      I just realized it too. What a coincidence! Tom, Amy, Santi & Lee taking over the main Channels MatPat made, while he continues over on GTLive, after they were featured in the episode about how to win a food fight? Looks like MatPat had already discussed it with the team, then dropped it as an announcement on Game Theory. But, it's most likely he hadn't yet thought about retirement on May 28th 2023. Man, if only the new hosts could confirm or deny the idea of the channels being handed to them after this episode aired.

    MY HIGH SCHOOL HAD OCCASIONAL FOOD FIGHTS!
    They were actually a serious problem. Basically, everyone would be talking, and then suddenly the cafeteria would get dead quiet. There would be an ominous feeling in the air, and then--BAM!--food would go flying everywhere. It was actually quite disgusting and I would always feel horrible for the staff that had to clean it up. Luckily, they figured out a solution: They started playing music throughout lunch. That prevented the room from getting quiet, which actually stopped the food fights from happening!

    Food theory idea: How can the food in Botw (breath of the wild) and TotK (tears of the kingdom) give you certain abilities like, the Mighty Bananas giving higher attack radishes giving increased vitality. Could they be a sort of GMO? Or is it completely impossible? I’m pretty curious of how even some mushrooms can regenerate stamina or even make you more resistant to damage or the cold/heat.

    I’ve actually been in a food fight where my team absolutely destroyed the other. We just got a bunch of strawberry milk cartons, opened the top then closed it. We then threw it to the ceiling above where our enemies were and the milk splattered all below onto them. By opening the carton, you make it so the milk is more likely to get poured everywhere, and by closing it again, you avoid it from exploding until it reaches it destination.

    Speaking as someone who works in a school, I'm glad food fights don't really happen. Putting aside what the custodial staffs already have to put up with in schools these days (thank you TikTok), there are many poorer kids who depend on school meals as their main source of food. I don't want to encourage kids to waste what is the most important meal, if not sole meal, of some of their peers.

    Though Matpat did give some good weapons or your food fight, here are some other weapons that might work good.
    Desserts:
    Ice cream: A very creamy snowball. Great for long distance and some snipes (Ranged Weapon)
    Pie: Self explanatory (Ranged and Melee Weapon)
    Cake/Cupcake: like a ice cream fused with pie. Also great for massive stains/damage on opponent. Also can be used as a banana peel. (Ranged and Melee Weapon)
    Jell-O: hear me out on this, but even though it can't really give any stains it works great as a slip trip. (Just hope you don't get caught) (Trap use)
    Muffin: Not the best or worst. Kinda dry weapon (Melee and Ranged Weapon)
    Snacks:
    Your packet of chips: Blow up the packet by clapping it. Works as a one use shotgun. (Ranged Weapon)
    Tangerines/Mandarins and Oranges: Perfect for a juicy blow. Not good for throwing though. (Trap and Melee Weapon)
    Biscuits/Cookies: When thrown, it gives not that much damage but if crumbled it works great. (Ranged Weapon)
    Fast Food/Lunch:
    Burgers and Sandwiches: Not the best when trying to do long distance shots but when thrown at a close distance it is great for a greasy shotgun. (Melee and Ranged weapon)
    Fried Chicken or Normal Chicken: First consume the meat or don't (your choice really). Dip the chicken into any available sauce. Throw it. Now it makes a good greasy and saucy weapon. (Ranged and Melee Weapon)
    Pizza slice: Can be both be thrown or used as a melee but melee is best option for damage and stains. (Ranged and Melee Weapon)
    Meatballs: Coming from the dangerous spaghetti, this ball of meat is saucy and greasy. (Ranged Weapon)
    Corndog: Not great for throwing, high risk of injury. Best used for melee. (Melee Weapon)
    Soup: Some of the most dangerous weapons. This bowl of liquid is dangerous if stained. But the bowl is good use for armor. (Armor and Ranged Weapon)
    Condiments:
    Spicy Mustard: Best for massive stain. Bonus points if in enemy's mouth (Ranged and Melee Weapon)
    Relish: Great for giving someone's stain a pain (Ranged Weapon)
    BBQ Sauce: similar reason to Ketchup (Ranged Weapon)
    Drinks:
    Orange juice: Both sticky and deadly (Ranged Weapon)
    Milkshake: Milk but more deadly and larger (Ranged Weapon)
    Lemonade: Just like an orange juice but a bit sour. (Ranged Weapon)
    Capri-sun: Highly sticky. Dangerous weapon. (Ranged Weapon)
    Now for the most deadliest weapons. Beware if you are hit by these two weapons:
    Stale Baguette: A literal sword. (Melee Weapon)
    Chewing gum: A lil piece of of this and catastrophe can happen. (Ranged and Melee)
    Writers note: This nearly took me 2 hours.

