Which Fast Food Do Rats Prefer? (EXPERIMENT)

Yes, Internet, we red your emails. and we listened to your voice messages, and now we'll find out. which fast-food burger rats prefer. ( music playing ). Recently a video of a rat in a fast-food restaurant in China. spread across the Internet faster than you can say MSG. - Let's watch it. - MSG. Link: World Star. Rhett: Okay, so there you have it. If you've ever needed proof that rats like fast food--. But it did get us wondering what kind of fast food. do rats here in America like? And the truth of the matter is,

rats actually have a highly developed tastebud sense. - Of course they do. - In the tastebuds. So we have decided to put those tastebuds to the test. To the rat zone! Here we are. This is Master Splinter. We are going to be presenting him. or her-- we don't really know-- I don't wanna check--. with two competing fast-food options. to see which one he prefers. Now, we're going to put him in this maze, which is basically just one lane. That's why we're calling it the "Fast Lane o' Fast Food.". On opposing ends, there will be two competing fast-food dishes.

for Master Splinter to decide between. Okay, on this side we've got. the delectable Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich. And over here we have KFC's Chicken Little. I think we should acquaint him with each one. just so he just sort of--. - Yeah. - Yeah, I'm not gonna--. Let him know what's there. Just don't let him eat it, though. Oh, gosh, he gets really excited. when you get him close to chicken. - And then he-- - Okay, now. He smells both. Now we're gonna put him in the middle.

Come on, rat man-- oh, of course. What? Master Splinter's just looking for the exit. Now, once he realizes. he's in a safe but exit-less environment, then I think that he's going to decide to eat. a chicken sandwich. Yeah, Chick-fil-A. You know where it's at. I don't know why I'm rooting for Chick-fil-A. I mean, just because it's on my side. Oh, he's getting himself clean. He's cleaning his snout. Getting ready for chicken. Is that a zoological fact? That's a pre-chicken routine, yeah. I always do that, you know, wipe my face down.

before I get it greasy again. Oh-Oh, yeah! Yeah! Yes! - Yes, he-- - He did it. Okay, he ate it. He ate a little bit. Master Splinter has chosen, Oh, look, he's pushing the bun off. - with zero influence from us, - Look at him. the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich. 'Cause he did check out Chicken Little over here first. Science, guys. Here is the Taco Bell taco. Here is the Del Taco taco. Link, why don't you introduce Master Splinter to yourself.

and also the tacos? - Hi. - Oh, come on. - Come on. - He knows. - He-- - He wants to be with you. Hello, I'm a dog person. Dogs have nothing to do with your species. Neither friend nor foe. So that makes me neutral as well. Okay, let him smell the tacos. Start with this one this time. Let's just see if it's the one he gets introduced to first. Okay, smell the Del. Smell the Del Taco. Oh, he's wanting to go after it. - Taco Bell. - Oh, gah--. Taco Bell There it is.

Set him in the middle. - I love the way he has that moment. - He's just like... He has that moment, like he knows the stage has been set. Oh, he's going towards the Taco Bell. Uh, he didn't eat it. He didn't eat it. Link: I would love for him to check the Del Taco out. and then make a decision. Hey, buddy, Del Taco's over there. He's doing his chicken face, by the way. He's doing his getting ready to eat cleaning thing. - You call it that chicken face? - Chicken face. He's doing chicken face, which is a scientific term--. Okay, now it's getting a little excessive, Master Splinter.

I mean, you're going down to the hip region. I don't know about that. You look great. Don't worry about yourself so much. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Ooh. He has now acknowledged the Del Taco taco. He's eating it. He's eating Del Taco taco. Rats prefer Del Taco! The new slogan! Yes, Internet, we red your emails. and we listened to your voice messages, and now we'll find out. which fast-food burger rats prefer. You're welcome.

Okay, we've got the McDonald's Quarter Pounder with cheese on this side. And over here we've got Wendy's Dave's Single with cheese. Okay, calm down. Calm down. We need to tell him-- No, rat--. That's McDonald's. This is not fresh, but they've announced. that they're gonna make their Quarter Pounders fresh. - And that's Wendy's. - Okay, now... I wonder if they smell the freshness of the beef. Well, really, do rats prefer square patties. - or circle patties? - Or round--. I feel like we're doing a service. for the scientific community at this point,

not just the people. Man, he's so-- he gets so excited about his choices. But he plans it out. Yeah, this is like when you're out with your friends. and you're driving on one of those roads. that's got both a Wendy's and a McDonalds. You know those roads. He's checking out the Mickey D's. He's not eating yet, guys. He's smelling. - He's disciplined. - He's disc--. - He's more disciplined than a human. - Discerning. I've never just smelled a burger. - I've always just gone in for the bite. - Right. Now he's gonna do chicken face. There-- Here he goes. Just let him do it. He likes to come to the middle, It's showboating a little bit.

When you're gonna chicken face, you're front and center. All right, chicken face is getting a little intimate. It's like he's getting ready to go on a date with a burger. Now you're going on your back? It's so excessive. You don't need to do this. We understand. Chicken face is important. Chicken body is important. But now it's time to eat a burger. Stop touching your frickin' face and eat a burger. There we go. Here we go. Yep, yep, yep.

- Wendy's! - He did it. He's eating the Wendy's. Master Splinter, and rats everywhere, prefer Wendy's over McDonald's! Wendy's Dave's Single with cheese. Oh, wow. This has been so special. Yes-- Oh, gosh, I really smudged it. Okay, and by the way, we're absolutely not suggesting. that any of these places have rats. We just scientifically determined. which food rats prefer. And because Master Splinter did such a wonderful job, we are going to award him with a custom made.

cheese trophy! Set it right in the middle. Here you go, Master Splinter. We've learned he won't eat it immediately. We'll just be sitting around watching him do his chicken face. and hopefully he'll eat the trophy one day. And you keep watching, because we're about to get in. on the next YouTube craze-- soap cutting. Rhett: Raise your hand if you're a Mythical Beast.
