- When life hands you extremely old canned foods, it's rude not to eat 'em. - Let's talk about that. (upbeat theme music) Good mythical summer! - We've been reading the comments, and while the overwhelming majority cannot stomach seeing what comes outta these decades-old cans we found online, you're sticking with us. - Mm-hmm. - And for that, we thank you. - And as a thank you, we got a whole new batch of very old foods. And I gotta say it, many of these foods should perhaps never have been put in a can to sit on the shelves to begin with. Hashtag not all foods belong in cans. - Ahf. - Man, it feels good to get that off my chest. I've been thinking about that for quite some time. - Hashtag you're a braver man than I am, Rhett. It's time for (upbeat music) "Show Us Your Cans! (chuckles) Vintage Canned Foods Taste Test". We're gonna try these strange vintage and unopened canned foods and determine if they've held up enough to still be enjoyable by declaring can or can not. - Yes, and this round is dedicated to you, Link. You're gonna be very excited because we got- - Am I? - Peanut butter from the Vietnam War era! (chuckles) - You went with nam? - I say nuhm in my personal life. - I know. - [Rhett] Here on the show, I say nam. - Yeah. - Vietnam War era. Now, the exact year is still unknown. The seller gave us a timeline of '61 to '75. Hmm. - The seller also listed every Vietnam War movie in his description, which has nothing to do with the peanut butter. - Well, the seller also apparently said this would be a funny Christmas stocking stuffer. (chuckles) (crew laughs) Well, that'd be funny, wouldn't it? Let's find out exactly how funny it would be. So we're talking peanut butter older than us. - We paid $17 for this. - [Rhett] Okay, I got liquid. - [Link] Oh, oh, oh, oh. - You wanna, oh, I got liquid. Mmm, you gotta put in paper now. - [Link] Are you sniffing? What does it say on top besides- - PX. - Peanut butter, Kern Foods Incorporated. - [Rhett] P90X. - [Link] Fortified. - Okay, here we go. - Can we- - Now, I'm gonna, I got a little spoon here. I'm gonna just- - [Link] Oh. - [Rhett] Pop back this top for you. Okay. - That looks dees-ent. (crew laughs) - I'm going in for a smell. - Total dees. Dees nuts. - Hey, this is- - Dees peanuts. - This is un, completely unaltered. - Unaltered from what you would expect from normal peanut butter. So I think we gotta give it a little scoopy scoop. - Hold on. When is this gonna catch up with us? - I know. - You ever think about that? You ever think about that? - Well, when I put all of the, what was that stuff I put in my mouth? I don't even know what it was. - It was like a hundred-year-old coconut. - It's hard. It's hard in there. It's, it's, it's- (crew laughs) - I'm not gonna eat all this. - It's creamy. - Somebody said, "It's too much. It's too much." I'm just gonna do a little licky lick. - You did it. You just got the grease though. I'm gonna dab mine. - It stings a little bit. - It stings? (crew laughs) - I think it does. I think it stings. (crew laughs) - This is why we pay 'em. Let's see if it stings me. It tastes good. - I know, but like- - It doesn't sting, or stink. There's no sting, sting or stink. - I think it's fine. I mean, can botulism get through metal? - I don't wanna swallow it but- - [Rhett] I'm not gonna swallow it. - I wanna taste it. - I think it stung in my mind. I think the sting- (crew laughs) - You stung your brain. - The sting was in my mind. You know that sometimes, you go and you get peanut butter that's, for the fancy peanut butter, and it's just peanuts and nothing else, and all the health people think it's better, but it really doesn't taste as good as the stuff with the oil in it? - Right. - This tastes better than that. - [Link] Peanut butter. - [Rhett and Link] Can. (bell dings) - This portion of today's episode is brought to you by Clover Leaf grated white tuna from the 1960s. - Is it grated? - It's really not a sponsor. And I don't know how great it is until we open it, but this tuna is twice the age of the lifespan of the average tuna. - Wow. - Which is 26 years. - Man! Tuna's- - Who'd have guessed it - Be 26! - If kuna, kunas aren't caught- - If kunas. - If kunas aren't caught, they'll live 26 years. - Uh, I like my tunas young, and that's it. - Cat food smell coming from my little- - Oh, oh! - My little, my little crevice. - Would you like me? - I'm, I do like you. (crew laughs) I would like you. - Would you like me to do that? Keep it, make the connection to the- - [Link] I think that a lot. - Keep it- - With a lot of people. - Keep it on there. - Would you like me? - [Rhett] Keep it on there. (crew laughs) - Please, would you like me? Well, I don't wanna... - [Rhett] Yeah, there you go. Oh, that's pretty. - [Link] There we go. - I wouldn't make skin to tuna contact. Look at that. - Would you like me? - It could be worse. Oh, but look at the lid. The lids got (Link grunts) black stuff on it. - It just smells like tuna though. It doesn't smell like tuna twice the age of the average living tuna fish. - What is the oldest that this tuna could be? So if that tuna is from let's say 1960, let's go all the way back to 1960, right? - [Link] It looks good. - So that's 73 years ago. And if that tuna was as old as a tuna can be, which is 26- - No, that's the average. The oldest- - Oh, maybe it might be a 40-year-old tuna. - The oldest living tuna is 43 years old. - What did I say, '76, '72? What did I say, '73? 