Come on, follow us!

Hello!

Hi!

Hi there!

Hi!

Good morning, Mr. Grouper!

Good morning, everyone!

But today, please call me Chef Grouper!

-Chef Grouper? -Okay!

What's cookin' chef?

I'm glad you asked!

Voila!

Ooo, snacks! Now we're talkin'.

Are these for us, Mr- Chef Grouper?

Yep. And I think they're really gonna tickle your tastebuds.

Tastebuds? What are tastebuds?

Taste buds are little bumps on your tongue

that tell you how your food tastes.

ALL: Wow!

Yep!

And I've got five different tastes here for you to try!

We have sweet strawberries,

salty pretzels,

bitter broccoli...

And sour lemons!

[all laugh]

And there's one last taste, umami.

Whose mommy?

No. No.

Umami.

It's the special taste of things like mushrooms,

meats, and cheeses.

I like cheese.

A lot.

Me too, Nonny!

Let's think some more about the way foods taste!

Some foods taste sweet, like...

Strawberries!

Right! Strawberries!

Lots of fruits are sweet.

And some fruits taste sour, like...

Lemons!

Yup! Lemons are sour!

And some vegetables taste bitter

like broccoli and...

Celery!

Yep. Celery is bitter, too.

Food is tasty!

We're chefs!

In a truck!

A food truck!

Beep beep!

Once upon a time...

...there were two chefs who traveled from town to town

selling tasty food from their food truck.

Taste Buddies!

DEEMA: They had food for every taste

salty, sour,

bitter, sweet,

and even food with that special umami taste!

Thanks, Taste Buddies!

You're welcome!

DEEMA: Everywhere they went,

people loved the Taste Buddies' tasty food.

Until one day...

Hey look, there's another town up ahead!

Next stop- Bland Land!

Bland Land?

Why is everyone so glum?

ANNOUNCER: Breakfast today will be a loaf of bland bread,

as will lunch.

Tonight's dinner will also be bland bread.

This message brought to you by Baron von Bland.

Whoa.

This land really is bland.

When your food is bland,

it means it doesn't have any taste.

Good thing we're here!

These people could really use something tasty to eat.

Totally!

Taste Buddies!

Hi everybody!

Step right up and place your order

at the Tasty Truck!

[all scream]

Hello, sir!

Can I interest you in something to tickle your tastebuds?

Me? Oh, no, no, why would you say that?

I only eat bland bread!

Why doesn't anybody want to try our food?

Because it's against the rules.

Tasty food is against the rules?

Yes.

I mean- Yes.

Whose rules?

The Baron von Bland.

He only eats Bland Bread so we only eat Bland Bread.

Would you like a sample?

Ugh! It's got no taste!

It's so plain. And-

BARON: Bland.

What's going on down there?

NONNY: Outsiders, Baron.

They call themselves the Taste Buddies.

Yes!

And we've come to serve some tasty-

Silence!

Uh, it does look kinda tasty...

Well, we don't do tasty around here.

Guards! Seize their truck!

Gilly, I think we should get out of here.

After them!

[chanting "Bland"]

[chanting "Bland"]

In here! Hurry!

[chanting "Bland"]

Okay, coast is clear.

Thanks for helping us!

[sniffs]

Pee-you-ski!

What's that smell?

[sighs]

Welcome to my rotten food pile.

Why do you have a rotten food pile?

It wasn't always like this.

Check it out.

Whoa!

Look at all those beautiful fruits and vegetables!

Yeah.

People used to love all the tasty food from my garden,

until the Baron said it was against the rules.

So now, everything I grow, I just have to...

Throw away.

That's terrible!

How can the Baron hate all this tasty food?

Easy. He's never tried it.

Gilly, that's it!

We have to make something so tasty,

the Baron will have to try it!

Well, you've certainly come to the right place!

We need your help to make a fruit salad!

Let's start with grapes and bananas.

Now, let's add some sweet watermelon!

Next we could add pineapple...

Mmm!

Or lemons.

Which of these tastes sweet?

The pineapple!

Pineapple tastes sweet!

Pineapple! Yeah!

Mmm! Thanks for your help!

Wow. That fruit salad looks tasty!

I hope the Baron thinks so!

Let's go, Gilly!

Thank you!

Good luck!

Meanwhile, at the Baron's Bland Bread Factory...

ANNOUNCER: Attention. The Baron is coming.

I repeat. The Baron is coming.

Quick! Prepare the samples!

Ahh!

Bland bread?

How is it, sir?

Bland. Just how it should be.

Baron, we caught these two.

They were carrying a delicious,

uh, I mean, non-delicious fruit salad.

Yes, it doesn't look sweet and delicious at all.

We know that if you'll just try it-

Why would I ever choose to eat this sweet fruit salad

when I can have bland bread all day long?

Uh. I'd try it, if you let me.

Zip it!

We do not try new things around here.

Please, sir...

We made it ourselves.

Oh, you made it?

Well then...

You'll have no problem making bland bread from now on.

