Channel: Good Mythical Morning
[0]
can generic cereals fool us let's talk
[2]
about that
[5]
[Music]
[11]
good mythical morning good morning in
[14]
less than three minutes we will fill our
[19]
brave bowls and embark on a task that is
[22]
the greatest challenge in the culinary
[24]
history of breakfast cereal breakfast
[28]
cereal that term should have new meaning
[30]
for us today we can't be consumed by our
[34]
petty cereal preferences anymore we will
[38]
be united in our common interest in
[41]
cereal and our ability to tell the best
[45]
from the rest should we win the day the
[49]
10th of December will no longer be known
[51]
as Dewey Decimal System day but as the
[55]
day when we declared in one voice we
[58]
will not confuse name brand with generic
[61]
we will not vanish without a bite we're
[65]
going to taste off we're going to thrive
[69]
today we celebrate cereal taste test day
[77]
[Applause]
[81]
okay it's time for frosted flakes or
[85]
frosted fakes fruit loops or Froot Loops
[87]
Cheerios or cheery nose you get the
[90]
point let's eat some cereal all right
[92]
here's how this is gonna work we're
[93]
gonna get two bowls of cereal and we're
[95]
gonna taste from each of these bowls and
[97]
determine which has the name brand and
[99]
which is the filthy evil doppelganger
[101]
Decepticons know what you mean cuz a
[104]
doppelganger yeah we will make our
[107]
guesses by putting our hand over the one
[109]
that we think is the name brand the real
[111]
deal whoever gets the most right becomes
[114]
cereal Brian let's taste one okay guys
[119]
first up we have General Mills cocoa
[121]
puffs at 25 cents per ounce okay or and
[125]
targets generic choco spots which was 17
[130]
cents per ounce or and choco spots you
[133]
have both but you need to pick which one
[135]
is the name-brand
[136]
I wasn't allowed to eat chocolate cereal
[139]
growing up my momma drew the line there
[141]
get of all the processed meat we wanted
[144]
and now I'll tell you just by looking at
[146]
these they look the same
[148]
mine is making more of a chocolaty milk
[152]
thing happened I think this looks
[154]
browner well I'll tell you that's a good
[157]
chocolate cereal let's see how this
[159]
holds up are these balls a little
[161]
smaller
[161]
are they spots and not puffs will the
[164]
world ever know yeah you already know I
[169]
usually don't eat this kind of cereal
[171]
because a lot of it goes to the roof of
[172]
my mouth and raises it
[174]
I don't like a braise this is not good
[177]
no I will say that one of these is
[179]
better has is better one of these has a
[181]
much less chocolaty chocolate Ness to it
[186]
the chocolate levels are I would say
[190]
forty percent lower on one versus the
[192]
other
[193]
this could have been a part of my
[193]
childhood I'm not gonna say which
[195]
because I'm not going I don't want to I
[197]
would have behaved more I would have
[199]
been a good son if you would have given
[202]
me this at least you admit you weren't a
[204]
good son your hand read more that one
[208]
huh mm-hmm
[209]
over the name brand cereal in three two
[212]
one
[213]
so much more chocolate it rings better
[215]
the target target got a good game going
[218]
on so they may fool us yeah you may be
[220]
better you are both correct yeah yeah
[224]
it's the chocolate eating that's but
[225]
everything else is legit the malocchio
[228]
and they don't go spot I mean Target got
[232]
a good-looking box it's not like a sad
[233]
box either round two why is is Kellogg's
[238]
Froot Loops which retails for 29 cents
[241]
per ounce and the other is Kroger fruit
[244]
rings which sells for about fourteen
[246]
cents per ounce so which is which fruit
[249]
rings now one of these is almost twice
[251]
no no it's like a third tall but not all
[254]
of them do you see that like so the
[257]
machine that they're using at one of the
[259]
places is inconsistent it makes big loop
[262]
sometimes in regular loops other times
[264]
now I was able to I was allowed to eat
[266]
these because they weren't chocolate
[269]
they were the color of the rainbow and
[271]
that can't hurt you
[272]
this is one of my go-to s as a child
[277]
like at grandparent scenarios you know
[280]
not in my own home
[281]
just grandparent scenarios is that like
[283]
something that you get on an SAT test
[285]
yeah grandparent scenarios there's
[287]
somebody at the SAT headquarters I got
[290]
to come up with more grandparent
[291]
scenarios yeah yeah in that particular
[294]
question every answer is correct
[296]
just like at Grandma's house these melt
[299]
in your mouth
[300]
but not in a good way these are a lot I
[303]
would say crunchy err I would say more
[306]
sugar forward these are more fruit
[309]
flavor forward they feel like an echo of
[311]
those okay well if that gives you any
[314]
hints hand over the name brand and three
[317]
two one yeah it's got to be this one
[321]
you're both correct again yeah yeah
[325]
here's the things it's too easy so you
[327]
might you might actually find yourself
[329]
preferring the oh gosh they come in a
[332]
bag I knew it like sent me feed a dog
[334]
with yeah I refuse you cereal out of a
[336]
bag round three these is Kellogg's
[340]
Frosted Flakes which sells for 30 cents
[343]
per ounce and because apparently their
[345]
brand name is too generic generic and
[347]
