- Today we take flamin' hot
where it's never been before. - Let's talk about that. (groovy electronic music) Good Mythical Morning. - We invite you to check
out the Mythical Society, the online nexus of
exclusive Mythical content, including our private chat
room where you can interact with other Mythical Beasts and participate in monthly AMAs from us and crew members. Join the fun today at MythicalSociety.com. - Today we gon' get flamin' hot! - Uh-oh.
- Because flamin' hot-tah! - Oh you move, the microphone moved. - Flamin' hot!
- You got so flamin' hot. - Oh sorry, I flamin' hotted ya. (chuckles) It ain't just the spicy red powder that stains your fingertips
and your bowel, bitch. - Uh-oh. - It's a high mark of
culinary achievement, a staple of gastro
ingenuity, a flamin' force so inspiring that I once gladly became it. (suspenseful music) Ugh. Okay.
- You taste incredible. - Here's the nipple if
you wanna lick that. - For the record, I did
not lick your nipple. - On camera. - Thank you for offering though. Link is not the only thing
to have been flamin' hotted. Of course there's Cheetos but there's also Flamin' Hot Funyuns, Fritos, and Doritos, and even Taco Bell had
the Flamin' Hot Taco but there are still of foods out there that have yet to be
flamin' hotted until today. It's time for Stuff We
Try That You Can't Buy: Flamin' Hot Edition. - That's right so the question is, what has not been flamin'
hotted that should be and we picked some
popular name brand foods and asked Mythical Chef Josh to make flamin' hot love to them. (Rhett chuckles) - And it's gonna be our job to see if what was birthed is
worthy of mass production. We're gonna be deciding is it
flamin' hawt or flamin' nawt? And we're starting with breakfast. - Yeah, awhile back I saw this picture, popped up on Reddit. Flamin' Hot Cheerios, new,
people got really excited about this but it was just shopped man. - Just shop--
- Just Photoshop it. It wasn't a real thing but we're gonna do the Cheerios R&D department a favor and test this one out ourselves. - We have invented Cheerios:
Flamin' Hot version. - [Link] Yeah look at that. See if we got nutrition facts and a maze. - A maze.
- For the whole family. - [Rhett] It's amazing! - Look at that it's
basically like hell Cheerios. - There's nothing in here.
- What you call it-- - As you can see, I'm moving it like this because they're all right there. - It's over here, my brotha. - [Rhett] Now go ahead and
pour some milk in there. - Now the interesting thing, Josh, about Flamin' Hot Cheetos
is that the recipe for the flamin' hotness is not published. If you look at the
ingredients list on the stuff it just says flaming hot flavor so-- - So how'd you do this magic, man? - [Josh] Yeah so there's some kind of industrial food additives that you know you can kinda reverse engineer out of it, things like maltodextrin for anti-clumping and it gives it more body. - Of course, yeah.
- There's also red dye number 40 powder that's
mixed with dextrose. - Love that.
- Of course, dehydrated cheddar cheese
powder's one of the main flavors that you get.
- Really? - [Josh] You don't realize
it because it's cut with so much citric acid, 'cause Flamin' Hot
Cheerios are really sour. Flamin' Hot Cheetos, not Cheerios. - Yeah.
- Oh man. - Sour?
- Yeah, so you get a lot of acid with it so I
got citric acid powder and then that is just gonna
be combined with salt. There's a lot of MSG in
Flamin' Hot Cheerio, Cheetos. Garlic, onion, a little
bit of white pepper and it was all ground in
a coffee grinder actually to get the universal powdery consistency. - And it tastes--
- Incredible! - Spot on flamin' hot flavor. - You're right about the, what's the thing that makes it sour? - [Josh] Citric acid. - Yes, that is one of
the things that makes 'em so addictive, that there's
this super sourness and super hotness at the same time, and it tastes incredible on Cheerios. - How did you do it? You just told me how you
did it and I'm still like how did you do it?
- Hold on. It's not just, but hold
on, you're responding to how well he recreated it. - Yeah I haven't even got to the Cheerio part.
- I'm responding to how good it is. - Uh, well that's a different story. - But you don't like hot stuff. You don't like Flamin'
Hot Cheetos to begin with. - You know what I'm sorry
that I have my own opinion on this show sometimes, Rhett. You need me to agree
for you to be validated? - It has nothing about me. I'm validating the people who are excited about Flamin' Hot Cheerios,
not as some novelty because they thought it was real. Now it is real. And as someone who would
actually be excited about it, I think I'm gonna have to
be the judge of this thing and I'm gonna say without a doubt, this thing is flamin' hot. - And I'm gonna have
to be the second judge and say as a cereal lover, I
don't want it flamin' hotted. I'm sorry, so kudos to you, Josh. We're not fighting.
