In this episode of Good Mythical Morning, the hosts conduct a fast food taste test to determine which chains offer the best value in terms of toppings, comparing pizzas from Pizza Hut and Domino's, curly fries from Arby's and Jack in the Box, and subs from Jersey Mike's and Subway. Ultimately, they find that Pizza Hut has more pepperoni, Jersey Mike's offers significantly more meat, and the onion rings from Carl's Jr. are deemed superior.

- Jersey Mike's subs contain significantly more meat than Subway, with Jersey Mike's averaging 5.86 ounces compared to Subway's 3.56 ounces.
- In a comparison of curly fries, Arby's is noted for having more satisfying curls, while Jack in the Box offers a mix but also has some disappointing pieces.

Pepperoni Toppings on Medium Hand-Tossed Pizzas: Pizza Hut vs. Domino's
The investigation began with counting pepperonis on medium hand-tossed pepperoni pizzas from two different Pizza Hut and Domino’s locations to account for variability.
- Hypothesis: Domino’s is believed to consistently place more pepperoni (approx. 40 pieces) than Pizza Hut.
- Method: Each pizza was sectioned and pepperonis were counted individually using a clever system employing cashews.
- Findings:
- Counts ranged significantly by location.
- Pizza Hut pizzas had 31 and 34 pepperonis (average 32.5).
- Domino’s pizzas had 25 and 38 pepperonis, averaging 31.5.
- One Domino’s location notably underperformed (25 pieces), lowering their average.
- Conclusion: Overall, Pizza Hut slightly edges out Domino’s in pepperoni count, but inconsistency within and across locations means no universal standard applies. Consistency is important, but Pizza Hut showed a marginally higher average pepperoni count.
