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 school had a food fight once and I wasn’t even there - I was across the country on vacation. Lucky for me, the principal deemed everyone in those grades involved would be in trouble unless you could prove you weren’t present (something myself and a few others proved). Heard it started with a kid taking ketchup dipped nuggets and throwing them like shurikens.
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.
the proper way to win a food fight: 1. pick up fencing as a hobby 2. master the sword 3. bring a week old super hard baguette 4. deflect all incoming attacks 5. win

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!
The reason why you've never heard of anyone ever being in a food fight, matpat, is because the first rule of food fights is that you do not to talk about food fights
Don't forget that one of the most used traits in competitive is Peanut Allergy, one of the best traits on defensive builds giving 20% defense boost with his only counter being peanut-type foods, so it's preferable if you have any of those in your build, I personally prefer peanut-filled sock, good damage, fast attacks, etc. I even made people with said trait so angry that they ragequitted to the point that they never log in again
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.
We had a grand total of one when I was in school and I think it happened specifically because we thought it would be funny. I'm pretty sure it lasted for a couple minutes and we ended up cleaning up the mess ourselves.
Okay one thing I want to throw out for safety: Do NOT throw HOT mashed potatoes or oatmeal on a person!! The sugar makes these foods sticky and hard to get off someone. Great for a food fight but TERRIBLE when the food is at temperatures that can lead to second degree burns. Just felt like I needed that PSA out there. Have a good day! 🌟
How often was your school food hot tho? I know it was VERY rare for it to be more than slightly warm even in the first lunch period but thank you for worrying about others saftey🫡
As a contestant of multiple food fights and winner of one, I can confirm food fights need a lot of thinking ahead for almost everyone (every single one I've been in has been planned ahead of time so kids know when and where it'll be.

You know MatPat if you really want to get into a food fight there are actual festivals that are basically that. One in Spain that's a tomato fight while there's one in Italy that's an orange fight.
You should do a food theory similar to the style theory episode about washing clothes. Except about washing dishes. What is the best type of soap? Should you pre-rinse your dishes before loading them in the dishwasher? How clean are your pots and pans after you hand wash them?

(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.
I remember one food fight from middle school. I was passing by the cafeteria with a bathroom pass and saw the end of it. Didn't get to join in but definitely saw how shocked and possibly scared the cafeteria workers were.
That surprise Steph Nugget vocal cameo made me... probably happier than it should have 😅 It's a classic, and I want the creators of Kindergarten to make another sequel just so we can get a GTLive featuring Steph and her Nugget voice again 😁
This reminds me of the stale chocolate cake slices sold in my Uni that everyone avoided. My friends tried to slam a slice on the table just to see if it was really that stale. and the table broke.
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.
"Have you ever TRIED throwing a piece of bologna?" MatPat displaying his utter innocence here. 😂 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. Pre-poked Capri Sun was also viable.
I was in a full on food fight in high school that was actually started by someone winging a mini piece of bologna from a lunchable and it sticking to a girls cheek
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.
Similar upbringing. I actually don't know anyone irl who's been in a food fight. It seems like one of those TV sitcom things. But fights w weapons, yeah. Food fights? Nah
Throughout my life, I've experienced 5 food fights. The biggest one was in my 9th grade class where, around the same time, someone cherry bombed a toilet.
Hey Theorist team! Reporting from Jamaica🇯🇲: My school used to allow sodas but when I got to grade 11, there was a policy that only allowed fruit drinks to be sold at schools. This was in hopes of reducing sugar intake in teens.
Not me tearing up at the surprise Nugget cameo 😂 I was SO hoping for it when he mentioned the best lunch food, and then there was Steph’s voice blessing my ears 🥺
2:50 We need a part 2 or 3 for options 2 and 3. You know, for self defense purposes when that particular food fight occurs and running away isn't a viable option.
The real missed opportunity is that they didnt do a live experiment on this. I need a part 2 with them actually doing a food fight using the methods they discussed
Sweet potato casserole. Every school I went to had it at least twice a week, and while it may not seem like it it has a lot of structural stability when put under the right force it works just like a good sticky clump of mud.
