This is a Rooster Teeth production.
Welcome to Face Jam, the show where we try every new fast food creation under the sun.
It's always fun to let you know if you need it, you probably do.
Thanks to Honey and Upstart for making this show possible.
I am your host, your personal host, the host of hosts, Michael Jones, alongside my co-hosty
host, coast, Jordan Sweers.
Jordan, how are you?
Different after today, I can tell you that.
Today, we have been transformed.
Last episode, I didn't want us to talk about the food too early.
Wow.
Uh-huh.
But this time, let's fucking get into it.
What?
We were saying as we were driving, we're like, we should have fucking recorded this.
Yeah, we just need to go beat by beat about what just happened.
And it doesn't surprise me that he says that.
Yeah, no kidding.
Because once again, as I've said- It's not because I forgot
to do a haiku. As I've said before-
What the fuck?
As I've said before, but could not
have been truer today, somehow
I'm the most normal, level-headed
one here because I watched
these three humans deteriorate
inside of an Applebee's
restaurant. There were screams.
We had fun. We were having fun. There were screams. We had fun.
We were having fun. There were slight convulsions.
I bumped my head.
I had injuries.
You gave yourself a concussion.
I think I'm concussed.
Things being thrown back and forth.
Has this room always been purple?
Yes.
Jeez.
That's right.
So what are we eating?
Today, the big return.
We're reviewing Applebee's Cheetos boneless wings
and Cheetos cheese
bites and spicy
version right right right right
so four things on the docks
right off the bat my question
is what do you think the cheese bites taste like
we'll wait dude
we'll wait
okay
today Jordan he'd get it We'll wait, dude. We'll wait, okay? God.
Today, Jordan would be like, he would get it from early season Jordan. I will say, I listened to our last Applebee's episode, which we'll learn more about in the
facts section.
That was the last episode where Nick did not dine with us.
The golden days.
We decided maybe we should think about
possibly inviting him.
The world changed after that.
In that episode,
Jordan is reviewing the food,
but then it's
all the, well,
every time I got another one,
the taste changed.
That was the drink. The problem was with the drink
where it was very weak at first.
Here's the thing.
He's trying to save face.
Basically, that would not happen now.
Correct.
He would not say that.
Correct.
He would punish them for the shape of the cup or something.
Or conversely, reward them for an ergonomically shaped cup.
For the very cool shape of the cup.
True.
True.
Don't be unfair.
I'm just saying.
I've seen some pretty good cups.
All right.
So it's Jordan then and Jordan now.
I mean, really just, I think it would be a fight.
I think it would be.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I'm very curious to see what this applebee's trip
has in store it's not about the destination it's about the journey this one was insane start to
finish and and to further not only was it a journey we almost always go get the food yeah
um but this is another one of the sit downs so we went So we went there. I haven't done a sit-down in a minute. It has been a bit. I think, was Friday's the last one?
Big top!
Maybe there was one after? No, no, no, no.
It was, no, because we were going to eat
at Friday's, but then
we decided that, oh no, I'll just pick up the
food. And then we ended up not eating
at Friday's. Oh, right.
Did we go to the Red Robin? Oh, the Red
Robin was that. That was the last one.
Yep. IHOP.
IHOP? IHOP.
So there's a lot. There's like three
episodes ago. There's not only do we miss a lot, but I
thought of one that didn't happen.
Which has been occurring
a lot. Wow, our first
three-peat. What?
This is it. No! Oh, man.
But to
further that,
they're all closed. They're all closed.
They're all closed.
So we had to drive 20 minutes to get there.
This is every step of the way a journey.
The one that we went to first was so close to us.
It was perfect.
It was down the street from us.
And now it's gone forever.
It's some seafood joint or something.
Yep.
And so we could not go there.
And then it was like,
well, we can go south
and sit in traffic.
Yeah.
Well, okay.
No, well, let's look.
And it's not just south.
It was south like west.
Yeah.
It was like we had to go
on like two different.
It's like, well, I guess we'll go to
not the next city north,
but the next city after that.
But the next next city
is only a little bit further than the next city.
In order to eat at Applebee's.
To eat not just Applebee's, but the Cheetos, boneless wings, and Cheetos cheese bites.
We went there for them.
Sorry, Flaming Hot.
We had a lot of conversation on the way up there.
I said, hey, so here's what we're getting.
We have the regular version and the spicy version. so here's what we're getting we have the regular
version and the spicy version of flaming hot both right he was getting there i think sorry
he could just start there flaming hot version don't get shook though yeah jordan look i know
it's difficult the branding was very important to jordan he said and even the way he said it i
didn't understand because he said hot or like spicy or flaming hot.
Yeah, because you just said spicy.
I was like, well, is it spicy or is it flaming hot?
I also felt like he looked at you and went, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then I said, wait, is there two levels?
Like I thought there was a spice and he went, well, no, that's just what it's called.
It's the branding is very important to him, I guess.
Yeah.
When you're talking about Cheetos, yeah.
You gotta make it make sense. Hey, don't fuck around. I guess. When you're talking about Cheetos, yeah. You gotta make it make sense.
Hey, don't fuck around.
I guess.
As Jordan from day one on this podcast
is very concerned about these kind of things.
Just get it right.
Cup shapes and...
Get it right.
You know, who's paying for what
and where he went for middle school graduation
and the food he ate after his grandma died.
I really like it a lot.
I like it a lot. Again,
from someone who was outraged
about having factors that weren't the food.
You then took us down memory lane and I'll never
let go of it.
But now you're better. Yeah. We did it.
Yeah. Everyone. I'm cured.
Jordan's cured.
I don't even
know where to begin with this place.
I don't even know.
So the last time we went to Applebee's, it was the 25 cent wings.
That was a long ass time.
It was.
It was like 2015, right?
Something like that.
Yeah, 2015.
He really did.
In the midst of Bernie's first campaign.
He really like hit his fucking head.
He hit his head.
Yeah.
He's different now.
No, it's the particles.
The tachyon particles.
Jesus Christ. This is a... He was saying that at the restaurant. It was weird. and head yeah he's different no it's the it's the particles the tachyon particles jesus christ
this is uh he was saying that it was really hit his head and then he kept saying it with his eyes
rolling back uh so that's what we went to in applebee's that we just walked into and went
nothing has changed it was far to get there and it looked exactly like literally every applebee's you've ever been to
in your life except it said ut i feel like the same two people who were there when we went
for the first applebee's episode were also there this one they also had a drive yeah the same the
same two people as in both the employee and the the bartender they both looked at each other and
said guess we're moving 20 minutes north.
Gotta go up north.
The guy drinking a beer and an energy drink
at the same time.
Well, yeah, he's gotta go back to his construction job.
That's what you do.
Liquid lunch.
That's right.
Gotta even out.
So that was...
We have to...
We can't...
I mean, where do we start?
I don't know.
I mean...
How far do we get into this? Because it's so insane. I mean, we do a little? I don't know. I mean. How far do we get into this?
Because it's so insane.
I mean, we do a little and then come back.
Okay.
