- Are store brand chips
better than name brand chips? - Let's talk about that. (upbeat music) - Good Mythical Morning. - Hey, you wanna win a trip
to meet and eat with us? Well, all you gotta do is
pre-order our new novel, "The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek", and submit your proof of
purchase at bleakcreek.com to enter the sweepstakes,
the Bleak Creek BBQ Bonanza. - Yes, two winners and their guests will get an all-expense-paid
trip out to L.A. for a very mythical pig-picking
with us and the crew and tickets to Bleak Creek Conversations, and any pre-order from the past
count as proof of purchase. - Void where prohibited,
no purchase necessary, full rules on the website. - Now, potatoes. They're an incredibly
versatile root vegetable. With some skill, you can
turn 'em into anything, french fries, a small battery, or even a tiny rotting friend. - Or just chips, which I have
a tremendous weakness for. And I think that the name brands, Lay's, Doritos, Tostitos,
Fritos, Cheetos, all the o's, make me the weakest, but I could be wrong. Do store brands have
more game than I thought? It's time for Knock-Off
Knockout, Chips Edition. - Each round, we'll have four
bowls of chips in front of us. One will contain a big name
brand that we all know, and the other three will have
some variety of store brand or generic versions of
that same type of chip. - Okay, and we're gonna be competing to correctly guess the name brand, and the winner will be
named Chippy Longstocking. - Ah, there you go. - Let's taste. - [Both] Round one. - Okay, first up, we got the triangle that's wrecked more lives than the Bermuda based on addictive taste alone. Let's find the Dorito
that is nacho flavored. Now, this has got a lot of nacho cheese. - That's a good chip. I could get lost in a bag of those. - Mm hmm. I would say that's a Dorito. - Oh, this is distinctly different. - That is not a Dorito. Oh, we're competing, I
shouldn't tell you that. - [Rhett] That's a Dorito,
that's not a Dorito, got it! (Link laughs) - This one is more corny. - It's a corn chip. - It's way too corny.
- They're all corn chips. - This one looks like a Dorito. It tastes like a Dorito. - This is not gonna be easy. I thought this would be so easy. - This one has a lot of cheese, which I just dump cheese on
some of those by accident. This one's got a darker flavor,
like a darker corn flavor. - Whoops. - You're breaking something. This sucks. This is not a Dorito. This is not anything I wanna taste again. This one, I feel like, is my favorite, because it's my flavor-ite. - I don't know. They made these look the same. They look the same, man. - [Producer] All right, at this point, you're just eating a bunch of Doritos. - And I'm having a great time. - I love my job. - All right, are you ready
- You gonna make a man not do his job?
- To guess? - I'm ready, I'm ready. - I don't know, freakin',
I don't freakin' know. These three are (stammering). - I feel like I know. I'm making an educated guess. - Okay.
- Okay, here we go. Three, two, one. - Bam! I'm going with my initial instinct. - [Producer] Okay, the
Doritos are in bowl three. - Yes.
- How did you know? - I knew that these
were definitely not it. - What is that? - [Producer] Okay, so,
starting from my left, it's Clover Valley from Dollar General. So, those are your favorite, Link. - Those are good. - [Producer] Then Market Pantry from Target.
- Dollar General. They didn't taste good. - [Producer] Then Doritos, and then, Great Value from Walmart. - I thought the Great
Value did a great job of almost getting to a Dorito, but there is an almost intangible quality that hit me is a Dorito-ness, and it just hit me when I ate 'em. And that's what I went with. It was a soul connection. - [Both] Round two. - Okay, here we have four
different corn chips, all shaped like long-ass
toenail clippings. Our job is to identify the Fritos. I've had a lot of Fritos in my life, but I never really, I
don't ever look at my food. I just eat it. I just open the bag and I eat it. - These are darker. All right, just by scent
alone, I know which one it is. - Okay, well, I'm gonna eat 'em. Quit putting your freakin' nose in 'em. - I'm not actually touching. Mm, that's a good Frito
in number one slot. Number two tastes a lot better than I... Ugh, not good. That number two slot is jinxed. - Huh, number four is very salty. - That's burnt. Number three is unsalted and unburnt. Number four, hmm. I've lost all perspective. - You said when you smelled 'em, you knew. - But when I tasted 'em, I forgot.
