Whole Foods vs Erewhon Taste Test | FOOD FEUDS

[@blargl121]

Erewhon pricing seems like a joke and the customers are the butt of it

Rhett is shocked at $8.50 for a slice of cheesecake but I find $4.50 for one cookie appalling!

[@allana1997]

8.50$ is like restaurant pricing and 4.50$ is price gouging haha

[@luxintelligentia4632]

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 👍

[@saschavanetten1091]

Growing up I was told a pizza bubble is good luck! Thats what I figured it was

[@EinzeltonTV]

I agree, but what you're talking about is blinding, not randomization :)

[@Louie_Bandana]

Agree 100%. Missed opportunity here.

[@PenetrationOgre]

Would definitely be the right call especially because Link can form unchanging opinions before testing the thing

[@laurelmentor404]

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,

[@Later_Doober]

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.

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.

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

[@prospect_joe9813]

They have that series in mythical kitchen, no?

[@FizzyCape]

I find Trader Joe’s is only good for their weird specialty stuff. Normal produce and stuff is better at other grocery stores

[@vampdaddy]

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 😋

He also got upset and rated a sandwich lower because he accidentally ate a little bit of tomato.

[@FirstLast-gw5mg]

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.

[@thingsofinterest603]

Clearly remembered and it was a joke, just went over your head

[@Izsmelfie]

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. 😆
