00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Savor production of iHeartRadio. I'm Annie

2
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Reese and I'm.

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 2: Learn Vocal Bam, and today we have an episode for

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: you about holly jolly holiday marketing.

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: Yes, I think it's a tradition. It isn't We do

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 1: this every year?

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, because uh, as it turns out, brands never stop

8
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: being really wacky in questionable yet festive ways.

9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: Indeed, it is the most wonderful time of year for

10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: that for holiday marketing. However, I have to say I

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: didn't find as many completely whacky ones this year, but

12
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: I found a few that balanced it out, Yeah, with

13
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: being so wacky. Yeah that I'm like, Okay, You're like, well,

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: on the whole of it, this is all still pretty weird.

15
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh oh my goodness. That is a true statement. Yeah.

16
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: None of these are currently our sponsors, although anyone who

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: we don't defend feel free to reach out.

18
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, he I mean here we are. We're clearly

19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: intrigued by some Yeah. Whether that intrigue is more of

20
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: the grotesques or legitimately want to try that's that varies.

21
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: That varies, That varies, But we're here. We're here yeah always, Yes,

22
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: And this one is a bit of a grab bag.

23
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: I've got to say, even four are past holiday marketing episodes.

24
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: There's just a lot going on, is a lot.

25
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, late stage capitalism. I love it.

26
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: All right. So let's start with some of the food

27
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: offerings this holiday season has brought. Yeah, one that got

28
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: a lot of press was Oreos. We've been talking about

29
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: Oreos a lot lately. Yeah, yeah, Well, they released Oreo

30
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: Festive Cookies, which are Oreos with layers of red and

31
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: green filling, stamped with holiday shapes penguins, snowmen, gingerbread men,

32
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: candy canes, and rudeolph complete with the red nose. The

33
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: flavor of the filling is still the classic vanilla, so

34
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: it is it's both red and green. It's not like

35
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: you get one of the other, like when they did

36
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: that Star Wars promotion where you were like, right, yeah, yeah,

37
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: it's both. It's both at the same time.

38
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. And and they're they're cute, you know, they are cute.

39
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: The little pictures on top of the cookies are cute,

40
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: and you know, they go out of their way to

41
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: say like these these are the normal flavor, normal Oreo flavor.

42
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 2: They just look different that it's normal flavored. Yeah.

43
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: I feel like there was a lot of things I

44
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: found like that this year, where it was like, oh,

45
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: it's a new shape, but it's still the same flavor,

46
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: whereas in previous years we've gotten very wild flavors.

47
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be like turkey stuffing oreos and you're like what,

48
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: and they're like you like it? What?

49
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: And then they've pivoted clearly, So maybe their market research

50
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: bore something out. Then a Twizzler released a holiday treat

51
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: of their own, cherry flavored Christmas trees. I was very

52
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: intrigued by this, Okay, just because in my mind I

53
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: always think when I think Twizzler, I think the rope candy.

54
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: But apparently they've been experimenting a lot with holiday themed

55
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: shapes in their Twizzler bites.

56
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: Why okay, So yeah.

57
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: They just look like cute little Christmas trees. But they

58
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: did also release a new candy rope flavor, mary Berry

59
00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: Punch twist.

60
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: Oh I'm sure mary Berry punch. Yeah absolutely, why not?

61
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you? It rhymes? How can you say no?

62
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: Exactly? Yeah?

63
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. To to me, I'm struggling with the idea of

64
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 2: shapes because Twizzler is a shape like like that's it's

65
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 2: the shape of a Twizzler, right, I'll accept other rope

66
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: shaped candies or or shortened rope shaped candies, but it's

67
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: my brain is obviously inject It's like nope, nope, nope, no,

68
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: thank you.

69
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. I mean when I saw it, I was like,

70
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: I would never think that was a Twizzler. But I

71
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: guess Twizzler's got to really grapple with that. They, I mean,

72
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: don't sold an image yeah, of what a Twizzler is

73
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: and what the shape is. And now they're trying to

74
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: do other things and we're like, what.

75
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: Maybe, hey, look if they want to change up their shape,

76
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: I support them.

77
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: Apparently they did like ghost shapes that were really popular

78
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: at Halloween. Yeah, so yeah, they're trying some things. Cool. Yeah.

79
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: Here, this next one is something that I glossed over

80
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: in our recent McCormick episode, but you have gone further

81
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: into detail with which which I appreciate because it is

82
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: it is objectively funny.

