
You got all four of them right.
- I did, yeah.
It feels good to be queen.
- [Camerawoman] Well, I was gonna say,
the one difference that you really didn't point out
between all these Red Bulls is that
the only one that's carbonated
is the one from the U.S. - Is ours, yeah, yeah,
that's, I think that was the other thing
I was trying to say with tepid
is that they're flat. - It was just flat.
- Yeah.
- It has a real urine sort of look too.
I guess they all do.
- Oh yeah, I mean. - And if your urine
looks like that, you should drink more Red Bull.
Ironic, huh?
- I mean, does that mean all,
that's their expectation for an energy drink
is for it to be smooth, not carbonated.
- And in this kind of can, 'cause you remember--
- Give me my Lynx Body Spray.
Do we have it? - Bring that boy
some body spray. - Oh yeah,
spray me up. - He needs it.
- Spray me up.
- Oh, yeah, god.
- Africa.
So it's from Australia, but the scent is called Africa.
