  • The Skiddler Rules

    This is one of my FAVORITE podcasts! I absolutely adore these guys. Love their sense of humor, comedy bits, and their candy reviews. My candy hot take… sour starburst is better than original starburst.

  • Informative and fun: sweet history!

    One of the YouTube shorts came through my YouTube Al Gore Rhythm. I then binged all the shorts and was hooked. Immediately searched for the podcast and it delights just as much if not more! There’s more history and more information in the hour long show compared to a 1-2 min short.

    This is a delightful podcast bringing me casual history on a sweet topic.

    My favorite candy is Coffee Crisp. And I don’t even live in Canada.

    I like candy, history, comedy … but this podcast is painful—three man-boys laughing at their own fart jokes.

  • Unique, weird, awesome

    I’ve been listening to their other podcast about Los Angeles history for probably 10 years or more. I’m not the biggest fan of sweets, but when I want to be cheered up and just feel better about my day, I always listen to this podcast. Great sense of humor, awesome segments, and always fun and positive attitude and vibes that they spread. Thank you guys, love listening to you.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

M&M's (Plain and Peanut)
Q: Why not just a five?
Because there is maybe out there the perfect thing, where the ratios are exactly the same, but the chocolate is better.
M&M's (Plain and Peanut)
Q: What are you, the dirt that's being cleaned up?
Yeah, that was a hilarious comment we made while reviewing past candies.
M&M's (Plain and Peanut)
Q: Can you do it?
Yes, Peanut M&M's might just be the candy that gets a five from me when we taste them!
Crunchie
Q: So Greg, what are we doing?
We are reviewing the Crunchie candy bar and discussing its history and flavors.
Caramelo de Coca
Q: Is this candy legal?
In short, maybe. Coca in any form is illegal in the United States.