83
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: It is pretty funny. So McCormick released limited edition finishing

84
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: sugars for the holidays, and they include flavors like candy cane, gingerbread, spice,

85
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: English toffee, white frosting, hot cocoa, and salted caramel. And

86
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if it isn't clear the reason we do

87
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: these episodes, we do kind of love the goofiness, the wackiness.

88
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: The press releases they're fun. So an example description from

89
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: their site and you can look them all up, but

90
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: this is one of my favorites. Quote hot cocoa a

91
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: creamy blend of chocolate, vanilla, and coco aromas that e

92
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: folk feeling of cozy and chilly evenings by the fire.

93
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: Use it to top homemade fudge, bark or chocolate dipped pretzels,

94
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: or to add a touch on frosted cakes or whipped

95
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: cream topped beverages. You could add hot cocoa finishing sugar too,

96
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: You're hot.

97
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: Cocoa, what cocoaception?

98
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: Too much? I just loved this, Like when your bar

99
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: the fire here you go.

100
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

101
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: Yeah.

102
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: Also, just the term finishing sugar is real special it is.

103
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: That's it's cute.

104
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: It's cute.

105
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: I can't say it's not cute though.

106
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: Like how nice? Yeah I have I have a friend

107
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: recently was telling me about how she loves a good

108
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: finishing sugar and I was like, either, I've never heard

109
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: this before, or it's only because I recently learned about

110
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: it that I'm actually.

111
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 2: Listening attention it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, for something

112
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: completely differ for the holidays, McDonald's released this limited edition

113
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: half gallon jug of McRib sauce. For those who don't know,

114
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: the McRib came back to certain McDonald's stores. I think

115
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: I think December third, that sounds about right. This jug

116
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: dropped on November twenty fifth, for nineteen ninety nine. Its

117
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: label was a festive Christmas sweater type print with these

118
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: like bands of snowflakes and pine trees and white on burgundy,

119
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: you know, like McRib sauce Burgundy. And it had little

120
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: floating McRib sandwiches in between the Christmas trees and the snowflakes.

121
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,920

00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: of these for the holidays, I need to.

00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,679
Speaker 1: Know about in a meeting.

130
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is critical information.

131
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: Very critical.

132
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: Oh we.

133
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: We need to make some grab some charts, gotta do

134
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: some studies. Oh we do, we do.

135
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: Okay, this half gallon of McRib sauce pales in comparison

136
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: to this next one though.

137
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: Yes, this one I thought was an onion article. At first.

138
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: I had to verify the veracity of it. Uh huh,

139
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: completely true. I am at a loss for words. But

140
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: we must talk about Sam's Club Hola Dogs, Holi Dogs,

Speaker 1: Thanksgiving associated foods like mashed potatoes and gravy or turkey.

145
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,599
Speaker 1: According to the company's press release, they were intended to

146
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: address the question of what to eat between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

147
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: The tagline they used was the best of both holidays

148
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: in one bun.

149
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,320

156
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 1: pulling out decorations. You're in between the holidays. Everything's confusing

00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: and you don't know what to eat. Oh hello, HOLI dog,

158
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: nice to meet you. Half Thanksgiving, half Christmas, all dog.

159
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: Okay, And for anyone who isn't aware, Sam's Club hot

160
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: dogs are kind of a thing. They're real and expensive,

161
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: they're serviceable hot dogs. You can get one while you're

162
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: you know, shopping for gallon tubs of mayonnaise or whatever

163
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: you're doing in Sam's Club. And it's a whole thing.

164
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: It is. And I actually really want to come back

165
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: and talk about this because I know Costco also has

166
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: kind of an important hot dog situation. But yeah, Sam's

167
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: Club really went all in. So they have three varieties.

168
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: The holiday mashup just mashed potatoes and crumbled Christmas cookies

169
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: on top of a hot dog. Frankly both pumpkin pie

170
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: and crushed candy canes, seasons and eteeks me e ati

171
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: ngs if it wasn't clear, slices of turkey and prime

172
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: re roost on top of a hot dog.

173
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

174
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: Yes, So they were only available in three cities and

175
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 1: I believe it was always at a cart kind of situation, okay,

176
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: and caused quite the commotion on social media. Understandably, the

177
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: company encouraged people outside of those cities to make their

178
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: own using Sam's Club ingredients. So again I should have

179
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: specified when I said, you can still it up on

180
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: the website. I mean, yeah, of course Sam's Club website

181
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: still exist, but you can still see the like press

182
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: release for all of this, and they do have like

183
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: how to make these hot dogs great?