My friends and I spent some entertaining hours plotting how we could use the interesting layout of our university cafeteria for the most epic food fight imaginable. Even came up with rules such as "if you participate, you stay to clean up" with an eye to keeping the administration happy.
@@geekygoods7476 I certainly would love to tell you, but I'm afraid these plots were nearly twenty years ago now and nothing came of them but laughter and amusement. :)
I have, in fact, been pegged with a small ball of mashed potatoes. It was just as effective as you're expecting for throwability, but in my experience, that results in someone catching hands, not a slice of pizza to the face.
Tip: To make a liquid grenade, get a collapseable plastic bottle with a twist cap (water/juice/diet coke). Unscrew the cap so it's just on and throw. Alternatively, if it's soda, you can shake it beforehand; If it's not, you can take the lid off entirely.
My favorite food fight has got to be from RWBY; nothing like people from a combat school getting into a food fight. Not to mention, "I'm queen of the castle! " is an awesome line.
I would really like a video about using food in a self defense scenario. I wouldn't be surprised to see that it could be lethal, because anything can be used as a weapon.
I remember the food fight at my school. Several kids planned it. And I remember the cafeteria staff saying they should have caught it earlier. Especially since kids were walking out to the tables with trays covered with condiment cups full of ketchup and mustard. It lasted only a few minutes, but the room and kids were covered with red and yellow splatters.
Better than one that the class above us did. I had friends a grade above me that told me that there was a food fight where they had left milk to spoil in lockers before they planned to have one...
youtuber Ice Cream Sandwich actually had a food fight experience. apparently basically everyone but a small portion just flooded to the doors to escape the fight, but apparently the small percentage of fighters was still enough to cause food to rain down from the heavens onto everyone trying to escape in the roiling rapids of people. edit: dont trust the reply with the "full clip." its very fake. edit 2: the clip is no longer fake :D
Here is the actual video from ice cream sandwich about the food fight th-cam.com/video/5fJfBJN-cnQ/w-d-xo.html edit: the bot got removed so only the real video exists
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.
If i ever see Matpat in a foodfight, im running faster than the most aerodynamic pinapple can hit the other side of the cafeteria Edit: That's most likes i had! Thank you all! Edit: woo 300 likes!
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.
This has got me thinking about the best ways to get rid of stains 😰 always got me googling “removing mustard stain, removing tea stain, removing milk stain, removing oil stain”. Could be a fun vid and experiment worthy in the-theorist-laundry-room.
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
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.
Beets. Especially canned or pickled beets. They're hard enough to keep their shape when you throw or use a spoon to catapult them at your opponents, yet soft enough to spread everywhere when they hit. Add in their staining power (you can actually use beets to make pet-safe paint), and you have another great contender.
I'm convinced that pies are the ultimate food fight food. If y'all don't know, there's a movie called "The Great Race" (go watch it, it's culture), and at a point in the movie, the cast has a giant pie fight. This being said, many of the cast said it felt like being hit with a brick :). Keep that in mind. Besides that point, pies can stain clothes, get smushed into your hair (and be difficult to get out), and you have a wide variety of pies that can serve different ammunition purposes. There's also the range that they affect, which can provide more splatter and pie shrapnel than some other foods. And of course, they taste delicious!
@@johanjamesmercado The reason it was put there was because my school was also a church, so it was there for people exiting the church. Still really dumb though
This unlocked a core memory for me. In high-school i remeber sitting with the other seniors, i was enjoying my lunch untill someone yelled "food fight." As soon as that started, the lunch ladies closed off the area, i jumped up, ran to the doors to try to get to cover. When that didnt work, i pressed myself to the door and prayed i didnt get hit. I didnt, my lunch was still in tacked and my backpack was clean. I was lucky XD
I feel for breakfast foods, pancakes coated in syrup would be quite effective, throw like a frisbee for distance, and could have the whole thing sticking for awhile
MatPat: (proceeds to make a video on how to win a Food Fight) Ex-cons, once he gets to the third possible win condition: (takes notes) Schools, by the end of the video: (takes notes)
I remember that there were food fights when I was in elementary school and high school. Both times, they were organized by advanced placement students who were really into arts and theatre. Neither of which I actually participated in or saw, but they were kids from my grade, most likely the same kids both times.
