- Today we each a bunch of expired food.
00:00
- Lets talk about that!
00:02
- Good Mythical Morning!
00:12
- Some of my favorite foods are spoiled,
00:14
liked dry aged steak, blue
cheese, and car seat fries.
00:16
- Well today we may be adding to that list
00:19
because we're gonna be
tasting some expired foods,
00:22
but the question is,
00:25
will we actually be able to tell
00:26
that they are expired?
00:28
♪ You're the date that's on my food ♪
00:31
♪ You're the expiration ♪
00:34
- Americans on the whole are so terrified
00:39
of eating spoiled food,
00:41
that we waste 150,000
tons of food each day.
00:42
- Yeah, and confusion
over expiration dates
00:48
is a big cause of that waste.
00:50
In fact according to Time.com,
00:52
expiration dates solely indicate freshness
00:55
and are used by manufacturers
00:58
to convey when the
product is at it's peak.
00:59
That means the food does not expire
01:02
in the sense of becoming inedible.
01:05
For unrefrigerated foods there may be
01:06
no difference in taste or quality
01:08
and expired foods won't
necessarily make people sick.
01:10
- No difference in taste or quality, huh?
01:14
Well we will be the judge of that.
01:16
That's what we're gonna do.
01:18
We'll be presented with
two versions of a food,
01:19
one of them will be beyond
its expiration date,
01:21
we're gonna taste them both
01:24
and then stick our flag
01:25
in the one that we think is expired.
01:26
- Whoever guesses the most right
01:28
will officially be name
tagged 'Expiration Brian'
01:29
- Let's get to tastin'!
01:33
- [ Rhett and Link] Round one!
01:34
I'm predicting yogurt's
tough because it's so tart.
01:38
- Well it's got a bacterial
culture already in it.
01:41
- Lets start over here...
- Come over here!
01:43
- This one's smooth, that one looks lumpy.
01:45
- Smells like yogurt.
01:50
- Ill take your word for it.
01:52
- Unflavored, which wouldn't
have been my choice,
01:56
it doesn't taste good to me.
01:58
I like a straight...
- It's pungent.
02:01
I wanna know that that bacteria's gettin'
02:04
inside my system and
reorganizing the gut flora.
02:07
- You might just be liking expired yogurt.
02:14
- I don't like the idea of knowing
02:20
that one of these is definitely expired
02:21
and I'm definitely gonna eat it.
02:23
- The edge has been taken
off a little bit hasn't it?
02:28
- I don't if it's
because we ate it second,
02:30
but it's not as pungent,
02:32
but the consistency is
definitely different.
02:34
- But does the edge increase or decrease?
02:37
- Are you getting an after taste?
02:40
Distinct taste of spoon.
02:44
- Okay, I'm ready to vote.
02:46
I'm voting we don't have to,
02:52
you don't have to do a three, two, one.
02:53
Ha! I just wanted to trick you.
02:57
This one's definitely expired,
02:59
I got an after taste that was nasty.
03:01
- I think its tart and
it gets better with time,
03:04
- [ Stevie] The expired yogurt is on...
03:08
- [ Stevie] 22 days old.
03:12
- Yes.
- 22 days old? Still like it.
03:14
- And it's not that much different,
03:16
just only slightly.
03:18
- [Rhett and Link] Round two!
03:20
- Both of them look like
barbecue sauce to me.
03:22
- But it's ketchup.
03:25
- It's dark ketchup.
03:27
- That's dark, this is even darker,
03:28
get a little pinky dip.
03:31
- Has some acidity,
03:38
which is not unexpected.
03:39
I don't know what kind of ketchup that is.
03:40
- This is a weird brand of ketchup.
03:42
- It's a weird ketchup.
03:43
- For it to be this dark anyway.
03:44
- Got a lot vinegary.
03:49
- Again I don't know what that means.
03:50
- What does it all mean Link?
03:53
- Here what I'm gonna say,
03:54
I'm gonna tell you
which one I like better.
03:55
This one has got much more bite,
03:59
it's much more vinegary.
04:01
- It definitely tastes better.
04:04
- I'm going against what I
did last time in assuming,
04:07
- [ Stevie] Do you want a three, two, one?
04:14
- [ Stevie] Three, two, one.
04:16
This one tastes good,
04:19
that one got a nasty...
04:20
- Yeah it's lost it's tartness,
04:21
which is what happened to the yogurt
04:23
so I'm going with the lesson.
