I’m glad that Link isn’t a teacher or professor. He would tell you how your research paper was pretty good and how he can tell you tried really hard and then give you a 30/100.
I think they should stop telling them the flavors included in each one and just go with the flavor alone, not a preconceived notion of what they think it is and then using that to rate with.
@@weregretohio7728how are you so entitled that you think you get to decide how someone rates something they’re experiencing personally and you’re watching over a screen. Like you’re not even in his place, you’re not playing the game yourself, you’re not invited and they don’t know you exist, but you still believe you have the absolute right to decide how HE rates HIS experience. A situation you literally don’t exist in, but somehow you know his body more than him. You’re so knowledgeable, intuitive, clever and gifted that you know him more than he knows himself. You know everything to the point that you get to decide the correct way he rates something he’s going through personally, more than him. Impressive.
I'm pretty sure Link thinks Piña means coconut, but it just means pineapple. He incepted himself into hating pineapple by telling himself it was coconut.
That would explain why his rating "average" is lower than Rhett's and seemingly everyone else's in the comments. And it's consistent with him being very picky.
Have you tried this without telling them the flavors ahead of the tasting? I feel like sometimes knowing what it is influences their expectations and, in turn, their experiences.
I came to say the same thing. I need to know who was supposed to be the fourth and if it deserves to boot one of the others! Plus, they didn't tell us their personal top choices!!!
as a fellow north carolinian I just want to say, yall feel like home. I come home from work every night and play some games and watch yall. You dont realize the peace yall bring me. I just need a fireplace and it'd be the coziest spot in the nation.
It’s been a while since this Link has shown up. He’s gotten better with his rankings but once you bring in something Link has a history with, he doesn’t go with how much he actually likes it, he goes with what he thinks it should taste like
Agreed and also going on how Rhett ranks, proven when he raised his answer early on after hearing how low Rhett ranked it. Not an ounce of objectivity in his body in this episode.
@@katrose5179 No, a gut reaction is experiencing something and deciding if it's good or bad immediately with no emotional or logical reasoning behind it. What link is doing is thinking "oh this has x in it, I don't like x because of this one instance in my past. Therefore I don't like this thing." The whole Pina Pineapple round illustrated this exactly: link originally liked it and scored it highly before he knew there was coconut in it. That was the real gut reaction. But then during the last bit he discovered there was coconut in it and immediately said he hated it.
Yall should not tell them the flavors until after tasting all and surprise them with what they got. A lot of it is based on expectation and not the overall taste. Especially on links end.
Link was immediately in love with Pina Pineapple... until he realized it was Pina Colada and he hates coconut so he hates it yuck! He's a 5 year old who just learned there's green beans in the casserole.
@@KrakenIsland64Yes, that’s exactly it. He convinced himself it tasted like coconut because he heard the word piña, which he associates with piña colada. The drink itself tastes nothing like coconut whatsoever
Of course Mango is the best. Because Mangos are somehow able to be re created in products really well to still taste like mangos. Personally though for the original flavors I still like Tropical Punch Also that piña Kool Aid doesn’t have any coconut flavoring and it’s really odd that suddenly Link tasted coconut that wasn’t there
Link needs to start thinking of scoring based on 1-10 instead of 1-100 it confuses him too much, so for example he tastes something ranks it a 7 then converts that to a 70 and then if he want to go more specific between 70-80 he can. Its just so weird how he says something is average and ranks it below a 50 which would be average. Links *average* is like 30
The entire media is like this when it comes to movie and video game reviews, except for them it's 7/10 being average. It's weird but it's how things work. Link isn't unique in this.
Sharkleberry is the best flavor. This isn’t gut check anymore, it’s strategy playing to get the flavors you individually like in the top. 👀 lookin at you, Link
Sharkleberry will ALWAYS be the best flavour. I live in Australia now and I order it online coz nothing compares. (It also makes fantastic snow cone syrup and popsicles!)
Link with Mango “this is perfect” scores it an 80. Scores the Pina Pineapple 69 while smiling then later claims he said it tasted like coconut and he now hates it. How can we trust this man’s judgment. Also it seems like he pre judges a lot if you tell him in advance what he’s judging. Everything should be a blind test with him.
after all of his all-over-the-place ratings and an abysmal showing, he comes back in the end with this comedy gold. this episode had a nice silver lining.
I wonder how they would have reacted to Purplesaurus Rex, which is grape lemonade. I tried it by mixing 1 lemonade and 1 grape packet since they dont make it anymore. I really love it tho.
That was a great flavor as well. Throwback to the 80’s. I have bought the zero sugar packets for water bottles at Walmart within the last year or so. Pretty good, but not as good as mixing it traditionally.
Growing up we used to have grape kool-aid and frozen lemonade mixed for a great summer drink. I see a lot of comments saying Link should go first but I think the way to make it more fair is to write it on a whiteboard and both show it. That way no one can change their scores based on the other.
Rhett is your grandpa trying to play a game and distract you while your other grandpa, Link, complains about how everything changed, and he doesn't understand anything anymore.
Probably colored with all of those banned or restricted food dyes in most other places in the world except the US. I grew up on it though so I'm probably like .01% like godzilla from the radiation which is neat.
Watermelon exists so you can mix it with Cherry to get the former Pink Swimmingo flavor (that was later released as Watermelon-Cherry, but has since been discontinued itself).
Ear Biscuits clears it up a bit, their roles on the show are reversed from their personalities. In life, Rhett is much more focused and doing things fully and Link is more live and let live/onward and upward.
I’m glad that Link isn’t a teacher or professor. He would tell you how your research paper was pretty good and how he can tell you tried really hard and then give you a 30/100.
Link is the exact type of person that makes me glad grading rubrics exist. Because you’re so correct, that’s exactly what he would be like 😂
@@abigailfoster3342same reason he has a scoring chart 😂
F&^% Link 😂
He would read the paper then look at his chart to reflect how he felt
It's that southern politeness
Link: says cherry tastes better than tropical punch.
Also Link: scores cherry lower than tropical punch.
I maintain that EVERY time Link's score chart does not explicitly feature his face, his scores are all over the place.
I think you’re onto something lol
I haven't noticed the trend, but he is crazy this episode and the score chart certainly didn't help.
This episode he was actually kinda consistent the first third and then everything went down hill
So that they will keep putting his face on there. Looking at himself and listening to himself talk is his favorite past time
I dont want to overstep but I feel we keep ignoring that Link is definitely neurodivergent.
Link's scores = random number generator
With a 20% chance of sixxxxtyy ninnnee
I think the best part of these episodes is seeing Rhett's sheer judgement of Link's scores
It’s gotta be even more frustrating in person to deal with than through the screen like all of us
@@masquinongy4652The judgemental attitude? Yeah, that would wear me down.
@@masquinongy4652its not that big of a deal
It's funny simply because links logic just makes no sense at all
And his whole mood/ energy shifted after link did it back to him with the lemonade 😂 I love them both though lol
Link - “this is perfect” then proceeds to give his score as 80 🤦♀️😂
ngl I'd do the same
They way Rhett looks so sad every time he uses his abacus gives me life
Man was in deep "I play with this thingy" mode
😂😂
I can’t believe Link convinced himself that there was coconut in the pineapple one. Therefore he didn’t like it.
I think they should stop telling them the flavors included in each one and just go with the flavor alone, not a preconceived notion of what they think it is and then using that to rate with.
@@MissUnderstood.piña is just pineapple
@@MissUnderstood. yeah perhaps. But when he first drank it he didn’t mention it 🤣
Hopeless
@@AVideoMan83 I like that. A blind test is good for this. They don't even have to know what it is at all until the end.
Link lowering his score after learning the "grapefruit" flavor is not grapefruit is peak link.
Watching him rate is legitimately painful sometimes... well, every time.
@@weregretohio7728how are you so entitled that you think you get to decide how someone rates something they’re experiencing personally and you’re watching over a screen.

