What's gonna be in our mouths 200 years from now?
Let's talk about that.
Good Mythical Morning.
Today we're peering into the future to see
what the foods are tomorrow just may look and taste like.
And today's episode is sponsored by Hello Fresh,
America's number one meal kit.
Yeah, Hello Fresh offers so many recipes
to choose from each week
and their produce gets to you faster than a grocery store
so it arrives at peak freshness and flavor,
and that's what I really like to hear.
When a waiter asks me how I like my vegetables,
I'm always like, peak freshness, please.
Yes, please, and Hello Fresh's selection of tasty extras
is getting bigger and better every week,
featuring quick breakfasts and lunches, additional proteins,
savory sides, and drool-worthy desserts,
and you know what else is getting bigger?
My boys, my sons, they're getting bigger.
They're becoming men.
So the fact that Hello Fresh's larger box sizes
offer more servings and more savings
is welcome news at my house.
That's happening at my house, as well.
Also, we're trying to be more sustainable so we.
So am I. I know.
Okay, great. That's not,
that's not just your thing, that's our thing.
Okay, yeah, we like to be sustainable.
So we really like that Hello Fresh's carbon footprint
is 25% lower than that of meals
made from store-bought groceries.
That fact alone makes these rajas quesadillas
with salsa fresca, southwest crema,
and guacamole taste even better.
Mm, I can taste the rajas. Mm.
Oh, can you? That's good.

Again, that's hellofresh.com and use code GMM12
to get 12 free meals, including free shipping.
Mm!
Oh gosh.
I just had to, I had to swallow that quesadilla.
Okay, now when people think futuristic,
they usually think of flying cars and living on Mars,
but what about the food of the future?
It's time for,
The Future is Headed Straight for our Tasters.
Will it be a Burger With a Side of Fried Lasers?
Welcome to the future.
Is that your future voice?
I don't know think- Is it all in falsetto?
It's sustainable, I don't think it's sustainable.
Okay, every round, we're gonna be presented
with two mystery future foods.
One's going to be bad, one's going to be good,
but we're not gonna be able to tell which is which
just by looking at it. Uh-huh.
The power of choice lies in the energy board.
You'll grab a tube of goo.
Whoever has the longer tube of goo gets the power of choice,
and then we must deal with the immediate future
that is before us and decided by the person
with the power of choice.
Now, how did we acquire these foods of the future?
I mean, we've never been to the future.
I'm just gonna be honest.
Well, once I did.
But if you're familiar with Nostradamus,
the futurist from the 16th century
who correctly predicted the French Revolution
and the atom bomb. The atom bomb?
I actually believe he did it.
Emphasis on the bomb.
We tried to get him, couldn't do it, but we did get
his great-great-great-great-great-great-great
grandnephew, Mostradamus.
Oh!
Oh, zorks, I'm here from the future.
Are you calling us zorks,
or is that like a futuristic exclamation?
Nah, that's just what we say
when we're traveling through time.
Zorks. Zorks, yeah.
We're trying to anticipate what the future
might look like, and I think we've got
the shiny threads right, huh?
Yeah, I mean, it's a little basic.
You kinda just look like a couple of future dads
taking your sons to a turboball game, but you know.
Okay.
I think that's pretty accurate.
So this is your time travel device?
Yes, sir.
It's the finest time travel device
that a scientific mind can build.
Jeez, my relative, Nostradamus, he gets all this credit
just 'cause he like, sat around thinking of stuff like,
uh, maybe there's gonna be a bomb.
Yeah?
But like, I'm doing something about it.
I'm being proactive. You brought some foods.
I have many foods for you to sample.
Hopefully, your past palates will not be destroyed
by the futuristic flavors.
Zorks. Zorks.
Gentlemen, choose your tube of goo.
Mm, well, that one's temptingly tall.
This one's slender.
Whoop. Oop, you got me.
Pretty close.
But I've got you in girth. That matters more.
Nope, length is all that matters here in the future.
What's more important than the future, length or girth?
Enthusiasm. Oh, okay.
Great! I got the power of choice.
Gentlemen, today we start our mouth journeys
with some of the prettiest foods
I have ever found from the year 5,000.
Oh!
Behold, your eatables.
What the crap? Zorks!
You did a fricking teleportation of food.
That's right.
I can do all kinds of cool future junk.