04:24
- [ Stevie] The expired ketchup,
04:26
which is over six months expired...
04:28
- [ Stevie] Is on Rhett's side.
04:31
- Okay it's changed significantly.
04:34
- It mellowed, but not in a good way.
04:35
- [ Rhett and Link] Round three!
04:41
Now salad gets slimy.
04:44
I tried to make like a limerick.
04:48
I'm gonna start over
here because I'm hungry.
04:57
Heres a piece of chicken,
05:03
doesn't look expired.
05:05
- Gonna learn things.
05:06
- Nothing unexpected here,
05:10
I'm gonna get the same thing.
05:14
I really don't want to
eat expired anything,
05:15
much less chicken and leaves,
05:17
which is what I call Caesar salad
05:20
when I order at a fine
dining establishment.
05:22
- Do you have the chicken and leaves?
05:24
- It's a little more floppy.
05:30
- But would they put the expired item
05:31
on my side three times in a row?
05:33
- I don't know, I'm not
keepin' track of that.
05:39
- That's all part of it Link,
05:42
that's all part of the game.
05:44
- I will say, it doesn't
taste dramatically different.
05:46
- It's just floppier.
05:50
- [ Stevie] Okay, three, two, one.
05:52
- But a floppier one has to be expired.
05:54
- It's gotta be the expired one.
05:56
- [ Stevie] The Caesar salad,
which expired yesterday,
05:58
- Oh! You switched it up!
06:03
- But it was only one day expired,
06:05
so that's why it was so tough.
06:07
That's just floppy salad man.
06:09
You don't wanna eat your
meat and leaves like that.
06:11
- Chicken and leaves.
06:15
- Well chicken and leaves in this case.
06:16
- [Rhett and Link] Round four!
06:19
- I don't believe I would
ever consider a 'logenge'...
06:26
Do you have the lozenge
06:34
to follow up my chicken and leaves?
06:35
- You said 'logenge'.
06:37
- Do you have 'logenges'?
06:39
To follow up my chicken and leaves.
06:40
What I was trying to say was,
06:43
I don't think I would ever
consider a 'logenze'...
06:45
[ laughs] a lozenge expired.
06:48
- Well look though,
06:53
look at the color difference.
06:55
The one on Rhett's side
is much more vibrant.
06:56
- It's like a amber color, you know,
07:00
it's as if you might find
a biological specimen
07:02
in the middle of that,
07:06
in which you could start
an amusement park with.
07:07
- I think this is taking
me back to the Alps.
07:12
- I don't even think tasting is required.
07:15
- Pursing my lips on a extra long horn.
07:17
That's what they do in the Alps man.
07:22
- I didn't need all that imagery.
07:25
I'm a bit afraid of.
07:31
- What if it gets purer with time,
07:32
you ever thought about that?
07:35
What if the cloudy is the
way that they want it to be.
07:35
You ever think about that?
07:38
Alright, I've got my answer.
07:40
- Does the cloudy one that you spit out
07:42
taste different than the other one to you?
07:45
- I didn't taste the other
one, I don't need to.
07:47
In fact I'm gonna tell you
how many days it's expired.
07:49
It's over two years expired.
07:52
- Well I'm gonna tell you right now,
07:54
it tastes no different.
07:55
- Because I had the guts to taste it.
07:58
- And you know what, it probably...
08:00
- I'm still tasting it.
08:01
- It probably still has
the same Ricola effects.
08:02
- [ Stevie] Are you ready?
- Yeah.
08:07
- [ Stevie ] Three, two, one.
08:07
- But is has to be expired,
08:10
I'm still eatin' it though.
08:11
- [ Stevie] It has expired
over three months ago,
08:14
and it is the one on Link's side.
08:18
- Yep, yep, if you had something different
08:21
I would have questioned everything
08:23
about my existence up until this point.
08:25
- But it still tastes great.
08:26
[ Sarcastic Laughing]
08:29
- [Rhett and Link] Round five!
08:32
- Okay we have some spaghetti.
08:33
- And I believe these are
both whole wheat noodles.
08:35
- I believe you as well.
08:38
- Believe me man, I
wouldn't send you astray.
08:41
Now is it the noodles or the sauce
08:44
that's expired in one of these?
08:46
- We spare no expense.
08:51
- Can you say that again Stevie
08:52
and say 'bof' with an 'F'?