Matpat is the kind of guy to take 1 food item and find a way to turn it into a entire essay with a complete thesis, body paragraphs, and conclusion And I love it
Matpat: With these, we'll always be ready in the event of a food fight, friends. *[Immediately after recording]* POV: Matpat walking into the kitchen. Steph and the rest of the Theorist gang: *FOOD FIGHT!!!!!*
I was in a food fight in high school. I was in JROTC and at one of our weekend events we organized a food fight on the lawn. It was awesome, even some teachers got involved!
I love how Mat is tackling this like a game's stat menu BLUEBERRY: Range: |||||||||||||| Stain: ||||||||| Damage: ||| NUGGETS: Range: |||||||||| Stain: ||||| Damage: |||||
Although you quickly dismissed this item, I'm a major proponent of saucy spag-bol and garlic bread with Gatorade. Like MatPat mentioned, sugars, acids and tannins are present in both tomato sauce and the electrolyte drink; but the lipid-locked garlic butter will also leave your opponent with a nasty grease stain on laundry day as well. Throw in a berry pie and some parmesan cheese, and you also get a rather balanced meal too😊
My school scheduled a school fight in a separate room from the cafeteria during a week for seniors (along with many other activite). It was optional and 1 rule is that after the fight you stay and help clean up. I didn't participate-mostly because for some reason everyone else knew about this going on and needing at least 1 change of clothes for 2 days of the week.
My school had a vending machine relatively close to the cafeteria that had all sorts of sodas, but they were the typical 12 oz cans. We could have them during lunch and during the after school hours when we were waiting for the bus on early release days, but only in the cafeteria. This is actually how i snuck myself some caffeinated drinks when my mom didn’t let me have them growing up 😅
I can totally picture Matpat walking into a random public school cafeteria and starting a food fight in the name of science
“Unleash the chicken patties! Oh, and calculate the trajectory, I guess.”

Best food fight ever. Of all time.
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.
I remember one food fight from middle school. I was passing by the cafeteria with a bathroom pass and saw the end of it. Didn't get to join in but definitely saw how shocked and possibly scared the cafeteria workers were.
34 👍
could you imagine if someone threw an entire coconut or durian?
That surprise Steph Nugget vocal cameo made me... probably happier than it should have 😅 It's a classic, and I want the creators of Kindergarten to make another sequel just so we can get a GTLive featuring Steph and her Nugget voice again 😁
Made it my fav food theory just bc of her comeback
I full on squeeled then said out loud audibly but quietly "thank you Steph".
It was the best part of the video
😅yes😂😊
nugget my favorite in that game
This reminds me of the stale chocolate cake slices sold in my Uni that everyone avoided.
My friends tried to slam a slice on the table just to see if it was really that stale.
and the table broke.
what the fudge
That can’t be true can it? 😟
Chocolate cake evolved into a chocolate brick!
@@doomdogdog Oh but it can lol
Either that's a super hard cake, or a super cheap table.
I just realised in the Cold Open, it is all the people who will replace MatPat hosting each channel, lol
I was about to make a theory on that
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.
"Have you ever TRIED throwing a piece of bologna?"
MatPat displaying his utter innocence here. 😂
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.
Pre-poked Capri Sun was also viable.
ICE CREAM?? I want to be a 90s kid.
I miss being able to buy ice cream for my friends for mere pennies and destroying our pancreases and teeth! Oh childhood, I miss you1
I was in a full on food fight in high school that was actually started by someone winging a mini piece of bologna from a lunchable and it sticking to a girls cheek
Well my elementary school still has ice cream to buy 😙but for $1 😒
Baloney
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.
Similar upbringing. I actually don't know anyone irl who's been in a food fight. It seems like one of those TV sitcom things.
