    I love this podcast please do a watermelon sourpatch kids fun size episode. Also an abracadabra is not a Pokémon. The Pokémon you’re probably talking about is Alakazam

    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.

  • Craziest way to eat a candy? Hmmm?

    I can’t think of any crazy way to eat candy. I just eat it! Especially trying to not bite into a jolly rancher or tootsie roll before it’s gone. And chocolate, yummm, just open the wrapper and go! Sorry guys, I’ll leave that task of finding a crazy way to eat a candy to you. I just want to make sure I gave you 5 stars because you are the best! Thank 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.
