Erewhon pricing seems like a joke and the customers are the butt of it
Grifting rich idiots is the American way. We have a guy running for president that does it constantly and they love him for it.
It’s in Los Angeles, really no more needs to be said 😅
california is already expensive but this is capitalism. ridiculously over priced food
@@pinkbubblegumprincesstell me you know nothing about capitalism without telling me. This is more like a Veblen good which is an almost complete contradiction of the typical law of demand seen in capitalistic economies.
Well yeah. 1 pizza for almost $40.00? 😮
I still think that this segment would be funnier and more interesting if the boys didn’t know where the food where from.
Or even a final round like that or something would be good
With an occasional Safeway thrown in!
New segment, Domino's or Dumpster?
Probably
They should always let Link go first, he always adjusts his scores.
Rhett is shocked at $8.50 for a slice of cheesecake but I find $4.50 for one cookie appalling!
8.50$ is like restaurant pricing and 4.50$ is price gouging haha
$5 is what all those Crumbl-like cookie places charge, so theres actual precedent for that outside of restaurants.
It's crazy to think Link is chasing all these dishes with luke warm milk
Milk goes with everything
@@haleyperetic8285 No. No it doesn't.
@@Onetwothreepeanuts I'm sure they wash sushi down with milk too lol
@@DietBajaBlast That was the combination I was picturing! 🤢
Im from a country where everyone is a milk person. Everyone likes it, some just dont want to drink it later on because there is some new trend that young people have. I definetly understand, if i was given the choise from the start to drink something else i maybe wouldnt like it so much. Somewhere like in america there is huge difference with milk lovers and haters, maybe its the same thing that now when everyone is more informed what the milk really is and stuff so people see it more disgusting(?) or its something else. Everyone who doesnt like milk, remember, you dont have to and we accept you just like you are 👍
Erewhon proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that there is in fact a sucker born every second 😂
indeed!!!!!!!
Maybe if you can’t afford to eat or shop there. The people who can do so they don’t have to put up with the riff raff at Walmart.
@maxpower10k Oh for sure, because there's nothing between Walmart and 20 dollars/pound overcooked and gritty Mac and cheese 😂
@@maxpower10kthere are plenty of other stores other than walmart that are significantly cheaper than erewon or however tf you spell it
@@maxpower10k what an utterly ridiculous, uneducated statement to make
It's episodes like this that makes me wonder like, does the mythical crew sit around just waiting for this food to become available after Rhett and Link just have one piece?
If anything is left after Josh gets at it, maybe.
I think anything they don't finish gets donated
@@smittynumber1812you can’t donate half eaten burritos
Donated to the crew. Mainly Josh lol
They fight over it I'm pretty sure
Erewhon is laughing all the way to the bank with those outlandish prices.
Link: “the cheapie one first”
Me: Whole Foods is for when I wanna treat myself 😭
i just remember the last time i went to the salad bar. granted, i made mistakes, i will admit that, but it wasn't even that big!!! $20!!!
“Relative” applies here. They’re both premium
@@embarrassedcapI once thought I could get my family dinner at the salad bar. I'd never been to whole foods before and was very surprised when it was $100 😢
Yes, they literally said it's in comparison to the other one they are testing today.
They are millionaires
6:49 “Text who? Text the store? You can text a store?” Rhett’s disbelief lol
I was pretty shocked that you can text a store also. I guess I'm old, haha.
@@MrVovansimI'm 29 and I didn't know about it either so I must also be old 😂😅
@@MrVovansimnah, texting a store ain’t normal. I’m not sure why this store lets you, but I would imagine it would be a nightmare for the already struggling customer service workers.
Maybe text the store’s nationwide customer service department, but definitely not the store itself
The idea I'd pay nearly 50 dollars in my currency (Canada) for a grocery store pizza is absurd. In my mind Grocery store pizza is like one step above a frozen pizza lol
Ridiculously priced but the food at these stores is generally a lot better than regular grocery stores
@@gilbert2720better than grocery stores, but not even close to good enough to warrant a $40 pizza lmfao
@@bradlasalle2888I think grocery store pizza is sometimes gross compared to a decent frozen pizza like tombstone digourno and Tony’s.
