I just imagine after any of the food episodes the crew gets the weirdest potluck lunch with the extras
I think that all the time. The Tillamook ice cream buffet was probably tough for the lactose crowd.
pig brains & insects
I remember way back when, in an episode, they had brought up this up. Whatever is obviously edible for everyone/most will be consumed by the crew. Anything else gets donated to pig farms for slop or composted. Don't quote me on this, just what my memories tell me. But I remember it coming up in an episode
Trevor will eat all of the century egg toast
Pig blood and liver yumm
Erewhon used to be a semi normal independent health food store. They only very slowly morphed into an expensive luxury status type store. I work nearby, but rarely go there. It's weird that people would pay 15 bucks for an egg salad sandwich. It's just boiled eggs and mayo!
What you described is egg salad. Egg salad sandwich also contains bread. \s
@@MrKuncolwell that changes everything. It has to be worth 15 bucks if it includes bread 🤣
Don't forget the sad lettuce
15$ for a sandwich then complain that rent is to expensive.
@@guaip lettuce in egg salad is weird
I'm glad to see that even with their success they haven't lost touch with how expensive things should be
Or that they all seem to think that no one is ever watching...
2.5M views ✌
I love that every time they do these episodes they talk up Kroger at the beginning and then get surprised when Walmart is better almost every round.
For real🤣
except kroger does have the best stuff generally
It’s also basically the same price as Walmart cents on the dollar difference at most.
It was about half and half
Well Kroger did have the best according to them for 50% of the rounds
The fact that there is a store that sells normal food at 10x the price just so people can feel better about themselves for shopping there, that is the most California thing I have ever heard
Reminds me of the Payless Shoe stunt
*American. It's the most American thing ever.
@@longliverocknroll5Ah yes i'm sure erewhon influencers are super popular with farmers in utah
@@rasmus7493 right, because one store is the only example of this in America. How was summer school, kiddo?
@@longliverocknroll5 i travel all over the US and have never seen anything like this outside of southern California, Seattle, and eastern New York
When you thought Whole Foods was expensive
Whole Foods is actually cheaper than Publix for a lot of things now
not only is whole foods cheaper but it seems significantly better considering how often walmart and kroger beat earworm or whatever.
@@dirtrider88 earworm 🤣
Their 365 line is quite well priced, especially for the quality!
The egg salad sandwich is the Erewhon equivalent to Whole Food's asparagus water.
I think Erewhon is just a social experiment. It’s giving strong “Emperor’s New Clothes” vibes.
it's also *almost* the word "nowhere" backwards. that fits with your theory.
@@jlt131 that’s based on a novel and is intentional
@@cosmosisrose ah! Super.
Props to the art department! I am obsessed with the little grocery baskets! So cute!
I've seen those for kids in grocery stores.
They most likely just bought that from somewhere since I've seen that same kiddie cart at a few stores.
& art to the props department!
They're very cute!!!!!!
they are very cute and make great decorations
Take a shot every time Rhett says “flavor profile”
Of alcohol? Or of $10 wellness shots from Erewhon? Cause I can only afford one of those options 😅
😂
LOL
Read this comment exact when Rhett said flavor profile
living in australia i get a GMM episode every night before bed, favourite part of my nightly routine
Sameeee I love going to bed at 10pm and watching gmm every night
I do the same more recently, one of the perks being Aussie.
7PM in my place, always watch it with supper
japan moving to sydney soon🎉
830pm ritual for me
I went from watching these as a kid every now and then, to looking forward to every new episode everyday. Years of the best show ever
Same here, now I'm getting others hooked on it
I swear it's better the therapy 👌
That made me feel old😅 I started watching when I was 26... and that was in 2014
Haha I started watching when I was 23 in 2014 too haha
@@andyn5379 right lol
17:52 yes please take ur camera to erewhon and make a vlog with rhett and please bring vlogs back
“ i am walmart’s target audience” was one of the funniest things rhett has ever said
I CACKLED
Very North Cackalacka of him😂
As a Bentonville, AR native and resident… I was proud
Yes, because that's what we need right now: luxury grocery stores.
fr
If you watch the video they are saying it’s totally not worth it.
