What are the most popular snack flavors in the world? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. We're in the business of snacks. Well, of eating snacks, to clarify. And while we have our own personal favorite flavors, we often find ourselves in bed late at night wondering, "What are the most popular flavors in the world?" So we're going to find out by playing hockey. It's time for Eated Rivalry. We've turned the set into a hockey rink again. Woop woop. You know, like we do. It's so cold in here. Meghan, you did the research for this episode. Remind us how it goes. Yes, hello. According to our internet research, these are the three best-selling Gatorade flavors in the world. You must guess which is the world's best-selling flavor by shooting pucks into the corresponding nets. Points will be won accordingly, but remember, the other guy will get to guard the net he thinks represents the best answer. Of course. I'm glad to see that Cool Blue is up there. I'm very... I'm a big fan of the blue. And this is- Oh, thanks for the straws ... this is why there's straws. Yeah. Boy, those are some thin straws. Well, they gotta get through these holes in our masks. You like Cool Blue? Mm. It, it's a newer flavor. I mean, yeah- Yeah ... newer than the one- Back- ... that came out in the '60s ... back when I did recreation soccer, I, I only had this, and this is still my go-to. This is orig'. This is back when it was developed for the Florida football team. I have so much nostalgia for this. It just makes me wanna- Mm ... s- just, just kick two goals with my left foot in one game, right? Yep. But that's the wrong sport. I do not- Wrong sport, Neal. I do not like Fruit Punch Gatorade. Never liked it. Mm. I've just always thought that it's not sporty enough. It's, it's not that I don't like the taste, it's just not appropriate for sport. Fruit Punch is not- Yeah ... appropriate for sports? Fruit Punch, it's more for celebration or relaxation. It's a celebratory drink? Yeah. Interesting. For, like, dances? Like punch bowls? Yeah, like s- samba night. Uh, Link, you won last time, so you get to be goalie first. All right. Huh. Did I not wear any more pads last time? Well- I feel like- ... the- these ain't gonna hurt you. These ain't gonna hurt you. These ain't gonna hurt you. Lemon Lime. Oh, man, the most popular flavor? I mean- Let me- wouldn't you think that the thing that was the thing that, that started it all was the most popular? So this is where you want me, huh? That's- You're trying to get me there. I'm just saying it feels like that's... It might be blue, though. I, I don't think it's fruit punch because people like me. Okay. It seems like you're... Oh, dang it. Dang it. All right. You got, you got two more tries. This is my problem. I faked you out and it didn't even work. Okay. Figure it, figure it out. Hold on. And then... Maybe I can get right in between his legs. Okay, there we go. Why are you going for fruit punch? Because I see all the kids with the red drinks. Go for it, man. I don't care. You don't think it's fruit punch? Obviously not. I think it, I think it's lemon lime, but you're in the way of lemon lime. You think it's cool blue? Yeah, come on in. Yeah, got in there. No, it's out. Okay, it didn't cross. Okay, so I got two, two fruit punch. I scored, I scored that fruit punch for you. I think that fruit punch is number two, but you're in the way of lemon lime. You were in the way of lemon lime. Mm-hmm. You think it's cool blue, I see you thinking that. So you, you're taking the coward position in the middle? Just like me. Oh, no. I got it. No. A complete shut out. Shut out. Woo! What? All right, my strategy of going fast didn't work. Okay. Well, dookie. Well. Link, you did so great last time. What happened? Well, we're just getting started. Just getting started. And plus, he was wrong about fruit punch. Yeah. So, I'm not scared. Well, let's see. Okay, in 2021 someone at Gatorade shared an internal sales memo with the internet revealing the most popular flavors in the US. Beginning with the third most popular, which I think is controversial, we have lemon lime for one point. Oh, no. Followed by fruit punch for two points. Whoa. Meaning the best-selling is cool blue for three points. It was cool blue. Wowzers. I thought people were afraid of this. That's a testimony to innovation. Now we have the three most commonly ordered McDonald's menu items, but which is the most popular? Well, this is a Big Mac. I've never seen a Big Mac cut in half. It could've been cut more. I think I can s-... Uh-huh. I figured out a trick. Lift your helmet. Yeah. Could've been doing that the whole time. I mean, Big Mac's signature. But don't more people like nuggets? I would think so. I mean, definitely, right? Kids don't eat Big Macs. Fries. Kids eat french fries. 