- What would you do ooh,
ooh, for 19 Klondike bars? - Let's talk about that. Good mythical morning. - Klondike bars, everybody's
favorite chocolate covered, then foil covered and polar
bear topped, ice cream squares. - You remember the first time you ever saw or had a Klondike bar? - I do, actually, my nanny had them in her
freezer when I was a kid and I ate one and I was like, "Wow, this is ice cream
that I can actually bite." - Oh really, you can bite this ice cream? Cause I've been worried
about today for you. - Yeah, cause of the covering. - Oh, the covering. - Yes. - Well, it makes sense that you remember these
from your childhood because they did gain
nationwide popularity in the late seventies, early eighties. But did you know, Klondike bars have been
around for almost a century? - I didn't know that. I also had no idea that they've since gone way beyond just the classic chocolate covered vanilla bar and they've expanded to
all kinds of new flavors and completely different
ice cream treats as well. - Well, I can only imagine a rapid-fire taste test
of every single one will show us definitively how they manage to stay in business for so long. It's time for Gut Check,
Klondike Bars edition. - All right, today we're
going to be tasting every single available
Klondike ice cream product, 19 of them in total, in total. We're going to rank each one
on a scale of one to 100, based on our initial gut reactions. - Then our scores will be added together to give us the final four
top rated Klondike products. And then we're going
to have those top four, we'll try them all once
more to officially declare which one is the chosen frozen. - And, since I am practically a pro at scoring consistently now, we gave away my third
grade level visual aid over on the mythical society. - Didn't need it. - But then members of the
crew came up to me and said, "You know what? Just to be safe," - Yeah, I agree with this. - "let's get you a new visual aid." I'm like, all right,
whatever you guys want. So this time I've got a new visual aid, but it is at the college level. - Well it's in specifically
sort of, advanced calculus. - I mean, it looks like an origami bird. - Is this gonna help you? - But this is freaking math. I mean, I don't know. Good, terrible, not good, okay. When Pierre de Fermat
invented subtraction, it was incredibly
important that he factored in the gravitational pull of Pluto. He didn't. That is why this line is pointing at the bottom of the graph. - This is all BS, man. - Link, if you're reading
this aloud, please stop. I don't know anything. My college didn't even have a math class. - Okay, good luck with that. - [Stevie] Okay Gentlemen, there will be a plethora
of ice cream and chocolate swimming down your gullets. So you can cleanse your pallets
today between each round with some hot water to help
get rid of the sweetness. - That's my favorite
beverage, how did you know. - I love hot water. - [Stevie] I actually
really do like hot water, little lemon. - Not just hot water with nothing. - There's no lemon. - [Stevie] That'll be fine
paired with today's treats. The first category is Bars, the classic shape that
you all know and love. And we'll begin with Original Vanilla Bar. - So cold. - That's what I remember. That's solid. It's solid, it's not the
best thing I've ever had. 76. That's not going to help you, man. Both good and not good are both blue. - There's numbers down here. I'ma give that an 84. - Okay, well he likes it - [Stevie] Double Chocolate Bar. - [Both] Double chocolate? - That's better cause
it's chocolate ice cream. - Oh, that's what it was. - I didn't even look
at it, but I tasted it. That's an 85. - I'ma give that an 84. - [Stevie] Dark Chocolate Bar. - Not double? It's vanilla, I looked. - It's vanilla but it's got
dark chocolate on the outside, which actually, I like dark
chocolate more in real life, but not in this situation. 62. - A 60. - Heath Bar. - Oh really? Was it supposed to be toffee? - There was a light toffeeness to it, which I don't think you're
going to like it at all. - Oh, there it is in the aftertaste. 43. - I like it, nothing to
get too excited about. 71. - [Stevie] Reese's Bar. - For real? - It's a peanut butter ice cream. - That's good, but it's not everything that
it promised to be my mind. - Yeah. - Why don't you score it first? - You know what? I agree. I'm going to give it a 50. It's artificial flavor. - Yeah, the peanut butter is not doing it. The peanut butter doesn't
always do it for us, guys. 57. - [Stevie] Wow. Krunch Bar. - Oh, okay. - How are your teeth holding up? - The shell is really helping. - Have I got stuff on my beard? Yeah? - Do you just need me look? There's a little something, right there. I'm not getting any Krunch from that. - That tastes like a regular one to me. - 30. (crew laughing) - I mean, it said Krunch,
I experienced zero Krunch. - I didn't not like it, so
I'm going to give it a 73. - Cookies and Creme Bar. - Yeah, here we go. Here we go. - It's fun to bite into a Klondike. - I like their slogan, what
would you do for a Klondike bar? - I'd probably break the law for one. - I forget what that was. - Cookies and Creme,
that's pretty heavenly. 79. - 68. - [Stevie] Mint Chocolate Chip. - Oh. - Alright. - Oh man. - That's refreshing. It almost tastes good for you. - I really like that. - Is that healthy? - That's an 86 for me,