But fights w weapons, yeah. Food fights? Nah
Oh yeah there were regular fist fights in my school’s cafeteria but never any food fights
The fact that this is 8 months, yet also has all of the new hosts premiering in March
sorted through New to just see if anyone commented
Throughout my life, I've experienced 5 food fights. The biggest one was in my 9th grade class where, around the same time, someone cherry bombed a toilet.
What you mean by Cherry bombed? Literally bombed or just messy ⟵(o_O)
Hey Theorist team! Reporting from Jamaica🇯🇲: My school used to allow sodas but when I got to grade 11, there was a policy that only allowed fruit drinks to be sold at schools. This was in hopes of reducing sugar intake in teens.
The administration didn't know that those are basically identical when it comes to sugar content?
@@SentinalhMC Fruit drinks still have less sugar. Especially if they are not 100% juice.
Fanta?
Wanna.
Not me tearing up at the surprise Nugget cameo 😂 I was SO hoping for it when he mentioned the best lunch food, and then there was Steph’s voice blessing my ears 🥺
I thought it was Gloom lol
So I find it amazing that the four people he has at the beginning of this video are the same ones taking over the channels ❤️❤️❤️
Only Mat could make a 15 minutes essay about the best strategy in food fights
who asked?
@@Red-hot_Pyro this is a comment section, literally the point of it is for people to share their thoughts, don’t be such a grouch
But the essay part of this video wasn't even 12 minutes.
@meatcanyonoffical 😂
true
Okay but hearing Steph's Nugget voice was the highlight of this episode for sure 😂😂 made my day ❤
Shame all the Kindergarten stuff is done (to my knowledge), would love more Game Theory videos to return to it
wait thats steph
Nugget should get his own Food Theory episode about Chicken McNuggets.
@@jaketaller8567 there already is one. Look it up.
2:50 We need a part 2 or 3 for options 2 and 3. You know, for self defense purposes when that particular food fight occurs and running away isn't a viable option.
Definitely has to be something spicy x_x
10:44 - Unless you crush the blueberries, they'll just bounce right off your opponent.
Chew em and spit the blueberries at people XD
I am utterly appalled that they did not have an actual food fight to test the theories. 😂 Love the shows glad the circle is complete
I love the idea of a kid who choices their meals specifically with food fights in mind. Ever prepared to win.
The real missed opportunity is that they didnt do a live experiment on this. I need a part 2 with them actually doing a food fight using the methods they discussed
No
Maybe
Yes

Sweet potato casserole. Every school I went to had it at least twice a week, and while it may not seem like it it has a lot of structural stability when put under the right force it works just like a good sticky clump of mud.
My friends and I spent some entertaining hours plotting how we could use the interesting layout of our university cafeteria for the most epic food fight imaginable. Even came up with rules such as "if you participate, you stay to clean up" with an eye to keeping the administration happy.
If you ever get to do it please post how it went ❤️💛🖤💚
@@geekygoods7476 I certainly would love to tell you, but I'm afraid these plots were nearly twenty years ago now and nothing came of them but laughter and amusement. :)
@@FairbrookWingates dang it. Well I'm glad you had a good laugh making them 💛❤️💚🖤
I have, in fact, been pegged with a small ball of mashed potatoes. It was just as effective as you're expecting for throwability, but in my experience, that results in someone catching hands, not a slice of pizza to the face.
My food of choice is salt. Very portable, very high damage crits. Very undetectable.
This takes the hunger games to the next level. Self note: matpat is using synergy
10:00 Thanks for bringing back the best character to ever bless this channel
Never had a food fight, but I think a slingshot with grapes would be deadly!
Frozen grapes even better 😂
What about frozen tanghulu grapes? (Tanghulu is a dish of a fruit or vegetable covered in hardened sugar, if thick enough it may knocked someone out)
@@notplaceerrorlol as Mat said, we don’t want criminal charges 😂
@@HateHater2205 if there are also not fresh it would be scary
Tip: To make a liquid grenade, get a collapseable plastic bottle with a twist cap (water/juice/diet coke). Unscrew the cap so it's just on and throw. Alternatively, if it's soda, you can shake it beforehand; If it's not, you can take the lid off entirely.
