00:00 Oh, just for you, the Dr. Oz special, a bacon soda.

00:05 What?

00:06 (audience cheering)

00:07 All right, pass it down.

00:09 Are you kidding me?

00:10 It actually says bacon soda.

00:12 That is so crazy.

00:13 Are you kidding me?

00:13 I chose this special for you.

00:15 I'll stay mindful later.

00:16 No, no.

00:17 Take the pass.

00:18 All right, what do we think?

00:21 Okay, why though?

00:25 This is a no, this is a firm no from me.

00:27 This should be outlawed, oh my gosh, no.

00:29 Never do that.

00:30 Alex.

00:31 Never.

00:32 She doesn't sell the Dr. Oz.

00:32 She just found a--

00:34 I actually wanna be the bright bulb

00:38 on this Christmas tree right now

00:40 and say that this soda has a silver lining.

00:42 It kind of is like a cream soda.

00:44 Kind of.

00:45 Kind of.

00:46 No.

00:47 Kind of.

00:48 No.

00:49 Like a cleaning detergent aftertaste.

00:50 Same but liquid smoke cream soda.

00:53 All right.

00:54 I'd try.

00:55 I'm not a buyer, I'm not a buyer on this one.

00:55 That's okay because lucky for us,

00:57 we're in this bacon boom

00:58 where everything is bacon.

01:00 It feels like yes, this soda,

01:01 but there are also healthier bacons popping up

01:04 and the big question is,

01:05 could they be as good as the real thing?

01:07 We wanna put this to the test.

01:09 I know Alex, you have some strong opinions

01:11 about where bacon belongs.

01:12 Big opinions, tall opinions.

01:14 I just don't wanna be here

01:15 and not have you guys know how I feel.

01:17 I know, I know.

01:18 Be honest with us.

01:19 I like to be really clear and say it with food.

01:21 Okay, food is love and bacon is just

01:24 at the heart of the conversation.

01:25 The heart.

01:26 I like that.

01:27 I like how you got that in there.

01:29 This Valentine's Day, say it with bacon.

01:31 Say it with bacon.

01:32 Exactly, exactly.

01:33 All right, so you're gonna try to sell us

01:34 some other things 'cause I am a serious purist

01:36 when it comes to bacon.

01:38 I actually, as you can see,

01:41 I'm a little bit with you.

01:42 I feel like the classic bacon,

01:43 it is salty, it is fatty, it is crispy,

01:46 it's versatile, it is delicious just like this,

01:48 but we don't want you guys to have any food fear

01:51 so today we are gonna go hog wild.

01:54 A nice one.

01:55 Okay, nice one.

01:55 (audience applauding)

01:59 In all honesty, because I do love the real thing.

02:01 Pass the bacon.

02:02 My question for you is, of these healthier options,

02:04 I feel like a lot of people will go on the menu

02:06 and they'll order the turkey bacon,

02:07 they'll make that choice thinking

02:08 they're doing something really good for themselves.

02:10 My question is, is turkey bacon worth it?

02:13 Is it worth passing that bad boy up?

02:15 Just to get Alex's happiest worth of it, yes.

02:17 We'll do a turkey bacon, pork bacon,

02:19 head to head comparison.

02:20 Pork bacon, right, basically,

02:22 you got the pork belly, right?

02:23 You smoke it, you don't put the witch's lips in it,

02:25 you smoke it on top of the wood chips.

02:26 Then you gotta cure it.

02:27 You can cure it with either the sodium nitrate

02:29 or celery powder, they both sort of do the same thing,

02:31 one's not better than the other that we can tell.

02:33 And then you add a little sugar to it,

02:34 they actually put some of that.

02:35 Turkey bacon, right, is dark and light meat,

02:38 you get a little bit of both,

02:39 then you spice it up, right,

02:41 in order to make it taste like bacon,

02:42 and then you press it into a form that looks like this,

02:45 after you've added a little bit of liquid smoke to it,

02:47 'cause it won't actually taste quite the same.

02:48 Well, don't skip that.

02:49 The pork belly.

02:50 Oh.

02:51 But they can go with wood chips

02:52 or with liquid smoke is what they use in the turkey bacon,

02:55 so it's a little bit more synthetic.

02:57 Like the--

02:58 Yeah, I'm sorry, I only say that because they gotta add salt

03:00 in order to make it taste right.

03:02 So it's more processed, and we don't like processed food,

03:04 so bacon is the answer.

03:05 Yeah.

03:06 But--

03:07 (audience cheering)

03:08 Oh, time out.

03:09 Before we jump to that conclusion,

03:11 for a one ounce serving,

03:12 which roughly for the size of slices

03:14 that you guys would normally eat,

03:15 is about one strip of bacon.

03:17 This is not one ounce.

03:19 This is like one gram.

03:20 Okay, but this is an ounce.

03:21 That's an ounce, actually.

03:22 It's a little bit larger, but listen.

03:24 So these, you compare them head to head,

03:25 25 less calories per turkey bacon strip.

