B. >> But it makes me kind of not like it cuz it's spicy. C. >> C. >> Mhm. >> Okay. I'm going to say it's a C as well. >> Can we change the black to be? Cuz I like Better than this. Did you like the original better than this? >> Yeah. >> Then put it as a B. THAT'S WHAT I'M THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SAY. >> OKAY. >> That's spicy. This spicy.

Along with Alfredo. That's what it is. That cheesecake. >> Take that. Eat it all. >> NO. GIVE IT BACK. >> OKAY. >> Make another one. I would ask for this and I would buy this again. >> Can I take it though? >> Move Arizona. >> You're actually eating it all though. >> WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF DOING A REVIEW for it. >> In the bubble of reviewing these noodles, right? I I'll give that a S. >> Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We can give it a S for sure. >> I would go out and buy those noodles if I wanted to, you know, get ramen. >> Yeah, yeah, I would buy them. Yeah, >> that would be a new staple, a new weekly staple in our house monthly. Monthly, they probably get tired, >> but also like those noodles are like super rich. >> It's Chipotle Alfredo. So, that was the rosé. >> Okay, so rosé is a popular Korean inspired fusion dish featuring chewy noodles coated in a creamy spicy pink hued sauce typically made by mixing hot sauce with cream, milk, or cheese. >> Yeah, it's good. Next is the habanero line. Yo, I can't eat anymore. >> Oh, put this in there, too. Oh, >> the flakes. >> Yeah. >> What kind of flakes are the flakes all the same? No, the flakes are different every time. One, two, ready, hit it. It's like it's like you be you be thinking you can do it when you do it like how does the beat go? Okay, so this is habanero lime. This don't look like it's going to taste like nothing, right? You need to eat like that. This is so gross. >> It's not that spicy. >> Is it? >> The flavor is not bad. Has like some kind of like chili oil. That's not bad actually, Elena. It's not bad. >> I don't like it. >> It's just not very good either. I would say it's a C. >> I just don't prefer this flavor. >> I would drain more of the water in this. >> Yeah, I would drink more of the water. We shouldn't keep the water. >> You know, like the chili and lime chips. That's what that tastes like. >> Yeah. Tastes nasty. >> It's not bad. I'm going to give it a C. >> What? So, we'll end up at a D. >> D. >> All right. >> Sorry. Taco. >> Taco. >> Okay. So, we got the sauce and we got the taco sauce. The taco seasoning. We're going to stir that up. >> I don't know. Some of these things just smell really artificial. >> It doesn't have a bad It smells like taco mix. >> Does it? >> Yeah. >> No, I smell the taco mix. I didn't smell it. That was amaz >> a little bit. >> All right, let's see. >> Let's try What do you mean? >> Not bad. >> Look past the artificial, Elena. Stop looking at the face value. You got to >> All right. Look past the artificial. >> Yeah. Look past all the um the palm oil and modified starch and and all the other stuff. It has a off-putting smell to me. >> Mhm. That's probably like the metals in it and stuff. >> If you like tacos, I think this is a good one. I think it has a pretty decent flavor of taco. I'm not a huge taco fan, but still, I think that this is a good flavor for tacos. I say it's a C plus. >> I like to give it a D. If you're at a C plus and I'm at a D, that's a D. >> That's a C minus. >> What's on there? A C. No, not with my boy Yakis Samo. >> Yakiso. >> No. Put it down to a D. >> Would you rather eat the cheese one or this one? >> Neither. This is nasty. This is a D. This is just one step above the F. The flavor is nasty. >> Okay, fine. I'll I'll make it the best D. Okay, I got mine. They both have >> Okay, it's the best D. We're going to give the carbonara a second chance. >> Yeah, we're going to give the carbonara here a second chance. >> The We thought it was a little bit too watery. So, this time we're going to add like there's like no water to this. So, this was the carbonaro. I can't even remember what that meant anymore. Oh, like the pasta sauce. Give it a second go. >> I know. This is gross. I don't know how people like try for like overnight. >> This is why we challenge. >> Exactly. >> We don't do these challenges. >> It's actually hard. Okay. This one smells more like an Italian sauce now. >> Yeah. It has like more of like that ragu like you know when you don't put enough um sauce like marinara sauce in your noodles. It kind of looks like >> that's a lot better. >> A lot better. >> A lot before we had this this saucy stuff. This don't taste like nothing. Yeah. You can't put water in any of these. >> Yeah. That's a lot better. I would give it a C. Plus, >> I'm fine with a C because I wouldn't get it from the store. But I can understand why people do like this. >> Yeah, I think this one is more like more spicier than the rosé and the rosé is a little bit more creamier than this one, but I feel like it's similar >> like a similar spectrum. Yeah. >> Carbonara, the way the directions give it, we gave it a F. When we drain all of it, a high C. >> Sure. >> Let's move that over. No, I like the other one. >> You like the yakisoba better? >> Yeah. >> Okay, then we we'll move this to a B. >> No. No, I like it better. >> I don't I don't like the yakisoba. >> Okay, we got one more. The last one. Your skin's starting to turn orange. It can't be that bad. >> Two times spicy. >> In the grocery stores, this is like one of the spicier ones that you could find.

