    Hear us out… what if we combined EVERY single fast food burger into on frankenburger?! It sounds like the thing made from school lunch dreams, but we really went for it. Burger King? McDonald’s? Five Guys? Yeah, they’re all in this monstrosity of a burger. Here’s how it all turned out.

      I was honestly expecting THAT to be part of their conclusion. To make it fair, make it a single-blind experiment: Sam (or whomever is available) assembles and presents the best/worst burgers, unlabeled, to Mat and Santi. Granted, when they feel the Hardee's hockey puck of a bun they'll KNOW, but the effort should be made anyway.

      Tbh I thought they would have categorised each burger topping, like patty, bun, veg, pickled, sauce etc. and then taking the item that reoccurs the most and combining them. Eg. Majority of burgers had steamed bun + majority had ketchup + majority had pickles etc. I also thought they would’ve gotten the best seller burgers rather than the same from everywhere

    Just curious. For any of the food theory episodes including this one, is it ever considered how the more you eat, the less tasty it would be? Could be a theory on its own. For example: eat the burgers blindly and rank them, next day eat them in reverse order and see if the ranking changes.

    I think it would be interesting to see an episode about food ads directed at children, and what they're implying. If you took the ads of my childhood literally, the food they're advertising is like a drug - ended boredom, solved all your problems, added a few super powers, and possibly caused hallucinations too. Kind of an odd message to send to children.

    Actually Matt, Five Guys does not give you extra fries. Their website states the nutrition facts of the fries including their serving size, which is the same amount of fries you get in the bag. They use smaller cups to make you think you are getting free fries, when most of the time you are actually getting less.

    • @gnarledcox
      @gnarledcox 5 месяцев назад +2

      @thisplatformsucks Well a fruit affects your brain differently than meat. Maybe the apple slices actually make our brains happier than the salty fries as a side, and who's to say apples are the happiest fruit on average? And perhaps fish or poultry might be better than beef, in which case the McNugget meal could provide more dopamine release, meaning they'd need a main meal that surpasses even NUGGIES. Chocolate releases dopamine, would nuts and dark chocolate make for a dessert just as dopamine producing as a milkshake?
      I know taste preferences are highly subjective, but just because someone doesn't like asparagus doesn't mean asparagus isn't healthy. Maybe in a similar way, dopamine response to certain foods could be based on what the body wants/needs regardless of taste, like someone switching to salads and feeling happier and healthier or in the way a starving person will get nutrients from stuff like fish eyes
      I think there's definitely something here worth making an episode about

      Plus if you don't like the taste of something, it doesn't matter whether it's healthy- the positive feeling you get from a taste you like is the dopamine being released. If it tastes bad to you, little to no dopamine response.

      There are 3 potential ways that the toys get chosen.
      1. The company want to bump sales so they're willing to pay a licencing fee. The toys are attractive to kids so something popular like a Disney movie will have a licencing fee but they will inevitably get bigger sales of kids meals.
      2. The property is attractive but are kids really going to go wild for new land before time toys because it's like the 30th anniversary or something? Probably not so they only have to promote the product and they can use the property to bump their sales.
      3. The property want to receive easy advertising from a 3rd party so they pay the company to put their toys in kids meals. It's a cheap alternative to have McDonald's slap "bibble bobbles bubbly boo adventure" over their happy meal boxes, on poster on their walls and potentially shown on TV than it would to buy the TV spot yourself. It's not that your product is necessarily bad but it's a new IP from a small studio like Shrek was (Shrek was literally sent out to die and came back a hero) so you might not have the money to invest like Disney do.
      It's a business deal that benefits both sides either financially or economically at the end of the day. It gets toys in a kid's hand and makes them want to know more especially if your toy can be made into something cool.

That would have been interesting and make the individual taste testing's actually mean something.

      My sister can taste tomatoes even when they've been picked off even when the rest of the family can't. Some things can definitely be taken off with little consequence, but not a lot of things. Especially not sauces. No matter how much you try to wipe the mayo off of a bun (or shredded lettuce *good luck* doing anything about that), it's still in there. Now the bun just tastes like mayo and like paper towel if you tried to dig in hard enough to even get any out of the bun lol

    Eh, top should have had Culvers above the McDonalds and Burger King, but the issue is that they're aiming for a stripped down version of each company's burger menu, not the standard, and not paired with their intended menu items. Yes, you can get a single Butterburger from Culvers without fries or frozen custard... but it really is intended to be eaten with them, as part of meal items, which have always been the most ordered thing I've seen in their restaurants. There also is the difference between eating them *fresh* and however long they've sat before being reheated. Culvers is one of those burgers that is best fresh, because it literally is cooked with butter, not as much other oil like most other burger chains. The butter flavor really pairs excellently with the frozen custard, and while one could get the regular fries, the chili cheese fries only accentuates the entire package. I've never had the local restaurant they refer to because it isn't around here, but I will agree that Five Guys *without sides* does taste better if you're reheating it, but Culvers still beats it out if fresh.