Enjoy your food.
I will return to the time stream
to find your latest nummies.
Bye. Bye.
He's cool, man. He's a cool guy.
I think that thing- Zorks.
Is rope-powered.
There's no rope. There's no rope.
Okay. All right, Link-
I mean- This one's got toppings.
This one has holes.
This couldn't be made now.
Oh no, never, never.
This is definitely from the future, and it's been proven.
Oh, the Susan stays lazy in the future.
This one here, I mean, it looked like a 14-sided die.
This one, same thing but with cottage cheese on top?
I mean, speaking of lazy,
you think they just got lazy and put the nasty
in the topping?
That is a scary looking topping.
So is that a misdirection or is it true nasty for you?
I think it's a misdirection.
It's not cottage cheese, but it's close enough.
I'm locked in. This is your,
you're locked in?
Now you gotta really bite that stuff.
You gotta go for it. Yeah.
Let's both go for eating half this thing in one bite.
Okay.
Future dink it? Future sink it.
I think that's nasty.
Oh! Yeah.
What is it?
It's bigger bugs.
You know what? Ah.
Mostradamus, what did you just eat?
Mostradamus, I fell for the white stuff.
You have eaten a 3-D printed protein bar
that we created to help with population control
after the Great Human Lizard War of 4050.
Are you saying you just made me sterile?
Sorry, dude.
And you, sir, have eaten a 3-D printed fruit salad.
It's very nice.
Yes, it's a great side dish choice,
but it costs $1.50 extra.
Hello, it is Stevie from the future.
Link, you ate bugs.
Oh, bugs and some white junk.
Bugs and white junk.
Gentleman, snag your next tube of goo.
♪ Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ♪
♪ Whoo ♪
Oh my gosh. Whoa.
Oh, oh, oh no!
Oh, future goo all over you.
Oh, man, that's toxic.
That is a longy. Yeah, you're gonna wanna-
That is a longy. Oh, no!
Okay. Oh no way!
Look at that. Cool.
The future's got super long test tubes.
Oh, yeah, we got all kinds of liquids
in the future we need to hold.
Well, you have earned the power of choice.
All right, gentlemen, prepare your tongues and mouths
for the next thing to put in and on them.
Well, you've done it again, Mo.
Can I call you Mo?
It's a little too familiar, actually.
Okay, yeah.
What about 'Stradamus?
Yeah, that's cool, I'm into that.
Okay- This is some
of the jiggliest foods from the future.
Perfect for any date night of tomorrow.
Now if you'll excuse me, gentlemen,
I have to get your next snack.
Zork!
Oh, he just said, singular is zork.
There he goes.
Those are chicken nuggets, but it could be made
to look like chicken nuggets.
These are dark green spheres-
Globules. In a putrid
looking solution.
Both look very scary.
Do I know with what I know about this,
which is chicken nuggets?
But that looks like urine Jello.
I'm trying not to get too close,
'cause there's a smell coming from one of these.
I think I'm going with the nuggets.
I was hoping you wouldn't say that.
Unless they did something to the Jello in the future.
Oh gosh.
What is this gonna be?
So I'm getting some gelatin and some nugget,
oh, that looks like a nugget.
I'm afraid to dink whatever that is.
I'll just hit it
with it the knife. Future dink, future sink.
Oh, no! No!
No.
This is like a dead fish.
You're pretty close, Link.
You just ate an algae ball.
In the future, we extract them from merpeople.
Oh.
And Rhett, you ate chicken nugget Jello.
Yeah, that's what I thought it was.
In the future, we just like to mash up foods.
It saves a lot of time.
Okay. Why are you still pedaling?
Oh, I was just doing this to jack my quads.
Future swimsuit season coming up,
and I'm a little self-conscious
about my calves, and you know.
I understand.
Gentlemen, it is time to yank your next tube.
Oh.
That's not a euphemism in the future?
Oh, no, we don't care for that kind
of juvenile humor in the future.
Ha! Okay, all right,
okay, I'm sorry. Neither do I.
I'm learning. I'm gonna go for the tall-y.
Sophisticated shows like Cyber-Frasier.
Oop.
That one was literally just like, brp.
Yep, let's get rid of this puppy,
and that is power of choice for moi.
French in the future.
Gentlemen, you have eaten a lot of foods,
but what will happen when you have to eat drinks?