73 plus 40. This tuna, this could be over a hundred years old if this was a really old tuna before it got canned. - Yeah, but for thumbnail purposes, I would say so. - Yeah. (crew laughs) There you go, hundred-year-old tuna. - It just, it smells like tuna. I've certified the smell. You certify the taste. - Let me see if it stings. - See if it stings. (crew member laughs) - Let me take control of this. (crew laughs) I'm just gonna see if it stings. I'm not gonna taste it. - Stings. - I can't taste with the tip of my tongue. (crew laughs) It tastes like metal. You get it. It doesn't sting. It's actually quite pleasant. Mm-mm! (crew laughs) - Ooh, it tastes like metal. - Yeah. Me hitting you on the back of the head caused your hair to go down. That was kinda cool. - It kinda flattened. - How'd you get it back up? - Boop. - Oh, look at that. - Hey, is that- - And then, hold on, I'm gonna do it lightly. I don't wanna give you a headache. - I don't wanna say tuna can't can. (crew laughs) - Oh, it's really sticking up this time. What happened? Maybe you gotta have tuna on your tongue. Put some tuna on your tongue and see if it- - I can't do it again, man. - Oh, okay, that's all right. - I can't do it again. So we reserve the right to have fresh tuna in a can even though we're saying tuna- - [Rhett and Link] Can not. (buzzer blares) - Okay, so the crew had a big vintage milk and vintage cereal round planned for this episode. - Great. - So first, they ordered this canned powdered milk from the 1930s. - Nice. - Then they found and bought canned cereal from the 1920s. - Shh-coo. - But it never arrived. - Huh? - (sniffs) I smell (sniffs) a scam! (chuckles) But we're gonna settle for this with just regular old cereal, modern day Cinnamon Toast Crunch. But I will say- - Okay. - Nicole said, quote, about the scam, "Yeah, so pretty much when I ordered it, everything was fine. And then whenever I tried to go through the email and check on the order confirmation, the screen would just be completely blank. Also, the seller had no past reviews and was unverified." - Sounds like a we- - [Rhett] Scam! - We did a little undue diligence. You know what I'm saying? (crew laughs) (Link chuckles) - Okay, it's got this old school thing where you pull this out. Gotta pull it out first. - [Link] This is a fun way to do it. - [Rhett] Oh, look at this. - All right, so we paid $50 for this milk. I'm still tasting that tuna can from the last round. - Yeah, and it's just metal. It's just a metal smell, taste. - Yeah, I mean, is it mercury? I mean, what's happening? - I doubt it. Oh. - [Link] So this is just gonna be powder. Yeah, yeah, don't panic. (crew laughs) And then- - Okay, let me read the directions. Pour the required number of ounces of warm previously boiled water. - Oh, look, they've given us this stuff here. So this is warm, so it goes, go in here. - I think you just take a couple of pops of it and add some water and see when you got the right consistency. - Yeah. I bless it. - Okay. (crew laughs) Now whisk it. Whisk it good. Oh, gosh, it smells. - Keep pouring that. - You need more water, man. - Smell it. - It smells like Boggs. This is like powdered Boggs. This is like if- - [Link] It smells like mayonnaise. - If all these years, Wade Boggs had been collecting his dandruff in a can. (crew groans) - Put some more, put some more, well- - I'm just trying to think of some way to make it Boggs. - This is, hold on, don't, actually, yeah, yeah, put some more. - I love when I get a groan from the crew. - Boggs is popping up in a lot of places. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Boggs is everywhere. - I really think we've contributed to the re-Boggsing of society. - I'd like to take credit for it. - I don't know if we want credit. - I think Boggs did all right. I think Boggs had built quite a reputation from many years of playing baseball really, really good. - Right. (laughs) - I don't necessarily think he needed us. Give it a little shake. - What do you mean? - Okay. I think it could be a little bit thinner 'cause you gotta split it between these two bowls. (crew laughs) All right, whatever. - [Link] Isn't that an easier way to do it? - Yeah, that's how I'd do it. I can tell you right now, I'm not eating this. - It's gonna taste good. Oh, shoot, I got it on my knee. (crew