We complete season one with the second half of Alex’s trip to Lolli And Pops.  It’s a tale of sweet and sour and seaweed and pickles.  Lolli and Pops’ Chris Cruz continues to tell us what’s what, and we continue to listen. Thanks for listening to our first season!  We’ll be back in a few weeks after we take some time to relax, think about cool new ways to entertain you, and probably eat some candy.

Like An Adult In A Candy Store (Episode 35a)

Pepsi travels back in time and steps sideways to bring us flavors from an alternate past. How does this 1893 differ from our own?

Am I struggling to come up with these blurbs? None of these questions will be answered in today’s timey-wimey episode. Want more... Read More Read More

Once again we dive into the Easter aisle, and attempt to make a dent in the spring seasonal candy offerings. We take a look at three heavy hitters of the candy world doing riffs on their classics.

Sweet Smell of Cheetos (Episode 32)

We bring Old Dutch back again to see what they’re serving in “restaurants across the upper midwest.”  Will this be the potato chip we eat every time we go out?  Or will it be some unknown chip, only served in obscure restaurants?
