SPEAKER_00 7:01

Chips and dips. Probably we'll go through them, but I think that was the that would think that was the favorite.

SPEAKER_01 7:10

What are they called? Tortilla chips and salsa?

SPEAKER_00 7:12

Like that too. Did you know that that's a meal to me.

SPEAKER_01 7:15

Did you know that tortilla chips are day old tortillas? That's how they first came about.

SPEAKER_00 7:20

Well, yeah, because they cut, did you ever cut up tortilla like the we have them because we went to the supermercado in Grand Rapids, the Mexican or Spanish uh grocery store. Okay. And we bought some um shells that are made in Grand Rapids, and you cut them up and then you deep fry them? Uh oh.

SPEAKER_01 7:41

Sounds good.

SPEAKER_00 7:41

Yeah. They're tortilla chips.

SPEAKER_01 7:43

Well, now I feel dumb. Everybody knew that.

SPEAKER_00 7:44

Oh, yeah. I didn't know that. Well, now you know. Damn it. Don't do it. You should feel smarter for knowing it. I do. What do you think is the most popular snack by weight?

SPEAKER_01 7:57

Beef jerky.

SPEAKER_00 7:58

You're guessing that for everything, aren't you?

SPEAKER_01 8:00

I'm serious. It's not by weight, you mean cotton candy.

SPEAKER_00 8:05

Uh but it doesn't weigh much. So hot popcorn and then potato chips, just FYI.

SPEAKER_01 8:14

Do you like microwave popcorn or no? Jesus, shut that down. Do you like the jiffy popcorn?

SPEAKER_00 8:20

I love the jiffy pop that pops in the thing, but it never works out. It always burns. We just make it. I made some last night. Put a little oil in, put some popcorn in, turn it on, and there you go. I mean, five minutes later, yeah. Oh, you have popcorn. What about those in my hand?

SPEAKER_01 8:41

Well, I mean, you had those things.

SPEAKER_00 8:42

Pop or I we had a really good one that had the hand crank turn and it it moved the kernels on the bottom. It was so good, but somehow in one of the moves the top got lost. And now we can't.

SPEAKER_01 9:00

That's a bummer.

SPEAKER_00 9:00

Yeah, I held on to the bottom of it for a long time. I do remember popcorn poppers. This was like in the maybe late 70s, early 80s, their big thing was electric popper, and then you flip it over, and it's a bowl. So yeah. And then there came the air poppers where you put it in and it kind of shoots it out. But I don't even see those anymore. The best popcorn, though. Movie popcorn.

SPEAKER_01 9:31

Oh shit. Butter it up, man.

SPEAKER_00 9:34

I mean, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:35

Hey, let me get your you're a savvy entrepreneur, business lady, woman about the world. What do you think about um if Elpina had a uh popcorn store?

SPEAKER_00 9:46

Especially in the summer for the cruisers and I think it could be a small like this size. Yes, yes. Oh my gosh. I think it could go. You'd have to have like some chocolate or something to Yeah, it can't probably just be popcorn. But you could, but yeah, I think it could. Okay, so here's an example. When we were visiting Jenna and Mike this couple weekends ago in Grand Rapids, we went to Horox.

SPEAKER_01 10:18

What's that again?

SPEAKER_00 10:19

SPEAKER_00 10:26

I don't know. I don't know. There's one in Lansing and there's one in Grand Rapids. I think there's another location too. Anyway, there are greenery, they do, you know, garden stuff, and then they have gifty stuff, but they have fabulous grocery parts too. So they have lots of international foods and lots of um, you know, like hard-to-find things, and they have bulk candy.

SPEAKER_01 10:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 10:49

And they have a gelato bar, no kidding, which is fabulous because they'll let you test it. And they have a soup bar, no taste tests. Um, but they have a soup bar, but they also have a popcorn bar. And so they have all these different popcorns, you know, because you have sweet, you have savory, you have mixed, you have salt and pepper, you have cheese popcorn, of course, then every kind of cheese. And so they do pretty well with their popcorn. They have some pre-bagged and some you wait for it. And then you think of that cattle corn you can get in the summertime or at fairs or wherever. Yeah, I'm on board. Okay, let's talk after the show.

