Dairy vs Dairy-Free Taste Test

Can

dairy

-

free

products be as tasty as

dairy

? Let's talk about that. ♪(intro music)♪ Good morning mythical. This year I have learned a few things about my body. - Hmm. - (laughs) I've learned that I'm at least a little allergic to maple syrup, especially when you pour it on my body. - Yes. And I'm at least somewhat lactose intolerant. Oh! Which makes this an interesting episode for you, because your exercise now is to find dairy-

free

alternatives to dairy products. - Yes. And that's what we're going to see if we can answer today. Can we differentiate between dairy-free and dairy-free products?

It's time to, - ♪(upbeat music)♪ - Can we find out if there's dairy (Link) in there, while we're sitting on our butts? Then we will be presented with two elements. They look very similar. One is dairy and the other is dairy-free. We choose which one we think is dairy-free and plant our dairy-free flag on it. The loser of this exercise has to eat a dairy-free shake, but it's really just a blended version of all the dairy-free products we're going to try today. - Delicious. ♪(upbeat music)♪ Okay, first we have butter. (Link) Oh, this is going to be hard, I know. - Let's start again here? - We have applied the butter to the bread, we have done it...

We are not going to eat any of that directly. So we've dressed it up a bit to make it a little more challenging. - Here you have. - Thanks for the bread, friend. Thanks for the bread and butter, friend. We will be friends of bread. Now smell first. - It smells like bread and butter to me. - It smells like bread and butter. It really does. Oh, I have something in my nose. Do you know what really spreads my bread? That? I don't know, I was hoping you could tell me. (Both laugh) Look, I was buttered down.

You turned into a tongue of butter. Actually, I don't need to eat the bread. - Fake butter is made from... - Plants. (Rhett) Plants. I don't try the plants there. Do you try the plants? I don't try plants. Except the plants that made the bread. Is that a trap? That seems like a trap. But I will do it too. Mmmm, it's a softer

taste

, but a stronger after

taste

. That's hard. Well, they did a good job. You can't go wrong. The fake butter people did a good job. Fake butter people, you should be praised. And you are here. (Link) I think this...tastes better and it's not actually butter.

There is a slightly different aftertaste that hit me at the end, which was the only deciding factor for me. I feel like I have to go here, man. - Well. Alright. - (makes a silly sound) It's a game of chance. - (Stevie) Very good, Link, you're right. - (ding sound) - Yes! - Oh! I understand you. - Not precisely. - There was some kind of different little thing at the end. ♪(upbeat music)♪ We have an ice cream sandwich, cut into many small pieces. This one is thicker from the start, which screams ice cream to me. - Oh yeah. - Know? - The cross section... - This could be a compensation.

This could be compensation for something they know isn't real so they make it extra large. Then you won't notice it. - (Link) The cross section. (Rhett) I don't know. Let's try the shorty first. Well, he's chubby. Yes I know. - There's coconut in that. - Yes. Who added coconut? Does it have coconut flavor? - She doesn 't answer. - (Stevie laughs) I'm not even going to eat that one, because I don't eat dairy. (Both laugh) I don't need dairy in my life, man. I can't have dairy because it gets into my system and causes problems. But I wonder why it tastes so coconutty.

If you don't like coconut, you won't like that. But, if you like ice cream, you might like it, if you also like coconut. (Stevie) Alright guys, you're both right. - (ding sound) - Yes. ♪(upbeat music)♪ Okay, now we have dairy-free salmon versus milk salmon. No, actually, it's the cream cheese on the bagel. It's not salmon. (Rhett) But we've disguised it in a salmon and onion bagel. That I would never eat. Actually? Well, you're about to. And if someone served it to me, I would take it away. - I can't do that, friend. - (Link) I can't do it.

Well. Do you want to start over here? I'll bite off this end and then give you the other side. You have to experience the salmon and cream cheese, but then you have to ignore it. I mean onions. (Rhett) Both are strong flavors. Salmon really stands out, doesn't it? Hmm. Salmon swims against the current in my taste system. I couldn't get much information on that. The salmon prevents me from seeing the cream cheese. That's hard. - So you're not a fan of this? - No, huh. It is not too bad. (Link) I'm trying to find the cream cheese in my mouth and focus on it, but when you use it like glue, like we do here, I think we've already determined that dairy-free is a viable option.

I'm right? I tried something. I was actually thinking about this one. - Actually? - Yes, because I didn't... I knew more there. I tried dairy. - (Stevie) Link, you are wrong. - (ding sound) - Oh. - Very good, now we are tied. Very good, I tied it well. ♪(upbeat music)♪ Okay, so these salads have been tossed with ranch dressing, which is dairy-free? Let's find out. We also have carrots, lettuce, coo-coombers and tomatoes. - Coo-coombers are my favorites. Coo-coombers are not my favorite. (Rhett) Make sure you put the sauces in there. (Link) I have to get that sauce.

I don't know if that took me to the ranch. I don't know if that took me... That took me to the ranch's driveway, but not to the one-story house. (Link) Maybe this one will take us the rest of the way? Do you prefer a ranch style home? Oh yeah, I'm thinking about when I'm older. I don't want to climb those steps. Yes, that's what my mom says. That's why they moved into a ranch-style house. I've been writing to you mom about this. - (Rhett) Really? - (Link) Hm mm. But they don't have animals. Do you have to get animals if you are going to have a ranch?

