- Jalape-no or jalape-yes? - Let's talk about that. (upbeat music) Good mythical morning. - We are in a golden age of flavor. There's flavored snacks, flavored drinks, there's even flavored
air, which we've tried. I recommend the piña colada
air, it's tasty and light. - There are truly a flurry of flavors for whatever you wish to savor and today, we're going to savor jalapeño. But with all the jalapeño
flavor snacks out there, which one is the closest to
the actual flavor of jalapeño? It's time for Super Snack
Flavor Match: Jalapeño Edition. - We're gonna rank the snacks
on a scale of one to ten on how close each taste to actual jalapeño and then we're gonna add up those scores and the snack with the
highest overall score will be declared the truest
jalapeño-flavored snack and will accordingly forever
be named Jalapeño Brian. I knew that was upside down. - But before we taste these snacks, we must establish our control
by tasting actual jalapeño. Bring out the raw jalapeño. (bowl scraping on desk) - 'Kay. - This is raw jalapeño.
- Dink it, dink it. Sink it, we just -- Okay, so we're--
- I'm gonna go full, I'm goin' full ring. - I'mma go half ring because -- - It's not bad, dude. They've taken the seeds out. - Well, I wanna get the flavor but I didn't wanna get so much hotness that it impacts the snackage. - No, that's not too bad,
it's not too bad at all. Very specific flavor, I would
say it's kinda jalapeño. - Taste that one, this one
only tastes like a green pepper and I'm serious. - I got my own, you got your own. - Taste it, it doesn't
taste like jalapeño. - It tastes like green
peppers, but hotter. - That one's not hot. - Let's see our first jalapeño snack. (gentle guitar music) First up, we have
Combos, Jalapeño Cheddar. - You don't have to open that, right? - I'm not gonna open it. - Save your little Twinkie fingers because all you gotta do
is grab this over here. Your, I guess, elongated twinkies. Dink it.
- Sink it. - My wife, I love her so much, and she loves Combos so much. But she loves pizza flavored Combos. I don't think she's ever gotten these. (crunching loudly) Well, the depiction of a
jalapeño pepper is very accurate on the packaging. I will start with that. - Let me say that it's a great taste. I taste heat.
- I'll let you say that. - I do not taste the jalapeño. I taste cheese,
- and heat. - Bread, and heat. - There's no doubt this is a good snack, but is it true to the jalapeño? - Again, what we're testing, it's very important that
you understand this, is how much does it taste like jalapeño?
- They understand it. I'm gonna give it a-- if I were giving it, if I were rating it on taste--
- It was a snack scale - Yeah, but that's not what we're doing. I want you to understand. - Yeah, yeah, you need to understand that's not what we're doing. - I want you to understand
that's not what we're doing. - [Both] I'm gonna give it a four. (both shouting) - Wow, what? - For a total of eight.
- Eight! (gentle guitar music) - Are these jalapeño chips
packed with enough flavor for you to pass up the
jalapeños in your guac? - Is that really what we're up against? - That's what we're up against. - Is that the question at hand? - Yeah, you got one here. - If I get 'em in my chip,
I can't have 'em in my guac. - You know what, man? Have a foldy on me. Here we go. Dink it. Sink it. (chips crunch loudly) Kettle make a good chip. - Now, these actually have
jalapeño powder in them. - They also got 220 calories per bag. - Hey, listen. I taste jalapeño, friend. - Ooh, 'cause when I taste the jalapeño, - That is good!
- With the seeds gone, it took longer for the heat to hit me, but it hit me under the title card, and I was like, oh, now I'm
experiencing that again, so, it's like, oh. - Before we give the scores here, let me just do a little PSA. A not insignificant
number of you out there say jala-pee-no. Most of you live where we come from. It's not jala-pee-no. It's jala-pain-yo. There's a little thing over the n. When you say jala-pee-no, you seem stupid. (crew laughs offscreen) Okay.
- Don't sound stupid, Say jala-pain-yo. End of PSA.
- I'm gonna give this one -- - Man, that's a --
- Eight? - It not only tastes
great, I'm tempted to go nine.
- Nine. I'm so tempted to go nine. I think I might do it. If-- - Nope, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna go nine. - But what if I want to? - Left in the dust. - Eight, okay, I'll stay with eight. - Nine. For a total of - [Both] 17. (gentle guitar music) - Hey, if you're into jalapeños, Josh shows you how to make
a Spam jalapeño popper over on the mythical kitchen channel, and if spice ain't yo thang, you can check out the brand new snack smash mountain dew moon pie. - What?
- Yeah, so both of those are over there. - And if that's not
enough Josh in your life, he and Nicole also have a podcast. It's called "A Hot Dog Is a Sandwich." It's wherever you listen to podcasts. - And if that's still not
enough Josh for you -- okay that is enough Josh for you. Let's eat some Slim Jims. Jalapeño flavor. - [Rhett] Uh, okay. - Keto friendly snack, Rhett. - Dink me. Sink me. This is hot.