SPEAKER_01 11:30

SPEAKER_01 16:08

SPEAKER_00 16:10

Uh Daryl?

SPEAKER_01 16:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:12

Uh no. We're rush.

SPEAKER_01 16:14

We did a thing when we were talking about Rush.

SPEAKER_00 16:15

Oh no, Daryl wasn't a. I don't know if Daryl likes Rush.

SPEAKER_01 16:18

Daryl, what do you listen to?

SPEAKER_00 16:20

Daryl, are you listening to Rush?

What are you listening to when you're eating your chips?

SPEAKER_00 16:23

I know he likes Dolly Parton.

SPEAKER_01 16:25

Who does it?

SPEAKER_00 16:25

I don't know. But what I was getting to was uh he then he said, no, ruffles are his favorite with homemade onion dip made out of sour cream and onion soup mix. Your mother has made it. I'm sure. I doubt it, but tells me it's sour cream, and you take the packet of onion soup mix, although Daryl's family used two. Two packets is a lot of sodium.

SPEAKER_01 16:56

Yeah, well.

SPEAKER_00 16:56

And you stir it up, and it's so delicious. We made it not too long ago.

SPEAKER_01 17:01

SPEAKER_00 17:24

So Jay told me his favorite snack is a biscoff cookie. And I have to say, I'm with you, Jay. They are delicious, and I love to have them with a ginger ale. Maybe it makes me feel like I'm flying somewhere. Um, Brooks, his son, likes, and he is two. He likes goldfish, fishies. Fishies. And uh Harley also went with biscoff because she said she never knew of them until she was an adult. So it feels like a really special snack because she wasn't privy to biscoff. And it used to, you know, that was the plane. When you went on a plane, that was one of the choices, but now you can buy them everywhere.

SPEAKER_01 18:10

Yeah, but you can't buy them in big packages.

SPEAKER_00 18:13

Um, well, probably Kenneth Costco.

SPEAKER_01 18:17

Okay.

Um, Krista, another niece, so Jay and Harley, yeah, my niece and nephew, and Krista says apples and peanut butter. Yay! P and I agree with uh I do like apples and peanut butter together. I like uh bananas and peanut butter also. And she was making PBJ tortillas for her kids for a nighttime snack, like little rolls of them. Okay, and her um daughter Ella said brownie and a glass of milk. So we didn't know if that was snack or dessert, but I I classify it as a snack.

SPEAKER_01 19:17

We'll take it.

SPEAKER_00 19:18

And then Aria said peanut butter, but then she changed her vote to fruits and vegetables. And her mom said, Well, that's kind of lame. But good for you, Aria.

SPEAKER_01 19:29

I'm happy to hear vegetables. Same fruits and vegetables, apple, banana.

SPEAKER_00 19:33

And she's um, I think she's eight.

SPEAKER_01 19:36

Oh, there's time for her to go the dark side.

SPEAKER_00 19:39

SPEAKER_00 20:18

Yeah, that's the best.

SPEAKER_01 20:19

It is, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 20:20

It is.

SPEAKER_01 20:20

That's what I tried telling my family.

SPEAKER_00 20:22

Well, we had forgotten about it and saw it somewhere, uh I don't know where, and we bought some. It's terrific.

SPEAKER_01 20:29

Oh my god, it's velvety smooth.

SPEAKER_00 20:31

I can't eat the other stuff now. I know. And I don't even like I like smooth peanut butter, but sometimes I like chunky. But um, yeah, velvet peanut butter.

SPEAKER_01 20:40

Isn't that funny?

SPEAKER_00 20:41

Oh my god, it's so delicious.

SPEAKER_01 20:42

My wife says, You just like it because it has the old timey looking.

SPEAKER_00 20:45

It does, because it has those funny little um, I don't know, Skippy's pretty good. Jif is Jif is okay.

SPEAKER_01 20:55

Peter Pan.

SPEAKER_00 20:56

Peter Pan's.

SPEAKER_01 20:57

What do you do you like that natural peanut butter?