@@conormoncrieff5942 but the luxury grocery stores are still up..
Back in the day we call those luxury grocer stores whole foods.
this comment😂👌 too true...
I love how they started with loving walmart and ended with loving kroger.
and never loving erewhon
They always praise Kroger in these games, even if there ends up only being one thing they actually liked from there lol
I think Kroger pays them.
@@wildkeith Kroger definitely doesn’t pay them lol. They just make surprisingly good food for the price.
I think they're just used to Kroger usually being the winner and Link wasn't really paying attention to the fact that Walmart actually won this episode while Kroger did just fine overall.
$18 for a rotisserie chicken almost seems reasonable to me. Especially if you compare it to a $15 egg salad sandwich or a $21 bowl of soup.
The best chicken I ever had was a 26€ local organic free-range and all that one my mom cooked.
Compared to Costco’s $5 chicken it seems insane, but at least it feeds 4+ people
That is double what the prices for the grocery stores around where I live in Iowa tend to be around nine dollars
a fast food place in australia, red rooster, sells a whole rotisserie chicken for about 20 dollars if i ememebr right
well the soup was 32 oz so that's like 3 portions, $15 sandwich is just wild though
I want to see Rhett and Link do a tase taste of all Reese's products across all categories. It would definitely be their highest scoring episode of all time and theyd have a super hard time choosing a favorite
They all taste like Reese's. That'd be almost purely a texture test.
@Grabble Yeah you're right lol. Good thing I'm not one of the people working on their creative team haha.
@nicholaskraut1704 they did it, bro. Maybe you should be on the creative team 🤔
I have never heard of Erewhon despite living/working in LA, and wow, I will never shop there. I don't mind paying a slight price bump for convenience, but it's looking like everything is 2-3x as much as it should be.
"I'm not a fan of rotisserie chickens."
WHO SAYS THIS?!?!?!
I know these episodes aren’t super fast paced or exciting but they’re my favourites. I like naked foods, any taste test, comparisons. They’re mild but sometimes you need to cleanse your pallet
These are definitely my favorite types of episodes!!
Can you guys do a similar video like this but against the mythical chefs to see if their better at picking fancy food
I like that idea
I wanna see grocery store vs restaurant vs chefs
"I am walmart's target audience." MOOD
Would love to see a mythical kitchen episode on what the crew does with all the leftover food, especially the chicken
Walmart's picking up their game!! I'll have to start shopping there to be honest, my local market is getting way too expensive.
LOVE how Link ain't crazy about Rotisserie Chicken but he keeps on eating it!🐔🍗🤣🤣🤣❤️
Well, chicken is still chicken.
@@thenonexistinghero 🤭
So, Link keeps Rhett from eating, and Rhett keeps Link from sharp objects. 🌈 BALANCE🌈
They were very insistent that Kroger was great even tho Walmart constantly surprised them!
Walmart definitely benefits from the fact they don't have to go in the Walmart. And it might not be true anymore but when I went to Walmart as a kid they weren't very clean. It can be hard to get past those kinds of strong associations.
@@ceeceepg Depends entirely on the area, the walmarts I grew up with were pristine. But I've been in some where I fully understand where people get the bad view of walmart from.
12:04 Stevie, it says that you, like most people, enjoy exposing posers; in this case, overpriced food products.
Gentrification via grocery stores. That's kinda spooky.
🇺🇸
You two should do a gut check for reeces
Yea what could be more entertaining 😩
That would be fascinating because they have a strong preference for peanut butter flavored things, so what if it was just all peanut butter??? Lol.
@@annieboo0428 they've done peanut butter.
Yes but not Reeces
I would guess the Erehwon chicken is so small because it’s a no hormones / free range or some kind of heritage bird. More expensive tends to be smaller since it’s not given those growth hormones. No excuse for over cooking tho! Haha
My guess too. I knew the Erehwon chicken right away from the size.