Yuuup I feel ya there… $20-$30 more expensive than something from a local place that’s easily 10x better. It’s shameful, honestly.
im in canada and to order a large takeout pizza with small garlic fingers and a 2l of pop with delivery is $42
This series should be randomized so they don’t know which they are trying
I agree, but what you're talking about is blinding, not randomization :)
Agree 100%. Missed opportunity here.
Would definitely be the right call especially because Link can form unchanging opinions before testing the thing
Yes, I agree, and also I noticed that Whole foods won in more categories than Erewhon. Maybe the number of wins per category should be tallied up and taken into account. That way, if they rank something super low for one store and they lose a bunch of points, it won't give the other store/restaurant and advantage, when that store does not perform well across categories,
Link’s perfect cookie to chip ratio has me convinced he’s a droid.
Is Link's hair transforming into a mullet before our eyes?
Yes, unfortunately 😂
Hope not
No
we can only hope
Yes! They’ve talked about it on Dispatches lol he and his dad are both doing it
They should do a food feud but have Stevie wait to tell them which is which until after they eat and rate everything. That way they’re impartial, and maybe they could earn points for guessing correctly, or something. Make it both a food feud and a game.
I feel they used to do this… but I think Link was too dangerous with the skewers or something 😂😂 definitely needs to be brought back, I’m totally with you
ikr??????
Agreed
agreed with this - feel like this should've been a blind taste test (as in, they pick which one they prefer, and stevie tells us where it's from)
@@lemonadeslices Yes! That would be great!
i am from the UK, never in my life have i been to a whole foods or erewhon. was i rooting for wholefoods the entire video? yes.
There’s quite a few Wholefoods in the U.K. - treat yourself!
They do actually have some well priced items now, in their 365 line.
I live in the US and have never been to or seen either of these lol
Wholefoods is worth a visit, there is a range of products there, not just crazy overpriced and the prepafed food is very good.
You know it’s bad when you’re still awake and GMM posts 😅❤
Exactly my thought when I saw the video 😂😂
Literallyyyy
Truth I was gonna post the same thing lol
Bro literally 😂😂😂
Well damn, here we go again :(
Erewhon is the type of store that I picture celebrities and stuck up influencers shop at and say its the best because everything is expensive.
Can I have an explanation on what Rhett was reminded of with the pizza bubble. I suppose we will never know
Growing up I was told a pizza bubble is good luck! Thats what I figured it was
To me, a pizza bubble always meant this piece of pizza is gonna taste like toppingless bread.
Idk, but I love pizza bubbles. I will pick the bubbliest pizza slice, about every time. ❤
If you were a true fan you would remember. He talked about the bubble being like the butt.
I seem to remember a story about a blister
$36 for for pizza? 😵💫 That pizza better have gold in the dough or something if I'm gonna pay $36 for ONE pizza!
It's not even a good pizza. :/
I must say, Link’s mullet is definitely mulleting
He needs to start wearing his correct size shirt 😂😂
sadly hahaha
@@rollin60znot all of us have kept to the baggy 90's look, my guy.
He's really his dad
I don’t think you know what a mullet is.
Of course it wouldn't have been as close, but then Link ate a tomato 😂
ikr? like why didn't he check to be sure
Too bad Wegmans hasn’t expanded to Cali, it would be interesting to see Whole Foods vs Wegmans
wegmans is the working mans whole foods
Wegmans would totally win!
Stevie you deserved so much more laughter at the thought of the ice rink being the frozen section 😂 ppl skating around to pick up a frozen pizza is HILARIOUS to me 😂😂😂
Y’all should do Whole Foods vs Trader Joe’s but with the basics (veggies, cheese, etc) instead of the frozen stuff
Just “what actual groceries are better from which reasonably priced store”
Get the mythical kitchen involved
I’m firmly in the “Trader Joe’s is kind of better at everything” camp, especially given the price difference
They have that series in mythical kitchen, no?
I find Trader Joe’s is only good for their weird specialty stuff. Normal produce and stuff is better at other grocery stores
So they have a series very similar to this already on Mythical Kitchen! Josh makes meals with ingredients from Walmart vs. Whole Foods, AM PM vs Whole Foods, etc. I recommend it 😋
heck yeah haha! I totally agree. This wasn't a fair match, and all processed foods
Ooh yes, aldi too!
