- Today we keep on ice cream truckin'.
- Let's talk about that.
(groovy electronic music)
Good Mythical Summer.
- Welcome back to day two
of our two day ice cream truck taste test.
Okay we're not tasting ice cream trucks,

- All right and as a reminder, we're off tomorrow,
but we're premiering a brand new video on Mythical Society.

- Now yesterday Link, myself
and you collectively moved Drumstick to the top
of the leader board with 23 points.
Will it keep the number one spot or will it get frozen out?
It's time for
♪ We're gonna take ice cream from the old time truck ♪
♪ We're gonna taste 'til we can't no more ♪
♪ We're gonna try the treats and pick the best ♪
♪ It's a big ice cream truck taste test ♪
- All right so we got five ice creams to taste
and look, Josh, the creepy ice cream truck driver
is back to give them to us.
- Hey did you know you don't legally need a driver's license
to drive one of these things?
- Oh gosh.
- Not surprising at all. - It does explain a lot.
- [Rhett] Here's what we got left, we got Choco Taco,
Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwich, Strawberry Shortcake,
Snow Cone, and the Ice Cream Sandwich.
- Let's do it.
- [Rhett and Link] Round one.
- Okay Link, since you are icier than me,
why don't you pick first today?
- [Link] I'll have two ice cream sandwiches please.
- Oh. - Two sandy creams.
- The old stand-by, the ice cream sandwich.
- Yeah I mean, I like these
because they, oh gosh, it's kinda melted.
- You're gonna have to just, you gotta extract it.
- 'Cause it gives you something to hold onto
that's not too melty.
- But you can do this, look, this is advanced techniques.
- But you don't even need to do that
and if you get a little bit of that chocolate
on your finger--
- You just lick it right off. - That's just fun.
- A-dink it.
- Sink it.
Very biteable.
- But it protects your teeth because it's got padding.
- It makes ice cream biting possible for people like me
which makes me feel empowered.
- Now my mom also had these in the freezer.
Good gracious, that woman kept everything.
- You might think this is boring.
- It's so succulent.
- Yeah it's kinda magical.
- Man I forgot how good these ice cream sandwiches are.
- Did you know that there are 46 ice cream sandwiches
eaten every second in America?
That's 98 every two seconds.
- I didn't think I as gonna go high with this one,
but I'm very much compelled to do it.
- It's very, very, very good.
- Not exciting but it's so tasty.
I'm gonna give it a seven.
- Wow, a seven. - Rhett.
Don't let me sway you.
- I'm gonna give it an eight.
- Wow.
- It's so simple but so good.
- What did the Mythical Beasts give?
- [Stevie] The Mythical Beasts gave it a seven
which brings the total to 22.
- Oh, it didn't beat the Drumstick though.
(sign clatters)
- Are you happy, Morgan?
(crew laughs)
- [Rhett and Link] Round two.
- Okay, let's get interesting with the Strawberry Shortcake.
- [Link] Hmm.
Never had this. - I've never had it either.
Seems like something I would have been all over
but, now look at that.
- It's like-- - It's got a coating.
- Of confetti.
- Confetti coating.
- Dink it, sink it.
- You wanna bite pretty deep so you can get
to the next layer. - Oh really?
- Yeah.
Is that cake?
- [Link] What is that on the outside, Josh?
- It's a crumb coating.
It's meant to mimic the approximate 200 seeds
on the outside of every strawberry.
- No it's not. (Rhett laughs)
- Okay. (Link and crew chuckle)
- If you disagree with me, I'll just say okay.
- Sounds good.
- His feelings are hurt but he's being positive about it.
- There's cake, is it cake?
- It makes it biteable. - It's not cake.
I keep thinking it's cake, it's not,
it's just more ice cream.
- I don't wanna overemphasize what this means to me
but the fact that I can bite this is--
- So if something-- - I feel like I'm always
opening up a world. - If something has
a protective coating, you can bite it.
Does that make you feel empowered?
- [Link] Mm-hmm and I typically don't like
strawberry flavored things. - I'm getting these very fast.
- I'm more of a chocolatey man but this is tasty though.
- It's better than I expected. - A lot better.
- I gotta say I like strawberry stuff.
I'll get a strawberry ice cream every once in awhile
but there's something about this that has a little bit
of a manufactured fruity taste which is rubbing me
the wrong way but I'm gonna give it a solid seven.
I'm gonna give it a seven.
- Yeah I can't go that far, I'm gonna give it a five.
- [Stevie] And the MBs gave it a six
which brings our total to 18.
- [Rhett] Man.
- [Link] Whoa.
- [Rhett] You're getting good at that.
- Come on. - I quit.
- [Rhett and Link] Round three.
- Josh, I'll take the chocolate chip cookie sandwich.
- [Josh] All righty.
- Two of 'em.
This sounds like a good idea.
- Now I've definitely had one of these.
They had these in the convenience store
that was in our dorm room.
- I never had one of those there.
- I had them regularly.
- I mean there's whole shops now that'll serve ice cream
in this manner like in different sandwiches.
So this has gotten fancy
but can the old school truck version win us over?
- Hey did you know that in Scotland and Ireland,
they call these sliders.
Also did you know that I'm not allowed to leave the state
by court order so I travel in my mind by reading.
(Link chuckles)
- That's a strategy.
- But don't take my word for it.
This is-- - Yeah it's really good.
- This is really good.
- Is it better than a regular ice cream sandwich?
- Yes.
