Chapter 1: What is the rarest food being tried in this episode?

0.169 - 17.542 Host

This is the rarest food in the entire world. Whoa. But before I show you what it is, my friends and I are also going to try this Japanese square watermelon, the world's most expensive chocolate, and so much more. But we're starting here with these Oreo Ritz crackers, one of the rarest snacks in the United States with only 1,000 boxes ever made. This box right here only cost me $10.

Chapter 2: What are Oreo Ritz crackers and why are they rare?

18.163 - 35.802 Host

But as the video moves on, the items are going to get rarer and rarer and eventually priceless. First look, what do you guys think? I like the idea of sweet and salty, honestly. So supposedly this cracker is literally just half Oreo with the Oreo cream and half Ritz cracker with peanut butter. I just forgot this was released in 2019.

35.942 - 41.127 Host

Spit it out. I like Oreos, so I like that half. The Ritz is forgettable.

41.307 - 52.157 Host

Our next two items are this glass of donkey milk from Serbia and this reindeer cheese from Sweden. Are you joking? I don't know about this one, Nick. So hear me out. This glass and this tube of reindeer cheese each cost me $25.

0

52.498 - 57.543 Host

I don't even like cheese to begin with, so this is it. Oh, it looks kind of nasty.

0

59.039 - 60.02 Host

What do you think? It's not good.

60.22 - 61.581 Host

Yeah, I'll take your word for it.

61.621 - 77.432 Host

What makes this so rare is the fact that reindeer make such little milk, only about a tenth of what a cow produces each day. Donkey milk, on the other hand, is much rarer. So believe it or not, we wanted to get donkey cheese, but Novak Djokovic, the tennis player, buys the entire world supply because he loves it so much. Who wants to taste the donkey milk first?

77.592 - 78.653 Host

I'll give it a whirl. Go for it.

78.673 - 79.373 Host

Give it a try, give it a try.

Chapter 3: What exotic items are included in this taste test?

399.976 - 414.965 Host

And all of this is genuine crystal. Oh, okay. Oh, I'm spilling it. I just spilled like 50 bucks. This is just going to sit here like any wine would to kind of open up. And ideally, this water is the best water we've ever tasted. I got to be careful when I pour this.

0

415.065 - 428.091 Host

Every drop counts. Bar is high for this. Cheers. Cheers. It's not blowing me out of the water expectation-wise. I don't know if I can taste the Amazonian air.

0

428.251 - 450.096 Host

It's almost more of a power move to buy your water like this and just be like... This right here, the rarest, most expensive chocolate bar in the entire world. You guys like chocolate? Love chocolate. This company only makes a few hundred of these per batch, and they regularly sell for up to $500 per bar. What makes this so rare is the cacao that this comes from. These are cacao pods.

450.236 - 466.644 Host

This is the fruit where chocolate comes from. And there's this one variety of this fruit from Ecuador that dates back 5,300 years old. A lot of people thought it went extinct until not that long ago, someone found a few trees in this remote area of the Ecuadorian rainforest. That looks pure. I have a sort of a fun idea. One second. What is he up to?

0

466.804 - 486.437 Host

I have this other box of dark chocolate, also from Ecuador. It's from a company called Blue Stripes. It's a beautiful bar itself. Each of these chocolate bars goes for $5. So five versus 500. I want to do a blind taste test. Can this chocolate be worth that much money? Let's find out. Put on your blindfolds. I'm going to mix these up so that only we know which one is which. First one.

486.457 - 487.758 Host

I'm gonna give you guys each a square.

490.399 - 514.29 Host

It's really, really good chocolate. It's not too brittle. It's chewy enough. I like that one a lot. Now for the second one. Cheers. This one feels a little less rich, a little lighter, right, Mark? Yeah, the bar's not quite as thick. Not quite as flavorful, I'll say that. So which bar are you picking, number one or number two? I have to say probably bar number one.

514.811 - 520.073 Host

Me as well. Take the blindfolds off. Bar number one, the $5 bar.

521.534 - 537.125 Host

Ah! I think just biting into this first one, it was so smooth all the way down. Can't go wrong with chocolate either way. Yeah. What? It's moving. What are these? These look like fingers. Can someone please tell me what's going on? Nick, why aren't you talking?

Chapter 4: How is donkey milk compared to reindeer cheese?

662.235 - 667.881 Host

This box is like what you get a fancy watch in. I feel nervous holding the bottle. Number 358 out of 400. If you break it, you buy it. Ooh.

0

672.583 - 674.863 Host

Okay, I'm really excited for this.

674.883 - 690.886 Host

Get the bread, get the bread. Before we move on, we're going to pair this with this golden olive oil from Greece. This is from the foothills of Mount Olympus, home of the Olympic gods. It is a 24-karat gold-infused extra virgin olive oil. I got this beautiful balsamic olive oil platter.

0

690.966 - 695.847 Host

At the bottom there is some of our 100-year-old balsamic, and the top, of course, you can see we have gold-flaked olive oil.

0

695.947 - 697.687 Host

You really are the king of plating.

697.707 - 700.568 Host

This is nice, right? Just dip in there, just kind of get in the crevices.

704.418 - 709.54 Host

Wow. 10 out of 10. Seriously, 10 out of 10. And the olive oil is a proper way to start a meal.

709.72 - 717.464 Host

Next up is a $1,500 item called elvish honey. And it's rare because the honey has to be harvested in the middle of the night by professional climbers.

717.564 - 718.864 Host

That's beautiful. Yeah.
