The Choco Taco discontinuing was a genius marketing move and it's coming back

My other who's back is the Choco Taco. They said they're bringing it back. Stay woke. That was a genius movie. Choco Taco's going Morbin time. They just reminded everyone the Choco Taco rules and then everyone like pull it away.

While there were limited releases and high demand after the news, Klondike did actually discontinue the item as a mass-market staple.

Corn is a fruit and it will win the Mount Rushmore for Team Billy

Corn. Corn is a fruit. Can you guys believe that? An ear of corn is not technically a fruit. Instead, each kernel is a fruit. Exactly... I'm talking to the corn lovers of America. You're gonna vote for Team Billy because of corn... Trust in corn.

Hot TakeFoodScorchingSarcastic
Botanically, a kernel of corn is a caryopsis (a type of fruit), but in any culinary or common sense context, it is a vegetable or grain. Comedically, it's a ridiculous claim for a fruit draft.

I only get five minutes to eat. So I'm trying to get to get 50 [chicken fingers] down in the five minutes.

An Oreo is a frosting sandwich, not a cookie

If you took an Oreo and took, you know, the top part off, that single black chip is a cookie... What do you think Oreos are cookies? It's a frosting sandwich.

Oreo is legally and colloquially marketed as a 'sandwich cookie'.

Candy sent out for Heisman campaigns is good forever and will not expire.

I heard it's a good forever as lifelong candy... [Tom Fornelli] should be good. But if you get sick, you know, I didn't say anything.

While hard candy lasts a long time, most food items eventually expire or degrade in quality.

A restaurant cannot charge more than $12 for an entree if there are pictures on the menu

Is a restaurant classier if it has pictures on the menu? No. ... The minute they put a picture on the menu, they can't go past like $12 per [entree].

While a general rule in fine dining, chains like Cheesecake Factory successfully use menus with many images (or very dense descriptions) at higher price points, though Taffer notes they are an exception.

Bobby Valentine invented the wrap sandwich

He says he did. 100%. That was at Bobby V Sports 1977, 1978. 100% he came up with that thing... Bobby V 1000% invented the wrap.

While Valentine claims to have invented the 'wrap' as a branding term in the late 70s, rolled flatbread sandwiches have existed for centuries in many cultures.

London beer is served at room temperature except for Guinness

If you do go to London... they don't serve cold beer. It's all room temperature. So actually they have ice cold Guinness so hopefully you like Guinness. It's the only time I think I ever drink Guinness when I go to London.

While real ales are served warmer, lagers and 'extra cold' stout variants are widely available cold in London.

Drinking Rockin' Refuel without working out will make you put on a lot of weight

You put on a lot of weight if you just not work out with all that protein. So I think you have to do a little bit of something.

Protein alone does not cause significant weight gain. AJ recommended doing 'a little bit of something.'

Peanuts are the most underrated ballpark snack and they are actually healthy because they are pure protein.

I'm also a big peanuts guy. I think peanuts are very underrated. I know that also when I eat peanuts, I tell myself they're not, like, unhealthy because, you know, nuts. It's protein. ... Whereas, like, I'll eat a whole bag of peanuts at the park, and I know there's probably 2000 calories and like 17 grams of sodium but that's okay in my head i think it's healthy.

While peanuts have protein, eating a 2,000-calorie bag with high sodium is generally not considered 'healthy' by nutritionists.