- There's something about the ice cream sandwich material
that is really nostalgic to me that's making me like it.
- Yeah.
- But these cookies are really good
and it also has chocolate chips around the whole outside.
- Lots of great detailing.
I'm gonna give it an eight.
- Hmm, that's really good.
It doesn't have the crunch that I'm after
from the Drumstick. - Okay.
- But it's really good, I'm gonna give it an eight as well.
- And the Mythical Beasts?
- [Stevie] They gave it a six which brings the total to 22.
- [Rhett] Look at that, they tied,
ice cream sandwiches tied.
- [Rhett and Link] Round four.
- All right let's try a snow cone.
- [Link] Okay.
Snow cone at an ice cream truck?
- Yeah now this isn't the kinda snow cone
that you might get at a snow cone truck
where the guy's gonna make it for you.
This is pre-packaged snow coneness.
- What?
How could that be good?
This is bubblegum flavored. - How could that be opened?
- Blue raspberry, banana cherry.
They're throwing everything they got at it.
Free gumball inside.
If you dig deep enough.
- Who's gonna get to that first?
- Dink it, oh it's hard.
- Now this is gonna be difficult for you.
Do you need me to apply protective coating to it?
- Oh gosh, that's bad, guys.
- Oh it's so hard.
- Because it's not freshly made.
- Even strong tooth man can't do it.
Num.
- I'm just gonna try, look, there's the gumball.
- Where'd you get that?
- It's just down in the bottom.
- Oh.
(Link winces)
I know what that tastes like.
- I can't, I can't do it.
- Now the thing I will say-- - Look at my chill bumps.
- Watch me do this though,
is this gonna give you chill bumps?
(Link grunts)
- Oh it's horrifying, man.
Click away, click away!
Don't click away, please.
Oh they're gone, they're gone man, it's over.
No one's watching. - It's so icy.
- Did you know that the first flavor of snow cone
in the 1800s was thought to be egg custard
which could help explain why my van smells so strongly
of eggs but probably doesn't.
- Hmm.
Yeah because of the history of the item that you sell
that doesn't have egg custard.
- That's my story, I'm stickin' to it.
- It's probably something else, Josh.
- I cook a lot of eggs in the van.
- I was not able to taste this at all
because I was not able to consume it.
- Yeah I mean this is just a--
(whacks table)
This is just a solid chunk of ice
with some nasty flavoring on it.
And a gumball in the bottom.
- Now let me tell you,
the gumball is absolutely horrible as well.
Zero points from me.
- I don't believe in giving anything zero points.
So I'm gonna give it one.
- [Stevie] The MBs gave this a four which brings
the score to five.
Surprisingly they gave the Spongebob Popsicle
a lower score than the snow cone.
- [Rhett] Well they're both real bad so to each his own.
- [Rhett and Link] Round five.
- Okay Josh, we have saved the Choco Taco for last.
I think this one has a lot of potential.
- It feels like it's kinda like the Drumstick
but a different formation.
- Right, there's lots here.
Since we love the Drumstick,
I think we were subconsciously saving this one.
- Hmm. - To see if it could beat it.
- Okay. - But maybe we're wrong.
- Obviously it's a taco, not a ice cream cone.
I will say right off the bat,
the problem that you pointed out
about the Drumstick was the nuts falling off
and they've put the nuts into the chocolate.
- Mm-hmm, no nut fall off with this one
and you know we're fans of weird food combinations
so this is kind of a Will It Taco situation.
- A little bit.
- And did you know in Italy and Sweden,
they were actually marketed under the term winner taco.
- Winter taco?
- No, winner taco.
- I can't hear you through your mustache, winter?
- Winner. - Winner.
- Winner taco. - Ah, winner.
- Now it squished so much when I bit it
but I'm gonna peel back this layer.
There's a lining of chocolate on the entire taco shell.
- Oh wow. - The whole thing is lined
with chocolate. - Look at that.
There's lots of hidden treasures in here.
Is it just vanilla ice cream because it looks like
it has a chocolate swirl.
- There are chocolate ribbons in the ice cream itself.
My only complaint is the crispiness of the shell
is nothing like a Drumstick but every else about,
I mean it tastes great.
- You would expect the shell to have a crunch.
It has none, it's like soggy cardboard
but it does make it very biteable from the get-go.
So to me that kinda evens out.
I'm not experiencing as much of the nuttiness either.
- Something about the nuts just being out there
just raw, right in your face
like it is on the Drumstick,
something about that is better for me.
I don't know man, I thought that this was gonna be
an improved version of the Drumstick
and I don't know if it's 'cause Mama kept those
in the freezer and she didn't keep these in the freezer.
- Well your mama didn't keep 'em in my freezer
and I am agreeing, this is not as good.
I don't know what our, what did I rate the Drumstick at,
seven, 'cause I gotta go lower.
- [Stevie] Yep, you gave it a seven.
- Okay well then, my scale just ends at seven.
I'm gonna give this a six.
- And I'm gonna give it,
I had such high expectations for this.
I'm gonna give it a seven.
- [Stevie] The MBs also gave it a six
which brings its score to 19.
- And puts it in fourth place. - Ooh!
Okay well that means that the official best ice cream
on an ice cream truck according to us and you
is the Drumstick!
- Let's place to in the official gold cone
of ice cream truck greatness.
And now this Drumstick will be permanently displayed
on Rhett's mom's bedside table.
- Just give her a call if you wanna see it.
