Kent Standit bans Glazed McGuffins, one of Sam and Max's favorite foods.

[edit] In-Depth Synopsis

Excited enough to sing about it, Sam and Max visit the local SlothMart to buy Glazed McGuffins, a favorite snack of theirs. But then they find out that they've been pulled by the Snack, Food and Drug Administration, headed by Kent Standit.

Having six McGuffins left, they decide to pay a visit to Kent Standit, hoping that he will change his mind after tasting one. When he refuses, they try a series of increasingly extreme and bizarre tricks to force him, culminating in a car chase across the country.

Increasingly stressed from his encounters with Sam & Max, Kent loses it when he drives by a Glazed McGuffin factory, and heads inside. They follow him inside where he soon ambushes them and gets them stuck in the assembly line, trying to kill them by turning them into McGuffins.

Sam manages to stop the machine with his badge before it gets to that, and the machine produces a single Glazed McGuffin in the process. He takes it and throws it into Kent Standit's mouth. Forced to swallow it, Kent turns out to actually like them and lifts the ban. Then he mentions planning to ban Pizza Poultices, and the chase is on again...
