- Do these new foods
deserve their nasty reviews? - Let's talk about that. (bright music) - Good Mythical Morning. - Hey, we're about to
taste some of the newest, most intriguing fast
food items on the market, and determine who is really
telling the truth about 'em, the advertisements, or
the angry customers. But first, I wanna celebrate
my buddy's big day. Today's a big day, man! - Is it my birthday? - No, it's not your
birthday, it's your album. - Oh, yes! - There we go.
(crew applauds) - My full length album, the artist name's James and the Shame, that's what I'm calling
myself, that's my middle name. The album is Human Overboard. If the idea of a country album that explores spiritual deconstruction sounds a little bit weird to you, well it probably is. But maybe it's interesting, as well. Check it out wherever
you stream your music, it launched today. - Yeah, I mean the concept sounds weird, but I will say, the album sounds great. I've heard the whole
thing, multiple times. - Are you saying that
because you're my friend? - Yes, but also because I've heard it. - Okay, I believe you're
being honest, thanks for that. Okay, but, I do have a question for you. Do you ever see an
advertisement for a new food, and you're like "Oh, I
think I'd like to try that." But then you see a review
that somebody has left on the internet that's negative, and you think "Oh, okay,
I'm not gonna try that." - Yes, I do see those,
and yes I do decide, just like with movies
that have bad reviews, I don't consume them. - Well I understand it with movies, but if it's a food, I wanna see myself, I wanna try it for myself. - Well, you should be happy because you are gonna taste everything today, regardless of how
negative the reviews are. - And you should be happy,
especially if you're like Link, because we're gonna tell you what's not worth actually trying. It's time for "Customer Gripe
vs Restaurant Hype, part two." We're gonna be trying recent
new menu items from McDonald's, Shake Shack, and Taco Bell, to see just how they stack up against the hype from the ad campaigns. - We're also gonna be
reading some negative reviews from people who've tasted the item, and, well, reviewed it. - Yeah. - To decide which is more accurate, the marketing or the user review. (cheerful music) - All right, first up we
got the Land, Air & Sea menu hack from McDonald's. So back in February,
McDonald's launched a campaign using customer-submitted menu hacks that you could order by name, but here's the thing. They weren't gonna make 'em for you, this was basically they
were making you buy all these individual ingredients, and then disassemble other sandwiches
to put things together. - It's making you buy more stuff. - So it's not really a secret menu, and people could kind
of do this on their own, but now, if you said these things, they knew what to get you. You know what? Let's just
watch the commercial. - [Narrator 1] The mouth-watering Big Mac, with a savory Filet-O-Fish, and a tasty McChicken. My goodness, that looks good. Oh? Oh! You're making a McDonald's menu hack! Yes! A Land, Air & Sea! Oh, it's gonna tip over. No, it's good, it's good, very stable. Order the Land, Air & Sea by name, build it by hand, and
hack the McDonald's menu. I'm surprised at how attracted I am to it. Ba da ba ba ba. - That made me uncomfortable. - Well, first of all, they
got the dude from Succession. Like, the... - Oh, gosh, that was him! - He's like the most buttoned
up dude in the world, he's talking about menu hacks? - Why is he happy? - It's not fitting, man. - Yeah, why was he...? That guy's not happy. Like the only time he was happy was when he was just
acting like he was happy to manipulate people. - Oh, is that what's happening right here? - I think that's what was happening! That's why I felt so uncomfortable. - I'm ready to be manipulated, sign me up, 'cause I like the idea of this thing. - All right, so we got a
review here from MassLive.com. - Oh, that's my favorite Live.com website. - I think it's Massachusetts, I don't, based media site. Writer Nick O'Malley gave
the building instructions, so you can put this thing together. I gotta say, I was excited
about this episode, I'm really hungry, and now
this is what we're doing. - Okay, so-
- like, I'm not excited about this. - Well, just tell me what I do. I'm gonna make you happy. - Make me happy. Remove both buns from the Filet-O-Fish and McChicken, leaving just the patty and sauce. - [Rhett] Oh, gosh. - [Link] Open up the Big
Mac above the bottom patty. - Above the bottom patty? - Above the bottom patty. - Okay. - Insert Filet-O-Fish patty. Open up Big Mac again. - Oh, hold on, I gotta put
the Big Mac back together. - Above the top patty. - Done. - Insert McChicken patty. - Okay. But I got like, there's some tartar sauce. Well. - Let's go with the tartar sauce one. Or, you wanna go with the- - No, I have to have sesame seed bun, you have to have sesame seed bun. - But this one has cheese on it. There's a bunch of extra buns here, that I'm not feeling great about. - You can have all these buns. - Just a bun sandwich? - Look at that. - This is another menu hack, the Quad Bun! - And I'm gonna just, just so we can enjoy this like buddies. - "You don't eat this
as much as you attempt to perform a controlled
demolition of it with your mouth." (chuckles) "Biting into this sandwich
is like putting your face five inches in front of
a TV and turning it on. It's chaotic overload. But the sauces play well together." - There's a nice cross section, Link. So the things that
McDonald's said about this, the Big Mac would be mouth-watering, the Filet-O-Fish would be savory, McChicken would be tasty. - I mean...