SPEAKER_00 20:59

No, I don't. But I do like sunflower butter.

SPEAKER_01 21:03

Never had it.

SPEAKER_00 21:04

I think I got it at Trader Joe's.

SPEAKER_01 21:06

Okay. Yeah. Was that downtown here on Chisholm?

SPEAKER_00 21:09

Yeah, right, right now, eat of Michigan. Good. And Leanne likes salt for salty snack, chips and salsa. Salsa, salsa, salsa. People like chips and salsa.

SPEAKER_01 21:21

Yeah, it's salsa is like the number one condiment.

SPEAKER_00 21:24

Salsa? I'm pretty sure. I believe it. Yeah, it's a good, I had it today already.

unknown 21:29

Come on.

SPEAKER_01 21:30

On your eggs?

SPEAKER_00 21:31

I did. Are you kidding me? I know. I had a tortilla show, a little cheese, and I had a little bit of cubed ham, yeah, you grilled up, and I put an egg on it, and you put some salsa, and my favorite condiment, sour cream. Nice, it was delicious. Yes. Marcy's going fresh fruit, but all sweet, she said. And then she did say, I snack more than I eat meals.

SPEAKER_01 21:54

It's more fun. Variety.

SPEAKER_00 21:56

Yeah. And you can kind of graze all day. You don't have to. Sit down and eat a big meal. Now, here's a snack that I am very intrigued by and going to try. This is from Jennifer. She said graham crackers and a frozen Hershey. Like a cold s'more with no marshmallow. I'm going to try it. I haven't tried it, so I can't say.

SPEAKER_01 22:21

I could see where it would be good, but that would be hard to break.

SPEAKER_00 22:26

Uh yes. Yes. And we talked about Daryl's. He likes the onion soup mix dip. Now, Brian, uh, when he was a kid, he liked bugles on his fingers, so he could pretend he had long fingernails. Yep. Yeah. And now his snacked uh of choice is dots, pretzels with peso dip.

SPEAKER_01 22:48

You know, dots makes a damn good pretzel.

SPEAKER_00 22:50

They do make a really good. I had given up on pretzels. Well, I had not been eating pretzels much. Sometimes I get the Snyder, and I have to say the ones I like are those hot, not hot mustard, funny mustard broken pieces.

SPEAKER_01 23:08

You know, here's my thing with pretzels.

SPEAKER_00 23:11

What she likes.

SPEAKER_01 23:12

They're so noisy. Like I'm weird about noises, and like if we're sitting on everyone, like I'll look over and say to Brooke, I'm like, You have a bowl of gravel. But that's that's bad because I'll sit there and eat them and she doesn't say anything to me. I'm a dick. Yeah, you are. Yeah. Not a hero. No hero here. Uh but uh pretzels in general. I just want to say that just a good sourdough pretzel is delicious. And uh Meyer has those butter braid pretzels. Those are good. Oh, they're the best.

SPEAKER_00 23:39

They are very good. I like to dip them in um queso.

SPEAKER_01 23:43

Queso, man. White queso.

SPEAKER_00 23:45

Down dots and queso. My second place is uh better-made barbecue chips. Barbecue chips are good.

SPEAKER_01 23:52

Popular.

SPEAKER_00 23:53

They might be my first place. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 23:55

You like a Pringle?

SPEAKER_00 23:57

I mean, if there's nothing else, and I will say they travel well because of their container.

SPEAKER_01 24:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:03

But they're kind of mush.

SPEAKER_01 24:05

I always want Pringles and I get them and I eat them, and I'm like, I gotta stop cake because I buy them all the time when they're on sale. Two for seven or whatever.

SPEAKER_00 24:13

Wow, that's not even a good deal.

SPEAKER_01 24:15

It's not. Well, for the tall, tall boys, you know.

SPEAKER_00 24:18

I don't know. We just bought some and because we were traveling. Excuse me. And so traveling wise, yes, because you gotta travel chips. Travel chips.

SPEAKER_01 24:27

But then you're dead serious.

