- We're about to eat
some 28-year-old popcorn. - Let's talk about that. (upbeat music) Good mythical morning! - The phrase, "You look like
a snack," is a compliment. Did you know that? - Yes. - Okay, good. But if it were a literal statement, what snack would you be? - I'd be a Twizzler,
long, lean, and twisted. (chuckling) - Okay, is that a confession of sorts? - No, I'm proud. I'm a proud man. - Okay, today we're gonna
get into some literal snacks, and at least one of them is literally as old as
Kyrie Irving, that's 28. They've all been discontinued, but should they have been? It's time for "To Be Discontinued: More More Snacks Edition." We're gonna be traveling back in time and tasting a bunch of discontinued snacks to decide if the makers
should bring it back or nah, that's whack. And yes, they're all expired, but we're gonna try and ignore that when making our decisions. - And first up, we got
Starburst Sweet Heat Chews. These were discontinued in 2018, so it's our most recently
discontinued snack. - It says, "New!" - It was at one point. You wanna open yours? I
don't wanna open mine. These are like collector's items now. I'll save these for later. - Yeah, we paid freaking $22. - These officially expired
on July 27th of 2019, so you know, a year or so ago. We can take that. They come in flavors Fiery
Watermelon, Flamin' Mango, and Pipin' Pineapple. - Sounds like a acapella
group on a cruise ship. ♪ Pipin' pipin' pipin' pipin' ♪ ♪ Oo-Ee look at us ♪
♪ Pipin' pipin' pipin' pipin' ♪ ♪ We're the piping pineapples ♪
♪ Pipin' pipin' pipin' pipin' ♪ ♪ Oo-Ee look at us ♪
♪ Pipin' pipin' pipin' pipin' ♪ ♪ We're a little bit spicy ♪
♪ Pipin' pipin' pipin' pipin' ♪ - We're the band who sings their name. ♪ Oo-Ee ♪ That's what we do (laughing)- on the cruise ship.
- That's what all the acapella groups do when they come out. Now according to Mythical Chef Josh, Starbursts are just sexy taffy. - Yeah. - And they got a little sexier when they got a little steamier. The heat hits you secondarily. It's not- - Ooh, I like this. I might even go on a cruise
again to get one of these. I've never been on a cruise. - I've never been on a cruise either. - And the events of the last year make me think I never will. (chuckles) - It's not too much spicy. I think this is good
because it's not too spicy and then you can give it to somebody and it'll really surprise them. What's wrong with this Starburst? - Why didn't this work? - I don't think people
thought they wanted it. - Well, people thought wrong. - Yeah, I don't even like spicy stuff and I like this 'cause it's
just different, steamier. - Okay, well, this is easy for us. We're gonna say, Starburst
Sweet Heat Chews, - [Both] bring it back! - And now we've got spiked Mountain Dew, discontinued in 2017. We paid $6 for the cans that we got. And before we get your hopes up, it is not spiked with alcohol. It's just spiked with cactus juice accent. - That makes me think I know
why this didn't catch on. Because when you tell
somebody something's spiked, and you're, "No, no, it's
just got cactus juice in it. It's not actually alcoholic." Now, this expired in
2017, we paid $6 for them. Is it Mountain Dew Spiked,
or is it Spiked Mountain Dew? Because I wanna call
it Mountain Dew Spiked. Mountain Dew Spiked! - I think it's Mountain Dew Spiked because it is beneath the
words Mountain and Dew. - Now, just from the sniff- - It sniffs weird. - You can tell it's not actually spiked. - Let's look at.. See, now- - Look at the pour. - That doesn't look like- - It looks like pink lemonade. And boy, does it have
the fizz still. It does. - Look at that. That glass
is perfectly 12 ounces. - Mine's a little bit smaller I guess. - Why would you make the glass just that much less than 12 ounces? Just go all the way. It was like, "This is
an 11.9 ounce glass." - You know it's probably hand-blown. And so you can't get it right every time. - It's a hand-blown glass. (chuckles) - We only deal with
hand-blown glass here, right? Because I requested that
- That's our standard. - In 2016, I said only
hand-blown glass on this show. - And I only drink spiked things that don't have alcohol in them. - This is raspberry lemonade spiked with prickly pear cactus juice. - You can get spiked by a cactus. I think that's what they were thinking. - Is this one of those cactus that you can mix up, let it ferment,
and then see things? - No. It does (chuckles),
it does have a bite to it. - What if it was spiked
with peyote? (laughing) It'd probably still be around. - Spiked with peyote. (laughing) - See things you've never seen before. - I think they would just
call it Mountain Dew Peyote. - Encounter the bear head on! (laughing) - The bear? Is there a bear? - You would just see things, man, maybe a bear shows up. - Okay, you know about a bear. I don't know what you've been up to. - I like this a lot. - I do like it, but it's
not marketed properly. You gotta call it something else. - Yeah, yeah. It tastes great,
but it's a horrible campaign. - Mountain Dew, Mate with
a Bear, how about that? - In Canada, they refer to
it as Mountain Dew Extra. - That's better. Anything
is better than Spiked. - So what are we saying? We're saying don't
bring it back because... - Well, we're saying bring it back- - If you're gonna bring it
back, call it something else. - Call it something else. - What are the rules then? I just think we gotta say, Spiked Mountain Dew, bring
it back, but change the name. - Quick reminder, check out
the Mythical Kitchen channel. Click that bell. They're always doing fun, new
culinary stuff over there. In fact, they got a new series
called, "So Far, So Good," where they recreate a dish that you would travel to
a foreign place to eat and then realize it's so good. Josh and Caitlin made
McDonald's Ebi Filet-O. - Oh, filet-o. - Yeah. I don't know exactly (laughs) I don't know exactly what that is, but we should all check it out together. - We should. - Also, Josh and Nicole's
podcast "Hot Dog is a Sandwich," they debate whether
tomatoes are really a fruit wherever podcasts are available. - Okay, are Skittles gum? Well, apparently they were for a limited time in 2007.
