While appearing on Monday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, comedic power couple Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell teamed up for a round of 'Taste Buds,' where the husband-wife duo blindly sampled and described different foods to the other. For every snack guessed correctly, Shutterfly donated $1,000 to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. So, yeah, it was a high-stakes situation. Naturally, things blew up into a full-fledged screaming match, and frankly, it's everything.
After a rocky start—Kristen forgot the rules and announced, "It's oatmeal!" upon trying her first dish—the couple's competitive drive kicked in. When the Hello Bello founder dove head first into a plate of Cheetos, things really took a turn. Dax continued to miss Kristen's clues, and she took to shouting. "NO, it's a crunchy, crunchy after dinner snack! It's what we take to the sand dunes when we eat crappy food!" She then started comparing—or rather screaming—about their finger-like shape. "They look like fingers, they look like fingers," she yelled as her husband continued to guess standard chip flavors. Kristen even pretended to pull her wedding ring off and toss it across the room mid-fit, yelling, "They're bright orange and there's a big tiger that sells them!" However, once she correctly identified the brand mascot, a cheetah, Dax finally caught on. "There's a million things I would've described that as," he shot back. "Chester the...."
The game didn't end with the Cheetos round. The pair tasted popcorn, ketchup, a head of iceberg lettuce, olives, and even an unpeeled banana, which Kristen first guessed as eucalyptus. You've got to watch the clip to understand. By the end of the segment, the couple had racked up $8,000 worth of donations with their eight guesses, but in true DeGeneres form the host announced they would round up the charitable gift to $10,000.
The pair appeared on the show to promote their new plant-based baby line, Hello Bello, which is available for purchase online and exclusively at Walmart.