they weren't able to obtain a protected
[348]
copyright the other is Ralph's generic
[351]
brand Kroger frosted flakes okay which
[354]
sells for 13 cents per so if you put the
[357]
word generic in front of frosted flakes
[359]
it's okay if I doesn't say that on the
[362]
box oh now I already know just by smell
[365]
because you touched your nose to one of
[367]
them just so you know I'm fine with that
[370]
at Nana and Papa's house they would
[372]
always get generic frosted flakes they
[375]
oh so you've had both it's still in the
[376]
cover and you love regular frosted
[378]
flakes but I don't all right back when
[379]
we used to get the variety packs in
[382]
college you you hugged all the frosted
[386]
whether it was mini wheats or flakes
[388]
you left me with like plain Cheerios I
[390]
don't know if you notice but I'm not
[392]
apologizing
[398]
I mean if I ate that alone I would just
[400]
think I'd eaten frosted flakes that's
[401]
all I gotta say one of them is more
[404]
sweet bye
[406]
I'd say a 20 20 percent sweeter yes a 20
[411]
percent sweeter they're both good ready
[416]
3 2 1
[419]
oh well you trying to chop me on the
[422]
head no I was trying to figure out you
[425]
are both incorrect
[428]
oh really this is difficult these are
[433]
good no there's no frigging way round
[438]
four in front of you you have Kellogg's
[441]
Frosted mini wheats which sells for
[443]
about 15 cents per ounce and malt-o-meal
[446]
mini Spooner's yummy tails for about 13
[451]
cents per ounce mini Spooner's I can't
[454]
tell the freakin different I mean this
[456]
one's a little wider or in this case
[461]
taller than this one but these are made
[464]
in the same Factory another or not I
[465]
noticed a distinct difference in the
[469]
machine the machine that makes them
[470]
these are a little more compact I mean
[472]
just a little bit I'm doing it dry hmm
[481]
and you can learn a lot that way now of
[483]
course this is my jam this is my
[485]
favorite cereal of all time there were
[488]
decades of my life where every morning
[491]
all I would eat were these I'm really
[496]
confused man alright cuz I thought I
[498]
knew I am astounded by how similar they
[501]
are in texture and in taste but there's
[504]
there's something there's a there's a
[506]
little genetic marker in there then I'm
[509]
picking up on that I hope you can't get
[511]
I'm ready to vote okay three two one
[515]
this one yeah and I'm going not by taste
[519]
but by the machine in the way it makes
[522]
them so you're just you're almost just
[524]
guessing shut up but what why do you you
[526]
think that's a like a generic machine no
[528]
they're square they don't come down to a
[530]
nice
[531]
hello shape see that pillow shape versus
[534]
a square on the end I think they get the
[536]
pillow shape right at the real place
[538]
there's a little bit of magic in the
[540]
taste of this one you are both correct
[543]
yeah that's right but hey if I gotta
[547]
give it to malt-o-meal come up with a
[549]
better name they've done there's a lot
[551]
of generic frosted mini-wheats out there
[553]
that I've tried and they they're
[554]
horrible mini Spooner sounds like a
[557]
converse you would go to at the LA
[558]
Convention Center right on five okay
[561]
this room we have kellogg's raisin bran
[564]
which we touch into cereal net would
[566]
know I have to touch the cereal since
[569]
four ounces that's why you have a spoon
[571]
and another malt-o-meal Raisin Bran
[575]
which sells for twelve cents per ounce
[577]
see now we know that malt-o-meal brings
[580]
the heat when it comes to yeah but we
[583]
also know that their machines are not
[585]
perfect malt-o-meal has imperfect
[588]
machines I've always known it they just
[589]
they save money on their to lean now we
[592]
could have Raisin Bran at my house the
[594]
McLaughlin's if bran was in there you
[596]
could go crazy my dad needed fiber hmm I
[601]
should get back into raisin bran I think
[604]
that every time I eat it just so good
[607]
sure I mom get back into it you know I'm
[609]
41
[610]
you got to observe it I'm trying to find
[612]
a racin I can't find a raisin in here I
[614]
don't say it so morning there's a reason
[616]
oh I need no more taste
[625]
three two one that that one over there
[628]
Balto meal exactly right that is not a
[633]
good cereal you guys are too good at
[634]
this you're right this is this is a
[637]
great cereal okay mono meal yeah and it
[644]
wasn't you deserve you deserve to be
[647]
sprinkled on the ground round six as you
[651]
can see we can't yes we have determined
[653]
that we're too good at this guys we need
[656]
to be blindfolded to remove our ability
[659]
to spot the Machine differences in the
[661]
material so what's here Stevie
[665]
gentlemen for this final round you have
[667]
General Mills Lucky Charms Oh sells for
[670]
19 cents per ounce and your favorite
[674]
malt-o-meal marshmallow mateys mateys
[678]
which goes for 15 cents per ounce ok
[684]
that doesn't feel like a bowl there it
[687]
is
[687]
ok I never really ate Lucky Charms
[690]
because I don't really like the charms
[692]
they're not Irish not a big marshmallow
[694]
in my cereal fan ok that's not a bad
[696]
cereal won't sweet oh I hit the ball in
[701]

[716]

[718]

[720]

[728]
made is that time we made time but
[730]
you're not gonna beat me I'm ready huh
[733]
