Oh I'm in for this picture upgrade. I need to dig in my archives, I have a picture of Dean and I together.

And you non-corn dog eaters, (or as they say in Northwest Ontario "Pogo") you need to dial down the hate. The corn dog is the perfect robotic food. It has protein, starch, some sugar if you put ketchup on it. And it comes with a stick that can be used to repair almost anything. A good corn dog vendor can crank out 100's per hour, lets try any other food place doing that.

IRI isn't about the robots or the teams or the competition. It's about the grilled in the husk corn on the cob slathered in butter and the corn dogs coated with condiments. Where do you think 3 days of energy comes from? What makes the teams flip into overdrive? Hint, it's not egg McStuffins. It's the perfect food, corn, used in two perfect ways.

We can all visualize a Corn Dog Gatling Gun (some teams doing the West Coast, others doing Swerve) to the nines. Not seeing posts of "Here is our NE lobster launcher. Hey launching Bay area shrimp here!. Oh and the Hawaiian kids Pineapple launcher <danger Will Robinson>. Nope, the perfect food and launch-able meal is the corn dog.