My favorite food fight has got to be from RWBY; nothing like people from a combat school getting into a food fight. Not to mention, "I'm queen of the castle! " is an awesome line.
"My vengeance will be swift! It will be merciless!! It will be DELICIOUS!!!!"
Yang when she "equips" two turkeys as boxing gloves:
"Geneva laws? More like Geneva suggestions, am I right?"
@@terry_the_terribleThere's no Geneva in Remnant. ;)
Ruby definitely won the food fight in RWBY. Im glad that Im not the only one who thought of that fight watching this.
@@DragGon7601Absolutely! That food fight was LEGENDARY! 🤩
I would really like a video about using food in a self defense scenario. I wouldn't be surprised to see that it could be lethal, because anything can be used as a weapon.
10:37 i thought matpat said he would never call them nugs again 🤔
I remember the food fight at my school. Several kids planned it. And I remember the cafeteria staff saying they should have caught it earlier. Especially since kids were walking out to the tables with trays covered with condiment cups full of ketchup and mustard. It lasted only a few minutes, but the room and kids were covered with red and yellow splatters.
Better than one that the class above us did. I had friends a grade above me that told me that there was a food fight where they had left milk to spoil in lockers before they planned to have one...
And were they forced to clean it, or was the poor underpaid janitor forced to stay late to clean it? 😠
Oof to the spoiled milk comment. Ew
The janitor, everyone involved got a detention, got off easy
youtuber Ice Cream Sandwich actually had a food fight experience. apparently basically everyone but a small portion just flooded to the doors to escape the fight, but apparently the small percentage of fighters was still enough to cause food to rain down from the heavens onto everyone trying to escape in the roiling rapids of people.
edit: dont trust the reply with the "full clip." its very fake.
edit 2: the clip is no longer fake :D
Here is the actual video from ice cream sandwich about the food fight
th-cam.com/video/5fJfBJN-cnQ/w-d-xo.html
edit: the bot got removed so only the real video exists
@@pipipi4412 thanks for being legit. o7
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.
I experienced a food fight once, it was pure CHAOS and unlocked a whole new fear for me 😅
If i ever see Matpat in a foodfight, im running faster than the most aerodynamic pinapple can hit the other side of the cafeteria
Edit: That's most likes i had! Thank you all!
Edit: woo 300 likes!
Omg that responce is great
That- yeah I would do that too.
I thought you would try to take him out first.
Also take all the good stuff liquids ,things that stain etc.
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.
i love how team theorists are voicing all over this video! more of them pls!
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.
This has got me thinking about the best ways to get rid of stains 😰 always got me googling “removing mustard stain, removing tea stain, removing milk stain, removing oil stain”. Could be a fun vid and experiment worthy in the-theorist-laundry-room.
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?
Randall Munroe did this with a steak. Do you want me to tell you how it would go?
@@noiwvernsonic1358 sure, I’m curious 👀
@@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
Swing around a baguette “you get a concussion, you get a concussion, you all get a concussion!”
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😂
"Ollie, you'll have a 2nd lunch. Dont eat it. It contains a water bottle, mashed potatos, chicken nuggets and ketchup. Call me before attacking."
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
Beets. Especially canned or pickled beets. They're hard enough to keep their shape when you throw or use a spoon to catapult them at your opponents, yet soft enough to spread everywhere when they hit. Add in their staining power (you can actually use beets to make pet-safe paint), and you have another great contender.
I'm convinced that pies are the ultimate food fight food. If y'all don't know, there's a movie called "The Great Race" (go watch it, it's culture), and at a point in the movie, the cast has a giant pie fight. This being said, many of the cast said it felt like being hit with a brick :). Keep that in mind. Besides that point, pies can stain clothes, get smushed into your hair (and be difficult to get out), and you have a wide variety of pies that can serve different ammunition purposes. There's also the range that they affect, which can provide more splatter and pie shrapnel than some other foods. And of course, they taste delicious!
8:05 my school didn't allow soda even though there was a soda vending machine right next to the cafeteria
That does not even make sense like seriously what?!?