I don't even know.
Let's start everything before we got the food.
How's that?
That'll be what.
Hey, close your eyes.
We walk through the door.
Right.
It's fucking empty.
Empty.
Absolutely empty.
Ghost town.
Also, as we're walking up, Eric says, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't even have it here.
Like, we drove all this way for nothing.
But we walked in.
Right next to it.
Life-size cutout of Chester Cheeto.
Greeted by Chester himself.
He's loving it.
Took a picture.
You can go to atfacejampod.
You can see that picture.
And then just know that.
If they posted it.
Yeah, we'll see if our social team gets to it.
I don't know.
Who does the voice for Chester Cheeto?
In my head now, it sounds like.
No. Doesn't sound like Violent Femmes. That's the bandicoot. Your don't know. Who does the voice for Chester Cheeto? In my head now, it sounds like... It doesn't sound like Violent Femmes.
It's the bandicoot.
Your eyes lit up just now.
I love it. I listened to that song on the way
over here just to get in the spirit.
There were so many people
that put that song over a Crash Bandicoot
level and I'm like, that's exactly what that
is. Oh, man.
In my head now, the voice is Stanley Tucci.
I don't think that's who it is, but-
Isn't he dangerously cheesy?
Dangerously cheesy.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Am I wrong?
No, no, you're right.
It's Stanley Tucci.
Sure.
Before he died.
So there's a life-size cutout.
There's the rhino and the Cheeto.
Yeah.
And then we take the picture, and then the server just walks up,
and she's like, what did I just walk into?
And it's like, there's no one here.
Don't even.
What are you?
You walked into your job, I assume.
She sat us.
Yeah, but she said it a little playfully.
Yeah, she was like, uh-oh.
I was like, we're having fun.
Look at these couple of crazy guys.
And I said something like, we're here for the Cheetos.
Which became a running theme
because we said it a lot. We said it
so many times. We were very
clear. Taking pictures. Yeah. Saying that
we're here for the Cheetos. Holding it up and showing
and just going, Cheetos, Cheetos.
Look at the Cheetos. We want them.
We see. We look at
what we're going to have. We find out there's a
Mountain Dew flavor.
Michael is going to get it. Blue it is not a mountain dew flavor of wing no it was very
confusingly said that i will i will concede and say for the first time ever i was wrong
and i could have been more clear whoa and he and he accepted no he accepted it in the moment too
because he went on great detail about what we were going to eat.
And it was very much like, this shit on chicken wings, chicken wing.
And we're like, oh.
And then he went, and they have some kind of Mountain Dew thing.
They have a Mountain Dew flavor.
And you and I, Jordan and I looked at each other and went, what the fuck?
Why aren't we eating that?
And he's like, yeah, they have it, but we're not supposed to eat it.
And we're like, that sounds insane.
Why would we not eat that?
And he was like, I don't know, because cuz we were doing the other thing and we just kept
going
Mountain wings
Mountain Dew mountain is like Mountain Dew
There's like a Mountain Dew flavor and he just kept saying it and then we kept going. What are you talking about?
And then I finally went
Mountain Dew the drink
Like a liquid and he went yeah, oh now I see yeah
Absolutely conceded anyway. Yeah, because if there were Mountain Dew wings, I would have been fucking flipping
out.
There were not.
There were not Mountain Dew wings.
No, there was just a flavor of Mountain Dew, the drink that Michael got.
When the waitress went to take our order, which is right away because there's no one
else to wait on.
She started writing everything down and I'm just going through the order.
Yeah.
Eric's like looking at the menu and I'm going just reading four orders of this.
Four orders.
I'm watching her.
She starts writing, stops, then starts scribbling.
Yep.
And then it was like kind of hits the mat.
I was like, Eric, I think you need to stop.
So she goes, I need to get another pen.
She walks away.
She comes back.
Go.
Okay.
Four orders of this.
So it's four orders of the Cheetos regular flavor wings.
Got it.
Bear with us, audience.
Four orders of the Flamin' Hot flavor boneless wings.
And then we did two orders of the Flamin' Hot cheese bites
and two orders of the original Cheetos cheese bites.
So four orders of wings.
Yeah.
Cheeto. Uh-huh. Four orders of wings. Flamin' Hot. Yes So four orders of wings. Yeah. Cheeto.
Uh-huh.
Four orders of wings.
Flamin' hot.
Yes.
Eight orders of wings.
Correct.
Too many.
I said too many.
No.
Two orders of Flamin' cheese bites.
Yep.
Two orders of Cheeto cheese bites.
Yeah.
Four total.
Correct.
That is it.
Presumably she wrote this all down.
To be fair, it's a lot of crap.
Yeah.
But very simple.
Oh, especially when you write it all down.
And they had a big ass, like, unfoldable menu for it.
It was not this little, like, boop.
It was the main attraction that they had.
Chester at the front door.
Cheeto, Cheeto, Cheeto.
This was not a, I don't know what that is.
Stanley Tucci was there.
Stanley Tucci himself, as a bird, was there telling you to order it.
She takes her order, goes, okay, leaves.
Comes back with presumably a manager.
Would you say that she was a manager?
She looked like a manager.
Okay.
A manager or a friend?
Yeah.
I don't know.
She may have phoned a friend.
She has to wear a uniform to hang out.
It could have been a woman in Applebee's cosplay.
I cannot confirm that she was a man.
I'll tell you, too.
Also, before she even left and came back with a friend, she walked away.
We all looked at each other and said, what do you think we'll get?
Yes, 100%.
Because, I mean, the look of just pure bewilderment.
Yeah, yeah.
It was on her face.
And it was like, okay.
And then she left.
And so she comes back with her friend who's dressed as an Applebee's employee also.
I would say, yeah, that's a good way to describe both of them.
Both of them were dressed as employees.
Just want to confirm, you guys want four orders of the Flamin' Hot Boneless Wings.
Right.
And then we said, yeah.
And then I think Michael went, and four orders of the regular
Cheetos boneless wings
the woman who was dressed as
an Applebee's employee went
alright yeah
it was both I didn't know that
this is new information and
yeah
hell yeah
so we got that
so now we're going and We got that. Okay, so now we're going.
Back on track.
And I'll even tell you this, though.
We're back on track.
She walked away, and my first thought was,
she's coming to make sure we want eight orders.
That actually kind of makes sense.
It's like when you've got to break 100,
the manager has to come over and do it.
Clearly learned she didn't know about the other four.
My next thought was then,
did she have to check that four people
made four food orders?
I don't even understand what,
just to make sure,
you're willing to spend over $30?
There are four of you.
I don't understand why she was there.
We all looked at each other
and looked at Michael
and nodded knowingly like,
good, we will receive this.
Minutes,
minutes might be a strong word because minute might have passed.
It all happened very quickly, I'll tell you.
Because of the way this food is, I assume, manufactured
and the fact that no one was there, it all happened very fast.
A guy comes over.
This is the most we talked about a restaurant experience before.
It just didn't stop.
It didn't stop.
A guy walks over. It really didn't stop. It didn't stop. A guy walks over.
