[@melissagarrett1131]

This is the comment of the day. 🎉

[@Yourfriendmegan]

I feel like Rhett always TRIES to pick the fanciest or in this case trendiest one. I like that Link just chooses the one he likes.

[@pamelaellis2706]

Yeah Link

[@meda2325]

I feel the opposite, that Rhett picks whatever he actually enjoys and Link just picks whatever he think is the cheapest possible option 💀

[@littlepumpkinseed]

Or or rhett likes the refined tastes because he loves tasting and expanding his food knowledge. Link has a smaller pallet, he likes the blander things. Which coincidently are the cheapest :') they present too type of food eating people I like how they are the opposite

[@huntercobb9552]

I feel like so many of Link’s subtle jokes go unnoticed “and they made it clear too” sent me and no one else laughed🤣

[@Nakia11798]

It's how deadpan he says it.

[@ReiraJam]

Rhett going on about the opaqueness of the olive oil bottle and Link's just like THIS ONE'S GOT A BIG TREE ON IT

[@ThatsPrettyFunnyMan]

or THIS ONE GOT A COW ON IT

[@Nakia11798]

It's like car people vs. the rest of us picking by how it looks and feels.

[@kendall9973]

I’m formally requesting that Rhett and Link, have to use those cups that they used for the coffee, for every other drink testing. Lol seeing them hold their hands up so fancy-like tickled me

[@thejustinwestra]

Sometimes it seems like Rhett is just looking for whichever one tastes the fanciest to call his favorite, whereas Link goes solely based on taste.

[@RogueMinato]

I honestly think the same. Like in the ice cream he didn't look like he liked it and yet chose it as his favorite

[@amypierce6072]

I think he unintentionally tricks his brain into believing that it tastes better because he wants to be a fancy boy 😂

[@nilanjasa007]

Except the ice cream one, how could other food items be fancy tasting?

[@phiten40]

I'm convinced Link has the taste buds of a toddler

[@waynestrange]

Or the much more logical conclusion, Link’s taste is horrendous, and Rhett is picking the one that tastes the best.

[@wateryourcermet]

Rhett: “I’m not picking the trendy items because I like that they’re trendy. I’m picking them cause they’re in the moment of what’s happening.” Me: 🤔

[@SSDGM26.2]

Now I’m craving fancy olive oil and bread!!!!

[@chelseahawk8396]

As someone who consistently chooses the cheapest olive oil at the store, I did NOT realize there was so much nuance behind olive oil. 😅

[@Hok7a]

I also do this just because its reeally hard to find a *bad* olive oil

[@chelseahawk8396]

@@Hok7a Yeah I feel like it all tastes the same to me but I guess I just don’t have a refined palate?

[@Toastybees]

​@@chelseahawk8396 Unless you're tasting them side by side olive oil loses a lot of its aroma when cooked, it really only matters when using it as a finishing oil or a dip.

[@AE-ld9ck]

Yea, biggest factor for it is if you make your own sauces or dressings, I like to mix my own vinaigrette for salad or pasta. Generally, I like a fruitier vinegar (I think my current one is rose’) with olive oil (any dark bottled Italian option really) and some seasonings. Otherwise, for just coating a pan we use the basic stuff in a plastic bottle as a “neutral” oil. 😄

[@chelseahawk8396]

@@AE-ld9ck Ok see now I do make a vinaigrette myself so maybe I do need to step up my olive oil game…

[@familiarfilms8939]

I love that Link still brings up the "go all the way down" saying from a few years back! Cool that he keeps it going

[@sturmdr]

I love the Rhett, “and here’s why I guessed that round correctly” explanation.

[@mariomurcia7509]

hes like an anime protag at the end of the fight explaing how he outsmarted the villain

[@noodlepig87]

Rhett tries to hard to be correct rather than going with his instincts like link.

[@sarahz6917]

I really loved this game! I hope to see it again. The packaging always influences if I try a new food product! 😊

[@heatheraggus7501]

Where it is placed on the shelf does too!

[@anniinavanhatalo1993]

You guys should make a taste testing video for mushroom products. Like mushroom chips and coffee!

[@mollyricee]

can we get more of these pleeease?! i'm a fool for good packaging. i loved this video

[@orsonmoniz]

what did i learn? Link just goes with what he truly likes best, while rhett was obviously trying to match the packaging with the product based on subtle clues. he even said he found something funny about the third icecream yet figured thats probably the tahitian bean and hence chose it lol. is he getting to that age where the ultra competitiveness isnt cute anymore?

[@prod.bigkelbly5403]

Rhett slowly turned into someone you’d see at a festival

[@nicksmith3907]

Idk, Rhett always seems like he is looking for the one that he chose that way he can be right. First he likes the the second one and then all of a sudden when he tastes something he read on the package he selected, he all of a sudden likes that the best lol peak entertainment