I love how they GIVE companies a CHANCE to be sponsors 🤣🤣 It's amazing how I've never seen anyone else do this.
as a former whole foods employee its interesting to see them rate the foods that I got so sick of eating on my break every day lol. the mac and cheese does slap though
Link is turning into Captain Planet
Who?
you’re so right i will never be able to unsee it now
Bro 😂😂😂😂
He has been known to eat birds
The song is in my head now. I can seriously imagine him saying, "With your powers combined...I AM CAPTAIN PLANET!!!"
I'm going to predict the future and guess that Link is going to have a hyper specific problem with something he eats this episode
he would never
This week's issue. Tall bread
Bread that’s too tall and specifically 3 chocolate chips in his cookies
The mac n cheese 😂😂😂
He also got upset and rated a sandwich lower because he accidentally ate a little bit of tomato.
THE GROCERY STORE BATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Link’s Mythical Summer Mullet is in full effect
I never thought telling a man that you can text a store would change his perspective on life this much
This was funny, lol. 😂 The whole reason for the score being so close was a tomato slice on a sandwich. Otherwise Whole Foods would’ve clearly won. 😂 The content I’m here for. 😆
Link basically said what would make this a perfect chocolate chip cookie is if there wasn't any chocolate chips
but frr when it has so much chocolate chips you can’t taste the cookie part so i get where he’s coming from
“I need to call them to get their number” -Link 2023
😂😂😂😂
Link: "That's a 9."
Rhett: "It's not a 9. He's going to score it again."
Link: "You know what... I haven't thought about this until now, but I think that I'm going to give it... a... 9."
I can't tell whether Link completely forgot that he'd already rated it or if he played such a convincing deadpan that I couldn't tell the difference.
Clearly remembered and it was a joke, just went over your head
“It’s very weirder”. I love Link
HA! The (tiny/specialty) coffee roasting company I used to work for had their beans in Erewhon for a while, but apparently their coffee buyer was extremely flakey, and my boss decided it was easier to just _not_ deal with them so we stopped sending coffee down to them.
Tiny/specialty? Those are my pronouns too. /s
idk why but when link said “date alert!” i laughed for at least a full minute
Walking around Walmart with the boys is totally a North Carolina thing 😂
Florida as well 😂 we love it
Tennessee too! Or dollar general if you're in a rural area that doesn't have a walmart nearby
same with utah 😂
Agreed
Its an american thing, because we all live in cities that dont give great access to nature
Good mythical morning, beasts!! And happy Monday! I hope everyone has a wonderful day 😊❤
So amused by the dry humor! How Link says ridiculous things then Rhett plays on it 😂
Link had so much energy and sass during this episode. I love it.
Missed opportunity:
"What shoes do rappers wear to go organic grocery shopping?"
.....
"Ere-Force-Whons"
(If you don't get it, you might be too young 😂)
The legacy Rhett and Link will leave is gonna be awesome, feels good growing with them and the team!
I was waiting for this. I worked at a wholefoods in the kitchen. The Mac n cheese comes from a bag, frozen. We steam it and serve it.....lolol.
WHAT???????????????????????????????
So does Panera
You give away our secrets! ‼️😂
Wow big whoop I work at wholefoods and that’s the first thing I told people it’s not a secret
Well, they got folks' tastebuds fooled 🤷🏿♀️🤷🏿♀️🤷🏿♀️
Classic Link, "My class will not fall over, for it is full of milk!" 😂😂
What an honor! How do we redeem your offer? 😀
Love how Rhett puts a tiny bite of cookie back on the Erewon plate then goes back for it 30 seconds later
Link needs his charts. I wouldnt give them the prices.
I love Link's hair! And just his whole look in this episode.
I'm feeling Link's hair getting the party 🎉 in the back.
Stevies 'literally' after Link saying ' 'that would be cool' in regards to the ice skating/freezer section comment went under appreciated
I’m appreciative
Breakfast? Ready.
Mood? Chill af.
Me? Watching GMM.
