How Fast Do Snacks Go Stale?

[@Yrenne]

Rhett, who usually eats anything that's put in front of him, is surprisingly picky about the freshness of food, whereas Link seems mostly okay with everything that's "stale".

[@sherr6847]

link is a stale and bland man

[@ecmphg]

The duality of dads.

[@claytondurst4075]

That might be because Link wasn’t even trying the fresh food for reasons only understood by himself.

[@Kev_Shmev]

Because Rhett has tastebuds that work. Link’s are questionable. 😂

[@normalman8447]

He prefers fresh food... So picky... 😂😂😂

[@mr.peppermint9531]

Lately link has been taking the smallest possible bites of stuff and skipping eating where he can. I think he must be counting calories and is being overly strict. That's my guess at least

Link's strategy is spot on imo. He's exactly right, the fresh one will make the old one's faults more obvious. Then again, I find myself agreeing with a lot of what he does and says when everyone else thinks it's odd.

[@theFabul]

Sorry, Rhett, but I actually agree with Link’s strategy on this one 😆. The point isn’t to compare the tastes to the fresh one, it’s to see if you would still eat the stale one if that was all you had.

[@arianeponicelli9115]

no that is the point. they're trying to see what upholds freshness. the point is to compare it to the fresh one to see how well it upholds