SPEAKER_00 24:32

Uh let's see. What Emily said when she was a kid, she liked whales, which are a version of goldfish. Of goldfish. And her sister Ava also said whales. And I said, Is that the only snack your mother fed you? She said, maybe. But now uh Emily likes sweet chili Doritos.

SPEAKER_01 24:56

Oh, those are good.

SPEAKER_00 24:57

Yeah. And Ava likes pork rinds. No, she likes uh kettle jalapeno chips. Oh shit. So they both went to the to the spicy side after those blando whales.

SPEAKER_01 25:11

That's what happens.

SPEAKER_00 25:13

Uh anybody say pork rinds? Uh no. Nobody I talked to said pork rinds, but we had some the other day. We bought them at the supermarket uh in um Grand Rapids, fresh ones. And then I reconstituted them in the air fryer.

SPEAKER_01 25:31

Reconstitute.

SPEAKER_00 25:32

In the air fryer.

SPEAKER_01 25:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 25:34

Because they were like already, they were fresh pork rinds in a package.

SPEAKER_01 25:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 25:38

That we bought at a deli.

SPEAKER_01 25:40

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_00 25:40

And then we took them home, and a few days later they weren't so crispy. So I put them in the air fryer. They were okay. You know, not nutsy about them.

SPEAKER_01 25:50

We had fresh like pork rinds at a restaurant in Midland.

SPEAKER_00 25:55

Oh, they used to make them somewhere in town. I can't remember where. Oh, they're so good if they're fresh. That's totally different. It's totally different.

SPEAKER_01 26:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 26:05

Don't even eat a pork rind out of the bag.

SPEAKER_01 26:08

Well, I do. Do you? I eat them out of the big computer.

SPEAKER_00 26:11

Did you know you can get microwave ones? Come on.

SPEAKER_01 26:14

Why are you microwaving them?

SPEAKER_00 26:16

Well, because they come in a package.

SPEAKER_01 26:18

Like uh No, I only buy a bag and plastic container. I don't know where you're talking about. Your tax bracket's different, Kate. I can't buy those.

SPEAKER_00 26:28

It's like a dollar.

SPEAKER_01 26:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 26:29

I I don't even know where we got them. Um, but we we we had two packages. One we ate. It was okay. If you like pork rinds, it was probably delicious. And the second one is the hot variety, so I'm not eating it.

SPEAKER_01 26:43

You were just talking about how you like hot stuff, though.

SPEAKER_00 26:45

I know I don't.

SPEAKER_01 26:46

What? You just I swear I'm gonna play this back, and you said something about I'm gonna look later.

SPEAKER_00 26:51

Emily and Ava like hot stuff.

SPEAKER_01 26:53

No, you did too.

SPEAKER_00 26:54

What?

SPEAKER_01 26:54

I don't know. You said something?

SPEAKER_00 26:56

Doritos aren't hot.

SPEAKER_01 26:57

You said something about some spicy thing you like.

SPEAKER_00 27:00

I banked a different. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 27:02

Anybody say Cheez Its?

SPEAKER_00 27:04

No. No Cheez Its.

SPEAKER_01 27:05

Yeah, I like Cheez Its. I damn it.

SPEAKER_00 27:08

But a lot of people, not a lot of people, a few people said, uh, like Julie, she said, my favorite snack is the same as a kid and now, and it is Swiss cake roll.

SPEAKER_01 27:20

Oh man. I went to Dollar General when I was at the cottage last.

SPEAKER_00 27:24

I bought a whole case of those things and ate them.

SPEAKER_01 27:27

I'm an oatmeal pies. Oh, they like the oatmeal pies. Swiss cake roll as we okay.

SPEAKER_00 27:32

I asked her this and she said, yes. Do you unroll it? No, I just you just shove it in your mouth. I used that much as a kid, and I know if you have time, you know, it's kind of fun to unroll it and leave it eat it by layer. You know, if you want to prolong your lovely snack. She also likes peanut butter.

SPEAKER_01 27:55

No, was she talking about little Debbie's? Yeah. Yeah. Swiss crazy. Any little Debbie stuff.

SPEAKER_00 27:59

Is there any kind uh nobody else makes Swiss black rolls? Swiss, yeah. Who?