- No. - Yes, we got these. - Oh, really? - They're expired in 2007. Skittles gum. We paid $74.97. - What? - Round that up to 75. - $75 for this? - When you put that in the
ledger, round it up to 75. - Guys, we have to open it, because- - Do we have a ledger? - I've already opened it. And two, we have to taste whether this is worth bringing back. - There's a Change.org
petition to bring these back. It has 315 (chuckles) 315 signatures. (chuckling) You thought it was gonna be 315,000. - Yeah. - No, it's 315 signatures. - All right, so-- - I'll take a red. - No, what I'm saying
is, when you pay $75... I will take a green. - They look just like Skittles. Oh, they're so soft. Is that 2007, or is that the original? - I don't think they've changed at all. I don't think they expire. - They taste just like Skittles, except they don't go away. - Here's the problem, I've
already swallowed mine because that's what you do instinctively when you put a Skittle in
your mouth, you swallow it. I mean, were you fighting
that? It's so small. You'd have to eat at least- - A handful. - I don't want the yellow ones. - Well, get some more. - Why do you want a
brown gum? What is that? - That's now brown, that's purple. It's just faded over the decades. - Oh, yeah. Still tastes good. Grape tastes good. Orange tastes good. - It all tastes great,
but I think problem was- - Green tastes good. - Chew the rainbow doesn't
have quite the same ring to it. - Resist the urge to swallow the rainbow, I think is what should be written on here. - It reminds you how good
Skittles are, though. - It's better. - Lower calories. - It's chewier. - How much lower calories are they? (crew laughs) - I don't know how much
lower calories are they? - Why can't we speak? - I'm even gonna eat a yellow one now. - I'll throw a yellow in. Oh, the yellow's a little harder. - I'm gonna level with
you. Here's the problem. It's easier to chew than a Skittle, and you really think that it's
gonna dissolve into nothing. - But it keeps coming, man. - It stays, but by that point, I think you've already swallowed it and you swallowed a bunch of it. You've got an entire lower GI
tract full of these things. This is a health hazard. - The kids were swallowing it, and they stayed in there for seven years. Tastes great though. So Skittles bubble gum... - [Both] Nah, that's whack. - Look, it's Kellogg's
Spider-Man Toasted Oats cereal from 2003. - Whoa. - So this is nearly 18 years old and we paid $18 for this. Let's take a look here. Kellogg's, they don't play around. - It's gonna have that smell. It's gonna have that old
smell that things get. We are very familiar with it. - Ho, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. - Whoa, whoa. Hey, hey.
- Hey, hey, hey. What's happening here? This is freaking honey-- - It's got the smell. - This is honeycombs. - It's got the smell. - Is this a honeycomb or a spider web? - It's honeycombs with..
oh, you know what? A honeycomb is kinda like
a spider web. Nature. - Oh, gah. Yup. - It's got that... oh, it's got that, I call it the Wade Boggs
smell because... (laughing) 'cause of the time, it was strong, it's 'cause when we opened
up something from Wade Boggs- - Yup. - It was a protein bar from the '70s. - [Stevie] I thought you
said the way that bogs smell, which also works. - Well, very very similar. - Yeah. If you wade in a bog, you gonna come out smelling like this. It's kinda my thing. - So I have to assume that... You're missing my bowl quite a bit. Is that user error or is that equipment? - It's the equipment because
this is kinda my thing and I'm usually good at it. - That was a malfunction. Look at that. Listen, I know that this
is blown glass (chuckles) and that's why it's not precise and you can't quite get the thing on top. And I know that I requested it, but I'm going back on it. We gotta get... - Mass manufactured glass? - We gotta get mass
manufactured glass in here! No more handmade stuff! I overshot! - Shoot for the moon, aim for the stars. - What makes the red and
the green and the blue? I wanna know what that is before I eat it. - What is it? It's a bloody
spider web and then a... I don't know. - Spider-Man doesn't make webs
the same color as his suit. - Spider-berry fruit flavored. - That's why they got rid of this. I'm gonna get one of each one. ♪ 18 years ♪ Boy. - I'm in the bog. - Yeah, I shouldn't swallow Wade Boggs. It's not that bad. - No, it's just some of it got way back, and I had to get it out. - Wade back? (laughing) - We're losing it. We're losing it, y'all. Now this was to promote Spider-Man 2, the Tobey Maguire one. And Tobey Maguire is still, I would call him the second
best Spider-Man ever. - Hold on. Behind who? - The new kid. - You like the Tom Holland? - Yeah, I like Tom Holland. He embodies the childhood
wonder that Spider-Man, with a hyphen, needed. Again, let's ignore the bog.