(crew laughs) Dink it. - Does that make you wanna eat it? And sink it. - It's still very Big Macky. - It's also very Filet-O-Fishy. - Chicken is totally lost. - Chicken gone. - And I don't like the fish in a Big Mac. Like, how could this be a good idea? I love a Big Mac so much,
adding chicken is totally fine. Like, replacing the middle
bun with the chicken patty? - Lemme try the buns.
- That's a good idea. - Lemme try the Quad Buns, because I think this
might have a better chance at being enjoyed, because it's got a little
extra cheese in there, look at that, that's so uniform. - There you go, Rhett, don't hold back. You getting that tartar sauce? - Oh, have a bite of that. - Oh yeah, is it great? - Honestly, it's pretty good. New from McDonald's, Quad Bun. - I mean, that's unswallowable. - The bun? - Yeah. - I swallowed it just fine. - I don't mean to be a
Debbie Downer here, but... - Well, you can't help yourself. - [Link] I freaking... - I gotta say that, there's a lot of competing
flavors happening here, but I kinda like it a little bit. Just a little bit. I like it more than I hate it. - You like the fish in a Big Mac. - I mean, I just, it's
hard for me to not like any of these things individually, and so putting them together, I'm just kinda like, "Yeah, that's what's gonna
happen in my stomach later on when I order these three things." I'm not really excited about it, I'm just a little bit excited about it. Don't get the wrong idea. - This is Rhett saying
that something sucks, so, just take that into account. - Yeah. (cheerful music) - All right, next we got Taco Bell's Cantina Crispy Chicken Taco, which is a mouthful, at least to say. It was introduced back in February, then it left the menu, but
then it came back in June for another limited time run. So, was it warranted to
bring it back a second time? - We're gonna find out. - Let's check out the commercials. - Crispy chicken tacos for Anna, and I've got my usual. - [Anna] I can't believe
you don't wanna try these. - You think I could try
a bit of that sauce? - Sorry, all out of sauce. - [Narrator 2] Try the
Cantina Crispy Chicken Tacos for two dollars each with
special pricing on the app. (Taco Bell bong) - The way the people interact
makes me uncomfortable. There's something unsettling
about that friend group. - "Can I try some of your sauce?" - "Sauce is gone now. I
just had it with my thing." - "Gotcha."
- "I got my usual, it's in my bag." - Nah, I do like to try other
people's sauce, you know? It's like, "What is that?" - "Oh yeah, do you have
a little extra sauce for me?"
- "I didn't have the guts to actually buy this,
but I do wanna try it." - There's another commercial that has a slightly different angle in trying to entice you to eat the taco, let's see that. - You look really nice. - [Photographer] You look so cute! (Taco Bell bong) - [Narrator 3] New Cantina
Crispy Chicken Tacos. Try them with creamy chipotle
or avocado ranch sauce. (Taco Bell bong) - Okay, so you're
supervising your children's prom photo shoot, but the bell rings. - The younger brother
bricks, and it sounds like the Taco Bell?