184
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: Because I was about to put candy canes on top

185
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 2: of a hot dog at any second. That was what

186
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 2: was in mice in my cards today.

187
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: Well, interestingly, your sarcasm was noted by Sam's Club because

188
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: they seem to be aware that this was a weird

189
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: stunt no one asked for. Here's another quote from them.

190
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: You asked for delicious holiday favorite piled on the world

191
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: famous Sam's Club hot dog, or maybe you didn't, but

192
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: we did it anyway. Yeah they yeah, sure they sure did.

193
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: They sure did. And I have to read some quotes

194
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: from this article. Honestly, go read the whole article. It

195
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: is very funny, but here are a few quotes from Matt.

196
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: It's written by by Joe Vigolito quote, the creations are

197
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: almost too monstrous to believe true abominations on a bun.

198
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: But could these hot dogs possibly taste as horrific as

199
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: they look? To answer that question, I tried do the

200
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: holladog cart in Laura, Manhattan to sample these calamitous concoctions

201
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: for myself. And Okay, so the consensus seems to be

202
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: the season's meetings is the winner. That one's the one

203
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: that's like, this is a little much better.

204
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, well, I mean sure, it's just you're putting

205
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 2: other meat on top of a hot dog.

206
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: It's like turkey and ray roast that goes together. That's okay, right,

207
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: And that was the one the reviewer tried first, and

208
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: then came the other two. The article goes on, the

209
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: second dog was far less subtle, pairing gravy laden mashed

210
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: potatoes and frosted sugar cookie crumbles atop the same all

211
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: beef hot dog. This is also about the point where

212
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: the taste test began to feel more like an affront

213
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 1: to humanity rather than a fun holiday promotion. While the

214
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: first two hot dogs might be considered suitable, albeit absurd,

215
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: fulfillments of the holodog premise. The wheels truly came off,

216
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: with the final one frankly both. Once again, the individual

217
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: components of this hot dog were fine. The pumpkin pie

218
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: was sweet, the candy cane shards were peppermintea, and the

219
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: frank was characteristically plump. Combined, though it was an unholy mess,

220
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: Perhaps the only value to come out of eating this

221
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: hot dog are the existential questions it forced me to confront.

222
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: It turns out, should I eat this hot dog with

223
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: pumpkin pie and candy cane on? It isn't too far

224
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: off from why am I alive? Or has God forsaken

225
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: us all? It's so good? Oh goodness, it's really great.

226
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: I reckon that you read the whole thing. I mean,

227
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: just to just to note. I'm sure it's not a

228
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: surprise to anyone. But it's also difficult to eat these.

229
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: They kind of fall.

230
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: Apart, sure, Yeah, yeah, it sounds difficult to keep all

231
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: of that going on a single like in a single bun. Yeah,

232
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: because you know, like like some of these toppings are

233
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: not especially that last one right, like like pumpkin pie,

234
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: Like if you had like a pumpkin pie spread, if

235
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: you had like a like a little spread of pumpkin

236
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: pie filling in there. Then I could see it being cohesive.

237
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: But it's just a piece of pie. There's no way

238
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: to contain that within a bun.

239
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: No, just like there's no way to contain these questions

240
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: after you try to eat it. Oh oh gosh, that

241
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: was a late fine for me, and I was very glad,

242
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: I found horrified and happy.

243
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: Existential crisis. Indeed, well, I think that we both need

244
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: a little bit of a break to ponder ponder these questions.

245
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: So while we do that, let's take a quick break

246
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: for a word from our sponsors, and we're back. Thank

247
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: you sponsors. And okay, so things that I should have

248
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: guessed but didn't ever really look into. The United States

249
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: is not the only place that puts usself ourselves through

250
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: this kind of thing. No, yeah. So meanwhile, over in

251
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: the UK.

252
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: Bailey's, through various partnerships, has launched two new Christmas themed products,

253
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: squirty Cream and Expresso Extra Thick Cream. And all right,

254
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: if you, like me, have no idea what either of

255
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: those things are, because you apparently don't speak enough British.

256
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: Squirty cream is their term for like whipped cream and

257
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: a canister you know, with a little squirty tops. Squirty

258
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: cream was so much more fun.