@@SniperAsian Cry about it
I'm pretty sure Link thinks Piña means coconut, but it just means pineapple. He incepted himself into hating pineapple by telling himself it was coconut.
Or he (subconsciously or not) thinks it's piña colada flavour
It’s kind crazy how he can make himself taste something that’s not there.
but he also liked it at the start when he thought it had coconut flavor.
So weird....
I came here to say this.
I'm fairly sure Link just doesn't like things
That would explain why his rating "average" is lower than Rhett's and seemingly everyone else's in the comments. And it's consistent with him being very picky.
Have you tried this without telling them the flavors ahead of the tasting? I feel like sometimes knowing what it is influences their expectations and, in turn, their experiences.
That’s exactly what I was thinking, especially with Link 😂
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
But that would not be an accurate representation of customer experience. You buy the package knowing what flavour is inside.
Link "Reminds me of cough syrup" Neal would probably benefit from something like this
And they need to be blindfolded
You should have them try the flavour, score it, and then tell them what it was. Because link is so all over the place.
This.
Rhett looks like a 70's wood paneled wall, today.
😂😂😂😂😂
LOL perfection! I love these two like family so its always said with that in mind!
Im always saying that about Rhett
Not to mention the shirt.
@ 🤣
Man, Link's scoring logic is all over the place. Isn't it supposed to be based on flavor? Time to put some reminder text on his scoring charts.
I like how the ending segment card says "Top 4" but Stevie only introduces the top 3
I came to say the same thing. I need to know who was supposed to be the fourth and if it deserves to boot one of the others! Plus, they didn't tell us their personal top choices!!!
Ochenta y cinco 85 in Spanish
And they didn’t say what their individual favorites were either right?
I think their favorite was mango as well (not sure though)
I saw that and immediately came to the comments because I was confused that they chose between 3 flavors instead of four 😂

