- Is no spice twice as nice? - Let's talk about that. (groovy theme music) - Good mythical summer. - It is the last week of season 11 of Good Mythical Morning. But never fear, we will be back in full effect in August. - And in the meantime, check out our other channel, This Is Mythical, there's lots of amazing internetainment for you over there. Mythical beasts, we know the meaning of capsaicin. - The meaning, yes. - It means bad news for your body, 'cause it's spiciness, spiciness. We've had ghost peppers, and we've had the Carolina reaper. We have let them have their way with our bodies like two tiny hamsters made of fire, just crawling all through there, and out the back end. - Woah, yeah they did, they ran right out the back end, over and over again. - But you know what, at least the first part of that experience may be changing forever based on what we're gonna experience today. - Yes, now you may remember a while back we did these taste tripping pills that turn sour things sweet, well, oh the scientists have been at work again, and now they have developed pills that can actually neutralize the effects of capsaicin, or so they say. - Take out all the spice. - Take out the spice. - So we're gonna put this stuff to the test today, it's time for Is This Pill the Real Deal or Will It Give My Mouth a Fiery Feel? - So here it is. It's called Anti-cap, that's very catchy. - They got a great logo. - Capsaicin neutralizing tablets. Now this is how these things work, now these are, it's made for people who cannot stand spicy foods. - But still wanna eat spicy food? - Well it's like people who want to eat things with dairy in them, but they don't, they're lactose intolerant like me. - Well I'm curious if this is gonna give an experience that makes me want to eat spicy foods. - Okay, we're gonna find out. So there's a blend of herbs that coat the proteins on your tongue that respond to capsaicin, basically blocking the spice from ever hitting your taste receptors. Our entire crew has tried these, and it has worked on everyone, including Ellie who is like, she is the queen of not spicy things. - She's scared. - So here's what you're gonna do. We're gonna take these, we may have to time-ramp this because it takes a minute or so for these things to completely dissolve, so you put them on your tongue and let them dissolve, but you do not bite the pill and you want them to completely coat your tongue. - I'm told we don't wanna miss a spot, 'cause that spot will get hot. Tastes like candy. - Okay, I am breaking in for a second to let you know that this entire thing is just a joke for Link. There is no such thing as an anti-capsaicin pill, that doesn't exist, we made this whole thing up, but he doesn't know that. We went to great lengths to convince him that this was real. We created a website. We had Ellie's boyfriend create a YouTube video acting like they were working, 'cause Link doesn't know Ellie's boyfriend, he just seems like some dude on the internet. These pills are just chewable vitamins, but the whole time he's going to be thinking that it's working for me, but it's not, because it's all fake, enjoy. - Alright, it's dissolved, let's get to testing. - [Together] Round one. - Okay, we're starting off with a bacon-wrapped jalapeno. This jalapeno is 2,500 to 5,000 units on the Scoville scale, so we're starting kind of small, but I never like to eat a jalapeno. - Don't elect. - 'Cause I just don't like spicy foods, but again, maybe this will open up this world to me. - Alright, so I say we just, like, just get a healthy bite. - Dink it, and sink it. - Half or so. - There's like a spot on the roof of my mouth that I can feel real hotness, but not really anywhere else. - I don't feel anything. Like I, it's crazy, I feel like I'm tasting something that is, I can tell that it's spicy, like it tastes spicy, but it doesn't feel spicy, you know what I'm saying? - I'm getting a little spice, again, it's one spot right there, right there. - You missed a spot man. Oh you also dripped some drool out. - Oh sorry. That bacon was good, and I wasn't, I'm not distracted by, it's just, there's a little bit of hotness right there, too, but just a little bit. - And now I'm going to be trying to convince him that they are working, here's the thing, the first two rounds, I'm gonna be eating the same thing that he's eating, which is relatively spicy, not too spicy. - You're feeling nothing? - I taste spice, I don't feel spice. It's like a total, it's just like it's trippy. - You taste spice, but you don't feel spice? - Yes, like you can tell, oh, that tastes like something that's spicy, which is something that I like, but I don't feel the effects of spiciness. I mean, typically just biting a jalapeno like that would be hot. - Well I don't make a habit of it, so I'm gonna take your word for it, but I'm feeling good. - Alright, let's keep going up the scale. - [Together] Round two. - Okay, we're going right up the Scoville scale, Link. - 'Cause I'm feeling a little burningness here. - Well, I mean the pill, I mean pill's on your tongue, it's not down there. But we took, we ate some bananas man, to be ready for this. - That's a tip to help you. - Okay, this is serrano chili salsa verde, which is a green salsa made from serrano chilis, which are about 10,000 to 23,000 units. So we're going, like you know, almost four times as spicy at this point. - My nose is running a little bit, but not nearly as much as I know it would if I just ate a jalapeno. Okay, so you're taking, I'm not gonna take any more than you are, that's for sure. - Just a good healthy amount there, that's enough to tell if it's spicy. - Dink it. So far, it really just tastes like a really good salsa. - I could be eating guacamole. - I'm feeling some, you're not feel any warmth in the esophagal region? - Maybe a teeny bit right here, but us-- - The hot spot on the roof of my mouth is not any hotter now than it was a second ago. It's like, it's not a big deal at all. It's like if I ate a medium hot wing I think is what I'm experiencing, and that's just a residual from the first pepper. This is not giving me additional hotness. - This is a revolutionary experience for me. This could be guacamole. - Well it's not, and maybe your butthole will tell you. - Well, can I put the pill on my butthole. - [Together] Round three. - Okay, and now we have some bird's eye chili red curry