- Today we eat snacks that are older than our children. - Let's talk about that. (upbeat music) - Good Mythical Morning. - Losing a favorite
snack to discontinuation is one of the hardest
non-problems you can have. But still, it does hurt. - Yeah and there are some snacks that definitely be discontinued like rice cakes, beet chips, and those carrots handed out by that old lady down the street. - Oh. I steer clear of that lady. But there are other snacks
that have been discontinued that should be re-continued because they never should
have stopped continuing. - Ha!
- It's time for: To be Discontinued: Snack Edition. Each of the snacks we're
eating are dicontinued. - Yes.
- We're gonna be determining if the snacks are good enough to bring it back or nah, that's whack. - Some of this stuff
that we're about to try expired years ago so we do not recommend doing this at home but if you do we recommend having a very
clear path to the toilet. - Okay.
- Let's try that first one. - You know that boy Chester Cheetah he's always coming up with something new and for a limited time, back in 2015, he was carrying around
a big old cinnamon stick which he used to coat Cheetos Sweetos. You remember these? - Nope
- D'you remember 2015? - Nope, not a bit. - We paid 20 bucks for this on eBay they were only available for that year. It says on the front, right here, it says "guaranteed
fresh until printed date" and then it says "January 3rd". - Oh well January 3rd
comes around every year. So most recently it's...
- 2021. - Maybe it's still good. - Maybe it's still good. - Is it still good? (crinkling) - We still good? - Now every discontinued snack, or very long expired snack, has a certain flavor that wafts from it. - That immediately give me a headache - It's got it. It's got it but it's slight. - Oh.
- It's that... What is that? Is that just the... (rustling)
Is that just the smell of rot? - [Link] It's like a thrift smell. - I thought they were gonna be smaller. I don't know why, when
I looked at this bag I thought they were gonna
be like Cheerio sized. - This was the first--
- So I'm already happy. - This was the first sweet Cheetos snack. I don't know, have there
been some since then? If this sucks, probably not. Mulla mulla. Whoa okay yeah. - You think that's how you eat them? - Rhett, would you taste a
discontinued snack with me? - That's my right hand, tricked ya! I'm already with someone. (laughter) - I do like the fact that you can put them on your fingers like rings. (crunching) - Hold on, just try to get through the rot that's set in. - You know when you eat
something, you're like "you know what, ignore the rot and try to enjoy it". You love it when your
friends tell you that. - I like the approach. They've done the same thing that they do with Cheetos, which is to dust them. - There's a buttery innard to it. - Buttery, sugary, cinnamon-y. - Yeah so if you get past the rot these are good but-- - I think I can imagine these being good but I have a fundamental issue with them. - Okay. - And that is Chester himself. You think of tiger, he's got this... He can bite you at any time,
he can turn on you at any time, he's a wild animal, he can't be tamed. He's not sweet. - You couldn't call him a tiger, he's a cheetah man.
- Cheetah whatever. - Yeah.
- A spotted tiger that you can't trust.
- You know, he's a cheetah. - So I'm just saying he's this like cat that can attack you at any time. He's a savory creature and
I think he just looks... Well that's perfect. It feels out of place to have him trying to be sweet. I feel like he's trying to take advantage of my weakness. I like the idea of these
but for some reason the fact that it's, you know, paired with the Cheetos brand doesn't work for me, personally. I feel like it's a little bit sacrilegious that's all I gotta say. - Yeah so, even though
it could be enjoyed, there's a branding issue. So we're saying... - [Both] "Nah, that's whack". - Hey a new two man vlog dropped Saturday on the Rhett and Link channel and those two men are us
so we want to remind you we're vlogging every Saturday. So subscribe, click that bell, watch us out and about in our
lives, filming each other. - Yes, thank you. Okay next up we have
Mountain Dew Pitch Black II which was released just in
time for Halloween in 2005. Okay, this expired, or
was discontinued in 2005. It was a reprisal of Pitch Black, it's a sequel to Pitch Black. - Yeah, it says limited
edition right on it. So right from the beginning they knew this thing weren't gonna last. - Well, but, hold on. I don't remember, and
I have never heard of, Pitch Black, the first one.
