Rhett and Link hosted an ice cream taste test challenge with 10 popular ice cream truck treats. In this episode, they taste-tested 5 of the 10 treats, including the Fudgesicle, Rocket Pop, Drumstick, Orange Creamsicle, and SpongeBob Popsicle. Each ice cream was given a score from 1-10 based on taste, texture, and overall experience. The mythical beasts, the show's fans, also participated in the survey and their scores were added to Rhett and Link's scores. The Drumstick received the highest score with 23 points, followed by the Fudgesicle and Orange Creamsicle. The SpongeBob Popsicle received the lowest score with 6 points. The remaining 5 ice cream treats will be tasted and scored on Wednesday, and the ice cream with the highest score will be crowned the "Golden Cone" winner.
