This time we're coming to you 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.680 with hate hate. Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.680 hey hey hey hey hey. We have decided that it's 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:55.040 since it is all hollows eaves time, white people's favorite holiday, 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:59.560 we are going to flip it on his head. We're 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:03.200 gonna go for the worst. What, Josh Johnson, do you 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:07.480 think is the worst candy or the way they would 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.880 say it where we're from, Which do you think is worser? 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:13.680 So I'm gonna have to go with candy corn as 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:20.120 good as really really driving home the taste and the 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:26.160 pain and the wax in the childhoods of of of 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.960 so many Americans. I don't know of another country that 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:33.040 has this plight that we have. Okay, it might be 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.400 in other places, but if it is, it's it's because 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.120 we let it out. It's because we sent it over. 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:42.320 This is our fault. If people are celebrating American Halloween. 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:47.360 Right then they got to be having the American candies, right. 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.560 You got your received shaped like pumpkins, You got your Hershey's, 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:56.000 got your Hersheys you got you got your chocolate and 0:02:56.280 --> 0:03:00.440 crispy eyeballs, you got your kit cats coming through right. 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.480 Halloween is is what gave us the fun sized Snickers, 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:09.000 you know, and that's when we all realized, hey, maybe, 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:15.400 just maybe I don't need a whole Snickers. M hm. 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.799 Snickers is a meal. We have to acknowledge. Snickers. Yeah, 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.760 a Snickers will you know how when your parents don't 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:24.160 want to let you have anything because they don't want 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.880 to ruin your appetite, Snickers is the thing that it hits. 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.160 Snickers knows itself so well that they just started making 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:34.760 the commercials about filling your belly up. The commercial is 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.000 already even about it being a delicious chocolate bar. Now 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.880 it's like, hey, you're not you when you're hungry, so 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:47.240 eat this candy bar, Eat this candied meal of a Snickers. 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.000 The fact that they recognized that, the fact that they 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.880 were like, look, I can't get through one of these 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.640 in one sitting. This is food. This isn't candy. This 0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:00.680 is food. Honest, Snickers is food. If you went ahead 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:04.720 right now, and just if we would hit right now, 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.880 it just took all the pieces of Snickers out, the 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.600 Snickers would be enough to fill a plate. You'd be like, 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.760 thank you for making me that plate. Like somebody could 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.080 make you a plate of Snickers, make you a TV 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.320 debt or of Snickers could be here's the nougat, here's 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.800 here's the caramel, and here's a big old tray of chocolate. 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:30.880 There you go, enjoy your TV. But yeah, so candy 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:34.320 corn because some of the stuff is very holiday specific, 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:38.240 like the Robbin egg, which is a candy covered chocolate 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:42.320 malted milkball and I love and also known as the whopper, 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.640 and I love those. I love a whopper and candy 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.839 for him. I love a whopper and sandwich for him. 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:52.160 I love whoppers. Right, the candy corn has been out 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:56.000 here disappointing people for a long time, right because sometimes 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:57.280 because what I used to do as a kid is 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:02.720 I used to bite three colors in individually, right, because 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.240 I was like, let me get the white foot. Because 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.000 as a child, I thought there were different flavors. Because 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.520 you see different colors of different flavors, but that's not 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.919 what happened. But I think I'm gonna have to say 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:18.480 that the worst candy of all time is the people, 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:26.080 because our best candies, right, Halloween, Christmas, Easter, So Jesus 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:30.440 is out here two out of three, right, But I 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:37.560 don't know what demon came out with the peep And 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:44.160 now they're the peep just not just living Eastern lifestyle. Mhm. 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:48.760 They've got Halloween peeps, now they got Christmas peeps down. 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:53.120 The peep is not saying what does it? Does a 0:05:53.240 --> 0:06:01.520 baby chick have to do with Halloween? It don't, they don't. 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.200 We barely understand the only reason that's involved in easters 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.359 because of the egg. We're all confirsted. A lot of 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.279 us are confused about the egg and the rabbit able 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.680 to do with the resurrection of Christ. Anyway, that's not 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.320 the point, all right, you know, paganism, it does what 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.680 it does. But the peep coming in. First of all, 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:24.600 you're supposed to be giving us marshmallow, right, but it's 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.760 the wrong consistency. Also, that powder that makes the peep 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:33.440 the color that it is? What what is that? Is it? 