Anthony's Favorite Food: Giant Gummy Snake
Trailer
The video opens with an announcer explaining that Food Battle is canceled due to YouTube's new "food related violence" law, and this year's Food Battle will look something like this (shows a dog playing with itself in a mirror). Angrily, Ian (as another announcer) shoots the first guy and says that Food Battle 2013 is on.
Plot
Introduction
After a stare down, Anthony and Ian both declare a rematch, since last year was confusing when Anthony switched his brain with Ian's. Anthony then pulls his new food out of his pants: the giant gummy snake (From Vat 19). Ian accepts the challenge though at the point where he is supposed to devour two of his donuts and start the battle proper, Ian doesn't have his donuts. A person behind the camera hands them to Ian and Food Battle 2013 begins.

Alternate Scene #1
After Anthony chooses to do a blanket to hide a dead body, Ian accepts as he comes up from the table and the camera comes closer to him while having the creepy look.
Alternate Scene #2
After Anthony took the book, Anthony talked differently. Even the cameraman thankfully thought that was the alternate scene.
Crystal Ball
Ian asks why Anthony has a band-aid. Anthony prepares to explain but Ian falls asleep and Anthony yells "let's do a CRYSTAL BALL!" and Ian wakes up. A narrator says "Don't worry folks. Anthony said crystal ball, not balls. Oh f**k it! I don't know why I'm bothering to explain this!"

Ian does a victory walk through the garage as the Food Battle News Reporter follows him, declaring Ian the winner of Food Battle of 2013.

Trivia/Goofs/Notes
Most info about this and the announcement were announced at the end of the Livestream.
In the trailer at 0:45, behind the black censor box (that reads: "SECRETS ARE BACK HERE") you can visibly see something that looks like the Giant Gummy Snake.
This is the second Food Battle where Anthony's food was candy. The first was in 2011 where Anthony used the Rainbow Lollipop.
Running Gags:
The Gummy Snake coming out of Anthony's pants.
Ian hitting himself on the head whenever he hears someone say, "balls".
Anthony's gummy snake probably didn't predict the real future, since it predicted that Ian would die so Anthony could win; which nearly happened though didn't showing the possible fact that The Gummy Snake was something that sees events through a parallel universe due to the multiverse theory.
Just like every Food Battle's "SHUT UP!" Opening, a person usually says that he's eating something "very good". This time he doesn't get to finish what he wanted to say before he was Shut Up'ed.
As heard in the video, Anthony sings a butchered version of the jingle from Folgers' Coffee in the first battle.
What Anthony did in the beginning (taking the snake out of his pants) was possibly in reference to the Hot Dog Weiner's campaign video where other foods made fun of Hot Dog for looking like a penis, so the viewers can think that Food Battle 2013 was Pink Frosted Sprinkled Donut vs. Hot Dog Weiner due to the d**k joke.
In the "Blanket to Hide a Dead Body" battle, Ian is whistling the tune of Miley Cyrus's "We Can't Stop".
This is the second latest in the year that a Food Battle was released, as most of the others were uploaded way earlier, such as 2007 in May, 2008 and 2009 in July, 2010 in August, 2011 in September, and 2006 and 2012 in October. the successor to this video, Food Battle 2014, was released on November 21st, 2014, even later than its predecessor. And the successor to that video, Food Battle X, was released one day earlier, November 20th, 2015.
When Sgt. Anous shoots Anthony, it is done similar to the way it is in the "How-To" Series, although he doesn't scream "BULLSH*T!!!" before shooting, and when he fires his pistol, it fires completely automatically. This would have meant that he is firing his pistols in a rapid sucession.
It is shown in Food Battle 2009 that Anthony smashes a glass on Ian's head without knocking him out. A similar thing happens here, while this time, a beer bottle was used though was a "break-away" prop.
This is the second time Ian doesn't say "NOOOOO!!!!" to the Food Battle Reporter at the end, the first was Food Battle 2011, when they both were in the afterlife.
In the Money challenge, when Anthony KOs the prostitute, the KO effect obviously comes from Super Street Fighter IV and its own arcade edition.
This is the last Food Battle (as well as the last Smosh video overall) to have been filmed at Ian's parents' house. Anthony stated in the BTS for Food Battle X that they stopped using this house for Food Battle to give Ian's parents their privacy.
This is the last Food Battle video where Anthony has his emo hair.
This is the last Food Battle video where Ian is the winner.
