Throwback to the Cheez-It Bowl at Camping World Stadium after the Florida State Seminoles defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 35-32.

For months, we've had countless This or That's on everything from death to legendary experiences, but this was the most controversial yet... Cheez-Its vs. goldfish.

This debate was completely organic. Beetle was around his family just hanging out, snacking on some Cheez-Its while the children were munching on Goldfish. Out of nowhere his sister in-law raised one question... if you had to pick one for the rest of your life, which one you going with?

Beetle didn't hesitate. Cheez-Its are for adults and Goldfish are for children. But after asking around... he realized there were fans of both.

Beetle was floored...

Marc Bertrand: Of course I would choose what you have right here in front of you, which is Cheez-Its. Who in their right mind would choose that baby snack?

Scott Zolak: The person that loves to suck their thumbs.

Marc Bertrand: That's what you give a four year old. Here have a Goldfish, have a pile of Goldfish, you child.

Marc Bertrand: And I thought so that a question like that you box would have no legs for this or that because it would just be stupid to ask that question because 95% of the respondents would say that. They would pick Cheez-Its not Goldfish.

Scott Zolak: I didn't even think about it. Cheez-Its.

Marc Bertrand: But what did she say? She's like, "Oh, no, it's goldfish." And I said, well this absurd. Then I find out as I tell you guys, we've got a this or that question that could never make it. I find out we've got another member of this program who agrees with that take. His name. Thomas Morgan.

T-Bone: Team Goldfish.

Scott Zolak: The guy that doesn't eat is Team Goldfish.

Marc Bertrand: And so to find out in a matter of 10 minutes that there are two people that I know. That I love and respect that believe goldfish would be the answer. I thought to myself. So, oh my God, how many of these lunatics are there out there? How many more of you crazies exist?

Scott Zolak: I mean, how long have you known him?

Marc Bertrand: Long time.

Scott Zolak: He's strange. You're a little bit weird.

T-Bone: A little bit?

Marc Bertrand: He's got reasoning behind it, too. He's got a reason why. What is your reason?

T-Bone: Two words. Pretzel Goldfish.

Final show vote:

Cheez-Its - 3 (Zo, Beetle, Tyler)

Goldfish - 2 (T-Bone and Hardy)

This Or That: Bottom of the ocean… or a trip to space?

On our latest edition of This or That, we dove into whether you'd like to take a submarine to the bottom of the ocean or a rocket to space.

This was inspired by Zo and T-Bone, who have been obsessed with the story of the submarine currently lost in the ocean after a venture to check out the Titanic wreck.

While both are terrifying, this exercise guarantees everyone is making it home without any issues or injuries.

Just a story of the life-changing experience overall.

Here's a look at the inside of a submarine

Before making a decision on which adventure you'd like to dip your foot into... take a look at the submarine.

And now a spaceship...

Next up... what it's like to go to exist inside of a space station.

Zo - SPACE

It took Zo some convincing to choose space, but eventually he caved. He heavily leaned towards the ocean at first because he loves going out on the boat for a spin. But the recent headlines about the submarine that went down to see the Titanic scared him away.

Beetle - SPACE

Beetle didn't hesitate for even a second. He immediately knew his answer was space, and even when Hardy pushed back about the scary trip up, Beetle was prepared to throw a diaper on because it was worth the experience. The ocean is way too dark to actually enjoy anything.

Hardy - SPACE

Similar to Beetle, Hardy didn't hesitate to choose space. You wanna know why? You're guaranteed to see something cool. Whether it's Earth, other planets, or even stars, you're getting a view that very few humans have ever experienced.

T-Bone - BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN

T-Bone was the only member of the show to choose the bottom of the ocean. No surprise because of how much time he spends at the beach. Anything that resembles coastal living, he's down for.

Milliken - SPACE

Milliken has one focus and it's to see/put his feet on the Moon. Especially the "dark side," which has been speculated about in countless films and television shows. Could this be where the Aliens are from? Maybe.