259
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 2: Okay, no, no, well all right, like our term is

260
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 2: more laborious, but a lot less like gross to my

261
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 2: ears fun gross, I sure?

262
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah.

263
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: Also, extra thick cream here indicates a type of.

264
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: Like potted custard, and I read on a grocery store

265
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: kind of industry site that it won an award of.

266
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah, sounds okay.

267
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: Sure.

268
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 2: Aldi's over there. Also released a couple of festive sauces.

269
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 2: A Brussels sprout che hot sauce and then like a

270
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: spiced cranberry hot honey hot sauce. Sounds sounds fine, that's okay.

271
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

272
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 2: The Snack Brand Tailors launched a few flavors potato chips,

273
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 2: by which I mean crisps and also popcorn. The crisps

274
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: come and flavors hot honey, pigs and blankets, and then

275
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 2: bree bubby and orange and then spicy prawn cocktail ridge cut.

276
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 2: The popcorn is an amaretto and orange toffee flavor. The

277
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 2: bree bubbly and orange is the one really throwing me.

278
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I can't bathom it.

279
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 2: No, no, exactly, because right I'm like, okay, bree sure orange, Okay,

280
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: what the heck is bubbly flavor? And how do you

281
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: put it on a chip?

282
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? Like if you said mimosa, maybe I'd be like,

283
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: okay still or orange?

284
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: Orange is the flavor of right?

285
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: We need answers.

286
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we can't even subject ourselves to this one.

287
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: I furthermore, until like today, apparently did not understand how

288
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 2: important pigs and blankets are to British Christmas traditions. There's

289
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: also a brand of squeeze cheese called Primula that has

290
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: released a pigs and blanket flavor of squeeze cheese for

291
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 2: the holidays, so you can put pigs and blanket flavored

292
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 2: cheese on top of your holiday pigs and blanket.

293
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: Wow, we're getting a lot of put your hot cocoa,

294
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: finishing sugar and hot cocoa, but your yeah, squeezy cheese.

295
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: Our marketer's just tired. Are they just going? We heard

296
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: you like this thing? You want to put that thing

297
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 2: on top of that thing? We can help.

298
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: I feel like Holly Hollywood reboots. I did notice that

299
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: too when I was looking into this. A lot of

300
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: pigs and blankets, yeah coming up. Yeah, so we'll have

301
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 1: to listeners right in, but also we'll have to look

302
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: into that. Yeah, sure, share sting. We do have a

303
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: couple of honorable mentions. One of them that caught my

304
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: eye Dots lump of coal gum drops, which are black

305
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: gum drops with BlackBerry or black cherry flavor.

306
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: And I'm I'm fascinated by the fact that they're not

307
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 2: licorice flavored, because that's something that Dots already mikes. They're

308
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: called crows, but they're in the dots shape. I'm guessing

309
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 2: that they wanted this to be fun and not like

310
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: an actual punishment for the I'm guessing like ninety percent

311
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 2: of American children who do not like licorice flavored things.

312
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:57,000

325
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,040

Speaker 1: That m's it's little Santa claws do. But that's why

332
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: I had to look into it, because I like wondering how.

333
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 2: The texture plays out in that I don't know. Yeah. Also,

334
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 2: although any gingerbread house could be Barbie themed if you

335
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: wanted that, Mattel did license a gingerbread kit called the

336

337
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 2: like a modest, mid century modern looking gingerbread house, along

338
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 2: with cookie versions of Barbie and Christy and Barbie's dog

339

345
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: of food, we do have a couple of drinks. I

346
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of the things I found, I

347
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: was like, oh, sure this beer company did pomegranate in

348
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: their beer.

349
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 2: Sure.

350
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: But what I saw that a lot of people were

351
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: writing about and people seemed excited about, was Seven Up

352
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: has released a flavor, seven Up Shirley Temple.

353
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: Okay.

354
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: In it are the flavors of cherry and pomegranate, and

355
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: they're available in regular and sugar zero sugar versions. People

356
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: seem to really dig it, not the zero sugar version

357
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: so much, but the regular one people are really really

358
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: excited about.