that Lizzie has made for us. This looks great. - [Rhett] Lizzie you did a great job. - This is 50,000 to 100,000 units on the Scoville scale, so we continue to climb on up. - It smells hot. But the last two rounds, I'm gonna be eating things that have absolutely no spiciness at all. Somebody, we need to invest in this crap, because this is like Lactaid, this is like, could revolutionize a whole segment of the population. - Alright, let's try it. - Come on man, look, I'm getting it over here. - I would never even touch this stuff, so to me, this is a big daddy. You've got a lot more tolerance than I do brother. Dink it. - Here we go. This is blowing my freaking mind. The last time I had curry, it like, it was nuts how spicy it was. - I'm experiencing a little heat. I'm not gonna, my eyes are starting to water, now I feel heat in the back of my throat, and the very tip of my tongue, but the majority of my tongue is fine, but the underside of my tongue is starting to burn. - Really? (Link hiccups) Oh gosh, really? For me, I taste it, and I'm getting all the flavor that this typically has without any of the, like, crazy fiery effect that it would typically have. - I'm totally fine, too. - Do you need to take another pill? - Or some milk, maybe. - No listen, I don't think you understand. This is, like I feel like I need to become the spokesman for this product. - I think you are. - But I can't go if you can't come with me. Listen, - We can fire me later. - I love this product, it works great for me. My friend here's having a rough time with the curry. I mean, that's not gonna sell man. - This has revolutionized my life. I can eat things I never could enjoy before. It's opened up a whole new world of chili peppers. - Hold on, is it burning your mouth? - Can I have another pill? - Yeah. If you're gonna take one, I might as well take one. 'Cause I don't want it to wear off. - [Together] Round four. - Okay for the final stretch, we are going with a roasted habanero. - Now, what I've done is, I took two of these before kicking into this round. - And I took one additional one to recoat. Because it says on there that you can take up to - 10 in a day. - 10 in a day. - I mean it says if one doesn't work, use two, but like, I started to get nervous, so. - Okay, so we're at 150 to 350, that's quite a range, on the Scoville scale. So it could be anywhere from a little bit hotter than what we just had to three times as hot. The last round, I'm gonna be eating an orange bell pepper, while he's eating a roasted habanero. This is working so well for me. - I'm scared. - I am going full, I am going full pepper. I'm going full, I'm going, I'm taking this thing all the way to my stomach-town, and the only thing that's gonna be left is that little green part at the top. You going there with me? - I'm also afraid to swallow it, what if I just chew it around and then spit it, and at the moment that I would normally swallow it, I'm gonna spit it in into this thing. 'Cause you know, - What, but you ate the bananas man. - I ate two, I take two, I don't know man. 'Cause you know, later, later, - Get it in there, - I've had some bad experiences. - Get it in there, chew it up, and then, let's make a call at that point. - Because it doesn't change. If I swallow it, that doesn't affect the test, it just affects my quality of life the rest of the day. - Okay, alright, here, let's dink it. - Ah man. - Sink it. - Tastes funny. It doesn't taste hot. - This is blowing my, I cannot get over this. - You're not seriously feeling pain are you? - It's all over my tongue, I'm not feeling any pain. I'm gonna spit it out, though, 'cause I don't want to feel pain down there later. - Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, hold on a second. (Link retches) - My trash can stinks. It made me retch. - You spit it out? - Didn't you swallow it? - I swallowed the whole thing, I felt absolutely nothing. - I feel nothing, but again, it doesn't impact this part, man, I'm not gonna defend the fact that I don't want to send it down to the nethers. - You're not feeling anything on your mouth? - But I'm not feeling anything on my mouth, having added the additional pills. I haven't had anything to drink the whole time. - But I can't believe that you just spit it out man, you didn't do it, you didn't give it a full test. - I'm concerned about, you know, I've got, I mean now my, I'm really starting to, my ear's starting to burn. - Is it burning now? - Yeah, yeah it's starting to burn. It's starting to burn down here. - Like I feel absolutely nothing. - And up into my ear. - Like I might as well have just been eating a bell pepper. - My ear feels like it's on fire I should've put the pill in my ear. - What about the rest of your mouth, though? You keep spitting, though. You look like you're in a lot of discomfort, and I feel like I ate an apple. - I don't feel good at all, like my right nostril is running. But again, where the pill was on my tongue, I'm fine. I feel like I'm better than I was in the last round with less pill. - Really, that's interesting, 'cause those are just child's vitamins. - Are you kidding me? - No. (crew laughs) And this was a bell pepper. - I wondered why you kept looking at me like a weirdo. - I was just like, - And you were trying to get me to eat the pepper. I'm spitting the pepper out, I'm like, it's not part of the test. The test doesn't apply to here down. - The last one was so hard, was so hot and then you eat that, and you're like, that's not even a hot, and I'm like, hold on, how is this happening? Yeah, they made everything up. I mean just look at that. Yeah, it's just kids-- - I thought the logo sucked. - It's just kid's vitamins. - So what you're telling me is that I can eat hot foods. - Yeah! - And that I can't trust anyone here. I can't believe you were like trying to get me to eat the pepper. - I wanted you, I wanted there to be this big effect. - I really wanted it to work, like it was working for you, and I'm like, man, I don't wanna be a jerk. - Well that was a little bit of what we were doing, we were trying to do that whole thing that VSauce did, where I would kinda suggest to you that it was working, and you would fall in line. - I didn't even drink anything, I still haven't drunk anything. - Drink all the milk you want. I don't need any, 'cause that was a bell pepper. Thanks for liking, commenting, and subscribing.