SPEAKER_01 28:04

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 28:04

Nobody.

SPEAKER_01 28:05

I've seen them, Kate. But little Debbie has a nice line of snacks. She does. Zebra cakes, cosmic brownies, oatmeal pies.

SPEAKER_00 28:13

Oh yeah. Notting bars.

SPEAKER_01 28:15

Damn it.

SPEAKER_00 28:16

Paul likes nutty bars, I think. Let's say let's go to where was his? Um yeah, nutty bars. Famous Amos cookies. Oh, yeah. Also likes an eye of great. And we even just bought some because we'll be traveling. So they come in those little um packages, you know. You get like three, but still. Yeah. And Swiss cake rolls. Paul likes the Swiss cake rolls. Did you know that?

SPEAKER_01 28:41

Or did it just lead to that?

SPEAKER_00 28:42

No, it led to that.

SPEAKER_01 28:43

That's awesome.

SPEAKER_00 28:44

Yeah. But as an adult, he did say, as an adult, I feel like I need to eat, and I do eat more apples as my snack. Here's what I like to eat, but here's what reality brings me.

SPEAKER_01 28:57

Well, you need to eat the Swiss cake rolls in the nutty bars, and then you eat an apple to balance it out.

SPEAKER_00 29:02

Well, he's saying just go for the healthy. After school, though, his mom would make um cookies. My mom didn't do that, so I was always very envious of the moms that had the after school cookies. He would he would watch them uh or have the cookies and watch Gilligan Silicon. Oh. And the bedtime snack, and and this was the rule in our house too. After dinner, you can have one snack. One snack. One night I foolishly ate a banana. That counted as my snack. Never again, sir. Never again.

SPEAKER_01 29:38

You got tricked into eating a banana?

SPEAKER_00 29:39

I did. I was so pissed. I still remember going, that's not a snack. That's fruit. Nope, that's your snack. Oh, you will never catch me eating a banana after dinner.

SPEAKER_01 29:48

I was gonna bring a banana.

SPEAKER_00 29:50

I do like bananas.

SPEAKER_01 29:51

Oh. Not a dinner. If you experience, I do, puffiness in the face and whatnot, a banana will help alleviate that because of potassium. You knew that too.

SPEAKER_00 30:01

They're high in potassium.

SPEAKER_01 30:02

You fucking knew the thing about the tortillas and all the banana.

SPEAKER_00 30:05

You think I'm an idiot?

SPEAKER_01 30:06

Maybe you need to get the new podcast person. You need a smarter person on here.

SPEAKER_00 30:11

His so his bedtime, Paul's bedtime fancy snack was cheese popcorn. Oh. I like that too.

SPEAKER_01 30:19

Damn, but there are a lot of snackers here.

SPEAKER_00 30:22

And chips and dip, of course. That was like a holiday thing. So let's see. What Doug liked when he was a kid, he said smarties are anything sweet. Now, chips and dip. We're with you, Doug. Elaine says when she was a kid, she liked the hostess chocolate cupcakes. Not little dubbies, but a hostess.

SPEAKER_01 30:46

Wasn't there a um hostess made the Twinkie too?

SPEAKER_00 30:50

Oh yeah. Cassidy said there's a few snacks I don't like them. That's Twinkies.

SPEAKER_01 30:55

I don't mind a Twinkie.

SPEAKER_00 30:56

I don't like them. I think her too spongy.

SPEAKER_01 31:01

The reason I laugh so much on this podcast is because if you could see the expressions on Kate's face when she's talking about stuff.

SPEAKER_00 31:08

You never will. We will never video this.

SPEAKER_01 31:10

We're videoing this one right now. No, we're not broadcasting it live.

SPEAKER_00 31:14

And Elaine's go-to now is pretzels. Kathy just says ice cream all the time.

SPEAKER_01 31:20

Are you making these people up, or do you really know this many people?

SPEAKER_00 31:23

These are real people, right? Elaine and Kathy, they listen all the time. Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:28

Well, thank you for listening.