- You didn't. I thought that... - We need some chili up in here. That would help. - [Producer] 'Kay, you ready? - No! - You ready? You're eatin' everything. Get your flag. - [Producer] Well, Link, you have, yep. (laughing) All right, here we go. Three, two, one. - All right, so you agree. And that was my scent
assessment as well as taste. - But I'll tell you right now,
I'm like 70% sure I'm right, 'cause these could be Fritos. - That could be it, not these two. - These could be Fritos. - [Producer] The real Fritos
are in bowl number two. - No they're not.
- Oh no, you are wrong. - Guys? Are you sure?
- The others are Market Pantry from Target.
- Why are they so dark? - [Producer] Then Fritos,
then Great Value from Walmart, and then Clover Valley
from Dollar General. - Fritos are so much darker
than anyone ever thought. - [Producer] Again, Link, your favorites were the Dollar General. - Dollar General. - I feel betrayed. - [Both] Round three. - Chester Cheetah says
that the cheese puffs are dangerously delicious, but are they actually
dangerously overpriced? Let's find out. These have less cheese. - Again, I just feel like
I haven't been looking at my food enough. - These are cheese-less. Oh my gosh. - They're not good. That tastes like, are
you sure that's just not a packing peanut? - [Link] Yeah, that's horrible. - I think that might be actual styrofoam. - And what about these? More cheese. - They're better than the first ones, but I wouldn't binge on those. - Look at the diameter. It's a smaller finger. - I feel like somebody who's
actually really familiar with a Cheeto puff would be like, oh, guys, it's so obvious which ones they are, but again, I never look,
it just goes (crunches). - Now that's a good one. Finally, we're getting to the good stuff. Now these are short and stubby, and these are longer and C'd. - Seed? That's not how Cheetos are made. You don't plant these
and they turn into trees. - It's like a C. I think these are the tastiest. Now y'all didn't throw Planters
up in this piece, did you? - Hold on, but do Cheetos cheese
puffs have a curve to them? - I don't know. 'Cause I was a Planters
cheese ball man growing up. - Yeah, a totally different world. They're just balls. - But they also had cylinders. - [Rhett] That tastes the best. - These are an honorable mention. - [Producer] All right. - The Fritos thing really threw me off. - I don't know if there's
a bend to 'em or not. - [Producer] Okay, here we go. Three, two, one. - Okay. - I thought there was a bend, but these taste better,
so I'm going with them. - I agree these taste the best. I'm going out on a limb
here, a curved limb. - [Producer] The real Cheetos
are in bowl number four. - Yes, okay
- Ah, yep. - So, what is, what? - [Producer] The ones that you
absolutely hated were Sprouts and then Market Pantry from Target and then Great Value from Walmart. - Great Value's doing a good job. - So, we didn't have no
Dollar General in this round. They would've been the best. - [Both] Round four. - Okay, it's time for
the ultimate chip to dip, and the most underwhelming,
but healthful snack to bring to a party,
Tostitos tortilla chips. - Now, if I asked you
before looking at these to describe Tostitos, what would you say is a hallmark of that chip? I would say thinness. - I wouldn't have said that. - Don't love that. - It's just a corn chip. - Not salty enough. - They're big. - These taste exactly
the same as number one. - No they don't. - [Link] What's different to you? - I don't think I can tell you. - Sure you can. You think they're better? - I don't think I can tell you. - Now these are consistently more curly. Not as flat, a lot more
structural integrity. - Thicker. That'll really dip something. - Oh yeah, and they're tasty too. Then, down here we've got-- - But your thinness comment
is really throwing me off. - These are the thickest ones so far, but not as curly. Those are the thinnest ones. - And you think thinness is the hallmark? - These do not taste,
these taste the best. These don't taste as good. - Man. - Which one of these would you want? - This sitting here eating
chips and confusing myself. - Mm hmm, especially after so much flavor in the other rounds, it's
kind of making me sad. - There's nothing, you can't
just look at 'em and tell. - Tostitos. All right, we're gonna have to vote. - [Producer] All right, sticks up. Here we go. Three, two, one. - I'm going for the thinnest one. - And you know what, you may be right. I've never thought about that. These just taste the most nostalgic to me. So I'm going with three. - [Producer] The real Tostitos
are in bowl number two. - Yes.