It really didn't.
We were trying to talk about stuff.
Start to finish.
And it was just people showing up.
We presume the guy who came over next is the cook?
Someone in the kitchen.
Yeah.
For sure.
He walked over and he's like, guys, bad news.
I don't have any of the original Cheetos flavor.
I only have Flamin' Hot.
And we went, oh, man,
can we just get six orders of the Flamin' Hot instead
so that way we have like a bunch of food.
And he said, yeah.
Now, let me tell you about all my supply chain issues.
And then sat down, not in a seat,
but on a table.
And I went, oh oh I thought this was over
and he sat down
and he's like
let me tell you
it had only just begun
he wanted to go
through step by step
so
the truck comes on
Monday
the truck just came
and
they didn't deliver
the regular ones
the first time
I wanted to be the first one
to try the regular
he was excited about it
he was all about it
excited about it
because
I don't know if you knew this or not, they've actually
had the flaming version before.
I had no idea. I didn't know, but
they've never had the regular Cheeto.
You're not in the industry. And that's what he's
excited about, and the truck didn't have any.
So now, he has to wait for
the truck. It gets here on Saturday.
To see if he can get the original
Cheeto. now this reminded him
of the time where I don't know
if you know this but one of the most popular
menu items at Applebee's is the spinach dip
the artichoke spinach dip
and one time they didn't have it for a week
and people were angry
the kerfuffle that went on with the
customer coming in
day in and day out to that Applebee's
they kept going better luck tomorrow and went the spinach dip with the customer coming in day in and day out to that Applebee's,
they kept going, better luck tomorrow.
And with the spinach dip.
And it was us. And we just kept going, yeah, uh-huh.
It is just how fast can we get this done so you can go back and finish cooking our food?
Well, that's the double whammy, right?
It was the classic, like, someone's talking to you and you're just trying to make it end, right?
But be nice because you're also still sitting there.
But added with the unusual, and also you're making my food.
Why are you?
Go, if you're here.
Who's making my food?
I think that, did I hear the Cheeto dust back there?
So that's, those are all the things that preceded
us actually receiving
our food. And it didn't
stop there. No, so we'll have to get into
the food when we get into the food.
We'll take a slight break here.
Welcome, this is a podcast
where we talk about the fucking food.
When you tell your friends that it's a podcast about
food but not really about food, don't recommend
this episode.
This is the one that I'm about.
We don't have any celebrity
teeth facts. Where's the timer?
Oh no!
Did we just start? An hour in?
I have a friend
who listens to the show.
Tacky on particles.
A guy I know, Jason, who reached out to me and he just
went like, hey, the Jessica Simpson's teeth thing
like, not okay. He was, because I think other Jason, who reached out to me and he just went like, hey, the Jessica Simpson's teeth thing like, not okay. Like,
he was, because I think like
other people, they were trying
to eat while listening
to this. Oh, I mentioned that too as we were
talking about it. And he just went,
fuck this. Don't blame
us, blame Jessica Simpson. Yeah, it wasn't
us, geez. God. And blame
the less than two month old article.
Yeah, no kidding. And anyway. She's still talking about it. It's crazy. And now it's than two month old article. Yeah. No kidding.
And anyway, she's still talking about
it.
It's crazy.
Still talking.
Now it's time for
Jordan's haiku.
She's getting more
coverage than Chris
Christie.
Why do they keep
interviewing her about
her teeth?
Tell me more about
Beto.
Why are you still
talking to Jessica
Simpson about her
teeth?
Our nation's future
is at stake here!
Yeah, but she's got these teeth.
And now it's time for the facts.
What?
What happened to the haiku?
I told you I didn't write one.
Yeah, but one I thought was a joke.
You could do...
You know what you could do?
You had so much time to come up with one.
You could do a flyku.
Wow.
Has he ever done that before?
I could read...
Yeah, that's why I had a name for it.
I know.
Oh, okay.
I was trying to give him more time.
I was vamping. Let's see here. Because he won't do it bad. He just won name for it. I know. Oh, okay. I was trying to give him more time. I was vamping.
Let's see here.
Because he won't do it bad.
He just won't do it.
That's the problem.
Papa John's?
Is that what we ate?
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
We ate Applebee's.
This one is so deserving of one.
Yeah, this one deserves a haiku.
Do you want us to come back later?
Read a couple facts.
All right.
We'll give you this one time.
Yep.
Because this is a weird episode.
This is very bizarre.
This is a weird episode where we're focusing on the restaurant the one time. Yep. Because this is a weird episode. This is very bizarre. This is a weird episode where we're focusing on the restaurant
the whole time.
Alright.
On to the Applebee's facts.
Our previous Applebee's episode
was released November 26th
2019.
So
long ago. Where we ate the 25
cent wings and $1 vodka cranberry
lemonade, it received an average score of 74.
He gave it a 50?
You gave it a 98.
That makes sense. That's a real early episode.
I remember them being very
neutral.
Haiku. Write your haiku.
So you can't
multitask. And walk and chew gum at the same
time.
How many syllables is in
tachyon particle?
Probably too many to be in a haiku.
Fuck.
When the average score was 74,
you yelled out, that's as many as three wings.
The price could not be beat.
Incredible. Incredible wings. Wow. The price could not be beat. Incredible.
Incredible.
Incredible value.
Yeah, incredible value.
Okay.
Okay, here we go.
Fact two.
Applebee's and Chili's are the same place.
There's nothing else to this fact.
It is simply a fact.
Thank you.
So many people disagree.
All of them wrong.
I don't even it's funny cause
it's come up so many times
this conversation and I'm sure
I weighed in on it here and there
regardless of the history
like whatever I say now people go
no you say what I just don't
care I don't give a shit I don't fucking
care I don't fucking care
I don't care what you think I don't care who cares I don't care. I don't give a shit. I don't fucking care. I don't fucking care. This has been... I don't care what you think.
I don't care.
Who cares?
I don't care what the fuck...
Who comments on it.
Well, Taric...
I don't give a shit.
Shut up.
Go inside a Sonic.
Just like, I don't give a shit.
This has been a fight with my wife for a very long time.
And I write the facts, so it's a fact.
Actually, this is a great time to tell you,
we're taking out Barbara's facts right now. And I write the facts, so it's a fact. Actually, this is a great time to tell you,
we're taking out Barbara's facts right now.
All right, fact number three.
Let's stop fucking around.
The largest and busiest Applebee's locations are both in New York.
So if you're looking for an authentic New York experience,
we recommend Applebee's.
Tell them Face Jam sent you,
and that we're walking over here nailed it
classic a little new york little east coast michael coming out you hear that that's what
we're walking over here that's like coffee yeah we're walking did you hear how his accent his
natural accent came out it was just his voice just moved up to his nose. It was weird. We're walking over here.
Do you have a haiku yet?
You've been saying that a lot, too.
Were you posting that because you were typing
this, or did you type this because you were posting it?
I think I landed on this, and I went,
oh, that's fun. I saw you yesterday saying,
I'm walking here.
No, that came...