    4:42. Back of the lunch, closest to the door as you can, but depending on your school’s layout, (yes, lunchrooms aren’t just a big box.) you have an easy escape option. University city high, has pillars all around, so you always had coverage. Overbrook only had two massive pillars in the middle. Depending on your position, this could stain or not stain your “mattpatt jumpers 11s.” 😂😂

    Just had a great idea for a food fight victory
    1-When it starts,get the empty tray,condiments like ketchup,mayo or mustard
    2-Drop below the table and flip over the benches to their side
    3-Turn the Table into a heavily armored place by using the benches as walls,same with trays
    4-Tables,trays and benches serve as armor while layed out as a pill box
    The Condiments or bottles you have serve as a good enough ofense
    5-Now the table serves as a pillbox and if done right with your friends,a Food fight tanks
    6-probably wont work and you will get targeted one way or another.

    Yes Mat, us TROUBLEMAKERS were HIGHLY skilled at winging bologna. I could ruin any car's paint job, even the ones in the garages without ever setting foot in their yards.
    Also, been in one food fight, mid 90's, 4th grade. Even at the age/size the trays did little to shield us from juice boxes and chicken tetrazinni.
    We took cover behind the ice cream cooler (yes kids, you used to be able to buy ice cream at lunch, for 50¢!)
    We found the Drumsticks and Choco Tacos to hurt bad and fly far. That's the best by far.

    My school was in a pretty rural area with a lot of low income families with major food insecurities. The school meals were the only meals the majority of the students ever ate so the idea of wasting any food was beyond taboo. If there was something someone was allergic to or just really didn't like we were constantly actively sharing and trading meal items.
    I have however bared witness to a number of literal brawls that almost always broke out in the cafeteria though. Not the same thing but interesting that they always took place there.

    At my high school the words "Food Fight" were taboo. Even uttering them at a conversational level on the complete opposite side of the school from the cafeteria could land you in detention or in school suspension. As for soda, there were vending machines all over the place though most teachers had a no drinking in class rule, and the few that let you were idolized.

    No joke, his whole future was irrevocably changed from this 1 food fight. Dropped out of community college and works a lumber/landscaping job with his older brother.

    This is a sausage in bread, typically with onion. This is a charity setup with proceeds going to girl guides, scouts, cancer council etc
    A few years ago they had a slip and fall caused by onions coming out of someones food and falling to the floor.
    They made it a policy that onions now needed to be under the sausage.

    I experienced a food fight once, it was pure CHAOS and unlocked a whole new fear for me 😅

    Food fights do indeed happen. I experienced one during my senior year of high school. It was rather anti-climactic and did not last very long. At the end ,my whole graduating class(small school so it was only a class of 75) had to clean up the cafeteria.

      As a homeschooler, the fact that a small class is 75 people blows my mind lol

    Once Ollie’s in elementary school, Matt is gonna have him call him if there’s a food fight, so he can drive over and join in😂

    I was in a food fight at camp one year. It ended up with me running through the woods chasing people down with a hand pumped 5 gallon water tank on my back. And we were the counselors.

    My "food fights" in school was more me and friends light-heartedly fighting *over* food rather then throwing it around. Still resulted in equal amounts of food going every direction and boy it was fun.

    Food Theory idea: If air resistance can create heat energy, how fast should we send a chicken to cook it? At which point does the chicken got cooked if we drop it from space?

      @@tak9273 So as it turns out, the chicken would come out seared on the outside, but the inside would still be raw. I would not recommend eating it afterwards
