Food Theory: The ULTIMATE Food Fight Weapon! 

I don’t think I’m entirely convinced. No, MatPat should definitely gather Team Theorist for a live field-test. I’d pay to see that.

I can totally picture Matpat walking into a random public school cafeteria and starting a food fight in the name of science

Is no one gonna mention how his food fight team is also each of the people taking over the theory channels? Bro was hinting at it all the way back here

One of the two major things I anticipated when I first went to high school were random musical outbursts & food fights. None of which came true, shutting down my high school fantasies in an instant

CLEARLY the winner of any Food Fight ever would be a Pink Frosted Sprinkled Donut and anyone who disagrees is simply wrong.

As soon as MatPat said “our testing” I immediately imagined him and everyone else on the team in the backyard flinging globs of food at each other.

I just realised in the Cold Open, it is all the people who will replace MatPat hosting each channel, lol

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

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

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

This takes the hunger games to the next level. Self note: matpat is using synergy

Another thing that could work is those juice ups, Specially grape juice, you could easily throw those to make them explode and grape juice creates some of the worst stains! They’re like grenades due to them being a one use but they can be really effective

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!

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 fact that this is 8 months, yet also has all of the new hosts premiering in March

The intro was def one of the best ever I loved seeing all the now theorists interacting

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.

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.

5:01 i love how matpat implies that he frequently hurls bologna across rooms, honestly i’m not surprised😅

Food theory idea: How can the food in Botw (breath of the wild) and TotK (tears of the kingdom) give you certain abilities like, the Mighty Bananas giving higher attack radishes giving increased vitality. Could they be a sort of GMO? Or is it completely impossible? I’m pretty curious of how even some mushrooms can regenerate stamina or even make you more resistant to damage or the cold/heat. Thanks, Aidan

10:29 I forgot how much I loved Steph's Nugget voice! Still as incredible as ever

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! 🌟

10:32 man you just sent me back 6 years with that nugget voice

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 wish this video was filmed live rather than just a discussion of the results, would’ve loved to watch them test each food like they did with shoes and skulls

MatPat is the only one who can convince me that I can win a food fight and that I’m prepared for it.

10:44 - Unless you crush the blueberries, they'll just bounce right off your opponent.

The food fight I experienced in middle school was over in about 20 seconds, and by the time I realized what was happening four rows of tables behind me and grabbed an orange to throw, the teachers and security patrolling the cafeteria got to the people who started it and I would have gotten in trouble, too. Also, my high school has vending machines with soda in them, so soda is fine in an MPS high school

I would like to imagine that MatPat tested this theory by just hurling random food at Oliver and Stephanie during dinner

The most unrealistic thing in the intro is the fact that Matpat wasn’t the one rambling about the lore and science of a very specific thing.

Little did we know MatPat was foreshadowing the future host of the channels in the intro

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.

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 😁

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.

9:16 don't forget mushy bananas

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 ❤️❤️❤️

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. There's also the 3 specific kids that willingly start it with the punishment in mind)

Part of me really wants Mat to do a follow-up where he watches the food fight from RWBY and evaluates each character's strategy.

Oh. I just realised I watch you for years and I don't think there was a single moment where I wrote a comment. And this 6 days old video is probably not the best way to change that, but here I go: You're great! Your videos are always entertaining, usually at least a bit funny and I love watching all 4 channels of theories. You're doing an awesome job (and your crew as well, it's very fun when they join, especially your wife is entertaining when she's dying from hot sauces). I'm just a woman from Europe, a drop in the ocean of your fans, but I want you to know that you're providing me regular intervals of great fun :3

10:00 Thanks for bringing back the best character to ever bless this channel

"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.

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.

I have actually experienced a food fight. On the last day of school I was in the cafeteria, and I saw a carton of milk fly across the room. That must have been the signal, because a full scale, movie style food fight occurred immediately after that

5:25 did this man just quote Sun Tzu? 😂😂😂

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.