Put these "Taste Buddies" on the bread line

with the others.

DEEMA: Molly and Gil had no truck,

no tasty food

and had been forced to work

in Baron Von Bland's bread factory...

What are we going to do, Molly?

I don't know, but we have figure out

a way to get out of here.

Excuse me.

What time is it?

It's time for lunch.

- ♪ What time is it? - ♪ It's time for lunch!

♪ What time is it?

♪ It's time for lunch! ♪

- ♪ What time is it? - ♪ It's time for lunch!

- ♪ It's lunch time! - ♪ Hey, what's for lunch?

I got bland bread for lunch again.

I got bland bread, too.

Yup.

I got bland bread too.

Bland bread?

That's not silly!

Or tasty.

Shh!

I'm sick of eating bland bread every day!

Yeah. You know, bland bread wouldn't be so bad

if you could just put something tasty on it.

Totally!

See? Even they're sick of bland bread!

You guys, that's it!

That's how we can get the Baron to try our tasty food.

What do you mean?

All we've got to do is put our tasty food

on his bland bread.

Like a sandwich?

Yes, a sandwich!

But all of our tasty food is in our truck.

Well, we know where your truck is.

You do?

Uh-huh.

But there's no way to leave the factory!

Too bad we can't hide in a giant loaf of bland bread.

We're gonna need a lot of dough.

Huh?

DEEMA: And so, the Taste Buddies

hid inside a giant loaf of bland bread...

...in order to sneak out of the factory

and find their truck.

Be as quiet as you can!

Hello.

What's in the truck?

Bland bread.

What else would it be?

Open the back, please.

See?

Just your ordinary, giant loaf of bland bread.

It looks a little large.

Yeah. Extra large.

BARON: Extra, extra large!

In fact, that's the biggest, blandest loaf of bread

I've ever seen!

Heh. Thank you, Baron.

Well, time to deliver it.

Of course.

But before you go...

Cut me a slice of that loaf.

Did he just say slice?

DEEMA: The Baron was about to slice

into the giant loaf of bland bread,

with Molly, Gil and Bubble Puppy inside!

Ah!

What the- what?

Run!

What? After them!

-Yes, your Blandness! -Stop!

[chanting "bland"]

[siren wails]

[chanting "bland"]

[chanting "bland"]

[chanting "bland"]

Do you ever feel like someone's watching us?

All the time.

Your truck should be in here somewhere.

[barks]

The truck is in here, boy?

-Our truck! -All right!

Good boy, Bubble Puppy!

Pee-you-ski!

Everything's rotten!

There's no way we can make a sandwich now.

DEEMA: Can you make a sandwich with this?

-Oh yeah! -Absolutely!

We need your help!

We're going to make the Baron

a turkey and cheese sandwich.

We've got two slices of cheese,

two slices of turkey,

and two slices of the Baron's favorite...

Bland bread.

Now we need two slices of tomato and some lettuce.

Which group has two slices of tomato

and one piece of lettuce?

This one?

Or this one?

That one!

There!

That's right!

We've got what we need for the Baron's sandwich!

Thanks for your help!

Wow, what a sandwich.

The Baron will definitely want to taste that!

The Taste Buddies are back in business!

Let's go!

DEEMA: And so, the Taste Buddies

hurried to bring their tasty sandwich to the Baron...

Stop right there!

We're looking for the Baron!

Tell him the Taste Buddies are here!

We've got something tasty for him to try.

The Taste Buddies? Again?

I told you I'm not trying anything.

Well, what if it was made with your favorite food,

bland bread?

Bland bread? Really?

We call it... A sandwich.

[all gasp]

Sandwich...

Looks tasty.

Yeah. If you're not gonna try it, I will.

BARON: Stop!

I'm coming down.

I'm coming!

Wait a minute...

I'm coming.

Okay, I'll try it.

But just one bite.

So?

It's...

Tasty!

[all cheer]

This is the best thing I've ever tasted.

-Tasty! -Finally!

So, can I have a bite?

Well, I...

CROWD MEMBER: Yeah! We want tasty food, too!

Do you have more food?

We only made one sandwich.

CROWD MEMBER: Well, I want a bite!

Yeah, I've never had anything tasty!

I could eat!

We need more tasty food!

[musical horn honks]

Did someone call for some tasty food?

'Cause we've got all the tastes.

Sweet!

Salty!

Bitter!

Sour!

[all cheer]

[musical horn honks]

And you can call me...

Umami Nonny.

I'm hard to define...

But always delicious.

[all cheer]

I think this town is going to be a lot tastier from now on.

Especially with some new Taste Buddies!

[all cheer]

Wait! Wait!

Attention people of Bland Land!

This land is bland no more,

I am changing the name to...

Tasty Town!

[all cheer]

DEEMA: And so, from then on,

the people of Tasty Town

enjoyed all kinds of foods that were sweet,

salty, bitter, sour...

...and umami.

And they all lived happily ever after.

[all cheer]

Taste Buddies!