I like mint chocolate. - Yeah, I mean, it does work. I'm going to go up here now. There's Theta. - There's letters, yeah. It's just not helpful. - I'ma give it a 61. - [Stevie] No Sugar Added Vanilla Bar. - This is going to be great. - Need sugar added. - It's not bad. - But it's not as bad as it could be. - It tastes like snow cream. - Snow cream? What's that? (crew laughing) Is this something you make? - Yeah, you take snow and then you just add
sugar and some cream, but you do add sugar. - I hadn't been to your house
when you made snow cream. - I'ma give it a 49. - It's not as good as I want it to be, 44. - [Stevie] No Sugar Added Crunch Bar. - Why are we in this? - No sugar added. - Now, this is a double
disappointment for you cause you hated Krunch bar cause it didn't give you a crunch. - Oh, I remember. I don't remember what I gave it. - You gave it a 30. - Oh, thank you. - But this has no sugar, so
it should be less than 30. Just, you don't need
that chart, you need me. - Don't tell me how to score. - Give it a 21. - 31. - 38. - The no sugars are not as bad as we're making them out to be. They really not. - They just can't compete
with actual sugar. - Yeah, but if you don't want added sugar, this ain't that bad. - [Stevie] That concludes
the Bar's category, you made take sips of
your delicious hot water. - The thing is, I took three
years of this in college. - You know, this is
Stevie's favorite drink. - And then a fourth year of another thing that was just as hard as
calculus, and I made all A's. - I was there with you, brother. - In one ear out the other though, man. - Don't remember a thing. - I'm glad that I'm
not devoting any energy to retaining this stuff. - [Stevie] And up next, we
have the sandwiches category beginning with Classic Vanilla Sandwich. - I like that ice cream sandwich. - Soft, comforting. - Oh, the cookie tastes
on the end of that! The aftertaste, whew! - It just keeps getting better. - 83! - 88, baby. - Whoa, now. - [Stevie] Cookies and Creme Sandwich. - Oh, my gracious. That one's a little dry. - It's like it's got
the cookies and creme, it's got the cookie inside the cream and the cookie on the outside. - I'm feeling that, but
it's not as good to me. 74. - I like it, 85. - [Stevie] Mrs. Fields,
Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwich. - Mrs. Fields got in on this? You gotta watch her. - Mrs. Fields up in the Klondike. - Something tastes fake about that. I think she's not getting enough oxygen up there in the Klondike. - Yeah, she was light-headed for sure when she goes making these. - Yeah, something's weird
about that cookie cookie, 55. - I went only to 49, I'm sorry Mrs. - Ooh, dang. - [Stevie] Choco Tacos. - I did not know this was
in the Klondike world. - Oh, man. - There's a lot to experience. - Many layers. - Complex. - And it's a taco. - 76. - I wanted to like this more, 74. - The peanuts. - [Stevie] And that
concludes that category. Now, we're onto the final
category, which is Cones. And first up we have Nuts For Vanilla. - Nuts for Vanilla, okay. You want us to bite some of the cone too? - Yeah. I might be grabbing your hand a lot. - You grabbing hands? - That's the only way I could
get pressure on the cone. - That's against the rules. This is gut check, you
gotta go hands free. - Alright. You're gonna have to
really push it in my face. - It tasted burnt to me. - It tasted way better
than the Choco taco. - Really? - Yes. - What was it again? - [Stevie] Nuts For Vanilla. - I give that 85. - I'm going to give that
69, but not in a good way. - [Stevie] Vanilla Chillin'. - I'm missing the nuts. - I think the thing that you
didn't like about the last one was the nuts, cause you
said it tastes burnt. This tastes better to me. - Well, 39. - 87. (crew giggling) - I miss the nuts. - 39. - [Stevie] Classic Chocolate. - You can't, what? - I mean, that wasn't my fault. - You're doing good. I don't know what they're up to. - That was McKayla's
fault, but I caught it. - He's like "I'm gonna have to grab it. You need to shove it in my face." It's like, I don't tell you how to do your thing, you don't tell me how to do
my thing, and it was great. - That's the best one, 89. For me, I mean. - Chocolate, that's nice. 74. - [Stevie] Double Down Chocolate. - Double down? - Double down? Double down. - Too much chocolate. - They're kinda all
bleeding together to me now. - 63. - 7 0. - [Stevie] Unicorn Dreamin'. - Okay, this is a gimmick. - Ew. That's got some gelatin
on it or something. - That tastes awful. - Ugh. - I wish I could undo that. - What is that on top? - I don't know, something from the devil. - Ugh. Four. - Is that a prank? (crew laughing) This is a prank one. Y'all made that. Five. - Yeah. - And that completes the cones category. You've now tasted all of
the Klondike products. Your scores will now be tabulated so that you may more closely
review the top four items and determine which is
the best of the best. - Before we've finished this, how about a quick gut check about the mythical kitchen channel? How are you feeling about it? - I'm feeling great about it. - Well, that's good. You know what? They also have a podcast, A Hotdog Is A Sandwich,
where Josh and Nicole debate culinary quandaries,
airing every Wednesday wherever you get your podcasts. - Also, I'm feeling
pretty good about that. - I'm glad we talk about this. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mythical kitchen, check it out, and then evaluate your emotions. - Where are we at here? - [Stevie] According to you, the top four flavors of Klondike products, in no particular order,
