The stars of A Minecraft Movie faced a different kind of challenge off-screen as Emma Myers and Danielle Brooks ventured into the realm of sour candies for the latest episode of Suck It Up!. Their confidence was palpable at the outset, with Brooks asserting her prowess in handling sour flavors. “Ooh, how do I handle sour? I’m pretty good,” she declared, while Myers chimed in with her own experience, recalling a previous “warheads challenge.”
Confessions from the Set
However, as the rounds progressed, their bravado began to wane. When asked if they had ever taken something from the set, Brooks responded without hesitation, “Of course.” Myers nodded in agreement, revealing their little conspiracy: “We took our Xboxes.” Despite this admission, Brooks cleverly sidestepped the sour candy, stating, “I’m gonna say no I haven’t, so I don’t have to eat that candy again. Nope!”
The situation only escalated from there. By the final round, both co-stars were visibly sweating as they approached the last candy. “That is not gooey. Oh no, it is sticking,” Brooks remarked, her apprehension growing. Myers added, “That’s a bad flavor combo,” as they braced themselves for the taste test.
As they finally sampled the last round of sour treats, their reactions were immediate and visceral. “That’s disgusting, oh my god,” Brooks exclaimed, and both quickly resorted to gargling water. Yet, despite the unpleasant experience, they emerged with a sense of triumph. “We survived,” Brooks declared, while Myers echoed her sentiment, stating, “I feel great.” It was a moment of camaraderie, even if it followed a rather tumultuous tasting experience.
