today we eat food you can't buy at the
store no more let's talk about that
[Music]
[Applause]
good mythical morning right now
somewhere in the world there are some
food scientists who are working
tirelessly to create the next snack food
that will blow your tastebuds away and
this is a trial and error process I mean
sometimes they strike gold and they
create sour cream and onion potato chips
and sometimes they fall a little short
and create corn nuts today we are going
to be exploring those foods that fell a
little bit short and were discontinued
and but we have used our powers our
magical powers of Rican tin Ewing to it
at least bring some here on the show
today the actual discontinued magical
powers of going on eBay and buying
things yes it's true so we're gonna
determine if the discontinuation was a
good choice or if they should be brought
back it's time for snack back to reality
oh they're so snacky d all right
recently we did a Altima sour cream and
onion snack taste test but there's one
sour cream and onion snack that we
didn't include because it has been
discontinued and that is Doritos well I
don't remember these it sounds like an
incredible idea yeah I don't remember
him but they started they were
introduced in the late 70s and they only
made it until the early 80s and then
there was a they brought them back for a
little bit in 2012-2013 I missed that as
well throwback iver but here's the old
school commercial for sour cream and
onion Doritos if you are fussy about
your sour cream and onion dip I am you
will really love our latest flavors so
for a snack with a great taste of sour
cream and onion already on the chip try
sour cream and onion Toledo's they taste
as good as they crunch well Mario looks
terrible they brought the house down man
all right we've got we've got these we
got some now this is not the mario
package this is not this isn't even to
2012 or 2013 packaging because in Japan
they never took these away hmm
so we eBay these from Japan only paid
three dollars and 25 cents for them
that's a good price
now the only thing I can read on this is
Rito's well I can also read limited it's
Lee Steven Lim I can't read frito-lay
you know lots of English on here I feel
at home now pop it open it will give it
a nice tear now let's smell oh yeah oh
yeah nothing wrong with that
it's actually the chief smell I smell is
still it's still the corn chip well and
that maybe that my friend why they
discontinued them because we know it
works well with the regular potato chip
I'm going oh that's good
what could be wrong hmm man this is
reason to move to Japan mom and they
give these and taketh these away I think
because there's so many sour cream and
onion things that are disposable there
that they're exploring new gimmicky
flavors instead I feel like I can eat
the whole bag right now yes I feel like
I'm gonna fight you for that look you
know what I kind of feel like maybe Cool
Ranch has taken the place of these
because it has this creamy sort of tangy
taste to it there's enough room in my
particular heart for both Cool Ranch and
sour cream oh yeah in ass like taking a
trip straight to Tokyo
so should they be rican tin you'd in
America heck yes absolutely
over the years kool-aid has made many
different flavors and many of them have
been discontinued including this 90s hit
lemon ice let's watch it salsa the
kool-aid man I remember this commercial
who knew he was a chemist why did
everybody have to have like a moustache
and bushy eyebrows it's so funny and it
makes me so thirsty something's
happening in my mouth that's called
taste yeah that's happening okay so I'm
just full of it now your typical pack is
gonna cost like 250 for 12 we have
obeyed these discontinued packs these
are the actual ones from the night need
us for $10.50 for for 10 packets so it's
a bit of a price jump we've got some
sugar water here now I don't know if
this is safe I don't know what happens
to kool-aid you know over the decades
I'm thinking nothing it smells exactly
like I would expect you to smell this is
already sugar water right yeah so
there's there's bunkers of this you know
hidden in like bomb shelters and rush
it's gonna it would take just the same
oh I love the way it looks like that it
looks like there's guys on the jars not
ice in it looks like lemon ice
all right so that's that's that's pretty
you know I wasn't allowed to drink
kool-aid
there was one of the things that my mom
just drew a boundary around you didn't
earn it too much sugar gotta iron it all
right so um like watered-down milk
alright so let's listen let's give it a
sniff it smells smells like a spicy or
eliminate yeah pick it and drink it
what's happened in your mouth right now
what's happening in my mouth should we
call the fire department
should we just drink more lemon ice so
there's got a Facebook you said whatever
happened to lemon ice kool-aid that my
friend was the best kool-aid himself
responded and said Chris lemon ice is
not currently available but if you have
truth if you haven't try lemonade
kool-aid and then he replied and he said
I have but it doesn't have the zing that
the ice has let me tell you it does have
as coulis or something almost like I
might be drinking something that's got
poison in it but you know what I'm
saying in a really good way I don't know
I know I like it I like the poison I
think that giving this to children is
giving them a taste for poison I think
you get a minute in beakers man the next
thing you know they're under the cabinet
you know you don't want that cleaner I
