- What would you do ooh, ooh, for 19 Klondike bars?
- Let's talk about that.
Good mythical morning.
- Klondike bars, everybody's favorite chocolate covered,
then foil covered and polar bear topped, ice cream squares.
- You remember the first time you ever saw
or had a Klondike bar?
- I do, actually,
my nanny had them in her freezer when I was a kid
and I ate one and I was like,
"Wow, this is ice cream that I can actually bite."
- Oh really, you can bite this ice cream?
Cause I've been worried about today for you.
- Yeah, cause of the covering.
- Oh, the covering.
- Yes.
- Well, it makes sense
that you remember these from your childhood
because they did gain nationwide popularity
in the late seventies, early eighties.
But did you know,
Klondike bars have been around for almost a century?
- I didn't know that.
I also had no idea that they've since
gone way beyond just the classic
chocolate covered vanilla bar
and they've expanded to all kinds of new flavors
and completely different ice cream treats as well.
- Well, I can only imagine
a rapid-fire taste test of every single one
will show us definitively how they manage
to stay in business for so long.
It's time for Gut Check, Klondike Bars edition.
- All right, today we're going to be tasting
every single available Klondike ice cream product,
19 of them in total,
in total.
We're going to rank each one on a scale of one to 100,
based on our initial gut reactions.
- Then our scores will be added together
to give us the final four top rated Klondike products.
And then we're going to have those top four,
we'll try them all once more to officially declare
which one is the chosen frozen.
- And, since I am practically a pro
at scoring consistently now,
we gave away my third grade level visual aid
over on the mythical society.
- Didn't need it.
- But then members of the crew came up to me and said,
"You know what? Just to be safe,"
- Yeah, I agree with this.
- "let's get you a new visual aid."
I'm like, all right, whatever you guys want.
So this time I've got a new visual aid,
but it is at the college level.
- Well it's in specifically sort of, advanced calculus.
- I mean, it looks like an origami bird.
- Is this gonna help you?
- But this is freaking math.
I mean, I don't know.
Good, terrible, not good, okay.
When Pierre de Fermat invented subtraction,
it was incredibly important that he factored
in the gravitational pull of Pluto.
He didn't.
That is why this line is pointing
at the bottom of the graph.
- This is all BS, man.
- Link, if you're reading this aloud, please stop.
I don't know anything.
My college didn't even have a math class.
- Okay, good luck with that.
- [Stevie] Okay Gentlemen,
there will be a plethora of ice cream and chocolate
swimming down your gullets.
So you can cleanse your pallets today between each round
with some hot water to help get rid of the sweetness.
- That's my favorite beverage, how did you know.
- I love hot water.
- [Stevie] I actually really do like hot water,
little lemon.
- Not just hot water with nothing.
- There's no lemon.
- [Stevie] That'll be fine paired with today's treats.
The first category is Bars,
the classic shape that you all know and love.
And we'll begin with Original Vanilla Bar.
- So cold.
- That's what I remember.
That's solid.
It's solid, it's not the best thing I've ever had.
76.
That's not going to help you, man.
Both good and not good are both blue.
- There's numbers down here.
I'ma give that an 84.
- Okay, well he likes it
- [Stevie] Double Chocolate Bar.
- [Both] Double chocolate?
- That's better cause it's chocolate ice cream.
- Oh, that's what it was.
- I didn't even look at it, but I tasted it.
That's an 85.
- I'ma give that an 84.
- [Stevie] Dark Chocolate Bar.
- Not double?
It's vanilla, I looked.
- It's vanilla but it's got dark chocolate on the outside,
which actually, I like dark chocolate more in real life,
but not in this situation.
62.
- A 60.
- Heath Bar.
- Oh really?
Was it supposed to be toffee?
- There was a light toffeeness to it,
which I don't think you're going to like it at all.
- Oh, there it is in the aftertaste.
43.
- I like it, nothing to get too excited about.
71.
- [Stevie] Reese's Bar.
- For real?
- It's a peanut butter ice cream.
- That's good,
but it's not everything that it promised to be my mind.
- Yeah.
- Why don't you score it first?
- You know what? I agree.
I'm going to give it a 50.
It's artificial flavor.
- Yeah, the peanut butter is not doing it.
The peanut butter doesn't always do it for us, guys.
57.
- [Stevie] Wow.
Krunch Bar.
- Oh, okay.
- How are your teeth holding up?
- The shell is really helping.
- Have I got stuff on my beard?
Yeah?
- Do you just need me look?
There's a little something, right there.
I'm not getting any Krunch from that.
- That tastes like a regular one to me.
- 30.
(crew laughing)
- I mean, it said Krunch, I experienced zero Krunch.
- I didn't not like it, so I'm going to give it a 73.
- Cookies and Creme Bar.
- Yeah, here we go.
Here we go.
- It's fun to bite into a Klondike.
- I like their slogan, what would you do for a Klondike bar?
- I'd probably break the law for one.
- I forget what that was.
- Cookies and Creme, that's pretty heavenly.
79.
- 68.
- [Stevie] Mint Chocolate Chip.
- Oh.
- Alright.
- Oh man.