- That was one of the best things I've ever seen in an ad, is the timing of the brick and the bell. I love that. - That was on purpose. - Yes. - Is that...? - Is this worth leaving your
children's prom shoot for? You don't even need to be at
your children's prom shoot to begin with, they're like 18, let them do it. - Come on, Rhett. That's like the thing I
was looking forward to. - Let 'em live their life! I hate to be that hovering
parent that's like "This is how," don't be
that parent, go inside! Go to Taco Bell. - "I hate to be that loving parent." Is that what you just said? - Hovering parent. - Well, it's not what it sounded like. - Hovering. Are you one of those parents that misinterprets love for hover? Oh, yeah, okay, all right, well let's talk later.
- Taking the prom photo is kind of a thing to- - Let 'em do it! Hire a professional! - Prom photo, Taco Bell. - Okay, now, the customer review that we're going to be taking into account is from longtime YouTuber,
been playing this YouTube game almost as long as us, we got ReportOfTheWeek. - ReportOfTheWeek. - And he reviewed this back in July. He called it "The worst Taco
Bell item I've ever had." Tell us how you really feel, let's watch. - You know, I try to give items a chance. I really try. I'm just gonna say this outright, with this item that I got today, this is disgusting. This really is, it is... This is completely disgusting. I mean, I'm not usually... I try not to be this
direct with these reviews, but there is not a single redeeming, I mean the tortilla, I guess. That's it.
(Rhett laughs) I don't think there's, aside from that, and, maybe a little bit of the lettuce, I can't think of a single
good thing to say about this. - He's very upset. - Oh, come on, ReportOfTheWeek. - I mean... - I thought I was being the downer. - I feel like I can't, you know what? But he can get away with it
wearing a suit like that. - Yeah. - You know? - I... I mean, he said, the only positive thing,
it's a fried chicken strip. - Why's it so light? Let's find out. - Why's it so light? - The consistency of putting a fried chicken tender inside of a taco, so dry. - It's really salty. - Mm-hm.
- That's the only positive thing I can say about it. And a little bit of lettuce, as he said. I'ma take another bite. Can you keep talking? 'Cause it takes a while to chew this thing.
- I'm gonna try to pretend that this was just a
tender with sauce on it, when I think about it. Something's wrong with just
the fried chicken part. I mean, I've almost finished it. - This is a somber occasion.
- And I would. (crew laughs) - Like, do you really wanna
feel like this at Taco Bell? I mean... - I don't know if I agree
with ReportOfTheWeek. You can't, I mean... I feel like you're going all the way to ReportOfTheWeek status, I'm gonna leave a little daylight. - Oh my goodness! - Enough to get a finger in
there and have a little fun. - Look at that.
(crew laughs) - Somebody's gotta be having fun. - I know! I'm not. - Yeah, you're closing
out the finger hole, I've got a finger hole. Look, I can do it this way, too. - Oh yeah. Here. Have a little fun with my hole. - Look. I can have fun with both of
our holes at the same time. - All right. We've gone this far to
try to make this positive. This sucks. - Yeah, so we pretty much
agree with you, Reviewbrah. (cheerful music) - Quick reminder, it is the last day to get your tee, and enter the Golden Tee

Bourbon Bacon Cheddar Burger. - Yes.
- Okay? Say that five times fast. - Bourbon Bacon Cheeseburger,
Bourbon Bacon Cheeseburger, Bourbon Bacon Cheeseburger,
Bourbon Bacon Cheeseburger, Bourbon Bacon Cheeseburger,
Bourbon Bacon Cheeseburger. - Okay, this hit Shake Shack
menus in May of this year, has managed to stick around for a while, and in an official company tweet, they said "With every bite of our Bourbon Bacon Cheddar Burger and chicken comes a bit of
smooth Maker's Mark bourbon." - Now the tweet makes you think that there's chicken and
burger on the same thing, but maybe that's 'cause we just went to the McDonald's fiasco. - You can get chicken or burger. - Yeah. And we got the burger here. Diving into more of the details, "Our new Bourbon Bacon Cheddar menu features bourbon bacon jam made in-house." - Okay. - "Maker's Mark Kentucky Bourbon, which is aged for six years
and has notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak, with bacon that is smoked for six hours using real hardwood apple wood. The result is a sweet and savory sauce that we can't get enough of." - First of all, Shake Shack burgers are the best in the
business, as fast food, that's what I think. - I got one, too. - They're talking about it like this, my expectations are very very high. - Uh-huh. - But what are the people saying? - Well, you got... - Gene Testimony.
