Tapping Melvin for the game, Yang put 30 seconds on the clock. While Melvin initially seemed caught off guard and appeared to search his mind for a subject, once the rant began, he was unstoppable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t think so, honey: peanut butter,&#8221; Melvin began, earning gasps from the duo. &#8220;George Washington Carver created the peanut, he gave that to us.