Does this need to come back? - No, it doesn't need to come back. - No. Who cares? - Yeah, I mean give me- (crew laughing) Give me a break. And we don't need another
freaking Spider-Man either. - Well, we still have Tom Holland. - Right, I don't mind if
he comes back in a movie, but he doesn't need
another movie of his own. - They were fun. - Yeah, but how much fun can one man have? - That won't stop him from trying. Spider-Man Toasted Oats cereal, - [Both] Nah, that's whack. - Okay, finally we have the
Muhammad Ali Popcorn from 1992. - Good gosh. - I'm told it's the same
age as Kyrie Irving. - Yeah, when this came out, Kyrie Irving- - Was just a wittle baby. - He just came out onto the flat earth. He just landed on it. The snack of champions- - Woo-hoo-hoo! This has
got Wade Boggs squared. - It says 25 cents, we paid $25 for this. They also came in chili cheese flavor. - That's inflation, kids. - But we got the white
cheddar cheese right here. Oh my gosh. - It smells awful. It's very difficult to
get down to the root of what this would have been at one point, but I'm pretty sure it just
would have been popcorn with a slight cheddar cheese flavor to it. - I breathed too deeply. - This is the thing you
gotta understand about this, at the time that Muhammad Ali
was inventing this popcorn, 'cause I'm sure that's
exactly how it went, George Foreman was inventing a grill. Think about which one do you
still think about all the time. - Talk about coming to a crossroads. - They got to the end of their careers and they didn't really cross over. I know George was a
little after Muhammad Ali. And Muhammad Ali had been
the best boxer of all time and George was good, but he wasn't great. But his last punch was the grill punch. The last punch for
Muhammad Ali was popcorn and we didn't even know about it? - Muhammad Ali, "Say no to
drugs and knock it out." Oh, there's a note on here. "Thank you from Muhammad
Ali for serving our product. We take great pride in making our products and we hope that you enjoy them. We unconditionally guarantee
all Muhammad Ali products." - They also have a phone number. - 215-224-7800. My gosh. I'm getting a headache
just by smelling this stuff. (phone ringing) - You think they're still there? - Yeah. I think they're still there. It's only been 28 years
since they've expired. Someone's still there. - They're not there anymore. - We've gone this deep, we need
to come out the other side. Okay, we just waited 15
minutes for someone to answer. No one ever did. - And that makes me mad
because I had a lot, (chuckles) I had a lot to say about this. But I refuse to try it. - Ugh. Ugh. - I'll lick it a little bit. - It's horrible. - I'll lick that a little bit. - Horrible. Ugh. - I mean, listen. I can imagine that it
was great at one point 'cause I love white
cheddar cheese popcorn, but I can also get that in
so many different places. No reason to bring this
back is where I'm going, so. - But if you put your name on a grill, then I'm buying, Muhammad Ali. - All right. Muhammad Ali Popcorn, - [Both] Nah, that's whack. - Oh my gosh. And I got
the headache to prove it. Ooh, it just feels a little weird, but thank you for subscribing
and clicking that bell. - You know what time it is. - Hi, I'm Rachel, and
I've been binge-watching "Good Mythical Morning"
while I'm recovering from a double transplant. And now, it's time to spin
the Wheel of Mythicality. Wee! - All right, Rachel. Glad we could be there
with you in some form. - Keep on keeping on, girl. - Get better soon. Click the top link to watch
us try to find weird ways to unwrap Starburst in
"Good Mythical More." - And to find out where
the Wheel of Mythicality is gonna land. - So we actually have
Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise. It typically has more egg yolk and a little bit of MSG in it, so it gives you that
little (tongue clicking). You gotta do it. (both
clicking their tongues)
This is one of the best episodes in a long time as far as the chemistry between the two. They genuinely look like they're having a great time. Really this is one of my favorite episodes in awhile.
Their goofiness was contagious in this episode :)
As many things as Rhett and Link eat on GMM, they always find a way to switch it up and keep it interesting. Well done, I loved seeing the variety of obscure food items!
Man, seeing that Skittles gum just unlocked some deeply buried memories. That shit was the BOMB.
10/10 would try that skittles gum