@juddstjohn1487 You aren't bright, you are so slow that you let the environment and circumstances make you think things taste better because you are on vacation...
exactly. a higher-end quality chicken will be smaller, the bigger/roided up chicken will be the cheaper factory farm one
I started watching these guys when I was in middle school and now I'm 56 and they are still going just as strong!
😂
I don’t think that’s how math works? 🤔
Wtf
What??I think someone was using core math here 😒😒
nobody in this thread knows a joke when they see one 💀
Have they ever done a Sam's Club vs Costco?
Can I just say that I absolutely love the mini shopping baskets adorning today’s set!!!
So it’s just Trader Joe’s but for fancy people
Walmart just holding their own so well in this is impressive
Great value is for the most part underrated honestly, it got significantly better over the years now but people still bash it
Butt
Did Link just say he spent $18 on a jar of peanut butter?? WHAT!? that’s absurd 😅
15 dollars for an egg salad sandwich?! you can make a steak on the side with your egg salad sandwich at home for cheaper, and it'll even taste better
Wtf is Erewon?
I HOPE EVERYONE READING THIS HAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY. DO NOT GIVE UP.
$15 USD for an egg sandwich?
No way that place is staying in business.
Eggs are practically extinct here in America right now
That is exactly how they stay in business lol
Bet the same people who complain about minimum wage are the ones shopping there
it’s cali so🤷🏻♀️ prob the only place it’ll stay in business
You would be surprised what fools pay for just to say they have
I've been watching these guys since good morning chia Lincoln and they're still going as strong as ever :)
Same! Been starting every day with them for over ten years now, and wouldn't have it any other way!😁
how Rhett and Link haven't been approached by Kroger to be spokesmen for them after all these years is beyond me.
Link: this chicken is undercooked
also Link: Kroger got the best *chicken*
Thought the same thing lol
Good Mythical Morning Buddies!!
I've been watching GMM since season 2, but can't afford any of their website stuff where they share more content. Can one of the top tier Mythical Beasts answer the following question.
Does GMM have a giant table that they put all of the uneaten food from the show for any employee to pick at?
i would love to know too!
The energy of that "I am Wal-Mart's target audience" was inspiring and relatable
I'm cleaning my apartment for an inspection. Got R&L going to keep me happy while I do the work. Wish me luck, friends! I hope your day is going well ❤️
Good luck!!
@@raggedy._.andy311 I think I did well ❤️ thank you for the good vibes
do you still live at the apartment
I loved seeing Rhett say the Walmart and erewhon chickens tasted like the bagged chicken you get at Ralph’s (which is kroger), when the one they thought was the best WAS THE BAGGED CHICKEN FROM KROGER
Link hates food so much.
New Challenge: Can Rhett get through a taste test without using the word “flavor profile”
thats 2 words
There sure was a lot of (ish) talking about Walmart for it to have performed as well as it did 💀
Stevie, this is also peak entertainment for me... quality content my friends! *CLAPS*
The clapping at 13:35 was the most perfect comedic timing
Shoutout to the crew that decorated the table with lil shopping baskets that made my whole day 😊
Link eating the most useless part of the rotisserie chicken and trying to judge it is hilarious. Rhett is actually doing a taste test 😂
yessssssssssssss
You're weird.
Video idea: everyone ignores Link until he snaps 😂
Good Mythical Wednesday Morning everyone 🌈🍀❤️
Wow I shop at Stew Leonard’s and the chowder is $10 but you get a big container of it and it’s pretty damn good. It’s not fancy but it is a little pricey but the quality of food is higher tier.
Got to love Stews! Don’t forget, the animatronics make it worth it! 🐮
The cinnamon doughnuts are great!
@@Roy-G-Biv Don't get me started on those. The minute you step inside it's like the best smell in the world
@@jakeryan7373 great for the kids but the food for adults
@@jakeryan7373 animatronics???
So people are paying restaurant prices for grocery store food? Dope
Fancy restaurant prices at that!
This is me 🙋♀️ still waiting for the smelling bee.
Rhett gotta learn to shut up and listen to link sometimes he’s the reason the first 2 foods weren’t 100% right
Occasionally Link makes me upset.