SPEAKER_00 31:30

Uh Greg says, anything chocolate? Ava, we already went over hers. Um Paul and Lori said uh in the in her AM snack is a boring granola bar.

SPEAKER_01 31:44

I got some here for you.

SPEAKER_00 31:45

You know, you gotta have a filler. But when she goes in the afternoon, she wants salty, salty crackers or potato chips.

SPEAKER_01 31:52

How were you, let's say, after you eat dinner?

SPEAKER_00 31:55

I'm pretty good. How are you? What do you mean?

SPEAKER_01 31:57

No, like do you crave a snack?

SPEAKER_00 31:59

I usually like it to have a snack after dinner, not a banana though.

SPEAKER_01 32:03

No banana.

SPEAKER_00 32:04

Last night we I had uh I made popcorn. It was delicious.

SPEAKER_01 32:08

Do you think chocolate chips out of a bag are a snack?

SPEAKER_00 32:11

I do, and I've done it.

SPEAKER_01 32:13

I knew it.

SPEAKER_00 32:14

Put it in peanut butter and eat it like um yeah, or sprinkle it on ice cream. I like the mini chocolate chip. Ice cream's a great snack. Ice cream chocolate fabulous snack.

SPEAKER_01 32:23

Those little Andes mints broken up. Oh, that's good too.

SPEAKER_00 32:26

Anything, really. Well, almost anything. Pretzels? No.

SPEAKER_01 32:31

Butter? No. Stick of butter? Is that a snack?

SPEAKER_00 32:34

A stick of butter is not a snack. It's not a meal.

SPEAKER_01 32:37

You've never had a I'm gonna say I have never had it. There's this roll butter. Uh it's some Irish roll butter or something like that we've been buying.

SPEAKER_00 32:46

Oh, the Irish butter.

SPEAKER_01 32:47

It's so delicious. You take it just a little bit and plop it in your pie hole. You ever do that?

SPEAKER_00 32:52

I do not.

SPEAKER_01 32:52

I don't either. I don't. I do.

SPEAKER_00 32:56

But I have like put it on a cracker, put it on a rit.

SPEAKER_01 33:00

I like making little Ritz cracker sandwiches with cheese or with butter. You know, it squeezes out the little holes.

SPEAKER_00 33:08

It does. Oh man. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 33:09

Life is good, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 33:11

Um, yeah, snacking wise. Um, and I just wanted to mention Beth because um is she emailing it to you, type of thing to your ad this moment?

SPEAKER_01 33:20

No, I didn't write it down.

SPEAKER_00 33:21

Uh she says chips and dips, snack for the win for even pretzels and dips. But she said, I think as a kid the only snacks that we had were chips and popcorn and those sugar wafer cookies.

SPEAKER_01 33:35

Yeah, the thin yeah.

SPEAKER_00 33:37

They're different. They're like strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla.

SPEAKER_01 33:42

Those are pretty good. Very light.

SPEAKER_00 33:44

Yeah, I don't know. That's not really a snack that's not. What? It's all snacks, it's between meals. I guess I guess anything like that, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:52

Anything?

SPEAKER_00 33:53

I will also say that Alfie the dog likes begin strips as his snack. Begging, begging, begging.

SPEAKER_01 34:00

You want to know one of my favorite snacks. No, you don't, I know, and I talk too much. And my son and my daughter.

SPEAKER_00 34:08

What are they like? Are you ready? There it is. Yes. Smoked oysters. Is that a snack? I have those as a meal. I love them.

SPEAKER_01 34:18

On a cracker?

SPEAKER_00 34:18

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 34:19

That is a right now? I don't have any crackers.

SPEAKER_00 34:22

No, we don't have crackers. No, we're not eating them on an Oreo crack.

SPEAKER_01 34:25

We could put it on oysters. They're delicious. Nutritious, too.

SPEAKER_00 34:31

When I'm home alone, sometimes I have them as a meal. Just on crackers. Like a little cheese on the side. Yeah. And so um a lot of snacks are uh happen by accident. Chocolate

Snack Origins And Weird Facts

SPEAKER_00 34:46

chip cookies happen by accident. Did you know that Ruth Graves Wakefield of Toll House Inn? She ran out of baker's chocolate. So she just cut up a candy bar thinking it would melt. It didn't. And we have chocolate chip cookies because of it.

