When Were These Foods Invented?

"Today, we're learnin bout the history mall food courts with some shuffleboard!"

When Were These Foods Invented? is the ninth episode of Good Mythical Summer 2021 and the 2003rd episode of Good Mythical Morning. It aired on July 30, 2021.

Episode
Rhett and Link start the episode by saying their favorite memories about malls. Rhett tells a story of how he was interested in Crystal, a perfume girl who worked at JCPenney. He picked her up but thought she smelled too much like perfume for it to work. Link hates malls, but still likes the food court. This leads to

The Shuffleboard Game: Food Court Edition Rhett and Link taste iconic dishes from mall food court restaurants and shuffle their puck to the decade the restaurant was first established, not the time it was added to a food court. Whoever lands their puck physically closest to the correct answer wins the round and earns a point. Whoever is winning goes first as a disadvantage. As Rhett won the last Shuffleboard Game, he went first. The loser will be escorted out of the game zone by mall security.

Bump Fest rules (no bump limit) are still in play (except for certain circumstances in the final round). They added more bumpers to the board to increase bumping.

Rhett says that for Link to win he needs to bump off the back and land directly in the correct decade while also bumping his puck out of the way. Link fails and is escorted away by mall security.