08:53
- I got no complaints.
08:59
- Yeah, I wouldn't taste it again.
09:02
- Okay, you just about...
- Noodled myself.
09:07
- I'm startin' to get some
complaints on this one.
09:17
- I got more complaints
about that one than this one.
09:20
- I mean I'm pulling on experience
09:23
from eating the discontinued snacks
09:26
that we buy off Ebay and
do whole episodes around
09:29
and I'm getting some
of that like saw dusty
09:32
thrift store thing from these noodles.
09:34
- Oh, he's spitting them out.
09:38
- I'm not trying to telegraph my vote,
09:41
but I think I just did.
09:46
- It's gotta be right,
09:48
but I gotta do something,
09:49
I'm trailing at this point.
09:51
But you know what, that's
gotta be expired right?
09:52
- Uh no you can do that.
09:54
- No you can do that.
09:57
- Okay good, that's good, stop there.
09:58
- [ Stevie] Okay so the pasta
is over five months old,
10:00
and the sauce is about a month old,
10:04
or past expiration,
10:07
and they're both on...
10:08
- That's very obvious,
10:12
I do not recommend keeping
that spaghetti around.
10:13
- Again, I don't think it's gonna hurt us,
10:16
but it does not taste good.
10:18
- It wasn't the sauce,
10:19
it was the noodles mostly.
10:20
- [ Rhett And Link ] Round six!
10:22
- We have a full American breakfast.
10:24
- We got a english muffin, eggs, bacon,
10:27
and expired coffee on one side.
10:29
I don't feel great about this.
10:30
- [ Laughs] Why not?
10:32
You're an American!
10:33
- Who wants to eat an expired egg.
10:34
- Me, because I wanna
be able to tell people
10:37
what it tastes like.
10:39
- That's the thing that makes
me most nervous man, the egg.
10:40
The thing you're going for first.
10:43
- It's been cooked though.
10:45
I gotta taste a little bit of the egg,
10:48
and a little bit of the egg.
10:49
- That egg tastes normal.
10:52
- But there is a difference.
10:56
There is a difference.
10:58
- This egg was a little softer but again
11:00
it might have been prepared
slightly differently.
11:04
- You ever eat an American
breakfast and just think,
11:08
- You ever eat a continental
breakfast and think,
11:21
' I am on a continent.'
11:23
- Yeah, all the time.
11:26
- I will say that bacon
did not taste good at all,
11:27
but it's a different brand of bacon
11:31
than this one I think.
11:34
- And we also have coffee.
11:35
- This bacon tastes much better,
11:36
but it may just be a brand thing.
11:38
- Well we got one mug.
11:41
- How was that coffee?
11:49
- Which side did you,
11:58
- Can you imagine if we ate like this,
12:00
like in public places.
12:03
- We should go to a Holiday Inn
12:06
and have a continental breakfast
12:08
and eat it like that,
12:10
and just film peoples reaction.
12:11
We'll start a prank channel!
12:13
- I'm gonna get this!
12:14
- We'll call this dual eaters
12:15
havin' the continental breakfast!
12:16
- Its like a team building exercise.
12:18
- Okay I have a strong opinion here.
12:19
- I have a very strong opinion,
12:22
it's based mostly on the bacon,
12:24
and a little bit on the eggs.
12:26
- [ Stevie] Three, two, one.
12:27
- Yep that's what it is man.
12:28
- What are you basing it on?
12:32
- Every single thing
tasted a little bit worse.
12:34
- [ Stevie] You are tasting
eggs that expired 13 days ago.
12:38
- [ Stevie] Bacon that
expired 28 days ago,
12:42
and english muffin that
expired 25 days ago,
12:45
and coffee that expired over a year ago.
12:47
- That coffee was bad.
12:52
- [ Stevie] And all of
it was on Rhett's side.
12:53
- We're good at this.
12:58
- Yeah, you're just a
little bit better though.
12:58
Congratulations Link,
13:01
that means that you are officially
13:02
' Expiration Brian',
13:04
I'll do the honors.
13:07
- Come on, come on man.
13:10
I finally won something!
13:11

commenting, and subscribing.
13:14
- I think, don't worry
about expiration dates,
13:16
that's what I learned.
13:19
Maybe we shouldn't.
13:19
- Yeah don't worry about the time.
13:20
- Oh, you know what time it is.