Whoa! It is is drinks.
Look at- Yeah,
we've got some like colloid situation.
Enjoy your drinks, gentlemen.
I have to go feed my meter.
Whoa!
Bye, Mo! You can't call him that.
'Stradamus. Thank you.
I hate glitter, and that seems to be all this is.
So even if it doesn't taste nasty, it never leaves
your system on the outside.
What's it supposed to do to the inside of your system?
And this thing here, delicate pumpkin-esque parfait
looks very tempting, so again,
the one to be afraid of is this one.
I completely disagree.
This is the one to be afraid of.
They could easily slide some nasty into that.
Yeah, you're right.
This is the one to be afraid of,
because that one's just glitter.
Yeah.
But I'm afraid of glitter.
I mean, can you poop after that?
One way to find out.
And does it make your poop like a unicorn?
Here's the cool thing.
When you drink this, you poop in the future.
Well, you sold me.
All right, I'm gonna go with the glitter.
I think you made the right choice.
Cool.
Cheers.
Oh, God, I've had two in a row.
I don't want another nasty.
Ah.
Yes.
It tastes like, it's super meaty,
but it's not the worst.
I mean, it could be worse, but like,
there's, is there deer in this, venison?
You have drank the pizza spice latte.
Oh, that's not bad.
Elon Musk, Jr. invented it to give
the most basic people something to tweet about.
Hmm.
And Link, you drank iron soda.
It is soda infused with iron.
It's what you need to drink if you ever want
to impregnate a robot.
Oh, well, I'll look into that.
Ooh, God.
Gentlemen, prepare to yank your final cylinders.
All right. There's only two left.
I want you to put your hand out at least.
But you get mad at me if I do it first, so.
I want you to do it first.
Okay.
Raise.
Ooh. Whoa.
I can't- Look at you.
Well. That one's more girth.
It seems- And longer.
But I'm very enthusiastic
about losing the power of choice.
Oh, uh, oh, you just,
you just soiled his craft.
Oh, man, now I can't go back to cowboy times.
Sorry.
That's okay, I didn't wanna go there anyway.
Gentlemen, prepare your mouth holes for the final gunk.
There it is!
You're very consistent in your future magic.
I mean, things are not there, then they are.
Can anybody do it in the future?
Uh, no.
Only me?
We'll see about that.
All right, gentlemen, enjoy your final snacks.
I have go return some VHS tapes to a video store,
which have become a thing again.
Oh, nice.
So you just can't help yourself.
You don't have the power of choice.
Oh, you got, that's right.
You got the power of choice.
But you just have to control the Lazy Susan.
I like things rotating.
You got a sizable cube
versus some sort of futuristic dumpling.
Hmm.
What might that cube be?
What might these dumplings be?
You can slide a lot of things into a dumpling.
I've tried.
I think the dumpling is just too suspicious.
It's green, after all.
So I'm going to give it to you.
Yeah, I don't know.
I'm afraid either way.
I think you got off easy on the last round,
so I feel like you deserve to get the nasty,
but that's not how this game works.
This thing is hard.
I don't know I'm gonna be able to get into this thing.
I'm gonna try, though.
Dink it, and-
Sink it.
What?
I don't know whether I screwed up or what.
It happened to me again, but is it happening to you, too?
This just tastes like old cheese.
This is like a, I don't know, a disturbing meat
with some nasty nasty on it.
Link, you have eaten the gross salt dumpling,
the favorite food of our horse overlords.
Horse overlords.
And what was this?
Oh, that is a vitamin cube.
A single lick can provide all the nutrients
that one needs
for a voyage to space.
You just bite off something you were supposed to lick
in the future.
Yeah, that's a good rule of thumb.
In the future, just lick it.
So I just got like my vitamin quotient for the week?
Oh yeah, sure. Okay.
And did you say I ate salty horse?
Oh, no, it's just the salt dumpling,
but our horse masters love them.
The horses are in charge and VHS tapes are back?
Yeah, I mean, you basically know everything you need to
to travel to the future.
VHS tapes are back, horses are our masters, just lick it.
Okay. Got it.
I think you had a tougher time today.
Mostradamus, thank you so much for being here.
Yeah, and thank you for subscribing
and clicking that bell.
Now you say, you know what time it is,
but in the future tense.
You know what time it will be.