This happened this morning.
Right, but I'm saying it was recently in your brain, so you probably just said,
I said that thing yesterday, now I'll put it in the facts.
And it made me laugh, and I went, oh, that's fun.
That's all.
That's all I'm saying.
On Veterans Day, veterans eat for free.
We are not veterans, but one of us is not above stealing valor in order to eat for free.
Which of us would do this and is also into
January 6 stuff
I'm just asking the question
let me tell you this prison sentences are starting to roll out.
Yeah, are you worried that one guy got 41 months?
Are you concerned?
He was like the second guy to get 40 months.
Damn, dude.
How do you feel?
Are you shaking your boots?
I got dirt on somebody stealing valor at a shopping mall parking lot.
Let me see what it says. shopping mall parking lot. Saluting in front.
Salute the troops.
Let me see what it says.
It's like veteran parking
or some shit. It's a picture of Eric
in front of parking reserved for
military veterans. And Eric just saluting.
Saluting it. I'm saluting our troops.
You're saluting in front of it.
And also in small text
underneath it says, thank you for your service.
Oh my god.
Oh man.
No American flags there though, so really are they
patriots? I really hope you finish
this because I'm on to the last part.
Do you have a haiku yet? The original theme
for Applebee's was drugstore.
Which we
covered in our previous episode,
but we at Face Jam believe they should revive
this theme and become the leading healthcare provider in the United States.
Pick up your prescription and some mozzarella sticks.
Fuck CVS.
Hell yeah.
That would be tight.
Imagine getting these, imagine you have a prescription to pick up and you got these
Cheeto wings.
You could probably just have them put your meds in the food.
Wow, like a dog?
Like a dog.
What?
Unlike a dog, you know.
Wow, where's my pill?
Yeah, you know, but you're still,
you don't feel betrayed.
You just, yeah, put it right in.
Yeah.
Spencer?
Mozzarella sticks for Spencer?
Yeah, you had the heart medication, right?
Yeah.
Okay, yep, this is your order up.
That's, I wonder.
You say original theme.
Wait, did you say heart medication or heartworm medication?
Oh, no.
Oh, no, Spencer, no!
Yeah, the original theme.
So it was like a themed restaurant.
Yeah.
As a drugstore?
Yeah, remember it was like TJ Applebee's.
No, I wasn't there.
Where were you?
Well, this guy wasn't. Yeah, where were you? I wasn't at the TJ Applebee's. No, I wasn't there. Where were you? Well, this guy wasn't.
Yeah, where were you?
I wasn't at the original Applebee's, Eric.
No, no.
The last episode, we talk about it.
We talk about-
No, I stand by.
He wasn't there.
You are a different person.
These tagging our verticals are fucked here.
Fucking crazy.
Yeah, I remember it was like TJ Applebee's elixirs and edibles.
So if we talked about this, why is it in the fax again?
Because it's Eric.
Because I want them.
I thought about reviving it and having them be the leading healthcare provider.
Also, it was just like, I reuse this.
He re-listened to the episode this morning.
Yeah.
And typed out a transcript.
This is good.
This is so good.
Whoa, this guy's funny.
Damn, this is a bunch of fucking slam dunks in this one.
I hope this show's still going.
Well, there was no haiku in that one, so here's one for Applebee's.
Okay.
Supply chain probs.
Flamin' hot, no regular.
Mystery sauce curse.
Mystery sauce curse.
That's a good one.
That was a mystery sauce curse.
You're talking about the-
We'll get to the mystery sauce. Oh, yeah. No kidding. The Bloomin' Onion a good one. That was a mystery sauce curse talking about the we'll get to the mysteries. Oh, yeah
Security is compromised
Oh my god, I mean we're back to spitting silly, but I think we just continue right
Then let us food started to arrive.
I think we got to fire off
into like telling people
what the food is.
This is like Prince's Bride.
Oh, that's important.
Yeah, Jordan, you should like.
Sure.
All right.
Here's Cheetos boneless wings.
We're just going to blast through these.
You got it.
We're going to blast.
Cheetos boneless wings
feature crispy breaded boneless wings
coated in crunchy Cheetos crumbles
and tossed in your choice of
original Cheetos wing sauce or Cheetos flaming hot wing sauce.
Okay.
Spicy version.
The cheese bites are Cheetos.
Cheese bites feature fried cheese bites.
I did I say cheese bites enough?
I knew you were going to like this one.
Cheese bites coated in crunchy Cheetos crumbles. Toasted in your choice.
It's the same fucking thing.
It's the same fucking thing.
Press material. Press material.
Quote.
I hate it already.
I knew when I got it, I knew that you were going to like, oh my God, this is great.
I'm going to read it like Stanley Tucci.
The unique pairing of Cheetos with fan favorites like wings and cheese bites is a match made in cheesy heaven.
And we can't wait for all of our guests to have a bite, said Stanley Tucci, chief marketing officer at Applebee's.
With wings being one of our most popular meals among guests, we know this exclusive menu sprinkled in Cheetos dust will be a huge hit.
They called it Cheetos dust.
I love it.
I suggest pairing it with our new, all caps, Mountain Dew.
Dark berry bash for the perfect combo.
He did that.
Cheetos.
Registered trademark.
Cheetle?
What?
What the fuck is Cheetle? Don Cheetle?
I don't know dude.
Cheetle, registered trademark
and Flamin' Hot, registered trademark
are registered trademarks of
North America Inc. copyright
This is in the press material?
The fucking trademark
This trademark and trademark
and trademarks are trademarks.
What the fuck is Cheeto?
Is that like the parent company you know who's thing you know it's not his typo
That's true. It's straight-up copy-paste. Yeah, also the the marketing officers name is Joel Yashinsky
I wanted to come back to that because that's a cool name. Yeah
Nick is doing Cheetle research.
Interesting.
Don Cheetle.
I'll also say getting the food.
Applebee's is far now.
Yeah.
Because there's not a close one.
It's terrible.
Cheetos dust now has an official name.
What?
The Cheetle.
The Cheetle?
The dust?
The dust is called Cheetle.
But then you refer to it as a thee?
I don't know. It's just what the headline
said that Nick just showed me. Can I get
the Cheetle on my food?
Sir, we don't do that here.
The term you're looking for is
Cheetle. Cheetle is now defined as
that orange and red dust symbolic
of true Cheetos fandom
according to a news release from
Frito-Lay and spokesman Chester Cheetah
Also known as Stanley
When you were gonna say the name I really thought you were gonna say Joel
I was with you I'm like 100% it's Joel and then you hit me with Chester and I feel fucked up Oh no!
Oh! The Cheetle!
We should get more Cheetle on this
Cheetle is a horrible word
Hey let me lick that Cheetle off your fingers
Well our food was-
Why did it need a name?!
It was covered in Cheetle
It's just called Cheetos dust!
Well some of it was covered in Cheetle
Oh my god
Oh fuck Some of it was covered in Cheetle. Oh, my God. Oh, fuck.
So, we get the food.
So, then the food shows up.
We get...
We ordered six.
