The hosts of Good Mythical Morning conducted a taste test to find the most accurate sour cream and onion flavored snack. They started with a baseline of real sour cream and onion, then tasted and rated various snacks, including Pringles, Goldfish, Lay's potato chips, Special K crackers, Trader Joe's corn puffs, and cricket snacks. The results were as follows:
1. Crickets (9/10) - surprising winner, with a subtle but accurate flavor
2. Lay's potato chips (8/10) - initially considered the "Undisputed king" but dethroned by the crickets
3. Goldfish (7/10) - strong flavor but with a chemical aftertaste
4. Pringles (5/10) - weak flavor compared to the real thing
5. Special K crackers (2/10) - strong but unaccurate flavor
6. Trader Joe's corn puffs (1/10) - weak and inaccurate flavor
7. Hatchet popcorn seasoning (6/10) - accurate flavor but overpowered by the popcorn taste
