- Does ketchup taste better
from a glass bottle? - Let's talk about that!
(light digital music)
"Good Mythical Summer." - Now, based on
the ketchup bottles that we've seen in fancy restaurants,
versus fast food restaurants, diners, or barbecue joints,
we think it is safe to assume
that glass ketchup bottles are considered better quality
by the general public,
but does the glass bottle really make ketchup,
or other condiments for that matter,
taste better than those soft packets
that you've got saved in your drawer
for the zombie apocalypse.
We don't know that's why we're gonna do this,
come on, quit asking so many questions.
- I have a sauce packet
section. - A sauce packet?
- A sauce packet. - A sauce packet.
- Section in our fridge.
I keep telling my family that it can just be in a drawer,
it doesn't have to be in the fridge,
but no one eats any of the packets anyway,
they've been there for years. - Okay.
- But I do think that the glass bottle
is gonna taste better.
- Well, I think I agree with you, but you know,
we don't know if we're right,
that's why we're doing this. - Aww.
- It's time for,
Condiments Are Served
In Many-A-Different Package,
but is it hard to tell the difference
like with Ben and Fred Savage?
- So we're gonna be tasting
a variety of condiments from glass receptacles,
plastic containers and packets.
Then we're gonna work together,
we get to work together
today man- - Hey yeah, all right,
yeah. - We get to work together,
but I'll still take full credit, deal?
- Well, you get full credit for the mistakes.
- We get to work together
to see if we can taste which is which
and we also get to individually choose our favorites
so we'll know what we prefer.
Each condiment vessel guessed correctly,
earns us one point, and if we get more than half right,
by the end of the game,
we'll win our very own personal, highly fancy,
sterling silver
mustard spoons. - Sounds like something
you'd be into,
but if- - Yeah.
- In any round we guess
all three incorrectly-
- Okay. - We'll receive
a punishment from Colonel Ketchup himself,
who we've been told,
definitely did not murder anyone in the library
with a candlestick,
"Clue" reference (chuckling). - Okay.
Even though 75% of Heinz Ketchup
is sold in the plastic squirt bottle,
the glass bottle is what they're known for,
at least by me, and you, not a sponsor,
but the company admits that the glass bottle
breaks the rules of good design,
because it's so hard to use- - Yeah.
- To get the freaking ketchup out,
but they claim that the glass
protects and preserves the product.
Let's see if we can taste that.
- Well right off the bat,
I'm seeing that A is darker
than B or C. - Hold up, hold up, B there?
- Well, you can see it's glass,
you can see. - Oh it's glass,
you can see (indistinct).
- You can see it
right on the screen. - But seeing it
through the glass could be confusing.
- Yeah, right, all right.
First of all, do you think that darker ketchup
is from what, a packet, plastic, or glass?
- I think it's from the factory
when they made it at night.
- This is gonna be,
we're not gonna do well this game.
(laughing)
I think that the brighter the ketchup
the fresher the ketchup.
I think this is packet ketchup,
I think that the dark is a packet ketchup.
- It doesn't, my brain tells me it's less appetizing
and it doesn't think it tastes good.
- Oh, this tastes different.
- So different.
- It tastes fresh and fruity.
- Now we did, we did check
that it is the same ingredients across all three.
- They don't like, yeah,
they don't add preservatives, or anything.
- So B is absolutely better than A.
Oh, that's the same as B, my friend.
- Is there, is there a? - All right, so let's put
A on packet. - We're saying,
we think packets the worst.
- All right, yeah, we think it's darker
and worser, worsest.
- Let me see if I can find a difference here.
- I'm not double dipping,
well I am double dipping- - I think that C,
I'm always going from this side,
I'm only staying on this side,
and I'm keeping my spoons in that side.
If you do the same thing,
it'll probably be easier for you, but it's fine,
I think C tastes better than B.
- C is my favorite,
C is my favorite. - Yeah.
- And let's say C
is glass because- - We're gonna go
with just what we, intuition says.
- All right.
- Cup A came from
the plastic bottle. - Okay, so the dark one
came from the plastic. - And it's the worst tasting.
- The worst one.
- Okay.
- B is from the glass.
- Oh. - We've messed up.
- We've missed all three. - And C is from the packet,
and that means you got
all of them wrong. (buzzing)
- And it also means that both of our favorites
are from- - The packet.
- Oh, there he is. - Oh no.
He has a wrench. - You look great.
All of a sudden I'm glad that we got 'em all wrong.
Is that a real mustache, Colonel?
- Yes, sir, you guys ready? - Yeah, to be murdered?
- Boop. (laughing)
- Before we shot this episode,
David was like, you know,
there is a chance that Chase,
as dressed up as he is, he may not show up
in the episode at all- - Yeah.
- Won't that be great, like I could tell
that David wanted us to be good
so that like you got dressed up for nothing,
you guys worked that out. - Yeah, but hey,
the news flash besides how great Chase looked is,
we liked the packet, man,
we're packet men. - Weird.
Well, let's see if it applies
to other condiments. - Okay, yeah,
hey don't, let's not draw any conclusions yet,
we're not packet men, we don't know.