We got five.
we get,
we ordered six.
We got five.
We got five orders of flaming hot Cheeto covered wings.
They are sat down in front of us and we go,
wow,
this is crazy. In a red display.
It's just,
the presentation was definitely lacking.
It was plate with Cheetos on it.
Michael just kept talking about how it looks like a
dystopian future where they go, do you want yellow
or red? Red!
It was like something out of Demolition Man.
Or you say yellow, and
they say, too bad, no yellow today.
Here's supply chain delay.
Red! I really
wanted yellow, because we've had red for a
long time. Eat the red and drink the blue!
The blue drink! And and drink the blue. You got your blue drink.
And it was fucking blue.
It was so blue.
It was purple, but it wasn't purple.
It was just that blue.
Oh, man. We
look at these wings.
There are ten on a plate.
I feel like I smelled them first before I saw them.
You kept saying that. I found the smell to be quite pungent
there are 10 on a plate and there is
so much not even just Cheetle
crushed up Cheetos
yeah just like everywhere
word of the day calendar
they are everywhere
Jordan just goes it looks like it's fucking garnish
cause it's just piled in the middle
right in the middle is just a bunch of it that they've dumped on it so we get five and we're about to dig in and michael goes we got five
not even a minute she comes over with our six there's no fucking room she sets it all right
and then she goes great anything else dude again like the food came out before the cheese
bites
is that what they're called
cheetos cheese bites
I tuned it out
it's not a you thing it's a cheetos cheese bites
it's called semantic satiation
so you get the clear
the server
has completed their task and I'm
leaving now unless you stop me, Tone.
And she goes, anything
else? And I go, yeah, the
cheese. The Cheetos
cheese bites. You started saying
cheese like you would know what she was
talking about. I literally, I didn't even say Cheetos. I did
say, I was like, the cheese.
And she didn't interrupt me and I just went
things, the cheese
things. And she just stared at me, and I'm like, yep.
We ordered it, and it was, oh, right.
It was just like, uh.
Oh, yeah, those are, uh.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, those are, uh.
Yeah, okay, yeah.
Sure.
Those are coming right out.
Sure.
Left.
And then we all went, there she goes to have it.
To go make it now.
Then.
Because she came back.
Dude, again, another minute. again another minute yep she comes back and
she goes so do you you want you want the cheese bites or the cheese sticks uh-huh and we said the
cheetos and i was like to the cheeto the cheeto thing cheetos the cheese bites the ones with the
cheetos it's let me tell you right now just the flaming hot you guys don't have the yeah
you don't need to send them out i don't you guys don't have the regular guy in the kitchen.
You don't need to send him out again.
I don't know if you talk to the kitchen, but we do.
We're on a first name basis.
Dude, I wasn't going to be surprised if the guy came out again to tell us.
Just because he's like, anyway, well, I'm out of here.
So then she's like, believe it or not, it's the same dust.
Oh, Cheetos cheese bites.
Yep.
Got it. And off she goes problem and i mean we
we had lost it at this point oh because we had already taken a bite of our food at that point
so we all went oh no the food itself is maybe the crunchiest food i've ever eaten that isn't like an apple.
And you don't have a good history with apples. No, no.
Hopefully this doesn't make you sick.
I'm definitely feeling weird.
The breading is
so thick.
And this is not
how the 25 cent wings look.
Yeah.
They're totally different.
These were covered. They're totally different. Yeah.
These were covered.
They're red and brown and then covered and crushed up stale Cheetos,
which Nick just started going,
well, if they don't have Cheetos,
why don't they just go,
we should just go get Cheetos.
Just go get Cheetos and then make,
and then you just make these.
Go to Walmart.
Yeah.
Just go to the Cheetos.
He saw fucking Sam's as we were leaving.
And he's like, just buy them wholesale at the Sam's.
There they have Cheetos there. I definitely know they have Cheetos there.
It's like, all right. What I mean, it's not hot.
It's not doesn't taste like I would say it's flaming hot as much as flaming Cheetos are. I don't even think it's that Flamin' Hot.
I don't think at all.
You guys are getting dangerously close to reviewing the food. Not reviewing.
No.
Just talking about.
Very.
No.
First bite.
So.
What?
Michael gets his drink.
And it's the bluest thing we've ever seen.
Right.
Ends up later with a refill.
Oh, she comes back with it.
And I was just like, well, I definitely didn't ask for that.
Shell shocked. Yeah. So then we all had our straws. And we all had a sip. She puts she comes back with it, and I was just like, well, I definitely didn't ask for that. Shell-shocked.
Yeah.
So then we all had our straws, and we all had a sip.
She puts them down and walks away, and I go,
who's drinking this?
I'm not drinking this.
So we all had a sip of it, so we all had the Mountain Dew as well.
It's melted Popsicle in flavor.
And then she returns with our cheese bites.
Yay.
We thought.
I mean, she did.
She sets them down. I mean mean i saw it coming yeah oh
sorry right yeah and i'm just going she returns with our cheese bites they are just the cheese
bites no cheetle anyway no not a not a cheetle or a cheeto to be seen that's where the yellow
comes into the story not a a cheetle. They are
very yellow. She puts them down and it was so
past the point. We just went, yep,
there they are.
There they are. You need anything else?
We'll say, best thing we ate.
Oh, hey. Tipped her
20%.
She sets it down. We eat the cheese.
I pick one up.
I dip it in the sauce.
Nobody was really paying attention. We eat the cheese. I pick one up. I dip it in the sauce. Nobody was really paying attention.
We were like...
Maybe it was like a horror
strategy looking...
It looks like a Chipotle mayo.
That kind of color.
Because that's what I thought it was going to taste
like.
Michael said I jumped like...
He didn't just jump. He took a bite and the way he
squirmed was like it was like a bug was in his pants you were trying to get away from it it was
he climbed up the back of the booth you were standing on i was fucking floored by the flavor
i was just so confused i was like what's wrong with Eric? I could not believe what I was tasting.
None of it made sense.
It was like taking a bite
of an apple and it tasted like steak.
It was fucking crazy.
We recorded
Michael having it. Well, then Jordan had it.
And you had a similar
not as exaggerated reaction.
Yeah, I mean, if Eric
hadn't told me it was the sauce,
and I went for it, I probably would have reacted the same way.
I would have been like, what the fuck?
We had the heads up.
We had the heads up.
So then before I tried it, I was like, record it.
Record me trying this.
And so we have a video that won't get posted at Face Jam Pod.
I'll see if they can get it posted.
Maybe the internal news.
That's good stuff.
This is my genuine reaction to the sauce.
Again, knowing, according to Eric and Jordan, it was fucking weird.
And you were not wrong.
No.
It was like, why?
What?
The weirdest thing I've ever tasted.
Ever tasted, period.
And it's like, why is this coming with the non-cheat old cheese bite?
What the fuck?
How does this pair with this at all?
We have been trying to figure out what the flavor is since we tried it and still can't land on it.
I need to analyze it.
Jordan kept talking about doing experiments.
Yeah, putting it under a microscope, Jordan kept saying.