- It still exists. - And then they bought a second one. - It's a grape soda and then this is the same grape soda with a sour bite. So let's open this. - But if nobody cares
about the first time around why do it again? That's like Daddy's Home 2. - I didn't see that. - Exactly
- I didn't see-- - Did you see Daddy's Home, home? - No. - Exactly. - That's not a good name for
a movie. Daddy's Home Home. Now, did you say this was $20 on eBay? - I said it was $20 on eBay, now I did. - Okay. - Now, liquids don't have the same rot factor that bagged solids do. - I'm not gonna down the whole can though. - Why not? I'll bet you... I'll give you $10 if
you down the whole can. (gargling) - Now if you look at the color of this stuff, it's not black. - I like sour things. - Look at the color of it! Now that's an exciting color. Why you gotta say it's black? There's nothing black about it! - Maybe it was black in 2005. - It doesn't make sense for something... To name something that has a flavor after the color, not the flavor. So that's just-- - Well Pitch Green doesn't make any sense. - Well that's true. - I kinda like this. I think I might watch Daddy's Home 2 now. I think I'm just gonna... I'm gonna start with Daddy's Home 2. - It's-- - Can you just start with that? Do you have to go back to the original? You don't know, you haven't seen it. Who's seen Daddy's Home? - Mel Gibson's in the second one - Okay, Zack, should I just... Can I start with two? - [Zack] Oh sure. - Oh sure he says. - He said I could, I can start with two. - I don't like this. The sour part make it
taste too much like candy. - I like the sour part. - Well it, you know,
it's got that Red Bull candy-ish type vibe going on. - But I just don't--
- I'm not a fan. - I don't drink these
kinds of drinks anymore. You know? I try to stay
away from these types-- - Are you recusing yourself? - So I feel like, as much
as I like the taste of it, I feel like I could get in trouble if I had like a 12 pack of these. Me, at home, alone with the 12 pack of Pitch Black II. - So I don't like it-- - Watching Daddy's Home 3. - In order to protect Rhett from himself we are saying for this one... - [Both] Nah, that's whack. - Ever wonder what a 25 year old bag of hard candies tastes like? (laughs) - Yeah.
- Me neither. But we're about to try these Hershey's TasteTations from 1995 to find out. Is this a stupid idea? - 1995, well it's hard candy. Hard stuff can't rot. - All these years it's still new and this is a trial pack. So this is probably the oldest version of TasteTations when they're just trying to get people to try it without buying it. - Yeah, we got butterscotch,
we got caramel, we got chocolate, and we got peppermint and they're double wrapped, so you know it's still good. It was wrapped and then
it was wrapped again. - I don't like butterscotch, what's this? Peppermint.
- Peppermint. Try the chocolate. - I'm just gonna try the chocolate. - I'll try the caramel. - That looks a little messed up. - Smell that, the rot got
through the double wrapping. - Tastes good! Now hard
candies are typically for-- - Caramel tastes like trash. - For old people. Old people who just wanna give kids candy. Like put candy in the jars and stuff. Ben said that when he was in high school that this was like a form of currency. People were trading this stuff. - I remember these. - He went to high school in
prison. That's what I think. - Butterscotch is better. - They're kinda good. - I think you mighta
gotten the best flavor. - Is there another thing
that still exists now that would compel us to say "oh I'll just get the chocolate Werthers, we don't need to bring this back". - Isn't there a hard chocolate thing you can suck on in the world right now? - Like a Tootsie Roll is too soft. - But a Tootsie Roll is just right. - I think this needs to
come back, I like the name. - Because we can't off the top of our head think of anything hard and chocolate to suck on besides a Tootsie Roll, we're saying... - [Both] Bring it back! - Okay the next snack we're trying is Simpsons themed popcorn from Israel. This stuff was sold in 1991 which means it's 29 years old, which is only a couple of years less than how long the Simpsons
has been on the air. - Yeah, that was 1989, so-- - We paid $25 for this on-- - Whoa we're blowing our budget! - Guys, listen you gotta
run this stuff by us. - Hold your horses. Now, look at that. So this never made it to America. - [Rhett] It did now brother. - Man, this can't be great. All right, let's open this up. - I like interesting popcorns. That's one of the things I'm into. - Didn't Bart Simpson say "eat my shorts"? - Yup. - They should have shorts, that you eat. And that should be something-- - They probably did it... It was probably a cereal. Shorts cereal. - Oh.
- Has it got the smell? Has it got the smell of... - It's got that thrift smell.
- Oh wow. I don't even have to get close to it. - Oh it's bad. - I mean, it... Whoa, it is so strong. - It instantly gives you a headache. - There is something that happens. I feel like... I think scientists should study this. I mean, there is a specific smell that comes from things that are rotting and there needs to be
more science around that. Gosh! Things that have like preservatives... I'm not gonna eat that, it's
gonna give me a headache. - Basically this is just-- - It's just popcorn.
- It's just popcorn. - "Do we need Simpsons themed popcorn?" is the question that we're asking. - There's nothing that's
making me excited. - You'd rather eat your shorts. - I'd rather eat shorts. All right, so we're saying... - [Both] Nah, that's whack. - This little bag of peanuts, that we're about to eat, could be 72 years old. (laughs) - I hope it is.