- That's refreshing.
It almost tastes good for you.
- I really like that.
- Is that healthy?
- That's an 86 for me, I like mint chocolate.
- Yeah, I mean, it does work.
I'm going to go up here now.
There's Theta.
- There's letters, yeah.
It's just not helpful.
- I'ma give it a 61.
- [Stevie] No Sugar Added Vanilla Bar.
- This is going to be great.
- Need sugar added.
- It's not bad.
- But it's not as bad as it could be.
- It tastes like snow cream.
- Snow cream? What's that?
(crew laughing)
Is this something you make?
- Yeah, you take snow
and then you just add sugar and some cream,
but you do add sugar.
- I hadn't been to your house when you made snow cream.
- I'ma give it a 49.
- It's not as good as I want it to be, 44.
- [Stevie] No Sugar Added Crunch Bar.
- Why are we in this?
- No sugar added.
- Now, this is a double disappointment for you
cause you hated Krunch bar
cause it didn't give you a crunch.
- Oh, I remember.
I don't remember what I gave it.
- You gave it a 30.
- Oh, thank you.
- But this has no sugar, so it should be less than 30.
Just, you don't need that chart, you need me.
- Don't tell me how to score.
- Give it a 21.
- 31.
- 38.
- The no sugars are not as bad
as we're making them out to be.
They really not.
- They just can't compete with actual sugar.
- Yeah, but if you don't want added sugar,
this ain't that bad.
- [Stevie] That concludes the Bar's category,
you made take sips of your delicious hot water.
- The thing is, I took three years of this in college.
- You know, this is Stevie's favorite drink.
- And then a fourth year of another thing
that was just as hard as calculus, and I made all A's.
- I was there with you, brother.
- In one ear out the other though, man.
- Don't remember a thing.
- I'm glad that I'm not devoting any energy
to retaining this stuff.
- [Stevie] And up next, we have the sandwiches category
beginning with Classic Vanilla Sandwich.
- I like that ice cream sandwich.
- Soft,
comforting.
- Oh, the cookie tastes on the end of that!
The aftertaste, whew!
- It just keeps getting better.
- 83!
- 88, baby.
- Whoa, now.
- [Stevie] Cookies and Creme Sandwich.
- Oh, my gracious.
That one's a little dry.
- It's like it's got the cookies and creme,
it's got the cookie inside the cream
and the cookie on the outside.
- I'm feeling that, but it's not as good to me.
74.
- I like it, 85.
- [Stevie] Mrs. Fields, Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwich.
- Mrs. Fields got in on this?
You gotta watch her.
- Mrs. Fields up in the Klondike.
- Something tastes fake about that.
I think she's not getting enough oxygen
up there in the Klondike.
- Yeah, she was light-headed for sure
when she goes making these.
- Yeah, something's weird about that cookie cookie, 55.
- I went only to 49, I'm sorry Mrs.
- Ooh, dang.
- [Stevie] Choco Tacos.
- I did not know this was in the Klondike world.
- Oh, man.
- There's a lot to experience.
- Many layers.
- Complex.
- And it's a taco.
- 76.
- I wanted to like this more, 74.
- The peanuts.
- [Stevie] And that concludes that category.
Now, we're onto the final category, which is Cones.
And first up we have Nuts For Vanilla.
- Nuts for Vanilla, okay.
You want us to bite some of the cone too?
- Yeah.
I might be grabbing your hand a lot.
- You grabbing hands?
- That's the only way I could get pressure on the cone.
- That's against the rules.
This is gut check, you gotta go hands free.
- Alright.
You're gonna have to really push it in my face.
- It tasted burnt to me.
- It tasted way better than the Choco taco.
- Really?
- Yes.
- What was it again?
- [Stevie] Nuts For Vanilla.
- I give that 85.
- I'm going to give that 69, but not in a good way.
- [Stevie] Vanilla Chillin'.
- I'm missing the nuts.
- I think the thing that you didn't like about the last one
was the nuts, cause you said it tastes burnt.
This tastes better to me.
- Well, 39.
- 87.
(crew giggling)
- I miss the nuts.
- 39.
- [Stevie] Classic Chocolate.
- You can't, what?
- I mean, that wasn't my fault.
- You're doing good.
I don't know what they're up to.
- That was McKayla's fault, but I caught it.
- He's like "I'm gonna have to grab it.
You need to shove it in my face."
It's like,
I don't tell you how to do your thing,
you don't tell me how to do my thing, and it was great.
- That's the best one, 89.
For me, I mean.
- Chocolate, that's nice.
74.
- [Stevie] Double Down Chocolate.
- Double down?
Double down.
- Too much chocolate.
- They're kinda all bleeding together to me now.
- 63.
- 7 0.
- [Stevie] Unicorn Dreamin'.
- Okay, this is a gimmick.
- Ew.
That's got some gelatin on it or something.
- That tastes awful.
- Ugh.
- I wish I could undo that.
- What is that on top?
- I don't know, something from the devil.
- Ugh.
Four.
- Is that a prank?
(crew laughing)
This is a prank one.
Y'all made that.
Five.
- Yeah.
- And that completes the cones category.
