Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
With the 423rd comment in yesterday’s Ridiculous Board Game, Phunk correctly guessed In-N-Out Burger. Congratulations! As Donny Kerabatsos would say, those are good burgers.
You win the free mental_floss t-shirt of your choosing – and it looks like you’re choosing “When Life Gives You Scurvy, Make Lemonade” (my personal favorite). I’ll be in touch to ask all kinds of personal questions regarding your whereabouts.
Let’s give Mangesh a hand for his artistic vision. And if you have any ideas for future Ridiculous Board Games categories, please leave a comment.

How about drawing one of those dittograms? Someone could draw a naked bear, right? (bare bear)

Jonathan — Didn’t you win one of these? Did I ever get your contact info about your free t-shirt? Or am I making all this up?

As a reader from Upstate New York, I have to ask… What is an In-N-Out Burger?

How about famous dead person?

I, too, have never seen/been in/heard of In-N-Out Burger. This contest was regionally slanted! BIAS!!!!
Just kidding. But seriously, now I really want a burger. I’ll stick with White Castle, though.

As a loyal resident of Michigan, I have only had the pleasure of In-N-Out once in my life. I did have to travel to the Great State of California, but boy was it delicious! Plus it helps that I’m a huge Lebowski fan. Thanks Floss!

Never been to an in-and-out, but I have heard of them. Our fast food chains up in New Hampshire are pretty vanilla. McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s, Taco Bell and very little else.
It deeply saddens me.

Those’re some fancy-schmancy drawing skills there.
I’ve never been to an In-N-Out Burger either. I DEMAND A RECOUNT! sorry, couldn’t help myself.

I can’t say I’ve ever been to an In-N-Out Burger, then again I don’t always pay much attention to fast food…
Maybe the next category should be a dessert.

What is an In-and-Out Burger ?
“Waffle House” could have been interesting…

I love In n Out burger because:
-the Burgers are freshly griddled
-the Potatoes are sliced right before theyre plunged into the oil for tasty fries
-The “Secret Menu”
I also find it adorable that the “secret menu” item is printed on the reciept as its secret name, not “chocolate/Vanilla/Strawberry milkshake” but “Neopolitan Shake”
Yum.
Everytime i go to the West Coast, i make an effort to get In n Out.
Mmm is an understatement.

hmmmmm……never heard of In-n-Out Burger here in New England. Guess I’ve gotta get out more……

To those who have never heard of In n Out… it is the most delicious, freshly made burger you can get your hands on in California, Southern Nevada and a couple of cities in Arizona. The people are friendly, the menu simple and the line out the door of every one you go to should be reason enough to want to eat it. I am stationed in England and currently deployed in SW Asia, but I know I’ll be camped out at an In n Out as soon as I take a trip home.