SPEAKER_01 35:01

Thank you, Ruth.

SPEAKER_00 35:02

Thank you, Ruth. What was her whole name again? Ruth Graves, Wakefield. She worked at Toll House Inn. You know, that's why they're Toll House cookies. Potato chips, George Crumb.

SPEAKER_01 35:15

Come on.

SPEAKER_00 35:16

Or chum.

SPEAKER_01 35:17

So it probably was crumb.

SPEAKER_00 35:18

I think it's crumb. C-R-U-M. So he was a chef. He invented potato chips in 1853.

SPEAKER_01 35:25

Where did he invent them?

SPEAKER_00 35:26

Well, let me tell you. He did it, I don't know where he was, but he did it as a spiteful joke for a customer that kept complaining that his fried potatoes were cut too thick. So he's like, You want thin potato? MFR? Yeah. Here you go. Sliced it thin. Potato chips were born. How about Pez? Nobody says that's her favorite snack, but we've all had Pez.

SPEAKER_01 35:52

We have.

SPEAKER_00 35:53

Pez started in 1948 as a peppermint smoking session or cessation. So stop smoking. Stop smoking tool designed to look like a cigarette lighter. So here's my question. If you don't want, if you're taking something because you don't want to smoke, why would you make it look like a lighter? I don't know. I haven't figured that one out. And then uh Presbyterian Minister Sylvester Graham, guess what he invented?

SPEAKER_01 36:26

Graham crackers.

SPEAKER_00 36:28

Yes. Thank you. Oh my God.

SPEAKER_01 36:30

I was going to say Sylvester the long.

SPEAKER_00 36:32

He invented it as a plain, wholesome food meant to curb impure or passionate thoughts. Like those potato chips were causing it. I don't know. And did you also know there was no chocolate and white chocolate?

SPEAKER_01 36:48

No.

SPEAKER_00 36:49

There's no chocolate and white chocolate. It's cocoa butter, sugar milk, and vanilla.

SPEAKER_01 36:54

Hey, I'm jumping off topic again. But it has to do with chocolate and chocolate bunnies.

SPEAKER_00 37:00

Oh, I like chocolate bunnies.

SPEAKER_01 37:01

We've probably covered this because we talked about Easter, didn't we?

SPEAKER_00 37:04

Do you eat their ears off of them?

SPEAKER_01 37:06

Yeah, you do.

SPEAKER_00 37:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 37:06

Do you like the hollow or the solid?

SPEAKER_00 37:09

Well, uh Okay. That's a good question because my first reaction is hollow because you get more chocolate, or a solid because you get more chocolate. But then I think I like biting into that hollow chocolate.

SPEAKER_01 37:24

I like the candy eyeballs on those things. I like the hollow ones too. Do you like the white chocolate at all? They're all kind of plasticky, aren't they?

SPEAKER_00 37:33

Yeah. You have to buy a good one and you have to buy it.

SPEAKER_01 37:36

Like Russell Stover. No, that's even cheaper.

SPEAKER_00 37:38

I think that's good anymore.

SPEAKER_01 37:39

That's good.

SPEAKER_00 37:40

Like a homemade one.

SPEAKER_01 37:42

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 37:43

Like from a candy store.

SPEAKER_01 37:44

So, like if you did homemade chocolate bunnies and popcorn, that'd be a good store. I bet you.

SPEAKER_00 37:50

Yeah, I think so. Well, I was thinking fudge at first, and I'm like, eh, no, because everybody in Michigan does fucking fudge. And I don't know, I'm kind of done with fudge. No, I am. That's uh Cassidy's fault. Or thank you, Cassidy. Why? Because she worked on Mackinac Island for years and she'd bring home fudge.

SPEAKER_01 38:12

You got fudged out.

SPEAKER_00 38:13

We had boxes and boxes of fudge in our freezer. And I'm not sure. It's too much fudge. I haven't eaten fudge foods. So I guess I have her to thank for that, really. Thanks, Cass.