You've now tasted all of the Klondike products.
Your scores will now be tabulated
so that you may more closely review the top four items
and determine which is the best of the best.
- Before we've finished this,
how about a quick gut check
about the mythical kitchen channel?
How are you feeling about it?
- I'm feeling great about it.
- Well, that's good.
You know what? They also have a podcast,
A Hotdog Is A Sandwich, where Josh and Nicole
debate culinary quandaries, airing every Wednesday
wherever you get your podcasts.
- Also, I'm feeling pretty good about that.
- I'm glad we talk about this.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mythical kitchen, check it out,
and then evaluate your emotions.
- Where are we at here?
- [Stevie] According to you,
the top four flavors of Klondike products,
in no particular order, are Original Vanilla Bar,
Classic Vanilla Sandwich, Classic Chocolate Cone,
and Double Chocolate Bar.
- Okay, we've done it here.
- So, the original made it to the end.
- That feels good.
- Feels good about that.
- Open that puppy up,
I'ma open this puppy up.
- I mean, look at that, it's a beautiful experience.
- I'm gonna open up the Double Chocolate.
I really like their slogan,
what would you do for a Klondike?
In this case, a bar.
Alright, I'ma gonna take my bite of the,
yeah, let's start with that.
There's your chocolate.
It's weird,
in the moment the chocolate on chocolate
felt like my preference,
but now that I put them side by side,
I feel like there's too much going on
with the chocolate on the chocolate.
- Too much chocolate.
Yeah, you're right.
You lose that balance.
So we're kind of going backwards here.
We think the original is better than the double chocolate.
- But what about the sandwich?
Because it's basically-
- Yeah, now the sandwich really comes into play.
- It's a little bit like, you know,
it's the same sort of situation.
It's vanilla with the chocolate coating,
but it's a sandwich coating.
- It's a pillowy, pillowy cookie.
It's so soft.
- I prefer an ice cream sandwich over this.
- And you know what's weird about it?
It almost feels warm.
- Almost warm, and pillowy.
- Yeah, like the cookie-
- Doesn't the cookie taste better
than just the chocolate coating?
- It does.
It does.
And I know that there's other ice cream sandwiches out there
on the market,
but I dare any of them to be better than this one.
I think this is the golden standard of ice cream sandwiches.
- First of all, we just said
that original is better than chocolate
and this is better than original.
So we know that we're probably getting rid
of the chocolate on chocolate.
- Yeah, we already have.
And we've just gotten rid of that too.
- Well, we know that it's not the top.
So now it comes down to,
what's better between the sandwich and the cone?
This is not going how I expected.
I've never even seen this,
this is like something you give to astronauts.
- Classic Chocolate.
I like that it's got nice dome on top.
- Oh, that's beautiful.
- I'm gonna keep this one intact for purposes.
So here I am going off the other side.
- I love the complexity of that, man.
- Let me isolate a little bit of the ice cream.
- That is so tasty.
- Now, I will point out-
- This is so tasty too.
- I know it's tough.
Because, when you grab this thing and you start eating it,
what happens is you start to get
some of that soft pillowy, warm cookie on your finger.
- But what about this, Link?
- And that is really great.
- Oh yeah, there's chocolate in the bottom.
There's still a little bit left for you.
Man, dude.
- They put chocolate in the bottom,
they thought of everything.
This is tough.
So, we're putting the original in number three.
- If you're saying you think it's tough, to me,
that's good,
I don't actually think that it's tough.
To me, the complexity of this taste
and the way the chocolate and the nuts
and the chocolate syrup, the way this all comes together
is the same reason that I love the drum stick.
This is better than the original drum stick.
To me, I think that the cone takes the crown.
- I'm not going to argue with that, but only by a sliver.
So I'm putting this thing, climbing the mountain, man.
- So there we go.
- Matter of fact, I'm gonna put this thing,
it's almost up there, you know?
It's like, there we go.
- So the official, and this is unexpected,
the official Chosen Frozen,
the best thing you can get from Klondike,
is the Classic Chocolate Klondike Cone
that's just for astronauts.
- Who knew?
- Congratulations, Klondike.
(party poppers popping)
You win no matter what.
Not a sponsor.
- Always scares me.
- Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
- You know what time it is.
- I'm Alex.
- And I'm Gillian.
- We're at Devil's Churn, here in Oregon
and we just got engaged, and it's time to spin
the Wheel of Mythicality.
- Congratulations.
I will say, I feel like these Wheel of Mythicality videos,
people are getting closer and closer to danger.
- Yeah a lot of outdoors.
- I'm on top of a mountain,
I'm next to a wave that could kill me at any second.
- I love that people think about us
when they're about to die.
- Yeah, that's awesome.
I'd love to be somebody's last thought.
Okay.
Stay tuned for Good Mythical More,
we're going to give her an adulterated opinions
about different social etiquettes.
- And to find out where the Wheel of Mythicality
is gonna land.
- Nicolas's carnitas, corn salsa, hot salsa,
cheese, black beans, no rice.
- No rice?
Watching the carbs?
Yeah, rice is just, it's too much.
- You told me not to get rice.
- What?