@@johanjamesmercado The reason it was put there was because my school was also a church, so it was there for people exiting the church. Still really dumb though
The foodfight scene from RWBY still lives rent free in my mind. When my time comes, it's Turkey Boxing Gloves while I'm tanking the onslaught.
As a bonus use for the tray, you could use it to deflect food coming your way and launch it at other kids.
This unlocked a core memory for me. In high-school i remeber sitting with the other seniors, i was enjoying my lunch untill someone yelled "food fight." As soon as that started, the lunch ladies closed off the area, i jumped up, ran to the doors to try to get to cover. When that didnt work, i pressed myself to the door and prayed i didnt get hit. I didnt, my lunch was still in tacked and my backpack was clean. I was lucky XD
8:26 you can easily compress that with your hands
5:00. Toss a slice of bologna like a frisbee. It might glide more smoothly.
I feel for breakfast foods, pancakes coated in syrup would be quite effective, throw like a frisbee for distance, and could have the whole thing sticking for awhile
MatPat: (proceeds to make a video on how to win a Food Fight)
Ex-cons, once he gets to the third possible win condition: (takes notes)
Schools, by the end of the video: (takes notes)
05:30 Wait. So I can not use my freshly harpooned and cooked Megalodon Steak to win?! Ah, a pity!
I remember that there were food fights when I was in elementary school and high school. Both times, they were organized by advanced placement students who were really into arts and theatre. Neither of which I actually participated in or saw, but they were kids from my grade, most likely the same kids both times.
The best part of this video was the return of Steph'ss Nugget voice, missed hearing her use it
WAIT THE START HAS ALL THE NEW HOSTS THATS SICK FORESHADOWING
1:33 also the janitor on his way to quit his job
Matpat is the kind of guy to take 1 food item and find a way to turn it into a entire essay with a complete thesis, body paragraphs, and conclusion
And I love it
@@TheStaticWhisperer lulz, and I love that too
Matpat: With these, we'll always be ready in the event of a food fight, friends.
*[Immediately after recording]*
POV: Matpat walking into the kitchen.
Steph and the rest of the Theorist gang: *FOOD FIGHT!!!!!*
Matpat isn't ready for a food fight, he's ready for a food war
😂
Amy is just perfect in the intro “I WILL BURN THEM ALL” just perfect❤️
I was in a food fight in high school. I was in JROTC and at one of our weekend events we organized a food fight on the lawn. It was awesome, even some teachers got involved!
Your school sounds fun
I somehow find this face adorable

5:01 i love how matpat implies that he frequently hurls bologna across rooms, honestly i’m not surprised😅
I know how to throw bologna
Like a frisbe
I want a second episode based on fighting to the death using food.
Celery scythe!
😂🤣
That video would definitely be very useful
Lee: I'm just saying Mat, you should learn the lore.
MatPat: Are you challenging me?
0:50 random eye on the right middle
Corner
@@karenmejia5163in what world is that a corner
Although you quickly dismissed this item, I'm a major proponent of saucy spag-bol and garlic bread with Gatorade. Like MatPat mentioned, sugars, acids and tannins are present in both tomato sauce and the electrolyte drink; but the lipid-locked garlic butter will also leave your opponent with a nasty grease stain on laundry day as well. Throw in a berry pie and some parmesan cheese, and you also get a rather balanced meal too😊
You guys should make that shirt from 10:12 in the episode, because I'd buy at least one if not two. You underestimate my love for tyedie.
My school scheduled a school fight in a separate room from the cafeteria during a week for seniors (along with many other activite). It was optional and 1 rule is that after the fight you stay and help clean up. I didn't participate-mostly because for some reason everyone else knew about this going on and needing at least 1 change of clothes for 2 days of the week.
My school had a vending machine relatively close to the cafeteria that had all sorts of sodas, but they were the typical 12 oz cans. We could have them during lunch and during the after school hours when we were waiting for the bus on early release days, but only in the cafeteria. This is actually how i snuck myself some caffeinated drinks when my mom didn’t let me have them growing up 😅