- Gene Testimony from Detroit, Michigan. Boy, he looks really formal. He gave it three out of five
stars, saying that he felt #BAMBOOZLED with the serving size. "I mean, really, does
this burger look anything like your advertisement
in size or presentation? I'M STILL HUNGRY! You guys have to do better! Gene Testimony Hall." - Oh, Gene Testimony Hall. - His middle name is Testimony. - I might change my
middle name to Testimony. Okay. - Okay, I, okay, first of
all, Gene Testimony Hall, this is the size that I would expect from Shake Shack.
- This is the size of a Shake Shack burger. You gotta get out of the testimony hall and come to the Shake Shack and
see how big the burgers are. - I have a confession to make. - You've had this. - I went to Shake Shack recently, just to treat myself to Shake Shack, and when I showed up I
was like "This exists?" And I pulled a Rhett and I got it. - Well this is a very Link burger. You like barbecue-type things, you like barbecue flavor on things, and onions and stuff. - It's got the fried onions. And I did have a
conclusion, having had it. Their burgers are so soft. Everything just kinda... It's like one clump of goodness. - I love the, what is
it, the Shake Shack one that's not the regular Shake Shack, that's got the peppers on it? - Smoke Shack. - That's the best burger
you can get in fast food. - I don't love that one. When I get a normal Shake Shack, I always have to remember to add onions. 'Cause I think it really needs 'em. This, you don't have to remember anything. - I think that what
they have at Shake Shack is already so good, both
the regular cheeseburger, and then the Smoke Stack, or Smoke Shack. - Mm-hm. - This is not as good as
either of those, in my mind. There's something too
overpowering about the sauce, that's taking away from
the beautiful thing that they're already doing. Do I like it? Yes. Will I finish it? Yes. So I'm gonna stay in the green, but I was thinking that
this is like this, up here, you're talking about Maker's Mark, you're talking about six years of aging, you're talking about six hours of smoking. - Yeah.
- Bacon. (crew chuckles) And so it just brings it down a little bit when I actually taste it, 'cause the expectations were so high, it's like when somebody
tells you about a movie and they're like "It's the best movie I've ever seen." And then you're like "I
wish I didn't know that, I wish I showed up with no expectations." So I'm safely in the hype, but not too hype. I can get a whole hand
in my hype slide part. - What about from the backside? - Yeah, well I gotta figure that out. I can get a whole hand in there. - From either side. He can do that. Now, my previous self, and my current self, agree with each other, which, at least I'm consistent. But the thing that's
really blowing my mind, is that my previous self and my current self both 100% agree with you. I don't like the Smoke Shack,
I don't like the Smoke Shack, but I found myself once I was getting to the end of this burger, after eating the whole thing, I'm like, "I miss that classic burg-" I only try to eat at Shake
Shack every couple of months, it's like a treat. I have to earn it. If you eat there every
week, or more often, you're gonna wanna mix
it up with this thing, but I can't say that it's
the only thing you can get if you're just trying to treat yourself. - How many fingers can you get in there? - I can get four fingers, and then I can put my
thumb in front of my mouth. - Okay, that's good enough for me. All right, so taking the
highest ranked position on our meal-o-meter is Shake Shack. So y'all are doing a good job. The lowest rank is Taco Bell, but we weren't truly
blown away, I mean like, we were fitting fingers
and hands up in here. - Right. - Who knows what's next? - But we still love you, Shake Shack. - [Both] Thanks for subscribing