- Uh, you're right. They are thin. - [Producer] So which
ones were your favorite? - Link said he'd liked the
taste of the ones that I chose. - I like these a lot. - [Producer] Okay, so, from the left, it's Signature Select from Albertson's, then Kroger, and then number
four is Clover Valley. - Clover Valley? - So, Kroger is doing a really good job. And Kroger did a really good job with some other test we did. Kroger brings it pretty hard. - [Both] Round five. - Lay's Original, big name in chips, and a desirable bargaining chip in school playgrounds and prison yards. - Oh yeah, that one time I was in prison. - And I like, I like the curly ones, the ones that flop over on themselves. - If you gave me these and
told me they were Lay's, I would believe you. - Yes. They are great. You ate two. - I ate two of all of 'em. - Hmm. - Oh? - Our sample size here,
they're all smaller in size. - The oil on those is real good. - I was gonna say that
it's actually potato-ier. - And that's a good thing. Look at that, aw, look at
that, it's a double fold. - See, I don't think Lay's
actually do that double fold. - That's a good chip though. - Yeah it is. Moving on over here. That one's different. - This is a fine line here. - Yeah. This one's real good. - They're so crispy. - This one here puts that one to shame. Number four. - That's solid too. - They're all great, all those are small. Now I'm just eating them. They're all in my mouth together. - That's what I do. - But I know which one is the Lay's. - Okay, you ready?
- I don't, hold on. I only have a chance to tie. I gotta take this very seriously. - I know. - Okay. - [Producer] Now are you ready? - I got a weakness for chips, man. - Okay. - [Producer] Okay, three, two, one. - You were close, but it's
gotta be three, right? - [Producer] The Lay's Original chips are in bowl number four. (screaming) - What? - Hey.
- What? - [Producer] The others were Great Value, Signature Select, and Kroger. - They're all good. My personal opinion is
that they're all good. Again, I dug into my soul,
I dug into this place where it's not this decipherable taste. It's just this thing, it's a connection with like a deep part of myself. - I thought I'd made the connection. - No, I think you were
overthinking it, man. Those are good though.
- I was feelin'. These are the best. You think those are the best? - I think that they're all really good. I don't know which one is the best. I just knew that was Lay's. But you know what, all I know is we tied and that we are both
officially Chippy Longstocking. - Oh, what's happening? You were prepared for us to tie. Isn't that cute? - Wow, okay, this is awesome. (laughing) We're all winners today. Thanks for liking,

Guys, I have a problem. I really enjoy watching GMM, I watch nearly everyday, however, one of my biggest pet peeves is hearing people chewing food. As you know, they often eat on the show. Moral of the story is I don't know what to do.
This is becoming my new favorite game!
I love these types of episodes but holy moly the crunch sounds were setting off my sensory processing disorder big time
I really hate the titles of these. They now have 4 GMM's with the same exact title xD Just call it "Can We Find the Name Brand?" "Can We Find the Name Brand?: Soda" "Can we Find the Name Brand?: Chips" "Can We Find the Name Brand?: Cereals" and so on so its easier to find.
loved this ep, but i'm addicted to episodes like this (comparing name-brand, dollar-store, etc)
but it made me crave chips reeeeeallllly badly