laughs) - Well, of course you did 'cause you just put it right over your knee as it dripped. - Here, tongue it. - No, no, no, I'll stick my tongue into it. - Yeah. - Golly, it smells bad! (crew laughs) Why do I have to do this? - Just put your tongue out and I'll go like that. - I feel like I need to control it. - [Link] My shoulder's getting- - Yeah, I'll take over. I don't want you to, you might take out a tooth. (crew groans) (Rhett coughs) (crew laughs) Oh, god! - Don't swallow it, man. Spit that out. Spit that out. We don't wanna lose you! - You should try it. - Even after making it cinnamon milk? I should definitely try it. - Why did it get so hot? - Oh, because the water's real hot. - Oh. I thought maybe it was a chemical reaction. I thought there was a chemical reaction happening. It's interesting though. Tongue it. (Rhett chuckles) Oh, god. (laughs) (crew groans) - Ah, ah! - Oh, god, this is horrible. Why are we doing this? - I know that you weren't scamming me. - (laughs) Yeah. - And we would never scam you. Milk. - [Rhett and Link] Can not. (buzzer blares) - Hey, reminder, Good Mythical Evening is less than two weeks away, coming up fast! We're gonna be live on August 24th at 10 p.m. Eastern, seven p.m. Pacific. Tickets are available right now at goodmythicalevening.com. It's gonna be wild, unhinged. Anything can go. Anything can happen. - Party with me. Party with him. - It's gonna be, it's gonna be like we ate- - Party with us. - Really old tuna, but it's just gonna alcohol. - Uncensored, unhinged, unapologetic, sexy, pleasure, unmitigated pain, sometimes both at the same time. You decide, you control the action. - You're scaring me a little bit. Be there! - All right. This next canned item is actually a bottle, which is the cousin of the can. - Yeah, yeah, I've always thought that. - [Link] So this is Kraft French dressing from 1975. - [Rhett] Ooh. - Why would someone sell this for $50? Well, so that we would buy it, but I think other people would buy it. I like the way it looks. - I like the slogan. Creamy, thick, and mild. - Mm-hmm. - Those were three of my nicknames in high school, (crew chuckles) just depending on what day I was. Hey, it's still, oh, please, please, please, please. - Shake well, it says. You think it'll burst? Ooh, it's changing color. - Well, what if it did right onto Morgan? (crew laughs) - It's still liquid. That's been confirmed. It hasn't turned to powder. - It's getting thicker though. I can feel it thickening. - You're shaking it like paint, like old paint. - All right, so I'ma open this thing. And yeah, the way I picture it is your tongue comes out (clicks). (crew laughs) - Okay, all right, take the top off. - Oh, it was very easy to take the top off. - That's encouraging. - It was not hard at all. As a matter of fact, I think I shook it halfway off. And then what is this? - [Rhett] That's just a little seal. - Okay. - I mean, I will say a nugget could go right in there without even touching it. - Not yet. - I mean, I could drop it and the nugget will go away. - I'm gonna do the smell test. You're gonna do the tongue sting. - [Rhett] It smells like French dressing. I can smell it from here. - If mixed with some sort of like rubber cement, I think you've nailed it, so... - It doesn't really smell like French dressing. It smells like something that, the liquid you would find in the catacombs beneath Paris. - Mm-hmm. And you know what you would do when you found it. - I know I started the tongue stinging thing, but now, I regret it. - I know, but for consistency and science, you gotta go for it. - What if I had to put a nug in and then I touch the tongue with- - Just put your tongue down in there. - Touch the nug with my tongue. - Just shut up and be smart. - [Rhett] I don't want the side of my tongue to hit it. - Just lick the front of the, yeah. - Because if I go all the way to the surface, I'm gonna get side tongue action, and then it gets really tough to- - Well, here, let me do this. I could create some sort of a- - You're gonna create a barrier? Oh, a little skirt. Oh, I'm safe now. (chuckles) (crew laughs) Hold on, hold on. - [Link] So now- - [Rhett] Where does my tongue go? - Your tongue goes on the front. (Rhett grunts) (crew laughs) I'ma let go. Go. - [Crew Member ] Ugh. - Don't make any noise. (crew laughs) - There you go, good boy. Good boy. (Rhett grunts) Good boy. Does he sting? - Uh-huh, it does sting. - And then now- - Why don't you tongue it? - I'm not gonna tongue it. I'm gonna nug it. - You gotta tongue that nug though. Oh, god. - See the thing, ah ah ah ah ah. I gave him my last hanky! Oh, yeah, yeah. - [Rhett] Yeah, that's not good. - See, the thing about the tongue, the tongue is just another organ. - Yeah, but the tongue is like connected to the inside of your body. - Right. - It's like letting things in. But it doesn't smell that bad. - I'm gonna lip it. - Oh, you're, why