100%. Oh, yeah. French fries seem to be the most successful food you're eating through your mask. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Could've used a napkin. So even masked men eat fries. Okay. Well, I just need a napkin. I just need a napkin because I feel like I'm gonna ... I'm, my stick's gonna slip right out of my hands. You need a napkin? Yes, sir. All right. 'Cause this is, this is not just any rivalry. It's Eated. You know, if this was a few years ago- I'm gonna use this as a mouth guard now ... if this was a few years ago, Link- Uh-huh ... this, this would've been a Yeeted Rivalry. Remember those days? Yep. Yep. Remember when we ... Everything, everything was yeeted. I remember those days. We didn't go a day without saying that something was yeeted. So clearly, beyond any shadow of any reasonable doubt, french fries are the best-selling thing at McDonald's. 'Cause they go with everything. Everybody likes them. They're a side. And everybody loves them. And clearly, the second most ordered thing is McNuggets. Big Mac, I'm ac- I'm even surprised that Big Mac is one of- one of the burgers that's on there. I would've thought it was a cheeseburger or the Quarter Pounder. Is it worth going for it? My hands are still greasy. What are we gonna try to do here? We're gonna try to slip past the Linkster. Oh, nice. Oh, that was a good block. Nice. Nice, 'cause I was trying to fake you out, but I gotta go all the way to the edge of that one. I gotta go to all the way to the edge. Edge. Or ... Right. Oh. Oh. Get that crap out of here. Get that crap out of here. I got one Big Mac. I gave you a shutout. Nope. My Big Mac hit the back. One Big Mac. Oh, yeah, I get to go. Woo. I kinda felt like it was over because it was such a, such an amazing showing. Whoa, look at y- I mean, that's desperate, dude. I gotta figure out how to, how to hold the, how to hold the stick. Oh. Oh. Here we go. All right, one in McNuggets. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Two in McNuggets. I'm gonna rack it up unless he changes his ... Am I gonna get greedy? Am I gonna get greedy? Yes. No, you're not. No. Oh, dang, that was so close. Did that hit you in the nut? Yeah, nuts. Hit me in the nuggets. I got both of your nuggets. Don't do that, now come on. Everybody needs to calm down. We're so heated. Yeah, now kiss. Who said that? Okay. Well, I was thinking about it. You go sensual, I go gross. All right, we found this data from multiple sources, starting with the third best-selling item is the Big Mac. Yep. The second is McNuggets, and the first is fries. Oh, yeah. Alert of urgency.

All right, for this round we're gonna open up the parameters a little bit. Right. These are the top three selling potato chips in the world. But which could possibly be the most popular? In the world? In the world. Wow. So Ruffles does get in the mix. Ruffles is not made by Lay's, I believe. But Lay's made Wavy to compete with Ruffles. That makes sense. Did they do that because they were falling behind in the world rankings? I never eat these. Me neither. But I do eat these, but only the flavored ones. Hm. It makes sense that none of them are flavored- Hm to be the most popular. Huh. These Wavy ones from Lay's are a lot saltier than the Ruffles. I noticed that. Like, it almost- That's very potato-y ... it almost feels twice as salty. I've still got a one point lead, Link. Okay, you made up a lot of ground in that last round, my friend. I'm gonna see what he's gonna say here, but... What if I say nothing? You know, if Lil Jon played this game it would be skeeted rivalry. Did you say, like, the guy from Robin Hood? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or the Yeah. You talking about- Robin Hood ... Yeah. Robin Hood. Oh. Okay, so you are, you're firmly in front of classic, which, boy- Yeah ... it does feel like the right choice. But this is worldwide. Oh, you wanna talk about feelings? Well, then I'm gonna talk about the sweat dripping down my... Never mind. Yes. Man. They're, they're so classic. They're so classic, but I think the world likes Ruffles! But they also like... Oh, hold on. I, I got one in classic, but I hit two at the same time. You did two. Judges, I didn't mean to do that. No, no, no. Well, you did it. Okay, but one of them went in classic. I'll take it. Okay. I am seeing stars. I need to put my helmet between my legs. Yep. He's gonna be okay, everybody. Okay. All right, I'm good. Okay, so I got one- I'm moving, I'm moving around too quick ... one Ruffles and one classic. Nobody's going for Lay's wavy 'cause I'm not either. Or am I? Oh. Oh, the fake-a-roo. The fake-a-roo. Fake-a-rooskie. He's really camping out over there. Yeah. Giving me complete... Oh! Oh. Complete... I m- I missed my opportunity for Ruffles, but I'm not gonna get striked