[@luxrayblast]

I just realized it too. What a coincidence! Tom, Amy, Santi & Lee taking over the main Channels MatPat made, while he continues over on GTLive, after they were featured in the episode about how to win a food fight? Looks like MatPat had already discussed it with the team, then dropped it as an announcement on Game Theory. But, it's most likely he hadn't yet thought about retirement on May 28th 2023. Man, if only the new hosts could confirm or deny the idea of the channels being handed to them after this episode aired.

Another thing that could work is those juice ups, Specially grape juice, you could easily throw those to make them explode and grape juice creates some of the worst stains! They’re like grenades due to them being a one use but they can be really effective

[@4ragazzivendrame130]

I’ve actually been in a food fight where my team absolutely destroyed the other. We just got a bunch of strawberry milk cartons, opened the top then closed it. We then threw it to the ceiling above where our enemies were and the milk splattered all below onto them. By opening the carton, you make it so the milk is more likely to get poured everywhere, and by closing it again, you avoid it from exploding until it reaches it destination.

MY HIGH SCHOOL HAD OCCASIONAL FOOD FIGHTS! They were actually a serious problem. Basically, everyone would be talking, and then suddenly the cafeteria would get dead quiet. There would be an ominous feeling in the air, and then--BAM!--food would go flying everywhere. It was actually quite disgusting and I would always feel horrible for the staff that had to clean it up. Luckily, they figured out a solution: They started playing music throughout lunch. That prevented the room from getting quiet, which actually stopped the food fights from happening!

Speaking as someone who works in a school, I'm glad food fights don't really happen. Putting aside what the custodial staffs already have to put up with in schools these days (thank you TikTok), there are many poorer kids who depend on school meals as their main source of food. I don't want to encourage kids to waste what is the most important meal, if not sole meal, of some of their peers.

[@phillipclearman859]

It makes me wonder just how food fights became a trope in movies.

[@glitchninja689]

Though Matpat did give some good weapons or your food fight, here are some other weapons that might work good. Desserts: Ice cream: A very creamy snowball. Great for long distance and some snipes (Ranged Weapon) Pie: Self explanatory (Ranged and Melee Weapon) Cake/Cupcake: like a ice cream fused with pie. Also great for massive stains/damage on opponent. Also can be used as a banana peel. (Ranged and Melee Weapon) Jell-O: hear me out on this, but even though it can't really give any stains it works great as a slip trip. (Just hope you don't get caught) (Trap use) Muffin: Not the best or worst. Kinda dry weapon (Melee and Ranged Weapon) Snacks: Your packet of chips: Blow up the packet by clapping it. Works as a one use shotgun. (Ranged Weapon) Tangerines/Mandarins and Oranges: Perfect for a juicy blow. Not good for throwing though. (Trap and Melee Weapon) Biscuits/Cookies: When thrown, it gives not that much damage but if crumbled it works great. (Ranged Weapon) Fast Food/Lunch: Burgers and Sandwiches: Not the best when trying to do long distance shots but when thrown at a close distance it is great for a greasy shotgun. (Melee and Ranged weapon) Fried Chicken or Normal Chicken: First consume the meat or don't (your choice really). Dip the chicken into any available sauce. Throw it. Now it makes a good greasy and saucy weapon. (Ranged and Melee Weapon) Pizza slice: Can be both be thrown or used as a melee but melee is best option for damage and stains. (Ranged and Melee Weapon) Meatballs: Coming from the dangerous spaghetti, this ball of meat is saucy and greasy. (Ranged Weapon) Corndog: Not great for throwing, high risk of injury. Best used for melee. (Melee Weapon) Soup: Some of the most dangerous weapons. This bowl of liquid is dangerous if stained. But the bowl is good use for armor. (Armor and Ranged Weapon) Condiments: Spicy Mustard: Best for massive stain. Bonus points if in enemy's mouth (Ranged and Melee Weapon) Relish: Great for giving someone's stain a pain (Ranged Weapon) BBQ Sauce: similar reason to Ketchup (Ranged Weapon) Drinks: Orange juice: Both sticky and deadly (Ranged Weapon) Milkshake: Milk but more deadly and larger (Ranged Weapon) Lemonade: Just like an orange juice but a bit sour. (Ranged Weapon) Capri-sun: Highly sticky. Dangerous weapon. (Ranged Weapon) Now for the most deadliest weapons. Beware if you are hit by these two weapons: Stale Baguette: A literal sword. (Melee Weapon) Chewing gum: A lil piece of of this and catastrophe can happen. (Ranged and Melee) Writers note: This nearly took me 2 hours.