- In 2020 Hellmann's Mayo
announced that they were committed to using
100% recycled plastic for their bottles.
They also vowed that by 2025,
their plastic bottles will all be reusable,
recyclable, and compostable. - But the question is
do the recycled bottles change the flavor
for the better
in your mouth environment. - Here's what else.
This is what else might be suspicious.
That's yellow, can you see that?
- Well, the label it,
see now- - I don't know
if you can see that on camera,
but I'm just
telling you right. - It is, and it's not.
- That is yellow. - Cover up the yellow.
- No, it's clearly
a different color. - It's definitely.
- So it's darker, right. - Let's start here.
- So I think that this is probably the plastic bottle
if we're going off of what we learned in round one.
- Yeah, because now the theory is
that it oxidizes and gets darker.
That's good.
- I was thinking it wasn't good.
- It's just mayonnaise. - But it's just
straight mayonnaise.
- Yeah, I mean, if you put mayonnaise in my mouth,
I like, but I don't have anything to compare it to yet.
- B tastes way stronger and tangier.
- Wow, yeah.
- Way better to me.
- Wow, yeah A- - I hate A,
I love B. - Whew, yeah.
- Like what, how could you be so different,
and it's also darker.
- This is fascinating. - But I like it more
which is the opposite
of the ketchup. - Um-hum.
- Am I a packet man, I don't know.
- This is watery, it's thinner.
- A little fishy almost.
- Well, I still think it tastes good.
Well okay, first of all,
and from a consistency standpoint,
C is the thinnest. - The thinnest,
which we would think maybe packet.
- Yeah, 'cause people are like (phlewbing) the packet.
Let's just- - But hold on,
but they said they didn't change it.
You think it being, I mean,
Hellmann's is not making it different.
- They're not making it different,
but then it is (phlewbing) in the environment.
- But I thought I was a packet man
and I don't like that one.
- You wanna be a packet man?
- A is definitively horrible,
like something got into it,
something snuck into it. - And we woulda said
that's the packet,
but after being packet men- - I think that's the plastic.
- In round one, now we're saying it's plastic.
- But hold on, but should we be
packet men or glass men?
We've made this mistake by- - Let's be scientists,
let's be impartial.
- I think the one that tastes the best
is the packet.
- So let's be packet men?
- Let's be packet men.
- And then- - That's our favorite
and it's the packet.
- But why would
the most viscous- - The viscous.
- Viscous be glass, that doesn't make any sense,
why the thinnest is the glass,
it has to be the packet.
- I agree with that logic,
but I thought- - Well then, there.
- I was a packet man. - Don't wanna be somebody,
be who you are and let's find out
who that is. - I'm a packet man.
- You don't know yet.
- I like- - It's too early.
- I like, which one, I like this one the best.
- Me too, we both like B- - And you think it's glass?
Okay, all right, let's see if we're glass men.
- Cup A came from
the glass jar. - Okay, so we
were wrong again. - Okay.
- Cup B came from
the packet (laughing). - Packet.
- We're packet men (laughing)!
- And cup C from the plastic bottle
which also means you're men who like
to guess incorrectly- (buzzing)
- For the entire- - We're packet men,
we have to trust it, man.
- Oh, I do now. - Okay.
- I do now.
- Hello everybody.
- Oh, he has a rope now.
- He lost the, the oculus. - Well, this is
a totally different guy. - It fell and I could not
find it.
(laughing)
- Oh, for real? - Are you ready.
- It is clear.
- Here come your boopsies.
- See, now he tells us
it's happening. - We knew it was coming,
just like now we know we are- - So hold on.
- Packet. - Oh yeah, we're packet men,
but what do we, sorry, say it again, I'm sorry,
I let you down, I was thinking about something else.
- Now we know we are.
- Packet men!
- You see what it feels like to be left out to dry?
- But hold on, but let me say something,
which one did we hate?
I hated A, and that was from the plastic,
well no, what was A from? - Glass.
- Glass, I hate glass.

Okay, now when you think of yellow mustard,
I immediately think of French's iconic yellow
(phlewbing) squirt bottle. - The squirt farties.
- But do you know about the French's
little jar of mustard- - Oh yes, old school.
- I mean you can get some of those in ketchup too,
but I love that, it's like, it's weird, but it's fancy,
and it's the
perfect opportunity. - But you know.
- To use my little spoon
that apparently we're probably
not gonna win 'cause we suck. - Yeah, at this point
we've lost, but you know what the best thing is,
the packets man, 'cause we're packet men.
- Yeah, we love the packets now.
- I'm gonna say right now, this one doesn't have one
that's like standing out as a different color.
- Ew, you don't wanna get
too much mustard on your spoon.
Woo, that's pungent. - I like mustard.
- Woo, that's pungent, oh.
Are you more of a mustard than a mayo man?
- It just depends
on what the dish is. - If you had
to choose only one for the rest of your life?
- I don't think I could do that,
I think I would just shrivel up and die
if you made me choose between may mayonnaise and mustard.
- I think, then I get both.