359
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that sounds festive. I'm sure it's a nice bright,

360
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 2: reddish pinkish color. Yeah, cans are pretty heck yeah. For

361
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 2: this next beverage entry, what you need to know first

362
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: is that is that Duncan Donuts has a line of

363
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: branded alcoholic canned cold coffees and teas. This was news

364
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 2: to me. Oh dear, Like they're made by Harpoon Brewery

365
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: in Boston. Like the teas that have some like fruit

366
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: flavors added, the coffees are creamy. They're all right at

367
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 2: like six percent ABV. So if you want an alcoholic

368
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: coffee and a can and you know, and instead of

369
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: making one yourself, then you can go and purchase that

370
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 2: if you are of an appropriate age in your area.

371
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 2: And so, yes, for the holidays, Dunkin Donuts released a

372
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 2: peppermint mocha iced latte that's alcoholic in a can. The

373
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 2: tagline shake up the Holiday Party.

374
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: Oh that's a cut to moment. You're like, yes, let's

00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: try this, Dudela, And then I'm.

376
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 2: Really wondering about the flavor on these guys.

377
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, each their own. I think that would

378
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: give me a headache. And also I can't really have peppermint,

379
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: but even so, yeah, that would give me.

380
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: Hey, but hey, yeah, if you're into the peppermint mocha

381
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 2: iced latte thing, yeah, and you're of an appropriate age

382
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 2: in your area, drink responsibly.

383
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: Exactly.

384
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 2: Well, we do have a little bit more to talk

385
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 2: about here, but first we are going to take one

386
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 2: more quick break for a word from our sponsors.

Speaker 1: And we're back. Thank you, sponsor, Yes, thank you.

388
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 2: Okay, So I wanted to put in here at least

389
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: one non edible food related item because why wouldn't we

390
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 2: talk about something non edible on a food show? Because specifically,

391
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 2: they've gone and don and again with the food scented perfumes.

392
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 2: We've had a whole mini episode about these kind of

393
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: stunt perfumes that brands will co create. This one is

394
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 2: new for the holiday. Miller high Life collaborated to create

395
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 2: dive bahfume m with scent notes from your favorite dive bar.

396
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: No, listen, when I think of a dive bar, I

397
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: love a good dive bar, but I'm not thinking of

398
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: the good smell of the.

399
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: Positive sensory like scent related Uh No, not really, not

400
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 2: really like oh yes, bleach and stale beer.

401
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: And that's no one's gotten ill.

402
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 2: According according to today dot Com, the scent notes involved

403
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 2: included a cedar wood and patuli meant to inspire the

404
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: wood of a bar top, you know, tobacco and leather

405
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: for the scent of like a good, well worn bar stool. Yeah,

406
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 2: Shimpaka blossom, which is kind of flowery, a reminiscent of

407
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 2: a bartender cracking open a Miller High Life. Okay, it's yeah, sure,

408
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 2: sure uh and then uh sea salt for the basket

409
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 2: of fries that you obviously order along with your champagne

410
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: of beers.

411
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: Yes, that I agree with.

412
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 2: It was available. The perfume and the or the bar

413
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 2: Foom in limited quantities for three days only for sixty

414
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 2: dollars a bottle, and its time is passed. So sorry

415
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 2: about that, folks. Again, listeners, if one of you got

416
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 2: in on this before it sold out.

417
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, please, Oh it doesn't sound bad of it.

418
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: I don't agree with necessarily that this is what my

419
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: dive bar was been like. But this doesn't sound that bad.

420
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: You know.

421
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 2: That sounds yeah, no, that sounds that sounds pleasant. There's

422
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 2: a few like like, I'm not really a fan of

423
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 2: Petula you or Shimpaka, but but the rest of that

424
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 2: sounds nice. So like half of the things I wouldn't enjoy, but.

425
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the other half you'd be like, Okay.

426
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 2: If someone was into that kind of thing, I could

427
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 2: see where it would be nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Another

428
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: thing that we did miss this was more of a

429
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: like Thanksgiving thing. So Baskin Robbins has apparently more than

430
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 2: once had a Flavor of the Month for November meant

431
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 2: to evoke a cheese plate. It's called Bree my guest.

432
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: Yes, of course.

433
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: It's apparently a combination of bri and Barata flavored ice

434
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 2: creams with like pieces of almond and pistachio and apricot swirl, so,

435
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: you know, just to get you in the holiday, in

436
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 2: the holiday mood.

437
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: I think I probably would like that. Actually, oh that

438
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: sounds great. That mad later, but I the flavor in

439
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: that moment, I would be very happy.

440
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, absolutely, yeah, I'd try it. That's next year,

441
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: we'll look out.

