The digest
Rhett and Link, the dynamic duo behind Good Mythical Morning, recently embarked on a delicious and competitive journey across the United States, not by road, but by sandwich. In their segment, "State Sandwich Sluggers," the hosts were challenged to identify U.S. states based on sandwiches crafted from iconic local ingredients. This culinary contest was more than just a taste test; it was a charity competition, with Rhett playing for Reading Is Fundamental and Link for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.
The Rules of the Game
The premise of State Sandwich Sluggers is simple yet engaging. Each sandwich presented to Rhett and Link represents one of the 50 U.S. states. The ingredients of each sandwich are carefully chosen to reflect a state staple, a food grown in the state, or a beverage/food item founded or popularized there. After tasting a sandwich, the hosts guess the state. The closer their guess is to the correct state on the map, the further their player moves around a baseball diamond. The player who accumulates the most runs by the end of the game wins a spot on the coveted "Heavy Hitters Helmet" and earns a significant donation for their chosen charity.