I am so glad that Steph made a cameo as nugget, I need more of it

8:39 bro got that splash AOE damage💀💀

I graduated in 2014 and they never allowed sodas in the regular cafeteria but we had a separate student run store that you could buy them. They did however have Izzies and other carbonated flavored drinks in the cafeteria line.

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?

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.

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 went to a special needs school. Even if food fights were a thing, it would quickly evolve into an actual fight. With that being said i would've loved to get involved into a food fight, one of the few things i actually regretted bout school life* 🙃

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.

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 love how team theorists are voicing all over this video! more of them pls!

4:42. Back of the lunch, closest to the door as you can, but depending on your school’s layout, (yes, lunchrooms aren’t just a big box.) you have an easy escape option. University city high, has pillars all around, so you always had coverage. Overbrook only had two massive pillars in the middle. Depending on your position, this could stain or not stain your “mattpatt jumpers 11s.” 😂😂

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

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.

Hold on, that's the people taking over the theorist channels

Okay but hearing Steph's Nugget voice was the highlight of this episode for sure 😂😂 made my day ❤

Only Mat could make a 15 minutes essay about the best strategy in food fights

Every French: grabs baguette

i like how theres just a slightly angry eye floating at the start when matpat was caught by the principal

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.

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 guy at the start was like evil matpat forcing the lore about starwars onto us

WAIT THE START HAS ALL THE NEW HOSTS THATS SICK FORESHADOWING

10:37 i thought matpat said he would never call them nugs again 🤔

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.

The fact that the milk is not in the middle slot of the tray at the end speaks to what kind of school Matt Patt went to.

This is the definition of the video i didnt know i needed

Never had a food fight, but I think a slingshot with grapes would be deadly!

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 only had one year of middle school, but in the entire year someone blew up the microwave before a food fight ever happened

Give us part 2 and 3. You have me OMEGA intrigued.

8:05 my school didn't allow soda even though there was a soda vending machine right next to the cafeteria

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.

The nugget cameo made my day!!

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 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.

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

Yo I’ve been in a food fight and I’m bloody British 1:40

5:45 He definitely means "chips," crisps aren't a thing. Things can be "crisp" or "crispy" & there can be multiple, but you wouldn't call several pieces of fried chicken "crisps"

I experienced a food fight once, it was pure CHAOS and unlocked a whole new fear for me 😅

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.

Video Suggestion: In Australia we have a hardware store called Bunnings and it is a tradition to have a "Bunnings Snag" when you visit on the weekend. This is a sausage in bread, typically with onion. This is a charity setup with proceeds going to girl guides, scouts, cancer council etc A few years ago they had a slip and fall caused by onions coming out of someones food and falling to the floor. They made it a policy that onions now needed to be under the sausage. I think this makes it taste different (like the burger order and I also think they cook them less and give you less as well.

In the last food fight I was in, the item which dominated the fight was: A large watermelon with a sturdy spoon. Its wielder could rapid-fire bits of sticky red watermelon across long distances, with a high degree of precision and plenty of ammo. It beat even the trusty old ketchup squeezy bottle.

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.

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.

This episode makes me think of an old movie I watched with my parents and recently watched with my own kids it's called "The Great Race" has Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. There is a scene with a huge food fight with mainly cake. Tony Curtis's chracter is the "hero" chracter and he walks through the food fight without getting any cake on him. It's my favorite scene.

There actually is a trick for carbonated soda can sprayers, if you put a hole in the can with a pen, cover the hole with your thumb, then shake for at least 2 minutes it creates a massive geyser of cola. My friends did it all the time in our neighborhood

I love the idea of a kid who choices their meals specifically with food fights in mind. Ever prepared to win.

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

The best strat if you don’t want to get ya clothes destroyed just run into the bathroom

8:26 you can easily compress that with your hands

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?

The only soda we have at our high school is mineral water, which slaps.

I’ve heard from another student a food fight might break out on the final day so I’m getting prepared.

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.

I want a second episode based on fighting to the death using food.
