The digest
For months, maybe even years, Rhett has harbored a deep-seated grievance against Coca-Cola. The reason? The inexplicable removal of his beloved Caffeine-Free Diet Coke from the Freestyle machines at his local movie theater. Despite his repeated, and increasingly uncomposed, pleas, his favorite beverage remained absent. Coca-Cola Freestyle's social media accounts even playfully trolled him, asking if his therapist knew about his obsession.
But as fate would have it, this long-standing feud has taken an unexpected turn. Coca-Cola Freestyle has not only sponsored an episode of Good Mythical Morning but has also provided Rhett and Link with their very own Freestyle machine! And the stakes are higher than ever: the duo will create their own unique soda mixes, and the winning drink will be available in participating Coca-Cola Freestyle locations across the US and Canada, starting today.
The Freestyle Challenge: Fixin' for a Mixin'
The challenge is simple yet exciting: Rhett and Link will take turns creating new drink combos using any three flavors they desire, with each flavor making up at least 25% of the drink. The other host must then guess as many of the flavors as possible, earning one point for each correct guess. The hosts also agreed on a "no tea" rule, to prevent any mischievous double-tea concoctions.
Link, ever the trickster, started by mixing Coca-Cola, Coke Zero, and Diet Coke. Rhett, despite his initial surprise, correctly identified all three, earning him a point. Link's strategy was to create a "Coca-Cola Triple Threat," aiming to confuse Rhett with subtle differences in taste.
Rhett's turn saw him craft a vibrant orange drink. Link, initially suspecting Fanta, was thrown off by the lack of carbonation. After some deliberation and tasting, Link guessed Hi-C Tropical Punch, Minute Maid Orange, and Powerade Orange. Rhett revealed that Link was correct about the Powerade Orange and Hi-C Tropical Punch, but there was no Fanta. Link earned 1.5 points for his partial guesses.