- It's so good. - We just choose to disagree. - [Rhett] So the verdict is flamin' hawt
- Flamin' nawt. - Now that we've had breakfast, let's move onto lunch in a can. If you've ever wondered, does Chef Boyardee have
flamin' hot ravioli? They boyardon't but maybe they should. - Uh-huh and we have made that, look how bright that is.
- Now if you can't remember what regular ravioli looks like, bring that in just to see
how red this has gotten. I mean that's--
- Look at the difference. Now Josh, did you just
sprinkle actual Chef Boyardee or did you recreate ravioli as well? - [Josh] No I recreated it so
I mixed the flamin' hot powder into fresh pasta dough, overcooked it just like Chef Boyardee and then I actually made it--
- Oh come on, hey. - Yeah, yeah.
- What? - Is it in the stuffing too?
- He helped win World War II. He's a hero but he overcooks his ravioli. - The meat mince stuff in
the middle is flamin' hotted? - [Josh] Yeah I even pureed
it just like theirs is so you don't really have to chew. - And Josh, I can't give you all the props 'cause I gotta give some
to the art department. Zack and the art department
worked this stuff up. But it does have your
face on it so you're-- - Oh yeah, you still win. (chuckles) Okay. - Chef Boyardee is you now. - [Josh] Yeah. - Now I thought this
was pretty interesting. Flamin' Hot Cheetos were actually invented by Richard Richard
Montanez who was a janitor for Frito Lay and he
decided to coat a Cheeto with a homemade chili
spice and then of course, there was a huge response to that. He was then promoted to
VP of multicultural sales for Pepsi Co. America. - Wow!
- That is a story for the ages. - You go, Richard! Dink it, sink it. - Hmm, it' actually pretty subtle. - It has a rolling heat to it. - I like foods that look
completely unnatural. Check mark there. - There's a little... Whoops, I dropped it on my hand. This is on the table.
- Now, you know how I feel about this, I already said
it was good in cereal, so this makes more since
'cause this is a savory item adding some so--
- Oh yeah absolutely. I'm eating it off the table
and you know what's been on this table.
- Oh so you likey? Mikey likey? - I do, yeah. - I think this could definitely
work on a mass scale. - Chef Boyardee, listen up. Beef ravioli-- - [Rhett and Link] Flamin' hawt! - Up until today, the famous Smucker's PB&J
sandwich Uncrustables has been both uncrusted
and un-flamin' hot. But why not? - Look at that. We got a Flamin' Hot Uncrustable, y'all. - It looks so real, Smucker's. We just gotta hand one over to ya and say, well just keep doing, put
that through your factory. Unless it's bad. - Oh yeah that's what
we're gonna find out. Incidentally, Smucker's
slogan since 1962 has been with a name like Smucker's,
it has to be good. Why? - I don't get the logic,
like what about the-- - It could be bad. Think of the things it rhymes with. - It's like smack is smacking? I really don't know
what they meant by that. We're good on size. It's a little less-- - Come on, you didn't have to
do a side-by-side, come on! (crew laughs) Why you gotta do that to Josh, man? - [Josh] It's not the size. - Let's just dink it, get a
healthy bite, and bite it. - I love this so much
I wanna eat it first. This is a magical thing
and again you're messin' with something that's precious to me. - Mm, it's also subtle. - You haven't gone too hard, yet, there's a bit of a heat. - There's a bit of a heat.
- At the right moment. Mm. - The sweet and spicy is really good. - And peanut butter makes
everything butter. (chuckles) - I'm about to eat the whole thing. - Yeah it's good. - I think you might have a difficult time marketing these to the intended audience because other than Link,
mostly children enjoy these. So I just don't think that kids are-- - And I'll fight kids
off when they're down to like one package left. I'm like punching kids in the face. - I just think children,
the whole flamin' hot meets like pre-schoolers,
there's not a big market. - You got a marketing challenge. - From a marketing standpoint,
I'm gonna say flamin' nawt. - But from a taste standpoint-- - From my soul standpoint,
I'm gonna say Uncrustables-- - [Rhett and Link] Flamin' hawt. - There are few foods so perfect that they should never be tampered with and Twinkies are one of
those foods but we went ahead and tampered anyway because if we didn't, we'd just be eatin' a regular Twinkie. We have flamin' hotted the Twinkie. - But actually Twinkie has
tampered with other versions. They've had peppermint,
strawberry, peanut butter, and cotton candy over the years. - How have I missed this?
