- So smooth!
- At first I thought
this was the new one. And then I opened
the other one
and it was the same. - I was like,
"What has happened?"
- I love a smooth bun. <i> ( music playing )</i> Is there anything better
than leftovers? I mean, seriously,
I'm asking. Is there anything better
than leftovers? Chase: No! Thank you, Chase!
For being responsive. Okay, that leads
to a bigger question,
a more important question. Which McDonald's menu item
makes the best leftovers? We're actually
interested in this because McDonald's
items are known to remain unchanged for years
even without refrigeration, and if there's any doubt
just visit oldesthamburger.blogspot.com
to see Dave's <i> totally contemporary looking
15-year-old burger.</i> - That's my favorite website.
- He found it in his jacket. So here's
what we're gonna do. We're gonna bring in
different items. We're going
to taste the original, and then we're gonna
taste one that has been
refrigerated for a week. We didn't just leave it out. You know, safety's important
on this show, right?
You know that. And then the old ones have been
warmed up in the microwave, you know, a minute or so. And then we're gonna see
which on has held up the best and then rank them
on this board. Right. Let's start
with the Egg McMuffin. Go ahead and toss those in.
Now for a control group, this is a fresh
Egg McMuffin. So we're gonna try that. And then we have
the microwaved versions here. So take a little bite
just to refresh yourself. 'Cause you might
wanna stockpile. So, McDonald's-- Well, now
where do I put this? - Right there.
- All right. So we've zapped this
for about a minute. This isn't which one
we prefer the most, it's which one has remained
the same the most. And we're gonna rank 'em
on this board here. Mmm. I gotta say taste-wise, - It's the same.
- it's like 90% there. It really is 90% there. Mm-hmm.
Wow! After a week in the fridge,
that's not bad at all. - Aftertaste on the bread.
- Oh, yeah? - A little staleness hit me.
Little staleness.
- Yep. The McMuffin
part is hurtin'. Just put it in the middle
for now. We'll put it right there
in the middle for now. All right,
bring in the next one. Chicken McNuggets. This the fresh ones?
The freshies? Now, I have a theory that this is gonna
be a horrible leftover. 'Cause even if you wait
till the end of the meal, like you start
eating the nuggets
and you go to the fries, maybe some drink,
something else, you go to the bathroom,
you come back, you eat the nugget,
you're like, "Mmm.
It's not as good." 'Cause fried stuff
doesn't hold up as well. - Okay.
- But we've zapped these
again for-- - for about a minute.
- Oh, wow. They've really--
They've changed. - You've changed, nuggets.
- Yeah. - Look at the difference
right there.
- Oh, man! - They're not as--
- Feel 'em. There's serious
separation. Breading separation. It's really just peeling
right off. It feels soggy. Oh, man! - These took a hit, boy.
- Ooh! Flavor profile's
totally different. There is no flavor.
It's like bad tofu. - What happened, nugget?
- Oh, gosh! All right,
we gotta put those-- We gotta put those
at the end for right now. - The chicken nuggets.
- That-- That's horrifyingly
horrible. Wow! Who would've thought
that it would've
changed that much? - Get rid of those.
- All right, bring in
the next one. Okay. French fries. Have you ever thought
about refrigerating
French fries for a week? - Yeah.
- And then yanking 'em out
after awhile? So again, we know
what these taste like. Beef seasoned,
goodness, crunchy. Famous for sitting
around forever
and remaining unchanged. They've also changed
in color, though. - But--
- Those are golden. And they got whiter. Look at that. They got
significantly whiter. It's like two continental
shelfs meeting and it's gonna
create a mouthquake. I doubt it. I'm shaking in my boots. Work with me here. Oh, gosh! - These have gone bad, too.
- That's rubbery. Is it bad as the nugget,
though? Not as bad as the nuggets, but I knew these were
gonna be horrible. I wouldn't have predicted
they would be better
than the nuggets, but they are. - Let's get these outta here.
- It's pretty bad, though. I gotta say
it's getting worse. - If you like a floppy one--
- It won't stand up anymore. Don't be deceived.
They're all floppy now and they don't have
the good floppiness that people like me prefer. Get your continental shelfs
outta the way. All right,
what we got now? - Oh, gosh! Filet-O-Fish.
- Oh, you know this is-- Okay, so these are
the microwaved ones. First let's go
with the control group
'cause-- Hold on. You don't some
kinda parlor trick here? - I know, but I wasn't.
- Here-- We've been doing
the same thing the whole time, and all of a sudden
now you're switching it up. - Well, don't--
- How do you know that
that's a fresh one? It is! Right? - They don't know!
- I know for a fact it is. - You did a switcheroo!
