The digest
Eating around water can be a delightful experience, whether you're boating, dining by a lake, or even, in a pinch, swimming. But what happens when your food takes an unexpected dip? The hosts of Good Mythical Morning put a variety of popular snacks to the test, submerging them in water for a minute to see which ones maintain their structural integrity and, crucially, their edibility.
The Klondike Bar vs. The Crunchwrap Supreme
The first round pitted a classic ice cream treat against a fast-food favorite. Link, opting for the Klondike bar, believed its frozen, chocolate-coated exterior would offer superior impermeability. Rhett, on the other hand, chose the Crunchwrap Supreme, drawing on past experiences where burritos held up surprisingly well underwater. The results were stark: the Klondike bar quickly began to disintegrate, turning the water milky and losing its shape. The Crunchwrap Supreme, while thoroughly soaked, remarkably maintained its form. Rhett's initial assessment of structural integrity proved correct, despite Link's insistence that taste should also be a factor. The lesson here is clear: for structural resilience in water, a well-wrapped burrito-like item triumphs over a chocolate-covered ice cream bar.