- Since it was created in 1930. All right so we got two of these. - So we got some flamin'
hot in the cakey part but also on the inside, right? - It still smells mostly Twinkie. - Yeah you wouldn't know
unless you looked at it. - [Josh] And there's actual
whole Flamin' Hot Cheetos blended into the cake dough itself so there is some corn meal in there. - Dink it.
- Twink it. - I'm gonna break it and take a look. Look at that. Pink hot goo in the middle. - The cream doesn't
balance it as well as like the peanut butter and
jelly balanced the hot from the Uncrustables. - I would say it's a little weird. - This might be the
first one for me at least that's just not workin'. - I'm not feelin' it.
- I like a red Twinkie. - I'm not feelin' it either, man. Maybe if you put peanut
butter in there. (chuckles) Then I'm back on board but-- - Okay so Twinkies. - [Rhett and Link] Flamin' nawt. - I'm willing to bet you a
Hungry-Man microwave dinner that if you love Hungry-Man
microwave dinners, then you also love flamin' hot powder. - It is, that's true.
- Which is why it makes sense to combine those forces into one, the Hungry-Man Flamin' Hot
country fried chicken TV dinner. - Oh look at this. Now, we've got flamin' hot fried chicken, we got flamin' hot mashed
taters, we got flamin' hot corn, but we got regular brownie. (chuckles) Because it's just a little reward for getting through the meal. - Oh is that right?
- Mm-hmm. - Just a little comparison
if you wanted it. Here it is. Sad. - Happy.
- Happy. - I guess just--
- Man, I haven't had a TV dinner in so long. I used to just live off of these. - You've been a Hungry-Man before? - I've been called a Flamin'
Hot Hungry-Man many a time. - You wanna get some taters or you wanna go straight chicken? - I wanna get some taters. Dink it. Yeah, doesn't even look like a potato, it looks like some sort
of strange Mars food. - It's good, I mean, it's exactly what you think it would be. Now it tastes like you were saying. From a marketing standpoint,
the Hungry-Man market-- - They are ready.
- They are so ready. - They are ripe.
- There's Hungry-Man, listen, seriously.
- They are begging. - Listen to us, we created
so many things on this show and no one has ever
been like you know what, we're gonna do that.
- Hungry men are down on their knees-- - Hungry-Man.
- Around the world beggin' please to be flamin' hotted. - Oh that's, oh, you guys
put our address on there. (crew laughs) Oh, I was gonna call them
out where they're at. I don't know where Hungry-Man is. - And don't say where we are. - Well it just says,
you know, Hollywoodland. But listen.
- Hollywoodland, California. - Come on, Hungry-Man, listen. You guys gotta reinvent yourself. What's going on in the Hungry-Man
board rooms these days? It's not fun, it's not stale coffee. - It's not that you
need to be less hungry, you just need to be more flamin' hot. - Don't be afraid of them people's ideas! - Mm.
- Make a frickin' Hungry-Man Flamin' Hot Hungry-Man. I said it twice. - Wow. - That's good.
- It's really good. You guys are doing a good job. - Flamin' hot corn is good. It's better than regular corn. - Live your flamin' hot life. - Hey listen, we'll do a whole PowerPoint. Is that what you need? - Is that what you want from us? You want us to stroll into your business with a laptop under
our, what's that called? - Arm.
- Arm. And do a PowerPoint? - We will do a freakin' PowerPoint-- - We will click.
- In your frickin' board room. I don't care where it is,
it's probably in the midwest. - There's probably gonna be--
- I'll go there. I can fly.
- 24 slides at least. - Gosh! Just fricking live a little. - Get your head out of your own butt. - Hey hold on, no no no, take
that back, take that back. - Okay, I'm sorry.
- 'Cause I'm serious, I'm going if I have to,
listen, I'll come by myself 'cause he just insulted you.
- Listen man, you're not that hungry, your
head's not in your own butt. - That's right. Your stuff is great already
but it needs to be greater. - Yeah yeah, we can team up. - I mean the brownie's good. So anyway. (chuckles) - Hungry-Man frozen dinner. - [Rhett and Link] Flamin' hawt! - So Chef Boyardee--
- Please! - Smucker's, Hungry-Man. Hey, we're gonna PowerPoint up, just let's meet up somewhere. - Anybody who wants a
PowerPoint presentation from us, hit us up, we will be
on a flight, you know. - Everybody else just keep doing what you already been doing and