I don't understand how Christie does it
I love these episodes and the gut checks, but for someone with a small stomach all I can think about during these episodes are how full and nauseous I would be at the end of them. I’d definitely need a few breaks throughout the taping lol
I don’t think I’ve ever been this early
Link asking, "Is it hawt? Is it real hawt?" CRACKS me up every time 🤣🤣 lots of love From New Zealand 🇳🇿 hahaha
Best series you got! Please do more. The is an infinite amount of stuff to try!
This Kroger employee feels very appreciated today ❤️😂
The idea that a luxury grocery store exists when a majority of us are struggling to afford regular freaking groceries is just so fitting for the dystopia that is America
Yeah. The $15 sandwich when the $3 Walmart sandwich is better is just so enlightening. I get my groceries at Dollar General. 🤷🏻♀️
Almost every time I get around to watching the actual video the thumbnail changes to a thumbnail that I don't like as much. I feel like I am giving them bad thumbnail data.
The attention to detail with the colors on the bowls only being colored and visible at the exact camera angle of the main shot? Incredible.
my theory is that Walmart was consistently the best for things that are meant to be affordable like egg salad or rotisserie chicken or clam chowder and the Richie rich places try to hard to make it fancy and it ends up not being as good
Only bad part of watching this early is no new videos till 24 hours
I’m not surprised the Kroger rotisserie chicken was the best, as they have perhaps the most amazing chicken tenders in the whole wide world, in a surprising turn of events.
Fresh? Frozen? Fried?
Love you both so much! I'm 1976 Era, so I can totally relate to you boys😉Kroger brand is pretty awesome to me.
Thank you for your videos, yall really hit home and I appreciate everything you n your crew been doin for the past decade.
You forgot about that Costco Rotisserie chicken.
I feel like they easily could have gotten every single one right but knew it wouldn't have been good TH-cam to get an A+
i've only heard of Erewhon because of how often Smosh cast roasts Olivia for spending $20 on a cup of coffee everyday
Can confirm that Krogers rotisserie chicken is DELICIOUS 😋 I usually buy one chicken a week to use for various recipes or sometimes you can get containers of it preshredded which of course makes life alot easier lol and a great snack 🤤
Use the bones to make broth too 🤤
I love Campbells clan
Chowder but will too try something new. Only place we have around is Walmart . No Kroger or the other store
I need “I am Walmart’s Target Audience” merch lololol
Did Rhett briefly turn into Krusty the Clown at 1:24?
Thank you Rhett and Link and the whole mythical crew that put so much time and effort into making these daily episodes! They bring such happiness to my life and I’ve been watching for years (a big fan since 2016) I love the show and I wish the best for everyone who is a part of making these episodes daily ! Lots of love from the UK! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good morning fam
Publix has the best deli. Kroger never disappoints and well Wal-Mart is Wal-Mart lol its always a toss up depending on your area
Good mythical day, its 13:00 👋🏽
6:34 here on the east coast of the US
I never noticed how much Rhett and Link use extremely awkward body language to fill gaps while Stevie is talking. It's just plain weird sometimes lmao.
this should have been a blindfolded game
Why? They still would have lost, nothing would really change.
100% plus it's way more funny!
GOOOOOOOD MYTHICAL MORNINGGGGGGGG BEASTIESSSSSSSSSSS
And I thought Whole Foods was pricey 😂
Those spoons for the clam chowder look way too small. Idk if it's the camera angle or something, but they can barely pick up anything in the chowder. I swear at least link has a teaspoon
I actually love you guys!!! Best part of my day!
I'm a fan of Kroger...their own brand and Private Selection items are pretty darn good! Their shells and cheese and certain sauces are alright by me! And private selection frozen pizza is great too😊
I’m actually impressed with Walmart Brand Foods in general 😎👍
Isn't a smaller chicken actually better because it means it wasn't pumped up full of antibiotics and who knows what else?
Good mythical morning from Buies Creek, NC
Erewhon is literally NOWHERE just jumbled...🤔🤣
All groceries hella expensive :( good morning everyone!