- It does get hot. - This is hot.
- It's real hot. - It's hot.
- It's hot. - Hot.
- Hot. Almost too hot. Good god. - It also has--
- It builds. - Jalapeño powder. - Ew, I don't eat a lot of these. - It's pretty good. I like that kick, man. - This has the spice, but
does it have the pepper? I actually think it does. - It has it, but it doesn't--
- I'm giving it-- - Have it with the same sort
of clarity that the chips did. - I give it a six. - Um, you know what,
I'mma give this a seven. - Okay. For a total of 13. (gentle guitar music) - Today, PB&J stands for
peanut butter and jalapeño, And I'm a little bit upset, but I'm gonna keep an open mind, 'cause we've got Rustlin'
Rob's Jalapeño Peanut Butter right here. - Okay, I gotta say, ever
since our fan fiction episode, I haven't even looked at
a jar of peanut butter. But I know there is one
in front of me right now. - I have to be honest,
I have looked at 'em in a different way, but I have looked at 'em. - I think I could get to
the bottom of this one. (laughs) - Okay, Rustlin' Rob costs
a lot of money, y'all, $13, - You didn't have to open that
- I didn't have to do that. - I don't, I mean the swirl --
- Okay. - I don't wanna see the swirl. - Jalapeño in a peanut butter? Is this a good idea? - I mean, maybe.
- Should we? Should we do this? Ooh, that's thick
- It's thick, Rob. - I like a thick butter. - Look at that, Rob.
- Did I say this, $13? I did say that. - This is the most
expensive, you say that? - Now when you smell of it. - It just smells like peanut butter, 'cause peanut butter is so powerful.
- Is overwhelming. That's why I'm listening, you know? I like the consistency. - I like it.
- Pshew! - I like that bite. - Let's try to quantify how spicy it is as it increases. - I would say--
- It's the spiciest thing yet. - Oh, really? - It might just be the
cumulative effect, oh my gosh. - No, I think the way
that it adheres the spice to the roof of your mouth. So it -- and your tongue,
and it just kind of stays there, making it the hottest thing we've tasted. - It says--
- But the taste is still overwhelmingly peanut butter. - It doesn't say--
- Not a lot of pepper. - The ingredients say "peanuts and salt." - They forgot about -- - You think they put the
jalapeños next to the peanuts as they grew? - They're just spicy peanuts. - They're spicy by association (laughs), because, how did it get so spicy if you didn't put any -- - I think we to sic the
USDA on Rustlin' Rob, because he is lying on his jar. - I mean, am I wrong? "Selected roasted peanuts,
vegetable oil, and salt." - Contains peanuts, yeah. There's no evidence that
this is hot, except for, well, it says jalapeño right there. - Okay, Rob. I won't hold that against you.
- You're going down. You deserve it. But I do really like what you've done. - I gotta say it tastes good, but peanut butter is such a
distinct and strong taste-- - I like it. - That it just tastes like -- if you told me it was
habanero peanut butter, I'd be like, okay, you know? There's no, for me, there's
no specific jalapeño flavor. - Yep, I agree. - It's very good though. - But I do recommend it for spicy peanut butter.
- Yes. - If you think you might be into that, but for this, I'm giving it a three. - Wow, I was gonna say three. We're stuck on the same page.
- You can say it. - Same page, page three!
- [Link] For a total of six. (gentle guitar music) - Next up we have Snyder's
jalapeño pretzel pieces. - Now that, if you wouldn't
have said pretzel pieces, I would not have known
what I'm looking at. - Before you bite into those, let me just orient you a little bit to this.
- I can see that that's a piece of a pretzel. - Link, warning. (laughs) It doesn't say warning. It is in big print. "Contains wheat. Partially produced "with genetic engineering." - Parsh?
- Parsh. - Partially. - Partially mutated wheat. Yep. - And you smell it. - I can smell that mutation. - It also -- - It's advantageous mutations though. - Snyder's is not of Hanover. Snyder's is of Charlotte, North Carolina. And then it says, "we are not connected "with Snyder of Berlin,
Berlin, Pennsylvania." Wow. We have opened up
a can of complication. - Yeah, man. Put the lid on that. - They're not in Hanover.
- Where does-- - They're not in Berlin--
- To taste it. - They're actually in Charlotte, but they say they're in Hanover. - All we gotta do is taste it, man. - Oh, that's a good smell. I like that.
- All we gotta do. Yeah, don't think. - I want one off the ground. - Don't think, just eat, man. (crunching loudly) Crunchy, powdery. - Oh, that's tasty. I don't care where it's from. - Yeah, 'cause this is good. And it stands on its own. It doesn't need to be
compared to anything. Even that guy Schneider
from, what was that show? He was a mechanic, I mean the-- - John Schneider? - John? Oh yeah, that's the guy's name. - Of "Dukes of Hazard"?
