Well, his toes are not supernaturally strong! He said he only got superhuman forearms, for steering :D

Man, Airheads must've either paid the big bucks or made the sponsorship hinge on more mentions than R&L typically give. The name of the game, the "though Airheads have long-lasting flavor..." during the plate segment, the "thanks for sponsoring" right before the Wheel of Mythicality fan outro, and ANOTHER plug right afterward. Seemed way over-the-top.

Maybe R&L really like Airheads and they're being paid in product

Despite Rhett and Link's efforts (more-than-usual efforts, might I add), I will probably never eat an Airhead as I'd never heard of them until that episode and I'm quite sure that they don't sell them in Australia. But I think you are right in saying that they advertised Airheads quite a lot (it did get a little bit annoying but it was tolerable and Rhett and Link always manage to make advertising enjoyable and fun!).

Yeah I agree with Grace.. Though I never heard of Airheads too, probably cause we don't have 'em in Italy, I like the way Rhett and Link manage to advertise a product without making your eyes go off the screen. And before you mentioned Airheads here I wasn't even paying attention to how much they talked about 'em, I only thought "man, they probably really like 'em".
