At 21 years old, a baby faced and baritone Brit named [Rick Astley](https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/oEtsC0RX0DuJPpkmi20LlN?domain=rickastley.co.uk/&ref=cascadepbs.org) released his first single, and "Never Gonna Give You Up" was an instant #1 hit in 25 countries. In 2021, the song surpassed a billion streams thanks to [Rickrolling](https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/ysGdCgJQnMFPQDqGT34AKi?domain=en.wikipedia.org&ref=cascadepbs.org), a viral Internet prank.

On this episode of "Your Last Meal," we propose a theory: Rickrolling is the culinary equivalent of molecular gastronomy! You think you're getting one thing and POOF! you get something completely different. Culinary technologist and modernist cooking enthusiast [Scott Heimendinger](https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/uQ7bCjRO06ulNVYRC1jt2I?domain=instagram.com&ref=cascadepbs.org) joins the show to exhibit how he uses molecular gastronomy to create culinary humor.

Plus, Rick shares his favorite European road snacks (he loves to drive)!