This early though??😭
Good Mythical Summer Beasties! (and happy birthday to ME!)
Happy birthday 🎂!
@@stephaniepinkney6044 thank you!
Linking rolling his eyes like Rhett is the crazy one. Also stop giving link food with tomatoes man its making the stats even more weighted lol.
Finally they compared the prices. I’ve been wanting them to do that in this series since the first episode.
Theory: Jeffrey Bezos started Erewhon to make Whole Foods seem reasonable
I don't think there's a better show on CZcams 🎉 I'm happy I've only JUST found you guys. Now I have hours and hours to binge while at work 😅 this is exciting!
Link was being extra cute today
The way Stevie says "Grocery Store" makes my ears tingle like I'm listening to the finest ASMR...mmmm i like
Who else is as glad as I am to see Rhett & Link back?
theyve been back?
@@HB4o8 they were away for the last video so it was just the mythical crew
@@Anton-jl6su they're just doing saturday episodes for the summer and I think it's quite fun!
@@sineadwv ahh right okay and no same I actually enjoyed the mythical crew episode tbh
I would just like to see one of the winners of food feuds actually sponsoring an episode 😂
I knew the moment I saw those burritos that Link was going to touch both halves of the one on his side 😂he cannot help himself.
Can we have an episode where the mythical kitchen members each make their favorite dish of all time and we just watch Rhett and Link have a good time. No bad foods…..?
Best way to start the week!
They call it Erewon, but EreLost
Definitely should be a blind test where they don't know which place it comes from until after
Ever since i started watching GMM, and even until now! I really want Stevie to read me horror stories around a campfire
Really gotta do this as a "blind" taste test- don't tell them which plate is which, and switch up the sides each time.
THESE PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS!
I had never heard of Erewhon until they mentioned it on this show and even then I would never have guessed it was spelled like that lol
Wow was Link is stellar mood today or what? If I didn't know any better I'd think he was on something. Lol😂
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
From the looks of the mullet and tattoo outline he's in a full blown mid life crisis mode and it wouldn't surprise me if he's started bumping lines before the show
Also, WHERE IS HIS WEDDING RING???
@@Linuxpunk81 to funny love this!!! lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
it’s 6am i haven’t been to sleep and now i have to finish this video before i do🤣
I feel like Link would make more sense as a cartoon.
I love how Link is slowly growing a mullet. And i fully support that wether it’s intentional or not
Damn it's crazy how fast likes and comments this channel gets. Much love from everyone and everywhere
Love Link's Mullet! 😀
Erewhon is something people in LA think is way more interesting than it actually is.
as a loyal whole foods bakery worker, the mac and cheese is bussin
Omg can we please take a moment to appreciate the “dink it & sink it” tumblrs 😍
Never been awake to see a fresh video till now
I'd definitely like an episode where they make a giant cheese cake, and link sleeps on it 😂
4:19 That synchronized bite 😂
I love that they designed those shirts to look like the original choose your own adventure book covers. Perfect 👌
I really like this episode, cause I love Wholefoods lol
"Low-rent cheesecake" LOL. From the bizarre mind of Charles Link Neal.
When link said hes giving it a zero because of the tomato hahahah 😂
As a Whole Foods Market Prepared Foods employee, I can say that, yes, our food is good.
Our pizza slaps! Loooove the BBQ Chicken
As the guy who makes the pizza at wholefoods yes it does slap
Erewhon is literally trolling rich people and gen Z. It's a big joke
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
How can Rhett still be besties with link after all of links bad food opinions?! They are such a great comedic duo.
Good Mythical Summer Beasts, Happy Monday yall have a great week! :) Flac
you too bro :)
Feels like Erewhon is the type of store that is designed to attract the type of people who make "I shop at Erewhon" a part of their identity rather than anything practical or rational.
this episode was fr hilarious 😂
Erewhon is such a joke 😂
Love watching GMM in the morning 🌅🇨🇦
aw the couple at the cliffs of moher in the wheel video made me smile, that is my favorite place i've ever been. if you love wind, it fills the soul with glee. :)
Link workin on that mullet
Link's little giggle as he ate his pizza was cute
I'll take the price into account. Imagine being twice as expensive and still not winning. 😺
