“Before the barbecue sauce [goes on the McRib] it looks like corpse flesh. Like I worked at McDonald's, and it's like the color of like corpse flesh.” -Billy D’Elia
The guys put the commercial & jingles from their childhood to the test like 'Zestfully Clean', 'Big Red', 'Pizza Bagel Bites', and the infamous 'Chili's Baby Back Ribs'. They also try to figure out what was so fancy about Mount Airy Lodge, how did anyone survive Action Park, the infamous ‘Crocodile Mile,’ and let’s not forget the most Long Island commercial of all time for the 'Commack Motor Inn'.