Rhett’s Gut Check lore is now always a touch of shock after each flavor announcement and going “OH?!?”
😂 yesss
I think ive learned to take Rhett's word on these.
I think they should stop saying the flavour so link can’t pre-judge it. It would be interesting to know how much that is skewing him. Lol
Actually this would be pretty smart. For anyone really but especially link.
I saw the colored score chart and just KNEW it was gonna influence Link’s scoring 😂 Should’ve been monochromatic
My god Link’s rating system makes these episodes so frustrating to watch
Link needs to start going first so he can't sabotage the score
He's...oof
So Rhett can artificially bump up all of his scores to bring the total to what he thinks it should be? That's not a gut reaction my friend lol
Theyre judging koolaid
Who cares?
Fax
I’m a citrus boy who looooves his oranges, lemons and limes. it breaks my heart to always see Rhett and Link score citrus flavors low 🤣🤣
Yall should not tell them the flavors until after tasting all and surprise them with what they got. A lot of it is based on expectation and not the overall taste. Especially on links end.
Link has jeopardized the accuracy of these scores in every episode
Which is why I generally ignore his scores and take Rhett’s word for it. Rhett’s score is the official score in my eyes 😂
Link was immediately in love with Pina Pineapple... until he realized it was Pina Colada and he hates coconut so he hates it yuck! He's a 5 year old who just learned there's green beans in the casserole.
It’s not pina coloada, it’s just pineapple

Please give Rhett a clearly superior and way more cooler chart just to mess with Link
and give link the cardboard 🤣
omg yes this imagine link's reaction it would be amazing
Rhett has been trying to keep link in check for 11 years of gmm.
Sharkelberry Finn is hands-down the best Kool-Aid flavor. Rhett got it, and then the other one just Linked all over it.
Linked all over it 😂
100% agree (and love the term linked all over it 😅 lol)
YES!!!!
It's my absolute favorite!
"The other one" hahaha
Of course Mango is the best. Because Mangos are somehow able to be re created in products really well to still taste like mangos.
Personally though for the original flavors I still like Tropical Punch
Also that piña Kool Aid doesn’t have any coconut flavoring and it’s really odd that suddenly Link tasted coconut that wasn’t there

@@venusrelic2897by his own chart average is 50. He's not judging by his own chart.
They need to give their scores immediately after tasting and then be allowed time to discuss. Them talking about it first alters their opinion.
Sharkleberry Fin, Fruit Punch and Berry Blast have always held a special place in my heart. Nothing was better than a fresh, ice cold glass growing up
And Purplesaurus Rex!!
Just want to make it clear that Koolaid Man is Cherry flavored, which is the original Koolaid Flavor
Someone should make Rhett a super fancy version of Links chart and send it to them.

“It’s decent for what it is… THIRTY!!” I’m crying 😂😂😂
Why was there only 3 in the top 4? And what were their individual choices? I haven't had enough coffee to process this yet today lol

Why do people care so much about Links scoring? It’s HIS scoring.
As someone who never had KoolAid, I am amazed by how it just looks radioactive
have you never seen colored drinks before?
Quick, someone call future canoe
It tastes radioactive too but its delicious
Probably colored with all of those banned or restricted food dyes in most other places in the world except the US. I grew up on it though so I'm probably like .01% like godzilla from the radiation which is neat.
@@Twist911x They said they never had Kool-Aid
Grape and Lemon Lime have always been my favorite Kool aid flavors.
They should secretly convert links scale from 1-100 to 1-50 to get an accurate score
That would be more confusing I think. I think Link’s scale should be 1-10
Just get rid of numbers and do a tierlist. S A B C D F
Cherry is, hands down, my favorite. ❤ Also, why did it say top 4 at the end instead of top 3
You guys should do an everything peanut butter elimination bracket.
Watermelon exists so you can mix it with Cherry to get the former Pink Swimmingo flavor (that was later released as Watermelon-Cherry, but has since been discontinued itself).
Y'all should do blood sugar tests before and after when y'all eat or drink some sugary stuff.

I loved your spanish demostration XD greetings from Costa Rica!
No matter how much yall help him Link is just horrendous at ranking things
Sometimes it must be so frustrating to work with/for Link 😂