Just had a great idea for a food fight victory 1-When it starts,get the empty tray,condiments like ketchup,mayo or mustard 2-Drop below the table and flip over the benches to their side 3-Turn the Table into a heavily armored place by using the benches as walls,same with trays 4-Tables,trays and benches serve as armor while layed out as a pill box The Condiments or bottles you have serve as a good enough ofense 5-Now the table serves as a pillbox and if done right with your friends,a Food fight tanks 6-probably wont work and you will get targeted one way or another.

[@LadyAnaesthesia]

At my high school the words "Food Fight" were taboo. Even uttering them at a conversational level on the complete opposite side of the school from the cafeteria could land you in detention or in school suspension. As for soda, there were vending machines all over the place though most teachers had a no drinking in class rule, and the few that let you were idolized.

[@Riandora99]

My school was in a pretty rural area with a lot of low income families with major food insecurities. The school meals were the only meals the majority of the students ever ate so the idea of wasting any food was beyond taboo. If there was something someone was allergic to or just really didn't like we were constantly actively sharing and trading meal items. I have however bared witness to a number of literal brawls that almost always broke out in the cafeteria though. Not the same thing but interesting that they always took place there.

Even at the age/size the trays did little to shield us from juice boxes and chicken tetrazinni. We took cover behind the ice cream cooler (yes kids, you used to be able to buy ice cream at lunch, for 50¢!) We found the Drumsticks and Choco Tacos to hurt bad and fly far. That's the best by far.

Hey Theorist team! Reporting from Jamaica🇯🇲: My school used to allow sodas but when I got to grade 11, there was a policy that only allowed fruit drinks to be sold at schools. This was in hopes of reducing sugar intake in teens.

[@SentinalhMC]

The administration didn't know that those are basically identical when it comes to sugar content?

[@bigfoothunter8080]

I have, in fact, been pegged with a small ball of mashed potatoes. It was just as effective as you're expecting for throwability, but in my experience, that results in someone catching hands, not a slice of pizza to the face.

Video Suggestion: In Australia we have a hardware store called Bunnings and it is a tradition to have a "Bunnings Snag" when you visit on the weekend. This is a sausage in bread, typically with onion. This is a charity setup with proceeds going to girl guides, scouts, cancer council etc A few years ago they had a slip and fall caused by onions coming out of someones food and falling to the floor. They made it a policy that onions now needed to be under the sausage. I think this makes it taste different (like the burger order and I also think they cook them less and give you less as well.

My school’s cafeteria had regular fist fights, but no food fights.

[@mailmanbob5838]

I remember the food fight at my school. Several kids planned it. And I remember the cafeteria staff saying they should have caught it earlier. Especially since kids were walking out to the tables with trays covered with condiment cups full of ketchup and mustard. It lasted only a few minutes, but the room and kids were covered with red and yellow splatters.

[@cjsard4678]

Better than one that the class above us did. I had friends a grade above me that told me that there was a food fight where they had left milk to spoil in lockers before they planned to have one...

[@I.____.....__...__]

And were they forced to clean it, or was the poor underpaid janitor forced to stay late to clean it? 😠

My friends and I spent some entertaining hours plotting how we could use the interesting layout of our university cafeteria for the most epic food fight imaginable. Even came up with rules such as "if you participate, you stay to clean up" with an eye to keeping the administration happy.

[@Secarious]

My "food fights" in school was more me and friends light-heartedly fighting *over* food rather then throwing it around. Still resulted in equal amounts of food going every direction and boy it was fun.

[@jgog1]

I was in a food fight my freshman year of highschool. I think they don't do it because the person who was setting it up got arrested for inciting a riot, got suspended for a month, and lost his full ride scholarship he was set up for. No joke, his whole future was irrevocably changed from this 1 food fight. Dropped out of community college and works a lumber/landscaping job with his older brother. Still does well for himself but it's crazy to think where he might be now if he got that full ride.

[@LauraMauck86]

This episode makes me think of an old movie I watched with my parents and recently watched with my own kids it's called "The Great Race" has Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. There is a scene with a huge food fight with mainly cake. Tony Curtis's chracter is the "hero" chracter and he walks through the food fight without getting any cake on him. It's my favorite scene.

[@JTonyArts]

I was in a food fight at camp one year. It ended up with me running through the woods chasing people down with a hand pumped 5 gallon water tank on my back. And we were the counselors.

To win a food fight just get an apple, bang one side of it on the table so its bruised... then throw it as hard as you can at the other persons head. It will cause a nice splatter and concussion and you automatically win.
