♪ (French accordion music) ♪

- (host) Today you'll be eating this.

- Oh! What is that?

- What? What is that?

- It really feels like a rock.

It looks like a clam.

- Is that slime? No, no, no.

- I like clams. So if this is a clam, I'm fine with that.

- Ew!

Ew, I see stuff inside of it.

- It's either clam or mussel.

It's food that I do not think I'm gonna like.

I don't really like seafood.

- I had mussels before, but I don't know if this one is.

There's like a meat inside it, and then you just have to eat it.

- Oh, it might be an oyster.

The heads are closed probably opens.

Probably gonna have a salty flavor.

- Are they alive? Can they bite me?

- (host) No.

You gonna make me eat this?

Oh. That so came from the sea. Oh my god, my fingers.

- (host) Now you get to try the insides.

- Is that a barnacle?

It is a clam!

Or is that an oyster?

- It's, like, gooey. I don't like it.

- You have to slurp it or something?

- It looks so slippery.

(spits)

Yuck.

- (gags slightly)

Tastes like the ocean.

Ugh! (coughs)

- I will be brave, and I will sacrifice myself.

(gags slightly)

(gags internally)

I have just eaten a prehistoric creature

that was resurrected by the Fine Brothers.

- God.

Okay, that's not a clam.

- I just don't like seafood!

(whispering) Okay, whatever.

Nope. Nope.

I've never tasted something like this.

I'm probably never gonna have it again.

- I don't know about this.

My teeth touched it.

Oh god. That doesn't taste good.

I cannot swallow this.

- I have chills down my spine.

(retches)

Yeah, I don't like oysters.

- I think I know what this is. This is oysters?

My mom eats these. I know.

(gags) That was so gross.

- I don't like it at all.

Never try this.

- I haven't tasted boogers. But if I have,

I'd probably guess it tastes exactly like this.

- (host) You just tried an oyster. - Knew it!

- I can't believe I ate an oyster.

- Where is oysters from? The sea?

- (host) Oysters are different types of clams and mollusks

that live in the ocean.

They're eaten a lot on the east coast of the US.

- Okay, I seriously don't know why people even want to try this.

I'm really confused, because this is disgusting.

- I don't know how they could eat it.

Like, they're just like... (slurping) Like that?

I can't even eat one. I spit it out.

- They're not good. No! I don't like it!

- (hosts) Pearls are actually formed inside of some oysters

that live deep down in the ocean.

After a grain of sand enters the oyster,

it covers the sand with a mineral substance

that eventually forms a pearl.

- I do not want to touch a pearl ever, even if it's clean.

- This is another reason why this world is crazy.

- That's kind of cool how you can have pearls

inside a live oyster.

- It's not yucky. It's beautiful on the inside and the outside.

- (host) So finally, do you recommend that people try oysters?

- No.

-No.

- No, 'cause it's too slimy.

- No, no, don't try this. Don't try this at all!

It just tastes terrible.

- No.

This wasn't like, "I'm gonna throw up." But it was disgusting.

- Nooo.

The outside looks cool. But the inside is disgusting.

- Yes.

If you have the chance to have something, try it.

Doesn't mean they're gonna like it, but they should try it.

- No.

It's just a blob just dumped in a corner. Ugh.

And it tastes disgusting.

Do you like oysters? - (host) Yeah.

- Do you like oysters? - (crew member) No.

- High five, girlfriend.

- Thanks for watching us eat oysters on the React channel.

- What food should we eat next? Put it in the comments.

- Don't forget to subscribe.

We have tons of new shows for you every week.

- Aw, shucks. See you next time.