442
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, Well, speaking of next year, I just want

443
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: to do a quick run through of some of these

444
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: trends I found that are related to the holidays. I

445
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: have discovered. I don't think it's any surprise to anyone.

446
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: I'm not on a lot of social media, and especially

447
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: I've never been on TikTok, so that's a lot of

448
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: these things. But friend of the show, friend in real life,

449
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: and my co host over at s mivinty, she just

450
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: did a wrap up of like big TikTok trends okay,

451
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: and so many of them. I was like, what what

452
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: so listeners right in, uh, if you have any experience

453
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: with these? One I found that kind of made me

454
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: raise my eyebrow. A bone broth hot chocolate apparently a

455
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: trend on TikTok yep where you swap out the milk

456
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: or water for bone broth. What, Yeah, I don't. I'm

457
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: trying to.

458
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 2: I mean, sure, fine, you know, I like I put

459
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 2: cocoa in my chili. I'm still mad about it. I'm

460
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 2: trying to not. I'm like fat, I'm like checking myself,

461
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: like are you just mad that it's from TikTok? But

462
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: it also seems really emblematic of TikTok, so.

463
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:36,239
Speaker 1: Well, I know your feelings about bone broth, just as

464
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: a kind of how it's labeled and stuff.

465
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: Just it's just stuck. It's just stuck. We had a

466
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 2: word for it.

467
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: It's fine. I had to be rebranded, Laura. Yeah, so

468
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: many of these. I'm like, we're not, we aren't judgmental

469
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: over here about food, but so many of them, I'm like, wow,

470
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: I did really miss this. I did not see this anywhere.

471
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: There are a lot of candy trends freeze dried candy

472
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: and candy salads, which are just bowls of candy.

473
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 2: I think, how much of them do you eat at

474
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: the same time.

475
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: I think it's like a it's like a pot look,

476
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: but different people bring different candy and make different candy videos.

477
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, if this is what you're into, I

478
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: support you. I don't understand it. I don't have to

479
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 2: not everything has to be for me, No.

480
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: Exactly, both of us. One piece of candy could do

481
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:44,239
Speaker 1: us in. So yeah, have your candy salad. Another thing

482
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: I saw a fig leaf in everything, ice cream, parfet

483
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: syrups and cocktails and dressings. This one may have been

484
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: more UK based, so listeners right in. I was into that. Yeah.

485
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: Another one that made me feel really old. Classic martinis

486
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: was apparently a big trip. People be like, have you

487
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: tried this? It's got a lot of olive ju.

488
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: This wild thing called a martini, but a classic one,

489
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: like not a lemon drop a martini.

490
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it comes it always comes back around.

491
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that's legit. It's a good cocktail.

492
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: It's nice. It's a classic. Yeah, reason yes. And then

493
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: another one this willowed to be a future episode holiday

494
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: food for Pets Holiday theb food specifically for pets.

495
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 2: Like that you make at home or that you have

496
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 2: purchased from a purveyor that has already come in, like

497
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 2: this is the turkey and cranberry.

498
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: Both probably both that In this case, this is less

499
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: of a TikTok trend. It was just something I found

500
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: on trends list and it was just purveyors that you

501
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: buy from.

502
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, but I saw that was interesting. Yeah sure.

503
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: Hey, hey man, you.

504
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 2: Let that animal that doesn't know what Thanksgiving is? No

00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 2: that it's Thanksgiving? Right?

506
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: Oh my, there's a lot. There was a lot on

507
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: that trend list. I try to keep it related to

508
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: holiday ish stuff, but my own mind, I missed all

509
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: out on a lot of trends.

510
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 2: Hey, I mean, did you miss it or did you

511
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 2: just not experience it?

512
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: Oh it's a good question. Another existential question I must

513
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: ask after this episode.

514
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 2: Again, I don't mean to if any or all of

515
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 2: these are things that y'all were into. I'm so excited

516
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,000

518
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, you know, we love strong opinions here. So

519
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: people like to have strong opinions about food, and that's

520
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: that's okay. Yeah, as long as you take it stride

521
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: and are accepting that people might not agree with you,

522
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: you can joke.

523
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: I feel like if you're putting heck and stock in

524
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 2: your hot chocolate, you're already like you're you're you're you're

00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: Mmm mm hmm, Well, I don't know. I feel I've

527
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: got a lot of thoughts I've got to think about.

528
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: I've got to think some things through. But that's what

529
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:28,640