SPEAKER_01 38:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 38:28

I got more room for Doritos.

SPEAKER_01 38:30

Yep. Spicy ones.

SPEAKER_00 38:32

Um, and okay, two more little facts about candies and snacks. Um, Hydrox, you know, the Hydrox cookies, they look like an Oreo.

SPEAKER_01 38:45

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 38:46

They came first.

SPEAKER_01 38:47

Oh, did they?

SPEAKER_00 38:47

They did, and Oreo ripped them off. Oreos are a copy of theirs.

SPEAKER_01 38:54

Do they do double stuff? Hydrox?

SPEAKER_00 38:56

Probably.

SPEAKER_01 38:57

I like double stuff.

SPEAKER_00 38:58

Yeah, I like double stuff. There's there's almost too many flavors of Oreos.

SPEAKER_01 39:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 39:05

But you know what my favorite is a double stuffed, dipped, double stuffed mint. No, double stuffed.

SPEAKER_01 39:11

And peanut butter?

SPEAKER_00 39:12

No, you dip them in chocolate, you get the like at Christmas. Oh, yeah, okay. And oh, those are freaking delicious. Damn it. Okay, did you know this? You're snacking on Fruit Loops, right?

SPEAKER_01 39:24

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 39:25

And there's many colors, right? How many flavors?

SPEAKER_01 39:31

One.

SPEAKER_00 39:31

They're all the same flavor.

SPEAKER_01 39:33

They lied to you though. They said they're not.

SPEAKER_00 39:36

Amazing? Amazing, dude. Fruit loops, all colors are the same flavor. I feel like that's kind of a rip-up.

SPEAKER_01 39:44

It is. Yeah. All that dye.

SPEAKER_00 39:46

And so, all right.

Ultra-Processed Snacks And Final Verdict

SPEAKER_00 39:47

Now we we've talked about snacks, snack, snacks and how we love them. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What do you think? Most snacks are ultra processed. Not just processed, ultra processed.

SPEAKER_01 39:57

They will change your fucking genetic making.

SPEAKER_00 39:59

No nutritional value. Excess sugar, salt, fats, chemicals, diabetes. Lots of fruits and vegetables you can snack on. But man, they are Doritos. No.

SPEAKER_01 40:12

They're not Oreos.

SPEAKER_00 40:14

No. So as with many, many things, snacks are a hero in moderation. But if you eat like the snacks in front of you all day every day, that's that's probably not good.

SPEAKER_01 40:35

No.

SPEAKER_00 40:36

That would be dickish. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:40

I don't think they were meant to be dickish. They're meant to be heroic. But like other things, we're abusing them.

SPEAKER_00 40:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:48

But there's way too many snacks. Look at all this packaging in front of us. Where's this packaging gonna go?

SPEAKER_00 40:54

Yeah. Well, hopefully in the recycle.

SPEAKER_01 40:57

None of this is going to recycling. Well, no, you can't recycle this stuff. Can you?

SPEAKER_00 41:02

What?

SPEAKER_01 41:03

Not an alpino.

SPEAKER_00 41:06

I don't know. Beat these quick. They got an expiration beat on them.

SPEAKER_01 41:09

Of when? Well, did they pass already? No.

SPEAKER_00 41:12

Did that stop you?

SPEAKER_01 41:13

No. If it's sealed, it don't matter.

SPEAKER_00 41:16

I don't have a fast buy. I think that's a wake off. We talked about a lot of snaps.

SPEAKER_01 41:39

SPEAKER_01 41:47

I can't believe you hate Milky Way.

SPEAKER_00 41:49

I don't like caramel. Like it's too you don't like caramel? It's too stringy for me.

SPEAKER_01 41:57

In anything?

SPEAKER_00 41:59

Most everything.

SPEAKER_01 42:00

Like no caramel moose tracks or whatever it is, ice cream.

SPEAKER_00 42:03

I mean I'll eat it, but not my first choice. No stickers, no, no candy bars with it in there, please. Personal choice. I think that's still a thing in our country, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 42:14

No.

SPEAKER_00 42:15