out. Oh. Oh. Just missed it. Oh. Oh, okay. So I had to get down. Okay. One Ruffle. Hey, I'm getting light-headed. Rhett's kicking them over here. I'm getting light-headed. I gotta put my head between my legs. Did, seriously? Yeah, you hit- Is that happening to both of us? Here, stay, stay down there. I'll talk to you under here. You doing okay? Oh, my helmet's about to come off. Oh. You doing okay? Okay, I'm fine. You guys okay? Yeah. We're fine, it's a bit. Okay. Uh, according to consumer data, uh, consumer survey data, the third-best selling potato chip is Ruffles. Oh! What? No. Yeah. Yes. The second is wavy Lay's, meaning the first is Lay's Classic. Yeah. Wow, and I didn't see that coming. I feel bad for Ruffles. Yeah, Ruffles. They're better. They're only the third-best selling chip in the world. All right, that last round was a little controversial, so we went to the replay booth to see if Rhett's shot into the wavy was actually in there, and it was. Hold on, what? So we're giving you an additional two points into the wavy net. Are you telling me my double shot actually scored on both goals? Yes. I'm sorry, man. Just, just shh. I didn't, I, you know- Shh ... I didn't even mean to. Shh, shh. I really- Shh, shh ... it's really, it was just- It's getting too heated ... it's just so lucky. It's getting too heated. It was just so lucky. It's getting too heated. I will make out with you if you don't shut up. Loser has to invite the winner to the cottage. That must be a plot point. That means- Um- ... that means I get a cottage. All right, let's, uh, move on to Girl Scout cookies. Uh, did you guys know I wasn't a Girl Scout? W- wasn't? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You don't, you don't play well with others? No. I did individual sports. Okay. That's the, uh- A lot of coconut on that. The Caramel DeLite. They call that a ... We called that something else growing up. They changed it. Now, this is the one that I like, of course. This is the one that I like. Hey, this is the one that I like. We can both like it, right? I just want to let you know that even though this is so heated, I really do care about you. And I value our friendship. Even though you're getting crushed, I'm not, it ain't over. Peanut butter breath. That was awkward. Not for me. Hm. Okay. That's good. And Thin Mints. These are ... I've never had one of these. They've changed these, too. They have, uh- Are they bigger? ... ridges around them. You never had a Thin Mint? Um, mint is for gum. You, you ate two together. That's what just happened. Oh, okay. Well, they were stuck together. It's a thin mint, not a thick mint. They were stuck together. Okay. Link? Oh, crap, dude. You're hurting, brother. You're hurting. But thi- and this is a, this is a difficult one. Maybe I should do my double shot. I don't know what my answer would be. Well, you know, I, I know something. If sheep were playing this game, it would be bleated rivalry. I want you to know that Nick said, "Oof." A lot of people don't know that's the sound that a sheep makes. Apparently- Is he trying to distract me with his dumb jokes? ... apparently Nick is one of those people. What are you trying to do here? Um, it's not Caramel DeLites. I think it's, I think it's Thin Mints. Whoa, I did it again, a double shot. What is wrong with me? And neither of them would've went in. All right. I like that. I'm gonna get that out of here. Door's wide open for you, Link. Yes. Ah, nutmegged. Got one in the peanut butter. Did he really think what he said, that Thin Mints are the one? Look at you getting all cute with it. I don't think it's Peanut Butter Patties. I think, I do think it's Thin Mints, because I hear so much about them. Oh, dang it. I need to hockey more. Okay. All right. Right over the top. Nice and gentile. Okay. Was that enough for me to do complete damage? Probably not. Get me out of here. All right. This info comes directly from the Girl Scouts website, so it's probably accurate. Would they lie? They wouldn't. That'd be weird. There's, I'm sure there's, like, a vow they take or something. Starting with the third best-selling item, peanut butter patties- No ... AKA Tagalongs. Yep, yep. The second is Caramel Delites, AKA Samoas. Oh, no. Oh, no. Uh-huh. And the first is Thin Mints, meaning Rhett won by one point. Oh, gosh. One singular point. So it really comes down to that, to the, to the review of the tape? It, it comes down to the replay, my friend. You got so lucky. I'm sorry, but what's about to happen to you is you're about to get hit with a puck. Wrong stick. You get him. This is a free shot, yeah, so no stick for you. Free shot. Free shot, no ball covering allowed. No, no. No ball covering allowed. No, I really don't wanna get hit in the balls. Oh, come on. Okay. But you hit my left ankle, so. Yeah. Take that.