- Well-- I didn't. I didn't.
See, you can look. - Oh, maybe I did.
- Look at what-- Well, hold on.
Let's look at all three. Yep. Nope. Yeah, the fresh one
is wrinkled. The fresh one is wrinkled.
Did you just say that? The fresh one is wrinkled. This is the fresh one. Look what--
The old ones got taut, though. - What did you learn?
- You know about that. Oh! Well, leave me some,
Reggie! - Okay.
- I like the Filet-O-Fish. I can't tell you
last time I had one. It's the sleeper item
at McDonald's. People who know what's up
know about the Filet-O-Fish. It's not just for Friday's
anymore, guys. I don't think it's that great.
Maybe it'll get better - after a week.
- I doubt it. But the bun has really-- It's doing
some interesting things. I mean, look at that bun. Wouldn't you prefer that bun? - I know! I know!
- You see that bun? So smooth. At first I thought
this was the new one, and then I opened the other one
and it was the same. - I was like,
"What has happened?"
- I love a smooth bun. Okay. It tastes like school lunch. The bread is bad. No, it's not.
It's better. - What's wrong with you?
- What? - As a person--
- Let me try this again. who likes the Filet-O-Fish, I feel like I'm the one
who has to judge this. - You don't like it
to begin with.
- I know. Okay. The bread got better.
The bread is like wine. - Well, the fish is
not as crunchy.
- But the taste-- I mean, this is really,
really coming in strong. Filet-O-Fish coming in hot! Really? I'ma chipmunk that.
I'ma eat some of this. I do not taste bad bread. I tasted bad bread
on the Egg McMuffin. This bread has gotten
some sort of youth serum. Did you Botox this bread? - No wrinkles.
- I'm not backing down. I've had three bites now. Having both of them twice,
I'm not gonna say it's better, but I'm gonna say
it is virtually unchanged. Right. Except for the wrinkles. We'll put it at two
right now. Probably gonna
be number one. That's too much Filet-O-Fish.
Had to get rid of some. Now, Big Mac.
This is very personal to me because they used to do this
special at the Big Mac-- At the Big Mac.
At the McDonald's
near NC State. - Where once a--
- In college. There would be this week where they did
a 25 cent Big Mac. Hold on. It had to be-- You're talking four
for a dollar? Yeah. They did a 25 cent
Big Mac special. Because I got 12 of them. Three dollars. You know how you'd have
those dorm fridges and the top would have
that like freezer thing? Well, I would open--
I would come home from class and I would open it up
and it would be jam packed - Yeah.
- like crammed full
of these boxes. - Yeah.
- And I-- And he said I couldn't
have any of 'em. So I would warm 'em up
in the room microwave - So like--
- and I ate all 12. I made it through
all 12 in a week. That's a magical thing
right there. Hello again. So, Rhett's already been
on record since college in saying this is
an amazing thing. Now you wouldn't heat it up
in the microwave, right? - You would go for--
- I think my tastes have
changed since college. I think I got a little bit
more discernment. It's got freaking
lettuce in it. You would heat it up
in the toaster. We had a microwave
and a toaster - That's right.
- and television, - No, toaster oven.
- and two beds. - A toaster-- Toaster oven.
- Oh, you're right. - It has a door.
- Do I need to do a Google
search and show you? No, I got it.
You're right. Ooh! Look at the blackness
of that burger. The edge of it. - Was it always that way?
- I hope so. Nope, it wasn't. The beef is bad. Yeah. I gotta say-- Man! I mean, what you said
about the bread before-- 19-year-old Rhett
didn't know what was up. The beef is bad. I don't think it's gone--
It's gone bad. The bread is the same. Okay, but hold on. Okay, I think--
I think this is clearly-- It's better than the fry--
I think it's better
than the fries. Yep. Yep.
I agree with that. Move these to-- I mean,
this is controversial. I'm saying that
the Filet-O-Fish holds up better than the Egg McMuffin. I recognize that this is
a controversial decision. I'm open to it being changed
if you feel strongly about it. The McMuffin got
a little crustier
on the top. The Filet-O-Fish
got younger. The bread got younger! Who knew that
Filet-O-Fishes got younger the longer they sit out? Yes, I'm in 100% agreement. As much as I don't prefer
the Filet-O-Fish, if I'm gonna eat one,
I'm gonna wait a week
after purchase. Yes! I love it
when we discover something
meaningful on this show! Did we discover something
meaningful? We learned a lot,
haven't we? Haven't we? - Chase: Yeah!
- Thank you, Chase. - Chase had my back.
- All right. Keep watching, because
we're about to show you the craziest prank fail
videos that we could find
on the internet. Rhett:<i>