Tachyon particles.
He kept saying tachyon particles and he had little slides of glass.
Well, it's because at that point, we were noticing the music that was playing.
And at one point, this weird country song was playing.
Oh, it ended.
It stopped and then went back to the middle of it and started playing again.
But they liked that part.
And we were like, did somebody hit like 30 seconds back on it?
They really liked that part, dude.
And then I was like, these aren't Cheetos dust.
They're tachyon particles.
We were flowing through time.
We really were flowing through time.
Things were different.
It was so weird.
We gave one of these cheese bites with the dipping sauce to our security guard.
And he was fucking floored.
And then later came screaming into our room. I know what it is.
I know what it is.
We were all talking about it tastes like this.
It tastes like that. For me, it tastes like that, like for me
It was like tartar sauce with soy sauce. That's not incredibly far off
It was to me- Which is fucking weird when it just gets slammed next to some cheese bites
But there was still something about it that I described as nautical. Also then he wouldn't stop eating it
Uh, I needed to know. So he said it was like the Bloomin' Onion sauce
Yeah, he busted it and they all screamed at him. We all screamed at him. Have an update. He has sent it was like the Bloomin' Onion sauce. Yeah, he busted it. We all screamed at him.
Have an update.
He has sent me pictures of the Bloomin' Onion sauce.
I don't care!
It doesn't look like that!
Here's the other thing.
It doesn't look like that.
Here's the other thing I said.
I don't give a shit what you're saying.
Jordan's going out to yell at him.
Jordan is about to be escorted from the premises because he is the security guard.
He's out getting...
Well, now he's out getting Bloomin' Onion Sauce!
We're defenseless!
He ran away, he knew we were coming.
Here's the thing that bothered me. He was trying to convince us
and I was like, I don't give a shit what you're gonna say.
We've all had the Bloomin' Onion Sauce!
And even if I can't tell you exactly what it tastes like,
it doesn't taste like this.
It doesn't taste like this.
This is like something I've never had before.
It's wild.
It's insane.
He's like, yeah, Bloomin' Onion.
Get out of here.
He said it was like the Big Mac sauce.
He said it was closer with the Big Mac sauce.
It's not as savory.
It's very sweet.
Jordan said it was like tartar sauce, but with soy sauce mixed to it.
In fact, he just said it just now.
But I'm just like the, the color is so...
Tunes me out.
I can't...
No, it's like a sauce I've never had in my life.
Fucking insane.
You can't come to me and tell me it's like something I've had before.
Exactly.
And I'm just...
And it didn't come...
Go away.
Stop it.
It didn't come, like, fully mixed, because it was kind of like...
No, Jordan started stirring it.
That, like, orange is red.
Well, he just kept eating it and eating it.
At one point, you were like like what are you doing like a
white swirl and I was like maybe it
needs to be mixed more and I'm doing
experiment over to me too and he's like
get that sauce I went absolutely not
well I don't I told you he was like put
the flame and hot oh yeah cuz then you
guys start dipping the wings in it him
and Nick they became like like sauce
siblings oh yeah and then he went cheers and he's like you gotta get that in Yeah, because then you guys started dipping the wings in it. Him and Nick, they became like sauce siblings.
Oh, yeah.
And then he went, cheers.
And he's like, you got to get that in there.
And I went, I do not.
I absolutely do not.
I've eaten it twice now, and I'm done.
It's not good.
The Flamin' Hot wings, for the record, neutralizes it.
The flavor of those is stronger than the flavor of the sauce.
Very strange.
And the final experiment.
This was my favorite. To make it happen. This is where the con the sauce. Very strange. And the final experiment. This was my favorite.
To make it happen.
This is where the concussion happened.
We started, yeah.
So we're like, oh, what if we put the cheese.
The Cheetle.
The leftover Cheetle, the cheese bites,
the Cheetle-less cheese bites in the leftover Cheetle
from our Cheetle-covered.
I need a glossary.
Flaming hot boneless wings,
immediately Eric goes to it, and you hear,
it, like, squishes like a bug.
It was so...
That's the sound it made.
And, like, I was diagonally across from Eric,
and I heard it that loud.
I heard it and looked up, and Eric was just, like, frozen
with his, like like fingers on it.
And he's like making a face that's like.
I was looking down when he did it.
I heard the noise and looked up and he was just making that face of like.
It was like he stepped on a bug with his foot.
Yeah.
He doesn't want to look at his foot because there's bug guts on it.
That's the face you were making.
And Michael goes, was that you?
And I fucking lost it. And for some reason they have pictures at
head level and i went backwards and hit my head on i think that was the point that i said that i
was in the normal one yes oh that's what i lost you guys are all turning the goop and he just kept
saying tacky on tacky on so uh anyway i'm gonna wake up in the middle of the night and be like was that a dream yeah
so we ended up oh that was the other thing where it was like you're gonna wake up and you're gonna
go you're michael it's like no things are different it was like it was all a dream it was
so we went for four things the two versions of the cheese bites the two versions of the boneless
wings we got one thing we got the flaming the boneless wings. We got one thing.
We got one.
We got the flaming hot boneless wings.
That's it.
And then the Mountain Dew, which we didn't go for.
No.
But, hey, they had it.
They had it.
They had it.
And you're getting a refill whether you ask for it or not.
Drink your blue.
We've got too much of it.
This blue is getting dangerously close to all the red.
It's going to make purple. We don't need that. of it blue is getting dangerously close to all the red let me tell you at a
glance this table there were so many things I said I went this right here is
face gym oh yeah the tables the foods weird people are being weird the
restaurant everything everything is boneless and or like
the wings
and the cheese bites
at glance
were only different in size.
They were just all
little shaped blobs.
Some had meat.
Some were red.
Some had cheese.
But if you look at it
One was just Cheetle.
If you looked at it
it would
I don't know again
how to describe it
where it's like
that scene
in Hook where they pretend they're eating food and the food appears and it's just all mushy it where it's like that scene in Hook where they pretend
they're eating food and the food appears and it's just all
mushy colors.
Not just like, oh,
this looks bad, it's not appetizing, but it's just like
here's your food
mush color.
Here we are, four grown adults in the middle
of the day going, more mush!
I need to wash it down
with blue!
None of it looked like food i don't like i don't like when people find articles online and then quote tweet it and go like
we're turning into idiocracy or whatever because that's not where i feel like idiocracy is what we just did is what idiocracy is about it is like in like a babyfication that yes it is all
for it was like baby it was all like eat your nuggies it's red nothing will hurt you don't need
tea no it's a little crunchy but you'll be okay is so, like, it's the place where when you order,
it feels like they'll go, welcome to Applebee's, I love you.
They pat me on the head.
Because the food itself, the idea of breading the chicken wings
in the Flamin' Hot Cheetle is something that you do in middle school
when you crush up the bag
and you put it in your sandwich.
It's the idea that you have
when you are nine for,
if I could invent any food in the world,
it would be Cheetos on hot wings.
Hey, guess what Joel was doing?
He was nine.
His dreams have come true.