- "Dukes of Hazard." Schneider was also the
name of the fix-it man in the apartment complex in
those reruns I used to watch. - Man, that was so good. "Three's Company"? - These are not spicy at all. - No, they're just good. - [Crew Member] All I see is
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Were you watching "Buffy
the Vampire Slayer"? - Much earlier than that. I'm talking like a 70s sitcom. - [Crew Member] "One Day at a Time"? - "One Day at a Time." - This has real jalapeño
peppers, real jalapeño peppers, not just powder. - It just doesn't -- it
has a really good taste, and if you're afraid of the spice, but you like the taste, this is for you, but as
far as our ranking goes, - Don't include me in this jalapeño boat, because--
- You don't like it? - I think it tastes like a jalapeño. - But it's not spicy. - But it tastes like jalapeño. It's not how spicy it is. It's what's the flavor profile. And I give it a seven. - Hmm. It did get a little spicier while I pretended to listen to Rhett talk. I'm gonna give it a five. - Oh, thank you.
- [Link] Total of 12. (gentle guitar music) - Finally the moment we've
all been waiting for, Jalapeño Spam! - Oh, goodness. I gotta conjure up some courage for this. I do see that there are
specks of jalapeño in that, which seems like cheating. - I don't think so. The second ingredient
besides "pork with ham," which, does that count as one ingredient? - You know, when your
ham is not enough ham, - Pork with ham.
- You add some more ham to it.
- Add more ham to the pork, please! Jalapeño peppers is the second ingredient. There's also--
- there's not a lot of-- I'mma try to get it, I'll get you--
- "Water, salt, "modified potato starch,
sugar, sodium phosphate, "flavoring, and sodium nitrite." That nitrite, you don't want
a lot of those in your body. Let's eat some Spam. - Review on Amazon says,
"Smells like cat food." - Yeah, well, it's Spam. - "It tastes like Spam with
a slight jalapeño hint. "Cats like it. "Can arrived damaged." If your Spam is damaged, it can arrive that way-- - Don't feed that to your cats. - So just don't panic. You held that too close to
your nose for me to dink. - All right. - Not trying to think about what this is. I'm just trying to think about-- - You know me, I've eaten
a lot of processed meats in my day. We pretty much had 'em,
like, had like a whole drawer full of them growing up, but my mom never did the Spam thing. We did Vienna sausage, before we did-- - Yeah, this is a bit tough for me. - It's not really that bad though. - I may be tapping into some
sorta childhood Spam trauma. - You blocked out some Spam situations? - Apparently. But you know, you don't
really have to chew it. I do like that. Hey, I'm not rating Spam. I'm rating if it tastes like jalapeños. Are you feeling any spice? - I specifically went in and grabbed--
- Yeah? - A little jalapeño bit. - Yeah, you mining for green. - And I gotta say, I
still just taste Spam. - Yeah, and my stomach is
kinda like turning over at this point. - For me this is really just sort of the suggestion of jalapeño, - Mm hmm. - Without the presence of jalapeño. - 'Cause you don't want
your cats to have diarrhea. - Exactly what I was gonna say next. - I'm giving this a 2. - Surprisingly, even
though it's got jalapeños that you can see in it, I'm gonna give it a one. - Yeah, that's right. That's a total of three. - I'm sorry, Spam. - Which means that Slim
Jim is not our winner, but it's second place, while four points ahead--
- Dramatic. - Kettle brand potato
chips, jalapeño flavored with a hot icon. - With a total score of 17, these things taste great,
they taste like jalapeños. They are not a sponsor, but they could be if the people at Kettle
would just listen to us. - Yeah. (Chips clink on can) (Wrapper rustles) - And, even though you've
already taken all of them out, that means that Kettle brand potato chips, jalapeño flavor, are officially Jalapeño - [Both] Brian! - Thanks for subscribing

Rhett sounded so weird in the first minute of this episode. Is he ok?
Just to ease everyone’s mind— Rhett was doing a bit. He was not upset at all. You can hear me and the rest of the crew laughing in the background.
Pretty sure Rhett's demeanour in the first minute or so was just a 'bit' :) It seemed like a joke or something that could have been going on before they started rolling, and once they started filming he just kept it up. The crew were all laughing.
Legit thought that Link was going to pour the bag of Kettle chips on Rhett's head!
I'm wondering if he had a cold, and was trying to go easy on his throat?
Or if he just decided, "I've been doing this for years; time to mix it up with a new mellow sound for today"?
But most likely he'd just come back from a full body massage, including somebody rubbing that booty knot.
Where are you guys getting that Rhett was being weird? I’m pretty sure the first minute was a bit since link and the crew were laughing at it. He did seem a bit unenthusiastic, but I mean who doesn’t every now and again?
Rhett was totally doing a Ron Swanson thing. Like someone said above, the whole crew was laughing on set so my guess is that this is just some kind of inside joke between them that we will never understand. Hahah.
Rhett sounded extremely bored in this one.
Seems like Rhett was having a bad day, and that's ok.
Does anyone know where to get Rhett's jumper? It looks so comfy!