This one had you sipping on a on a drink really quick. >> Your stomach hurt or something. I'm going do what you do when you taste test. I'm going to put my hand on my lap. I'm going to look up to the air. >> This has a better flavor. >> Yeah. >> Than the original one. >> I think the flavor is decent. I don't know if I like it. I can't tell anymore, Joe. Honestly, I'm like so noodled out. >> This one is like more chili. Like more like tip of your tongue spicy. >> I want to eat it again. We should have put the egg and the cheese on this one with the um >> the spicy with the um with the onion. >> What's wrong with you? >> I'm sweating. >> See, that's so weird. Like I found that one was so hot and this one doesn't do anything. >> I mean this one I shouldn't have wiped my This is like spicier like in my mouth to me. You drank all this. >> I'm eating all these noodles. What do you rate it? Two times spicy. >> Is your mouth spicy? Yeah, but not as bad as it was the other one. This is like the good spicy. I like the other one was like >> I think the original one like I'm having like more of a reaction to this one. >> Mhm. I had a reaction to the y. >> For some reason, I thought the original ones were Maybe it was cuz it was the first ones that I had. It was >> It felt spicier to me. Okay, let's rate. >> Is it better than the original for you? Yeah. >> And the carbonaro. >> Yeah. >> So, we have to give him an A. >> Okay. I'm happy with that. >> We don't have anyone in the F. >> No more. >> Taco. I feel like that was a F. Okay. So, in first place, we have the rosé. And then time for second. Well, not second, but we had the quattro cheese and the two times spicy. The quattro cheese was better. >> The quattro cheese was good. I mean, if you like not that spicy, that one is a is a good one. >> So, you think the the two times spicy was the same as quattro cheese or >> I think honestly I think the the two times spicy has more um if you like spicy and you want to like throw stuff in it, that one's a good one. >> Okay, so those are from us. And then for B, we got the >> original >> original and the carbonara. >> And then C, my boy Yaki Soma. What is wrong with yaki suma? >> It's nasty in a good way. >> Has like that generic like I don't know like Singaporean noodles like just >> maybe it was nasty. I just don't know. >> Yeah, I just >> My mouth was on fire cuz that was the one that was really spicy for me. Should we put that one as a F? >> I mean none of them are like a F. I think it's really just the water to noodle ratio. >> Yeah. Okay. And then for D, we have Tai, the jalapeno, lime, the cheese, which was disgusting, and the taco, which was even nastier in my opinion. A taco deserves a F. But I think you said it was a C. >> Okay, the best. >> If we could put one in F, what would we do? >> It would be the cheese. >> The cheese. I I agree. It was disgusting. Yeah, >> we have to put something in last place. It was just I don't know. I'm trying to go to sleep, bro. I'm trying to eat ice cream and go to bed. All right, y'all. That's the end of the video. Let us know if you like this video. If you want us to make more videos like this. >> No, no, no, no. >> We're not going to do this again. That's why we don't do this anymore. >> Joe, we're old people. We can't even eat like nine juicy noodles. All right, you guys. Bye.