It's so fucking crazy.
And there is no one at Applebee's at 245 on a wednesday
and if these all close i think we might be better for it i do want that i want that to stay open
forever because what a fucking experience what a curse for everyone i mean again everything can
be seen through the lens of this show right we can never truly have a bad experience because
no the worst because we'll make this show right like people go truly have a bad experience yeah because no the worst because
we'll make this show right like people go to a restaurant they fuck their food up they're mad
we get our food fucked up who cares yeah we get a story we got an hour but not only was it that
right of like this is crazy we left and i just kept going i i feel like we should call someone
i think those people are just confused in there. The number of times we had to tell multiple people what we ordered and basically didn't get any of it.
I just kept going, I'm worried.
I'm worried.
And then you go, I'm tipping 20%.
Oh, I'm tipping 20%.
Absolutely.
I was like, she didn't earn it, but she does deserve it.
She needs it.
For what we were doing on this show, 20% is like, yeah, you got it.
Dude.
You got this.
It was unbelievable.
It was crazy.
It literally never stopped from start to finish.
No, it was, we walked into a ghost town and it was like, whoa.
And then ghosts served us.
To explain it too, I'll tell you, right?
Like, I don't know how long this podcast has been going because I don't have a timer.
It's impossible.
What we have
described
literally never stopped.
In that stuff kept happening
but it was so fast.
You can talk about
45 minutes from sitting down to leave.
I'm not talking about this is what happened over two hours.
This was like 40 minutes.
It was basically as long as it just took
us to tell you what happened.
Like, you basically were sitting across from us.
Because every single thing we said happened, and then we were done.
The food took 14 seconds to make, and it was just like, wow, here we go.
Wow, oh my God.
And then the ride home was just like, wow.
Home.
What just happened?
I live here now,
but it was like,
what the fuck was that?
I like this talking about.
Someone help those people.
Like calling 911 and being like,
somebody at the Applebee's needs help.
Can you describe them?
Just go and order the Cheetos.
You'll know.
Sir or madam,
I cannot.
That is,
I need a professional to go in there.
I don't know if they need pens.
I don't know if they need regular Cheetle dust.
They need something.
They need help.
That's what Nixon was like.
So when she went back and got the second pen,
was it just a straw?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She should have been writing it all down.
I mean, hey, everybody in there was very pleasant.
They were great.
And for this show, I loved them.
Everybody had a great attitude.
I don't know that they should have.
Then we left and they went, another happy customer.
We did it.
It was wild, dude.
And this has been the food podcast.
Where we actually talked about the food for once.
Truly.
If anyone can find out about that sauce.
God.
Yeah, I said specifically, I was like, I don't want to ask her.
Because we were talking about it also.
Like she would have never.
She would have said.
She would dip her finger in and go, let me try it.
It's like Outback
No
Oh man
Jordan after all the food we ate
And we only got one thing
What do you say?
In a way we got so much more
They were wings
They were very crunchy
Very strange though
They weren't like Cheeto flavor They were just kind They were very crunchy. So crunchy. Very strange, though. They weren't like Cheeto flavor.
They were like just kind of mildly spicy, and I thought they tasted weird.
Give me those 25-cent ones.
Also, I wish I could articulate what Jordan's doing right now.
He's got his fist put together under his chin like he's cowering from a ghost under the blankets.
I'm trying to revisit the mood
got the jibblies
this is so good
what a fucking insane
this is insane
fucking
for the experience
a hundred
wow
20% tip on that.
For the food, I wish I could rate those cheese bites, but not part of it.
39.
Just a 39.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can I say the most shocking part about that was when we were sitting there and Jordan
goes, the cheese bites are the best part.
And I just looked at you and I was like, they
are? I thought they
sucked. Compared to the
wings. I mean, you're not wrong, but
I'm just like, this is not as good as a mozzarella
stick. You fucked up on mozzarella stick.
Yep.
I wish you would have brought a mozzarella stick.
I wish you would have brought, oh, here's a hint.
Fucking marinara sauce.
What the fuck is this fish goop?
I said it doesn't taste like fish, but it's something a fish would like.
Jordan said that it tasted nautical.
Nautical.
Yeah.
Dude, I was thinking that.
Also, they look like tater tots.
They did not look like cheese curds at all.
Oh, we brought them back here, and we had another friend who tried them, and she just kept going, they look like tater tots.
They look like tater tots. They look like tater tots.
These are tater tots.
But I was going to say, I looked up the fucking cheese bites, the cheese curds, the regular thing.
They're not on the menu online, and you can't find out what the fucking sauce was.
So I think somebody's just fucking around back there.
Do you think that's like, it's like a good burger situation where someone in the back is just making their own sauce?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's the chef who's now our friend
is like wait till they get a lot of this sauce he's gonna love this help um yeah i mean i what
else is there to say it's elvin said that's what we said is what i ate um they were so it was like
somehow i will say that the chicken wasn't dried out no but. But it was such a dry, crunchy layer to get to the middle.
With the stale Cheetos.
It was like so bizarre.
The 25 cent wings were definitely better.
Yeah.
Yeah, they weren't hot at all in any way.
Blue drink.
Melted Otter Pop.
I mean, again, experience, incredible.
Food rating.
30.
Wow.
You went lower than Jordan.
That's incredible.
Well, he liked the cheese thing.
That's crazy.
34.
That might have been it.
Okay.
And so that's the rating.
And I want to say, too, I have this other side job that I do sometimes.
And so I work with this other group of animals.
And we had.
You have other friends?
I didn't say they were my friends.
Let me be clear.
I did not say that.
So I don't know that I've ever said it on this show.
I had a.
Put the mask back on.
He's friends with that guy.
I'm friends with...
So I have the...
I was over there before we started.
Delighted to see a bunch
of people in the office. And I went,
Here ye, here ye.
Have I got a deal for you.
I didn't know the term cheetle yet right and i was
like who wants some applebee's boneless flaming hot cheeto wings long silence it was like everyone
turned long silence and got well i feel like we have to try. Excellent. We'd be stupid not to. Excellent answer. Ran over here, got him, brought him back.
Again, he returns.
I put it in the kitchen.
They all started eating.
I was like, great, I'm going to go to the bathroom.
You eat it.
I'll find out.
I come back out and dude, like, I mean, granted, there's a bunch of people over there, but
they were almost all gone.
Gremlins.
I walked out, right?
They're boneless, but somehow there were just bones left behind. There were stolen
bones.
It was just hand bones.
When I put them down, I said, I hope you
don't want saucer dressing
because there isn't any. So I came
out and I just like, I didn't poll everyone
but there were like four people there at the time
and I went, consensus? Consensus?
And two people went,
they went, uh went pretty good.
Pretty good.
And then I got like acceptable.
And I was like, it feels less than a pretty good.
Yes, it does.
Yeah.
Then one of the pretty goods went back and said, actually, I would go to say, I would,
I would go and order that.
What the fuck?
And I went, I went interesting.
Interesting.
So it ranged from
we liked it, it was good.
