Can We Taste The Hidden Ingredient?
Identifying Hidden Ingredients Through Extreme Taste Testing
Discover how much of a shock ingredient you need to consume before you can successfully identify it in common foods. Learn the nuances of taste versus smell when challenging your palate.
Short Summary
- Hosts played a game requiring identification of surprise ingredients mixed into oatmeal, cinnamon rolls, guacamole, and hot chocolate.
- Participants struggled initially, often relying heavily on smell, which is estimated to be 80% of taste.
- The hidden ingredients ranged widely, including White Vinegar, Liver, and ultimately, Fish Sauce and Ketchup.
- Successful identification sometimes required consuming significantly escalated amounts (up to 8 teaspoons).
This episode challenges Rhett and Link to discern unknown additions in everyday dishes. The segments illustrate how our perception of flavor changes drastically as ingredient concentrations increase, forcing players to rely on core taste receptors when smelling is restricted.

Fish sauce is made from fish and fish guts fermnted in salty water and Link guessed fish guts first. Pretty good
Glad others think Link deserved the first round win on Fish Sauce. I think Stevie just wanted to see them eat the grosser ones.
Stevie should have told Link he was in the ballpark with the first guac guess
“The tie is scored” thank you Stevie
08:40 "this is making me think it's something Link doesn't like", well that aint gonna narrow it down buddy 😂😂😂😂
I love the arguement at the end. They are an old married couple.
Ngl I kinda like Link's impromptu rule of whoever didn't win that round get to taste the strongest one

I knew Rhett was gonna say “chocolate covers a world of hurt”.