Yes. (Rhett) I'll tell you right now, the ranch flavor of this one, super strong, makes me want to choose it. But I also know that people who sometimes do things that are knockoffs... do they overcompensate? - They exaggerate things. And maybe this is a ranch exaggeration. And maybe this is just an ordinary ranch. Because this also seemed diluted to me. But I think I have to follow my instinct here and I'm going to... Yes, do it. Alright. I don't think Rhett responded the way he intended, but let's move on. - (Stevie) Rhett, you are wrong. - (ding sound) - Oh yeah! (laughs) - You did it backwards, but it counts. - (laughs) - Yes, I meant that this one has dairy.

I said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes. Put your flag there." You have to read your flag every time. - It says dairy-free here. - They always say dairy-free. You were right, but you put up your flag... - So I'm going to use that as an advantage. - You can take it. ♪(upbeat music)♪ Sometimes this spectacle turns into something like being served a six-course meal. We just sit here and our friends bring us food to eat. They do this at my house too. - Are they coming to your house? - (Rhett) Yes. The crew isn't coming to your house?

I thought they split up. I don't like tomatoes, but I do like tomato soup. - Actually? And I'm not going to give explanations. But I didn't know there was... Well, I guess there's cream in tomato soup. I did not know it either. That's what makes it dairy. Very good, if I look at the viscosity. There is definitely a viscosity difference. Which would make you think this was the one that contained dairy. But let's analyze by taste. So how did that one taste? It tastes like tomato soup. I mean, I didn't know there was dairy in tomato soup to begin with.

So I didn't learn anything. If Chef Boyardee got hold of this, some of us would have some O's and some balls going on there. Do you have Chef Boyardee balls? Chef Boyardee, throw some balls in there and it'll be quite the mess. I've never heard of O's and balls. (Link and the team laugh) Oh wow! That is a clear difference. But listen, we think this is dairy-free and we agree on that. - Yes. But what I will say is that... Do you like it better? Dairy and dairy-free products are generally not eaten side by side. - That goes against the objective. - Yes.

So, we're stacking the deck against this product, but, if I just isolate it. That's really good. I don't think so, man. Chef Boyardee wouldn't let his balls come close to that. (everyone laughs) And that's why he chooses dairy-free products. Which, this time means it's dairy-free. - (Stevie) You are both wrong. - (ring sound) What? (both) No! - Do not do that. Don't lie to us. - No, that can't be true. - Actually? - (Stevie) Yes, it's true. - (Stevie) I'm not going to stay here. - Well, Chef Boyar-donkey. (Rhett and crew laugh) ♪(upbeat music)♪ Now introducing, only available at RhettandLink.com/store, the dairy-free cup. - (laughs) Which one is it?

In fact, we have a full line of dairy-free products. It's all our merchandise. Yes, the hoodies are... And the hats are dairy-free. I confuse them. We'll have to drink the same cup. Let's drink at the same time and then switch. I haven't been drinking coffee either. Wow. I've been missing it. - Is this our normal cafe? - (Stevie) Mmmm. - Is this office coffee? - (Stevie) Office coffee. I miss office coffee. Oh, you haven't been drinking coffee at all. I've been drinking tea. I gave up coffee too, man. There is no milk in coffee unless you add it.

I know, but I've been... - Damn, man. - I couldn't put the milk in, I just haven't been even... - You're flagellating yourself, man. - I have changed everything in me. This is hard. Wait a second. I thought this was going to be simple. Did you know? One of the things I've noticed is that I drink coffee every day and once I decide I like coffee, I don't analyze it anymore. And if this is the same coffee I drink every day, when I analyze it I realize that I don't like it. I don't like it either, I'm glad I left it.

I'm glad I stopped drinking coffee. - Man, that's... - Guys... It's the same thing. It's a trick. Is one of these a powder? Are they both liquids? Man, this is a disaster. I have to opt for this to be dairy free. This one has a little less staying power in my mouth. - (Stevie) Rhett, you're right. - (ding sound) - Oh! Alright. - Oh man. Man, we tied! (silly voice) We tied, Clyde. We're even? Finished? - We're even! - Is that so? - That's it, and we tie. - We tied. We are both dairy free guys. (everyone laughs) (normal voice) Thanks to Chef Boyardee for allowing us to mention his balls. - (laughs) - And-- Thank you for liking, commenting and subscribing.

Do you know what time it is. - Hello, I'm Teegan. -And I'm Delaney. And we're at the records archive in Rochester, New York. - And it's time to spin, - (both) the Wheel of Mythology. Watch Good Mythical Crew tomorrow morning on this channel, where you can watch Mike and Alex train for a beauty pageant. And right now, click on Good Mythical More, we're going to mix up all the dairy-free products and we're both going to drink them, because we're tied. - (silly voice) Tied up Clyde. (silly voice) We tied. - ♪(fanfare music)♪ - Gif! It's a Gif of the day.

Check it out, kids. - Wow! - (laughs) - (screams) Wow! (laughs) - Ah! Trying to be cute, huh? No. - He failed again. - Look at us. We are cute. No, we are not. (both laugh)