03:28 So my vote is if you think they both taste fine to you,

03:32 have a turkey bacon.

03:33 If you prefer the original pork bacon, I'd go with that,

03:36 which is what I personally like to do,

03:37 and in our family, we're pork people.

03:39 (audience cheering)

03:40 Wow.

03:41 Okay, wait, so to clarify,

03:43 there are fewer calories in the turkey bacon,

03:46 but it's also more processed.

03:48 More salt.

03:49 More salt.

03:49 More sodium.

03:50 So in theory, you would choose the one that makes you happier.

03:52 No, it's not.

03:53 I'm not knowing these things.

03:54 So my dad says we are pork people,

03:56 and I have to say, I think my dad, me,

03:58 and my brother Oliver would all choose the regular bacon,

04:00 but my mother and my sisters are vegetarians,

04:03 so we have like seitan bacon and all kinds of fun little,

04:07 there are other non-meat alternatives also,

04:09 but this show's kind of full

04:12 of all those non-meat alternatives,

04:13 and the real thing too, guys, don't worry.

04:15 The internet is blowing up with these new solutions

04:18 to the how do we get a healthier bacon problem.

04:20 People are really focused on this

04:22 because bacon is, I think, America's most beloved food.

04:25 Fakin' are these fake bacons made from veggies.

04:28 We have a few different options out here

04:29 for all of us to try.

04:31 So we have an eggplant version there,

04:33 and also, like, mushroom bacon.

04:36 So an eggplant bacon.

04:38 Eggplant fakin'.

04:39 You don't get any.

04:40 (laughing)

04:41 I'm on punishment.

04:42 Look how crispy this is.

04:43 Can you see this?

04:44 Wow.

04:45 That's really good.

04:46 (audience applauding)

04:47 I'm not mad at this at all, this is good.

04:48 It's pretty good.

04:48 I kind of feel like I'm cheating on pork bacon

04:50 by eating this fakin'.

04:52 I'm having a fair on that.

04:52 Yeah, but it's nice to date around,

04:53 you know what I mean?

04:54 I got options.

04:55 There we go.

04:56 (audience applauding)

04:57 I got options.

04:58 I actually like this.

04:59 I thought I was gonna be skeptical about this,

05:01 but I feel like we're giving this the taste test,

05:03 and we're all coming out on the side of it.

05:04 I like it.

05:05 It's not bad.

05:06 I like what it looks like, bacon.

05:07 These don't look like bacon, although I love mushrooms.

05:09 Yeah.

05:10 Those are just sauteed mushrooms,

05:11 but this is, I could go with this and call it bacon.

05:13 That's a good buy.

05:14 Do you wanna see how we made this bacon,

05:15 this true bacon?

05:16 Yeah.

05:17 (audience applauding)

05:18 It tastes great.

05:19 I feel like it tastes good.

05:20 Mm, I like the eggplant, too.

05:21 Give me a plate of this.

05:23 (upbeat music)

05:26,

05:28,

05:33 I liked it.

05:58 I can eat a plate of this, I think.

06:01 And you have one more to show us,

06:02 Jordan, what's happening.

06:03 I have one more fake in here,

06:04 and you'll never guess the ingredient

06:07 or what it's made out of.

06:08 Everybody's taking these.

06:09 When you say you'll never guess,

06:10 I immediately wanna know.

06:11 I need to.

06:12 So take a piece.

06:13 Okay, let's analyze.

06:14 Let's analyze.

06:15 Let's analyze.

06:16 Potato, maybe?

06:17 Oh no, oh wait, it's coming to me.

06:18 Hold on.

06:19 It's like you know it is.

06:20 It's good.

06:21 It's transparent.

06:22 Potato.

06:23 Any guesses, any guesses?

06:24 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

06:26 Chicken skin?

06:28 Any more guesses?

06:28 It feels like a skin.

06:30 It tastes like chicken skin.

06:31 But it's seasoned really well.

06:32 Bananas?

06:33 You ready for the reveal?

06:34 What?

06:35 Like a plantain or something?

06:37 No!

06:38 Are you ready?

06:39 Yeah.

06:40 Okay, this is what this is.

06:41 What is that?

06:43 Excuse me?

06:43 Is it written on here?

06:44 It's rice paper.

06:45 No.

06:46 Rice paper?

06:47 Rice paper bacon.

06:48 (audience cheering)

06:50 Are you serious?

06:51 I mean, if you put me here for three days

06:54 in a room with this, I would never.

06:56 I would've never guessed.

06:56 I would never guess.

06:57 They cut it like this?

06:59 They cut it with a scissor, I guess.

07:01 Now you realize how much of the bacon is the spices.

07:04 Oh my goodness, this is really good.

07:06 This is shockingly good.

07:07 It's really good.

07:08 This I really like.

07:09 I'm really agree with you.

07:10 Nice spices.

07:11 If you told me this was chicken skin, I'd believe you.

07:13 That's how good rice paper bacon is.

07:13 It's got a chicken skin vibe.