are Original Vanilla Bar, Classic Vanilla Sandwich,
Classic Chocolate Cone, and Double Chocolate Bar. - Okay, we've done it here. - So, the original made it to the end. - That feels good. - Feels good about that. - Open that puppy up, I'ma open this puppy up. - I mean, look at that,
it's a beautiful experience. - I'm gonna open up the Double Chocolate. I really like their slogan, what would you do for a Klondike? In this case, a bar. Alright, I'ma gonna take my bite of the, yeah, let's start with that. There's your chocolate. It's weird, in the moment the chocolate on chocolate felt like my preference, but now that I put them side by side, I feel like there's too much going on with the chocolate on the chocolate. - Too much chocolate. Yeah, you're right. You lose that balance. So we're kind of going backwards here. We think the original is better
than the double chocolate. - But what about the sandwich? Because it's basically- - Yeah, now the sandwich
really comes into play. - It's a little bit like, you know, it's the same sort of situation. It's vanilla with the chocolate coating, but it's a sandwich coating. - It's a pillowy, pillowy cookie. It's so soft. - I prefer an ice cream
sandwich over this. - And you know what's weird about it? It almost feels warm. - Almost warm, and pillowy. - Yeah, like the cookie- - Doesn't the cookie taste better than just the chocolate coating? - It does. It does. And I know that there's other
ice cream sandwiches out there on the market, but I dare any of them to
be better than this one. I think this is the golden
standard of ice cream sandwiches. - First of all, we just said that original is better than chocolate and this is better than original. So we know that we're probably getting rid of the chocolate on chocolate. - Yeah, we already have. And we've just gotten rid of that too. - Well, we know that it's not the top. So now it comes down to, what's better between the
sandwich and the cone? This is not going how I expected. I've never even seen this, this is like something
you give to astronauts. - Classic Chocolate. I like that it's got nice dome on top. - Oh, that's beautiful. - I'm gonna keep this
one intact for purposes. So here I am going off the other side. - I love the complexity of that, man. - Let me isolate a little
bit of the ice cream. - That is so tasty. - Now, I will point out- - This is so tasty too. - I know it's tough. Because, when you grab this
thing and you start eating it, what happens is you start to get some of that soft pillowy,
warm cookie on your finger. - But what about this, Link? - And that is really great. - Oh yeah, there's
chocolate in the bottom. There's still a little bit left for you. Man, dude. - They put chocolate in the bottom, they thought of everything. This is tough. So, we're putting the
original in number three. - If you're saying you
think it's tough, to me, that's good, I don't actually think that it's tough. To me, the complexity of this taste and the way the chocolate and the nuts and the chocolate syrup, the
way this all comes together is the same reason that
I love the drum stick. This is better than the
original drum stick. To me, I think that the
cone takes the crown. - I'm not going to argue with
that, but only by a sliver. So I'm putting this thing,
climbing the mountain, man. - So there we go. - Matter of fact, I'm
gonna put this thing, it's almost up there, you know? It's like, there we go. - So the official, and this is unexpected, the official Chosen Frozen, the best thing you can get from Klondike, is the Classic Chocolate Klondike Cone that's just for astronauts. - Who knew? - Congratulations, Klondike. (party poppers popping) You win no matter what. Not a sponsor. - Always scares me. - Thanks for subscribing
and clicking that bell. - You know what time it is. - I'm Alex. - And I'm Gillian. - We're at Devil's Churn, here in Oregon and we just got engaged,
and it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. - Congratulations. I will say, I feel like these
Wheel of Mythicality videos, people are getting closer
and closer to danger. - Yeah a lot of outdoors. - I'm on top of a mountain, I'm next to a wave that
could kill me at any second. - I love that people think about us when they're about to die. - Yeah, that's awesome. I'd love to be somebody's last thought. Okay. Stay tuned for Good Mythical More, we're going to give her
an adulterated opinions about different social etiquettes. - And to find out where
the Wheel of Mythicality is gonna land. - Nicolas's carnitas,
corn salsa, hot salsa, cheese, black beans, no rice. - No rice? Watching the carbs? Yeah, rice is just, it's too much. - You told me not to get rice. - What?
I demand justice for the Choco Taco! In all seriousness, Link needs his old scoring chart back, he was much more consistent.
We got some interesting data points added to Let's Chart About That! from this episode!
Highlights:
As someone who has had a box of unicorn dreamin' cones in their fridge...Rhett and Link were too generous with their scores.
As someone who has never had a Klondike product, the Choco Taco looks pretty damn good to me.
This ep really made me want a ice cream sandwich
I haven’t watched this yet but my first thought when I saw the topic was “Poor Link and his sensitive teeth!”
I'm hurt that they didn't taste rocky road. That one was always my favorite as a kid.
