- [Narrator] How's it taste?
Is it good?
- It tastes good.
Why are you saying it like that?
How's it taste?
Does it taste good?
Well, it's poison!
[upbeat percussion music]
- For me, there's mint chip
and there's everything else.
- [Narrator] You're tasting ice cream.
- Thanks, I'm lactose intolerant.
I don't understand how many
times we have to go over this.
- [Narrator] Where do
you stand on blindfolds?
- I'm always for them.
- I was hoping this would
have a fun animal on it.
- My parents actually
own and ice cream store.
- [Narrator] Really?
- So if I don't win this...
[upbeat percussion music]
- Did I get any?
- Do I have any on my spoon?
- I can't even tell if I'm
getting any on the spoon.
- Tricky thing about ice
cream is because it's cold,
it's kinda hard to smell.
- Smells like nothing.
- Mmmm.
- It tastes like watery coffee ice cream.
[doorbell sound]
- That's coffee.
[doorbell sound]
- Coffee.
[doorbell sound]
- Coffee. [doorbell sound]
- Coffee. [doorbell sound]
- [Narrator] Correct!
- Really?
- [Narrator] Yeah.
- Okay.
- Thinks it's chocolate.
[buzzer]
- Coffee.
[doorbell sound]
- My backup if mint chip isn't available,
and it damn well should be, is coffee.
[doorbell sound]
- It's coffee.
[doorbell sound]
And I think it's Häagen-Dazs.
- [Narrator] Can you guess
the brand on that one?
- Brand?
No.
- Häagen-Dazs coffee.
[doorbell sound]
- Häagen-Dazs, right?
- Is this Häagen-Dazs?
- [Narrator] Yes.
- [laughter]
[spoon clatters]
[upbeat percussion music]
- Again, I don't smell anything.
- Ice cream doesn't really
smell like anything, I feel.
- Fruit, berry, and oat.
- The higher the water
content, the more, you know
ice is going to end up in
the ice cream and it's not
gonna be as smooth.
- Are these all ice creams?
Or are they like ice cream products?
- [Narrator] They're all scoops.
- It doesn't taste like it has milk in it.
This tastes like, I can't get a good bite.
- Definitely like the fruity
flavor like a berry situation.
- It's either like a soy
milk, an almond milk,
or an oat milk ice cream
is what I'm gonna guess.
[doorbell sound]
- Like strawberry, maybe?
[doorbell sound]
- This to me, actually tastes like melon.
[buzzer]
- Is this like a non-dairy
strawberry ice cream?
[doorbell sound] [doorbell sound]
- Strawberry
[doorbell sound]
Maybe a sorbet?
[buzzer]
- Vegan strawberry?
[doorbell sound]
- [Narrator] Oat strawberry.
- Oat strawberry, that is vegan.
[doorbell sound]
Just for the record, I got that right.
- Strawberry.
[doorbell sound]
That's my favorite ice cream, by the way.
It was very icey.
Is it cream based?
[buzzer]
- [Narrator] No.
- Ew, okay.
- Honestly it tastes like
strawberries and oats.
[doorbell sound] [doorbell sound]
- [Narrator] That is correct.
[gasp]
- I wanna say it's strawberry.
[doorbell sound]
I mean it almost tastes like
it's non-dairy or something.
[doorbell sound]
- I don't know that I'd say
that there's no dairy in it.
There is something giving
it some creaminess, but,
[buzzer]
I would say flavor-wise, it's strawberry.
[doorbell sound]
- Strawberry? [doorbell sound]
Maybe it's like a sherbet?
[buzzer] Is it like a, is
it like one of those...
- [Narrator] It's oat.
Oat ice cream.
- Oh that's why it's so [beep]
- Oat does not make good ice cream.
[spoon clatters]
[upbeat percussion instrument]
- Is that a lot?
- [Narrator] It's a good amount, yep.
It just fell off.
- So far none of them smell like anything.
- I smell like the
faintest bit of chocolate.
- No aroma.
Oh, there's some texture though.
- Hittin' some chunks.
- I'm getting bits.
- Chocolate shards in there.
- Mmm, that's good.
- Maybe like a chocolate
caramel, is what I'm getting.
- I would assume a vanilla-ish base.
- Sorry, I have no idea what this is.
- Mm-hmm, chocolate.
And a disgusting thing combined with it.
- Kinda just comes off
as like a marshmallow
with like rippled chocolate.
- Super creamy, there's no ice crystals.
The dairy tastes like dairy.
- Oh I know this.
You know why I know this?
- [Narrator] Why?
- 'Cause of Claire Saffitz.
- [Narrator] Yeah?
- Cherry Garcia.
[buzzer]
- Cookies and cream, maybe?
[buzzer]
- I don't know about that one, man.
[buzzer]
- Like, plain random ice cream
with like chocolate flakes in it.
- [Narrator] If you had to pick a flavor.
- Chocolate flake flavored?
[buzzer]
- Chocolate chip ice
cream with a vanilla base.
I feel like this is also non-dairy.
[buzzer]
- I mean I guess like
chocolate caramel or like
chocolate dulce de leche.
[buzzer]
- Vanilla like stracciatella?
[doorbell sound]
- It's like mint chip, without the mint.
Chocolate chip, I guess.
[buzzer]
- It's not chocolate chip
because it's not chip,
it's very shavey shavey.
- [Narrator] That's right.
- I don't remember the name.
- Is it mint chip, and then
it's some boujee mint chip
that doesn't taste very minty?