want some cleaner in my mouth I think
you're right so because this is a safety
hazard yeah should this be rican tin
you'd know okay we all know Altoids as
the curiously strong mint but they also
had some curiously strange flavors for a
little bit including citrus Altoids now
these were introduced early 2000s and
they were discontinued in 2010 okay so
didn't make it a decade but there is a
little bit of a movement to bring them
back there's actually a change.org
petition started by Sam Willner has 174
supporters all right sam says let me
start off by saying these things were
the bomb even though they wrecked the
roof of your mouth they were sweet tangy
even not very unhealthy more than that
they were the quickest pick-me-up for a
sixth grader whose turtle died under
mysterious circumstances
feeding them to the turtle not a good
idea so we have some now this is the
curious process to get these because we
paid $50 from David Cross David Cross
was selling these on eBay who knew he
needed the cash right
hey that's what he's doing he's not
acting anymore he's just charging a lot
of money for her old alt oh man okay no
so these are expired 2005 oh my goodness
let's open them and so you you press on
this to get it to okay
there comes okay it's like oh no it's
entirely melted fifty dollars for one
big melted Altoid mass I'm so
disappointed in David Cross right now oh
my gosh it looks like fat that's been
lipo suck it does look like human fat
like when they show you yeah the doctors
like do you know what a pound of human
fat looks like here it is in an Altoids
can I'm selling them on eBay for $50
they don't tell anybody
this is why you gave us spoons now I
understand like give a little bit give a
little bit put it down I got some free
see if you can get some free man this is
a $50 these better be good David my
spoon there you go here's a piece that
that is a good one if I have an Altoid
Oh tastes like an air freshener bad oh
my god it tastes like an air freshener
something hanging down in your car and
it feels like a hardened piece of gum
you pulled out from under oh like desk
like oh man that wasn't gum that was in
here freshener am i see why your turtle
died oh my goodness I feel like the jury
is still out on this one because
something about it being over ten years
old like melted and recon I don't feel
like I can make a judgment call but if
this is what is the best representation
of citrus al toys that we have is should
they be brought back no no and now let
me take you back to 1993 when there was
such a thing as crystal clear Pepsi they
had an amazing commercial which featured
van Halen song right now we're gonna
show you the commercial but we've
replaced the van Halen song with an
arguably even better song which we've
used on our show before
[Music]
yeah thank you baby
it watches
[Music]
Computers can laugh now by the way
make it clear whoa
so refreshing it's a big glass all right
I'm gonna stop it right there on a
shirtless man want to see more drinking
a clear Pepsi right now someone just got
a taste of the future you're welcome
it's like a PowerPoint commercial it
really looks like the guy in the ad
agency did a PowerPoint presentation
about why he wanted to bring it back and
I was like the commercial yes that's it
that's right just add van Halen it is a
lock all right
now we actually have it right here the
thing is I'm told it went away in the
early 90s but then it was brought back
in January of this year in a fluke of
marketing and then was discontinued once
again but we did get our hands on these
let's crack open the clearness now I
remember when this came out their slogan
in the 90s I thought that it was there
was a lot of like questions around is
this just gonna taste like Pepsi but
it's clear or is this gonna taste like
is it a different flavor is it not Cola
anymore is it healthy 250 calories per
20 ounce bottle that's healthy studies
indicated that people thought clear soda
was healthier than darker soda all right
the studies also indicated that people
don't understand right alright let's
taste it though $15 for a six-pack
everything I remembered it being of
drinking a Pepsi like a just a normal
Pepsi it tastes like Pepsi that's had
something important taken out of it
I mean honestly I feel like like it's
soul it's like a soulless Pepsi yeah
it's like Pepsi that's been through a
really bad experience
it's like Pepsi without a conscience
well I really wanted to like this just
out of nostalgia I like it you do I like
Pepsi you know so I like this it tastes
no different than Pepsi to me it's clear
Cola
that's right because it that's what it
is that's the weird thing it's like when
you
it tastes like when you go to a
restaurant and the fountains not working
right you're like oh you're fountains
not working the syrups broken well no
that doesn't have any flavor right this
is different it has all the flavor of
Pepsi it doesn't have all the fleet
doesn't it has all the flavor let me
close my eyes and taste it take your
shirt off - probably I think that's what
it means is that just Pepsi right
okay so sure this
doing it for my should this stay
discontinued well if you really like it
I mean maybe I'll get some for your
birthday so I guess we should bring it
back I don't think we should bring it
back I think you should just close your
eyes when drinking Pepsi okay there we
go should not bring it back no okay so
the only thing we're bringing back is
Doritos and they actually already exist
in Japan so I don't think we've
accomplished anything but hopefully you