Now granted, this
Gremlins, and the food was just dropped at their feet.
Yeah, right.
Gremlins suck. Like you would feed a Gremlin.
So again, there is something to consider. They didn't have to go through
the journey or pay for it or do anything.
It's just like, food's here!
It comes rattling out of a cage.
You put it in the trough and they come running.
Knowing that their opinions are going to be higher just because of that.
But it ranged from not bad, acceptable, to I'd order that.
And I went wild.
And then that came over to yours.
If you yourself work in video production,
and someone can drop them off at your feet and you can hit you can pause on adobe premiere
to go go scurry over and then eat them with your little gremlin fingers
this might be the food for you if you are a regular human being 34.5 i agree i agree so
this is gamer food i'm just to say it to you today.
Gamer food.
You guys were not regular.
Big time gamer food.
They have a special Mountain Dew gamer fuel.
Just call it gamer pellet.
You feed a hamster.
Let me get some gamer grub.
All right.
And that's the food.
God damn, dude.
It was crazy.
Okay. Hey. Yeah, we're a're hey yeah we're a food podcast we're
a food podcast and speaking of that uh we have a special snack what from jordan sweers
i sent it in jordan what will you tell us more about what you have here? I have brought today a new concoction from Icy.
We have talked about this on the show before, and Jordan got it.
They are new blue raspberry and cherry flavor cram-filled cookies.
So they're Oreos, but the filling is Icy flavors.
This is Icy brand, so they're making it themselves.
And as far as I can tell, this is not available to the public yet.
No.
Because I've been looking for any facts or press material about it.
I've typed in Icy Cookies, and there's just an old Reddit thread about,
anybody remember these from the 90s?
But it says new.
So you're telling me what we're dealing with here is a jam exclusive.
It is a jam exclusive.
And also, I even went on their Instagram and was looking at.
Oh, he did his research.
Looking at their pictures.
Imagine if you wrote a haiku.
I was busy.
Do your homework before the extra credit.
I was looking at their pictures to see if they would post anything about it.
Didn't find anything.
But look at. Everything is pretty normal, and then there's a random...
What the fuck?
What?
Whoa.
I'm going to take a screenshot of that.
That's pretty incredible.
I'd like to point out the advertisement on the tray here. Pop and fizz
of a classic Icy
Yeah, I don't
Did they pop or fizz? No, they were ice
I mean, I say the biggest things about slushies
I'm realizing, whatever you want to call them
as an adult, which I guess I didn't
remember because I drank them as a kid
and then a long gap of my life
why would I drink these? Right
They're fucking sour, dude.
Yeah.
My kids super into them. All of them, doesn't matter.
Like, some are like so and so sour.
And then I'll get one that's like, piña colada.
It's like, oh this one's just-
Why is the piña colada sour?!
They're all terrible!
They're all sour!
Smell it. Just smell it.
Holy crap.
Woah!
It smells just like the icy flavor. That's fucking...
Sure does.
Sure smells like an icy.
That's fucking crazy.
Isn't blue raspberry like a made up flavor?
The cherry one.
It's just raspberry?
Yeah.
Try the cherry.
Try the cherry.
It's just two red flavors but they didn't want to make two reds so they're like, ah,
make it blue.
Oh my god, that's even more potent.
It's so strong.
That's insane.
I wanna talk about pungent smells, man.
How are these fucking real?
Well, I'm gonna tell you how they're real is because it's probably the same fucking so strong that's insane how are these fucking real
well I'm gonna tell you how they're real
because it's probably the same fucking syrup
that goes in the cup
that just went in the cookie
they actually probably didn't do anything
so I don't know when these are available to the general public
I'll tell you when, never baby
I don't know if these are a test thing but
jam-sclusive
here we go
mine's popping and fizzing I don't know if these are a test thing, but... Jam-sclusive! Here we go.
Mine's popping and fizzing.
Why is it doing that?
This is not good.
This is very bad.
Why would you want these?
This rules.
It tastes like an icy.
The aftertaste is metallic?
Oh, man.
How much mercury is in this?
Right?
I feel like I'm ingesting metals.
Your tongue is blue!
Your tongue is so blue.
No!
Get it out!
To be fair, that might have been from the Mountain Dew.
I gotta try a blue one.
The cherry is so weird. Nick is convulsing as he continues to eat them.
The cookie part is like a vanilla cookie.
Yeah.
I feel like it would be better if it were not that flavor.
I mean, what?
Chocolate?
Probably chocolate.
Maybe graham cracker?
What's the other flavor?
I don't hate this shit or chocolate.
I don't hate blue.
I mean, I don't like it.
Here, finish mine.
Blue is marginally better. Squirming like a bug in his pants
Slithered up the wall backwards there slithered up the wall some reason
It's all crumbly like an on your fingers, and you just it was just in my face. Why is mine?
Why did they put pop rocks in it? I don't know
Why did they put pop rocks in it? I don't know
Your tongue is blue. Yeah, the red is worse
Now I see why you said you don't hate the blue and I went who's not good
The red was bad, but I feel like the blues only like margin. It's not as bad slight improve slight improvement. Oh man, this is not good.
I know a couple of gremlins that would love it. Oh, they can have it.
What the?
This is also gremlin food!
Usually.
We do one bite review for Snack Deck.
Sometimes I'm cheeky and I sneak another bite.
I don't want any more bites.
I'm just holding because we're both
holding cookies.
Take a picture of what we won't eat.
I look like Joe Perra
in the Rock episode.
Also, it's impressive how exactly similar
your bites are. Jordan ate
exactly the same amount. I'm done
here. I've learned enough. Would you like to
hold some iron?
Okay, so give me a score.
What the hell?
20. No, dude.
20.
No, 15.
15?
They suck.
These are awful.
I'm going to go 17
because the blue
is just a little better.
Let me see.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Average score of 16.
They suck.
Dude, Icey's going bankrupt
as soon as these hit the market. I mean, if you want something wild, these are wild. Okay, I see he's going bankrupt. I mean if you want something wild these are wild
I will tell you that they are not lacking in flavor, but they're lacking in good if you can if you can somehow buy one
You have a friend where you can split it in half this bag of them. There's so many there's like 30 cookies
I do I do want to check real quick.
Hey, Nick, thumbs up or thumbs down?
Oh, wow.
Thumbs down from Nick.
Thumbs down from Nick.
I mean, really?
I was preparing for him to go.
Yeah, he's our closest gremlin.
I thought he was going to go like thumbs in the middle.
This guy was, he ate all his wings and was scraping the Cheetos off his plate into his mouth.
He had two more plates of wings and he's like, let me scoop all these Cheetos. He was scraping the plate. off his plate into his mouth. He had two more plates of wings, and he's like,
let me scoop all these Cheetos.
He was scraping the plate.
Oh, my God.
Like when cheese melts to your plate,
and you just can't get enough.
He just went.
That's my friend.
Oh, man.

Why is he turning red?
He's getting cool and angry.
He's making, now his face is squirming.
It tastes so weird. It's too much. It's all bad. his face is squirming.
It's too much.