[buzzer]
- [Narrator] It's stracciatella.
- Oh, come on, that is cheating!
It's just vanilla chip
with an Italian name
that nobody can pronounce.
[spoon clatters]
[upbeat percussion music]
- I don't know why I
still want to smell them.
They don't have a smell.
- Um, herbage.
- Oh, creamy.
- It's nice to spoon.
- [smacks lips] Ooh.
- I can already taste like some,
I think citrus-y thing, though.
Oh, no, not citrus-y.
- Ew,
no.
- There's something kinda
vegetal, like a little herbaceous.
- It tastes spiced.
It tastes cinnamon-y.
It tastes a little nutty.
Has kind of a bitter aftertaste.
- It has this kind of undercurrent
of like a honey flavor.
- It's got sort of like
a ginger cinnamon like
warm spice thing happening.
- Like a very hearty herb.
I want to say it's rosemary.
- Either rosemary or sage ice cream.
- Or is it sage?
- This kind of tastes like
fresh mint ice cream to me.
- Tastes like a Christmas tree.
- That tastes like ginger.
[buzzer]
- Rosemary ice cream.
[buzzer]
- Sage.
[doorbell sound]
- It's basil.
[buzzer]
- Rosemary.
Oh, sorry, did I say rosemary
because I meant sage.
[doorbell sound]
You didn't, no one gave it away.
Sorry, it was sage.
- Mexican chocolate?
[buzzer]
- I'm going to go with mint.
[buzzer]
- I'm going to say mint.
[buzzer]
- I'm gonna go with sage.
[doorbell sound]
- I don't have a better guess
so I'm just going to say
like a honey.
[buzzer]
I'm terrible at this.
[upbeat percussion music]
- [Narrator] What are you doing?
- Just searchin' around for chunks.
How do you eat your ice cream?
- A lot harder, more dense.
It definitely seems like it
will have a nice chew to it.
- This is truly disgusting.
- Ew.
- Ew, what the hell is this?
- Getting a little bit
of like tropical fruit.
- Like rotting tropical
fruit or something.
- Tastes crazy.
- Bubble gum, in a weird way.
- Flavor that keeps on
coming to mind is prosciutto.
- No, there's no fruit in this.
- I'm getting this like
walnut vibe, but it's also
kind of funky, like it's almost giving me
a sheep's milk cheese vibe.
- Brie or camembert.
- Tastes like my old office used to smell.
- But then there's some weird
like almost vegetable thing.
I don't know what the [beep] this is.
- Very savory, ferment-y,
almost like it's made out of
sake leaves.
- There's like something kind of like
a little bit mushroom-y.
- Kind of mushroom-y, nutty.
- Does this ice cream have a nut?
- A nut that's gone bad.
- Hazelnuts?
- Like an almond?
- There's a swirl in this,
cause I can taste the swirl.
That's adding that chewiness
throughout the ice cream
and ruining the entire experience.
- It has this like weird stretchy quality.
- Like a little marshmallow.
- Whatever it is, I [beep] hate it.
- Maybe it's like a Syrian
ice cream, 'cause like,
yeah, this texture otherwise.
- It's not chunky monkey 'cause
chunky monkey has chocolate
in it too, so it can't be chunky monkey.
- Like, it almost tastes
like carrots at the end.
- Tastes like there's like
miso or something in there.
- Every time I take a bite
it tastes more and more
like camembert.
Camembert walnut, classic combination.
[buzzer]
- Miso butter pecan.
[buzzer]
- It has like a vanilla
sweetness too which can be...
Vanilla walnut?
[buzzer]
- Coconut, carrot, toffee,
vanilla, caramel explosion bomb.
[buzzer]
- Rotting tropical fruit.
[buzzer]
- It tastes like caramel
fudge with some nut that
at this point is dissolving
so I can't tell what it is.
Cashews?
[buzzer]
- Walnut.
[buzzer]
- Oh is like AmeriCone Dream?
[buzzer]
- I'm not going to eat this again,
so let's just say bubblegum.
[buzzer]
- Some kind of like nut
flavored booza is my guess.
[buzzer]
- [Narrator] That's a great guess.
Miso black walnut.
- Oh, wow.
- Ew, no.
No, I'm sorry who made it,
I love you, but not for me.
Should I take this off?
- Oh, it has mastic.
It gives it a really
nice elastic chew to it.
- [Narrator] Does it change
how you feel about it?
- What 'cause it's high brow?
[drum roll]
[upbeat percussion music]
- [Narrator] You pretty much nailed it.
- Except the stracciatella.
- [Narrator] How do you
feel about your performance?
- Oh, underwhelming, so underwhelming.
- I think I did good.
- I feel good about it.
- Pretty good, right?
I guessed the first two.
- You know, started strong
and then just steady decline.
- There's certain things
that you will allow your mind
to run to, you know,
and like sage was just
a little bit passed
where I could have gone.
- What am I two for five?
Three for five?
- You guys really did a number.
- I didn't get one right, did I?
I got strawberry.
- I wasn't a fan of any
of them, to be honest.
- It really didn't taste
like stracciatella to me,
but the chocolate flakes made me wonder.
- I would never order that.
Not even like in Italy,
like walking along the banks
of the Grand Canal or whatever.
- The burnt sage was
actually pretty [beep] good.
- Honestly, I'm kinda over like
perplexing ice cream flavors.
- I never go anywhere without my
Lactaid, fast acting lactase enzyme.
Take with your first bite.