- I mean, they're at least 32 years old, they could be 72 years old. It comes from a discontinued airline, PSA, that's Pacific Southwest Airlines, which operated out of San Diego between 1948 and 1988, which brings us to the 32 to 72 years old. We paid $28 and eight cents.
- Oh, wow. - On eBay for these. - So these are a hot commodity on eBay. - You wanna-- - Made by the Pacific Nut Company. - I'm gonna open these. - Chino, California. - [Rhett] Should we open both of 'em? - [Link] No leave those closed because what I've just discovered is that ain't the typical
color of a peanut. - Well, hold on, have you ever
seen a peanut from the past? - I mean, it's so brown I've gotta take it off the brown desk and put it on a paper towel. - What if peanuts have just
undergone slight evolution and they've been changing
color for the last 72 years and no one's really thought about it 'cause it's happened so
slowly and if you were to look at pictures of peanuts from 1942? '48. You'd be like, "you know what? They were real brown back in the day, until agricultural monoculture." - Agricultural monoculture.
- And big farm, big farms. - Rhett, I want you to go,
where no man has gone before and eat a 72 year old peanut first. You'll be like Armstrong
stepping his foot down saying a slogan. - 72 year old nuts. Isn't there like a Grindr for old people? - Like, one big enough
to put old people in? (laughter) It's called a wood chipper. (laughter) Why are you sniffing it so intently? It's horrible smell.
- You know what? I'm starting to like it. - Oh, you're starting to get into it. - I feel like what happened was, is that it-- - Evolution, I heard you. - No no, it's different. Things get bad and then, they
start getting good again. - Like the show. - I believe... (laughter) Like maybe these have been replaced with another thing, like petrified wood isn't really wood, it's the minerals that replaced it just like a fossil. - I'm with you. - So maybe this has been
replaced by something. - Here's the pro--
- And the only way to find out is to put the nut in your mouth. - Now before you put
the nut in your mouth, they're moist, dude. That's disturbing to me. - Oh wow, spongy.
- They're not dry. They're not dry. After all these years-- - There's some give to it. It's like a little piece of rubber. - Yeah, they've absorbed stuff. - Rubber. - You gonna bite it?
- I mean, think about... What were regulations like in-- - They didn't have 'em. - In those days? - Yeah, they didn't have 'em. A PSA flight probably
crashed like every 3/4 days. - They were smoking on
planes, just everywhere, everybody just smoking. This is probably just
nothing but nicotine. - Oh, okay. (laughter) - Dink it? - It'll be like a patch,
put it under your arm. - And sink it. - I mean it's chewy. - There's no crunch. (laughter) There's no crunch at all. - No pop.
- It made absolutely no noise. - There's an acrid... - And now it's just sort
of sticking to my lips. - It's so sour, it's like eating... Somebody peed in this. The pilot.
- That explains-- - The pilot peed nicotine. - Our pilots pee nicotine in every pouch! (laughter) - Ugh, well, okay. - But you know what? - Did we really have-- Hold on, but I have to answer the question of whether or not we should bring back peanuts on planes? - Yeah, I just, I think we need more peanuts on planes. - Let's just recenter, like we ate 72 year old peanuts just to determine if something that already
happens on every plane should continue to happen on every plane. - Yeah, they really pulled
one over on us this time. But we got the clicks. (laughter) And we are saying... Nah!
- Bring it back! Yeah, bring it back because
it's just peanuts on planes. - They're not gone, Rhett. They're not gone.
- But if they ever do go away, they should be brought back. - Okay, I'm with that. If peanuts ever go away from planes they should be brought back, so... - [Both] Bring it back! - Okay, so in summary we're saying, Hershey's TasteTations
and peanuts on planes, in general, should definitely be a thing. - Thank you for subscribing
and clicking that bell. Ding dong!
- You know what time it is. - Hi, I'm Candace, from
Rochester, Minnesota. And it's time to spin the Wheel... Of Mythicality. - Oh, a little magic. - Was that real magic of fake magic? - Real magic. - Click the top link to watch us cook 13 year old Kraft mac n cheese. A Good Mythical Morning.
- And to find out where the Wheel of Mythicality's gonna land. Leslie, Tyler, we're going together but she's apparently really
has feelings for Tyler. - Wait--
- And I was like, "you idiot that's her full name." "Leslie Tyler (beep) is her name."
Pitch Black needs to make a comeback, easily best dew flavor
So yeah. Over the course of 14 years Pitch Black II magically turns into Berry Monsoon
I watch this show every morning and I was kind of disgusted that it was green when they poured it into a glass.
