[@teamweavertv]

As a former fast food worker, the reason the cheese was “upside down” on the McGriddles is because the heat from the sausage melts the cheese while they’re wrapping the sandwiches 😅

[@Erhnam_Djinn]

But why would it melt upwards though?

[@teamweavertv]

During the McGriddles portion of the episode, the platform they put the food on is COVERED in dust. As they put the McGriddles down you can see they pick up portions of that dust and is then placed into the mouths of Rhett and Link. The dust layer magically disappears for the second food judgment

[@AlphaMachina]

Yeah, that was gross. The interns are slackin'!

4:35 as an ex fast food employee i have the answer for your question; the reason the cheese is going up instead of down is because when the sandwich is wrapped up the cheese is squished up againt the sandwich and in travel cools down so now the cheese that WOULD have melted downward upon geting it in the restraunt has now squished up on the sides and hardened to what you see now when u unwrap it at home :)