- This had a weird aftertaste,
B had a different aftertaste. - I think this is
our only difference.
- And this tastes almost grainy,
like a little milly. - Well, the consistency of it
is dirtish.
- A is my favorite off of just,
maybe it was just 'cause it was the first one I tried.
- There is a weird
aftertaste to B. - B.
- And then C is just not- - I think C
actually has the same aftertaste,
but it starts earlier. - Yeah, it's a
before taste too.
- So A is packet.
- Because we're packet men and we both like A,
we're agreeing on everything. - And now we know
we hate glass.
- We do.
- And plastic sorta like- - We're like AI,
we're learning. - Un-huh, so I'm 100% sure
that we're 100% right.
- Guys, I am so proud
of you. - AI!
- You're 100% right. - We are?
- Yeah. (laughing)
- Hey we're packet men- (dinging)
- All the way. - Yeah.
- So the plastic sucked,
but the glass sucked worse. - Okay, listen.
- And packets are great. - I just don't think
this can be discounted.
Like I think you have to understand,
just take a moment to understand
what has happened on your internet today, okay.
Two men, best friends
for a long time- - And it ain't over,
don't don't make it out
like it's over. - It's not over,
I'm just, I want you to understand
it for a second. - It's still happening.
- Two men who thought that glass was the best,
just like everybody thinks that glass is the best,
found out that glass is the worst
and packets- - Are the best.
- Yeah.
- That's happening right here on your screen.
Now, when you hear
the word condiment. - Uh-huh.
- You think of ketchup, mustard, and mayo,
but listen that sweet stuff we call, jelly,
also comes in packets, jars,
and squirt bottles now. - Good point.
- But do they change the flavors
of Smucker's Grape Jelly?
- I mean jelly, the glass has been
my go-to. - Um-hum.
- You get the convenience of the squirt bottle,
but it's not really as ubiquitous.
That is quite flavorless. - Flavorless?
- It's kinda low in flavor,
I'm hoping to get more flavor from the next one.
- Well hope in one hand and.
- Squirt jelly in the other,
see which one fills up more quickly, my brother.
- Yeah, B is much better, much better.
- Very different- - Thicker.
- What happened?
- We were also consistently commenting on the consistency
being different for the glass bottles
throughout this exercise, you okay?
- A is on another level, it's on packet level.
- You mean, C?
- C, yeah (laughing).
- You forgot your alphabet. - Oh man!
- Now I wanna clarify something,
I believe this is packet- - I'm telling ya.
- Because it got,
this is glass- - Yes.
- This is plastic,
this is packet, but- - Okay, glass.
- This is the packet
that they gave us, okay. - Plastic, packet.
- This isn't a normal packet
'cause it's got plastic on the bottom,
so it's like. - It's mostly plastic.
- But I still think- - For the foil.
- For the packet men we accept this as a packet.
- It's crazy better.
- What, how do they- - It's sweeter.
- What do they do in these packets?
I think there's more, I think there's more,
it's getting more things in it more quickly.
Like they're making a lot more
and so the things that are floating around
in the factory air
get into more packets.
- And you're positive about this?
- It's not. - Oh come on, Stevie,
don't do that to us. - No, that C
is absolutely so much better. - I'm gonna say this
in defensive packet men in case we're wrong.
This is not a normal packet,
this is not a squeeze packet. - Right.
- This has got plastic. - Right.
- So it could be throwing
everything off. - Yep, yep,
bring us the actual packet. - Okay, cup A
came from the glass jar. Correct.
- You're good, you're good.
- To get the spoon we had to get all three right,
it doesn't sound like we are. - Cup B
is from the packets, and cup C is from the plastic bottle.
- So the plastic bottle- (dinging)
Is the best for the jelly,
that's good to know,
I'm a little crushed. - I don't wanna
move past this.
I think, I wanna take a second
to let this process because- - Yeah.
- We were packet men. - That's not a packet,
this is not a packet. - That's not
a freakin' packet,
we're still packet men. - We're packet men.
This, you're giving us a tub. - You confused us packet men.
- I want a squirtalicious
(phlewbing) packet. - That's what we need
and it would be great, I'm telling ya right now,
it would be great. - I mean that's the,
they have it at Hardee's,
Hardee's has got it 'cause I'll put it on a biscuit.
- Yeah, he puts it
on a biscuit. - For breakfast.
- The packet man put it on a biscuit
at Hardee's. - But I gotta tell ya,
between these three it's astronomically
in a different zone of goodness.
- I think it got something as it was squirted out.
- I'll let you look
at the spoons- - Let me look at the spoons.
- But then I'm gonna take 'em home.
- Oh no- - Oh, look at this.
- Man, they are so nice and pretty.
- Oh, we don't get the spoons. - I mean, I kinda
didn't want that anyway. - Oh, we don't
get the spoons. - I'll be fine,
you just throw me some packets
of ketchup and mustard. - Okay, you can have it now.
- I mean, you could put this whole spoon in your mouth
and not even know it. - Swallow it.
- Yeah, you can keep it.
- No, I want you to have it Stevie.
- Okay, the packet men, in my mind we're still winners.
