Eating Ben's Chili Bowl at Reagan Airport before a flight should be banned for safety reasons

Eating that before you get onto a flight... that should, it should be box cutters and Ben's Chili Bowl. The two things that you can't bring on a flight.

This is a humorous comparison that cannot be factually proven.

Trix Yogurt is an elite-tier snack

TRX Yogurt is elite. The best. No free ads, but that's a good free ads. Do they exist? ... TRX Yogurt was discontinued in 2016... but it's since returned to the market.

Stadiums only release 'epic' food items to get social media impressions, not because people actually eat them

I'm convinced that teams do this just to get impressions on social media. I don't think that many people actually order them, but they're looking for the next like epic meal that is sold at a stadium. Right? And so they released a candy, was it cotton candy stuffed burrito where it was like just filling... and nobody's actually gonna eat that. Right? No one's gonna order it.

While logically sound, the motive of stadium vendors is inherently subjective or internal to the teams.

One bagel is never satisfying; a backup bagel is essential for breakfast

One and a half bagels is usually the perfect amount... One bagel is never fully satisfying. A backup bagel is the most important. What about bacon, egg and cheese. Great. You need to finish it off with something. Keep it off with a bagel.

Subjective food preference.

I sometimes order backup sandwiches at Jimmy John's

Sometimes I'll do backup sandwiches... like if you want to try two different things. I'll get like a buffalo chicken sandwich and a cheesesteak... I always get a backup sandwich. You can put that in the fridge.

Personal eating habit.

The Taco Bell Cheez-It Crunchwrap will be elite

Let me just say that The Cheez-It Crunchwrap looks elite. Yes. It looks, I without tasting it, I can tell you that's probably on my Mount Rushmore of Taco Bell Foods.

The Cheez-It Crunchwrap was released to generally positive reviews but reviews are subjective.

A grilled cheese is better the less effort you put into it

I also think that a grilled cheese is one of those things that it's better the less effort that you put into it. Yeah. Like you can make a gourmet grilled cheese with some of the best cheese in the world. But for my money, if you just take like two slices of Wonder Bread and some craft singles that's perfect.

The Beyond Meat COO bit a man's nose because he craved real animal protein

My hot seat is beyond meat. The COO. Yes. Of beyond meat after the Arkansas, Missouri game bit a guy's nose in a parking lot. And that's just a class example of a guy craving real animal protein.

A humorous, non-verifiable psychological claim about a real news event.

Little Caesars pizza is trash and barely counts as pizza

Little Caesars is trash. It is trash. People forget... Caesars are just trash. It's like not pizza.

Dipping Oreos in water is better than dipping them in milk

I brought forward to the world, the art of dipping your Oreos and water, essentially washing them taste delicious, better than milk.

Purely subjective and widely considered gross, but Hank stands by it.

Restaurants should offer oversized sweatshirts for customers who want to keep eating

A restaurant should offer an oversized sweatshirt or even a blanket so that you can keep eating through that... somewhere between like appetizers maybe right after appetite is like, sir, are you, are you planning on eating past full well, yeah, always. Can we offer you this three XL sweatshirt?

A few novelty restaurants actually do this, but it is not a standard industry practice.

Putting mayo on a turkey sandwich is the most American thing you can eat

A perfectly normal amount of mayo on a tuna fish sandwich or a turkey sandwich, that's the most American thing that you can eat.

This is a subjective cultural observation.

Every college town has a local pizza place that people think is awesome but is actually terrible once you're sober.

Every college in America, I'm convinced, has their local pizza place, and at one particular pizza place you swear has the best pizza. And then when once you go visit a friend there and they give it to their special pizza town and you're like, wait, this isn't as good as mine. [PFT: It's terrible when you're sober].

Inherently subjective matter of taste and nostalgia.

A 600-foot cheesesteak made of individual subs is a total fraud

It's a bunch of regular cheesesteaks, footlong cheesesteaks stacked up next to each other. It's ridiculous to say... If you make a 600-foot... it has to be connected.

The 'record' was widely mocked for being individual sandwiches placed end-to-end rather than one continuous loaf.

I would definitely eat three steaks a week to help the earth

The recommendation was if you eat less than... If you eat three steaks a week and you decrease it, you will like greatly help the earth. And then someone was like, who the hell is eating three steaks a week? And I just did the Homer Simpson gift. Like I am for sure.

A personal lifestyle claim and preference.

Chick-fil-A would beat Popeyes if they released an extra spicy chicken sandwich

Develop an extra spicy chicken sandwich. If you go to market with extra spicy, that'll take all the buzz off Popeyes.

Chick-fil-A eventually tested and released several spicy variations, including a Spicy Grilled and a Pimento Cheese Spicy, but their flagship remains the standard spicy.

The Four Loko hard seltzer isn't real

I think that the Four Loko thing is fake. I'm very woke on this because there was no link to the product whatsoever. It was a Photoshop that Four Loko put out there... here's why I think it's fake is because if you're going to make something 14% alcohol, why not just make it 20?

The Four Loko Hard Seltzer was a real product released shortly after this viral teaser.

The Domino's Pizza Tracker is fake

My hot seat is the Domino's tracker... Some big J journalist, independent journalist, went in, did some research, and was like stalking, would put in an order, and would follow the restaurant, follow the driver, and make sure that the tracker was up to date. And it's not. No. He foiled it. He foiled Domino's.

Domino's has admitted that the tracker is not 100% literal and relies on manual clicks by employees that don't always align with the exact physical state of the pizza.

If you don't like mayonnaise, you are probably homophobic and misogynistic

If you don't like mayo, you're actually, well, and also, you're probably kind of homophobic and a little misogynistic. Because you're just like, your masculinity is threatened by having this creamy, delicious spread just down your throat.

Pizza Hut deserves more recognition now that they are the official NFL sponsor

My cool throne is Pizza Hut. We didn't really talk about this on the show last week, but Pizza Hut is now the official sponsor of the NFL. And that's huge because Pizza Hut's delicious, and I'm just happy that they're getting the recognition they deserve.

Pizza Hut did indeed replace Papa John's as the official NFL sponsor in early 2018.

Chick-fil-A would sell 16% more chicken if they opened on Sundays

I've actually got a foolproof idea for how you guys can sell at least 16% more chicken. ... Open your [restaurants] on Sundays. That's the only day of the week that I want to eat Chick-fil-A is when I'm hungover on Sunday and it's always closed.

While mathematically adding a 7th day would increase sales (roughly 14.3%), Chick-fil-A's per-unit productivity on its 6 open days often outpaces competitors, making the 'loss' of a 7th day complex to calculate. However, they remain closed on Sundays.