are you getting so aggressive? I'm worried about you. - 'Cause KG whispered for me to do it. (Rhett laughs) I want her to like me so much. (Rhett laughs) - But listen, I mean, it's- - [Link] It tastes good, dude. - How many years old is it? - It tastes good. - It's actually held up remarkably well. - Yeah, I think this could do it. - [Rhett] Okay, French dressing. - [Rhett and Link] Can. (bell dings) - All right, buckle up. It's time for one of Oprah's favorite foods, bread! - Yes, it is. We paid $90 for this. It's from the 1920s. I mean, bread doesn't last for like a week, and this is a hundred years old? - Well, maybe, I mean, you don't know. - Over a hundred-year-old bread. Open that stuff, man. Wow, look at this knife. This thing is crazy. - [Rhett] Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, it was gas. - It's seeping. - Oh, gosh. It's raisin bread and I can certainly smell the raisins. - Are you raisin for it? That little- - Oh, gosh. - It missed that spot. I like these two women on the front talking about it. It's bread. It's in a can. It's brown. - Oh, really? - This is where Cheesecake Factory gets their bread. Oh, my goodness, y'all. (can thumps) - The bell tolls three times. I mean, if I... - [Link] Massage it. Oh, yes, yes. Oh! - [Rhett and Link] Bread! (Link laughs) Look at that! Dang! - [Rhett] Whoa! (laughs) - That is some dark bread! I mean, it is brown. - You get bread! And you get some bread! And you get some bread! Well, it's really good. Look at that. - Oh! (coughs) (crew laughs) Oh, oh! Don't go in hard 'cause you can, woo woo woo, sound the alarm! - (coughs) Gosh! Oh! Whoa, it's crazy! - It made my- - I've never smelled anything like that in my life! - It made my eyes water. - It's the raisins. Something happened to the raisins. Can somebody, you got that peanut butter? Could you get me that peanut butter? - Are you thinking what you're thinking? - [Rhett] Oh, yeah. - Here you go. What you wanna do? You wanna make a little- - Spread it. - A little peanut butter and tuna sandwich? - Spread it. Spread it. - Oh, that tuna is stinky. - [Rhett] Hold on, let me, hold on, wait, wait, wait. Let me spread the peanut butter. I wanna get it really pretty. - [Link] Okay. - Oh, yeah. - And then you wanna- - Somebody's gonna be real happy. - I think it's Stevie. (group laughs) Um, hmm. - Tuna? - Yeah, this is, okay, really? Here you go. Bread in a can. How long does it say that it's supposed to last? - They didn't tell you that back then. Expiration dates were invented for modern people to feel better about themselves. - Heat thoroughly in steamer whole or sliced. Butter and serve. - While you're at it, let's do the French dressing. I mean- - Who are these parasol-carrying women? I mean, can somebody make an introduction? Look at those dresses. I like just how, that is, that's satisfying right there. - Do you realize- - That's satisfying - What we've done here? We're the only people today on the internet that have made a sandwich quite like, oh, gosh, quite like this. - Yeah, and I don't think- - Boy, you show up at some- - Anyone's following in our footsteps. - You show up at some party like this and you talk about how much of a delicacy this is. Let me get a nice cross section on that. - Half for you, half for you. - [Rhett] Look at that. - [Link] That is pretty- - [Rhett] Look at that. - Nasty. The fact that this still feels like bread, and if it wasn't for the raisins, I think I might be tongue- - I'll tongue it. (grunts) - Really? I'm not gonna do that. I'm too smart for that. My stomach is actually hurting, so I think I am legit out on this one. But I wanna vote for bread in a can. - Here, put the sandwich back in there and maybe- - Yeah, yeah. - We'll sell it to the next person on eBay. - Yeah, sell it to the next sucka! Cereal. I mean, bread. I mean, both. It doesn't matter. - [Rhett and Link] Can not! (buzzer blares) Well- - You know, some stuff worked today. - You watched this. - How do you feel about yourself? - Mm-hmm. I feel good about peanut butter. I feel decent about French dressing. I feel great about liking you. - Oh, I like you too. (Link laughs) - Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. - And listen, don't forget to come back for a new episode of Good Mythical Weekend tomorrow. You know what time it is. - I'm JJ. It's my 20th birthday, and we're having a clown picnic. And it's- - [Group] Time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality! Whoo! (horn honks) - You coming to my birthday party? Are there gonna be any clowns there? (chuckles) Uh, maybe. Click the top link to see us play the canned cup game in Good Mythical More. - And to find out where the Wheel of Mythicality's gonna land. - [Rhett] Good Mythical Evening is coming up fast! We're gonna be live on August 24th at 10 p.m. Eastern, seven p.m. Pacific. Tickets available now at goodmythicalevening.com.