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.640 Powdered sugar? Yeah? I don't think it's powdered sugar because 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.760 it sticks on too closely. So I'm gonna do something 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.560 for the listener right now just to help you decide. Okay, 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.960 I'm gonna read you the ingredients of candy corn and 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:49.760 the ingredients of peeps. Okay, because first of all, when 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:54.440 you google what is candy corn made of, your first 0:06:54.480 --> 0:07:03.000 result in images says sugar, m food, shut up and butter. 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:08.960 I'm not shut up, shut up food. I'm gonna put 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.800 this on my own Internet because I hate the people 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:13.880 you're talking about the candy corn. I'll talking about the 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:18.120 the peak. Right. First of all, what are they made of? 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.920 Peeple's only require three ingredients sugar, corn, syrup, and gelatine, 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.720 But the chicks eyes of the peeps are made of 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:34.520 food grade carnuba wax. Carnuba wax is also in candy corn, 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.720 So you know, people who are vegan, who are kosher 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:42.440 or hallal, have to be careful with things with gelatine 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:47.680 in them. No, I didn't know this because gelatine is 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:52.200 derived from animal bones, okay, and a lot of those 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:59.920 bones that they use are pork bones. So technically, technically, 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.680 since they use pork derived gellatin in peeps to make 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:10.840 the marshmallows. Not only are they not kosher and they're 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:18.840 not hallal, but peeps have pork in them. They just 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:27.320 got nastier coming to you this summer to a disgusting 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.360 trash dup near you. Yeah, this is what I'm saying 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:35.080 with peeps. This, this is where peeps did me dirty, 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.400 all right, because I'll hit you with because there are 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.640 people out there that like peeps, and I understand sometimes 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.760 you can be wrong, right, I want to offer up 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.840 to people a few anecdotes, just things from my life 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.840 that I had when it came to peeps. So, peeps 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.800 were introduced to me by my grandmother. My grandmother and 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.679 I would eat peeps every once in a while, every 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.760 like other Easter, you know, fluffy pork got it. And 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:03.680 I thought that I liked peeps because I just It 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.040 turns out I just like spend tilling my grandma. It 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.560 turns out that my grandma was just you know, dope, 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.839 and so I liked hanging out with her and Instagrammather 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.760 talked about bicycles. Yeah, shout out to grandma. So this 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.880 is like we've been chilling eating peeps and stuff like that. 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.480 And it wasn't until a day where I was by myself, 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.959 I saw some peeps in a CVS. I grabbed him 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:31.319 and I bit into one, and without my grandmother's conversation 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:38.680 there to distract me, I hate entered my heart that 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.160 it took two weeks of church to get rid of. 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.200 You know what, I got some hate in my heart 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.800 right now that's gonna probably take a year of church 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.600 to get rid of because because it took a while 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:56.400 for it to get there. Oh, I'm like, you know, 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:00.920 like you know people talk about like cursing, you know 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.000 how that like you don't you should always say positive 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:04.840 things like you don't want to say you know how 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.000 to say back on, like you don't want to speak 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:10.560 bad on nobody. Who There is somebody right now that 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.360 I am always stopping myself. As soon as I get 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.680 ready to say something, I just go and bless his 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:18.720 and bless his house Jesus. Because there's some people where 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:22.319 you have to pray for them because if you don't, 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.960 you will kind you the devil himself. That's why I 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.960 almost did with the peeps. I know you're talking about. 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.719 You got to say good things because certain people will 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:36.120 make you go listen, Lucifer, I don't fox with you, 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:40.000 but if I could use you the fox with him, 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.400 I don't make a flame on right. So that's why 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:46.480 you have to you have to speak kindness into existence 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.760 when it comes to certain people, because some people will 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:56.959 make will test your religion. I remember the first time 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:01.720 I had a peep because I I already don't I'm 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.640 already not a huge marshmallow fan because I really don't 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.319 understand it. Right, Well, that's what's crazy. I love marshmallows 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:13.120 and couldn't stand peeps. I mean, I get it. I 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:17.000 love tomato soup and don't like catchup completely in saying right, 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.800 But I remember, like, first of all, when you see 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.360 a peep, I never liked the way that peeps look 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:26.240 because they look like mushed chickens. They also look like 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:29.200 they're watching. They look like they melted, like I don't understand, 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.880 like I always like when I first saw peeps as 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:35.800 a kid, I was like, oh no, they melted because 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.280 I was like, this can't be with the final design 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:43.200 what m m, this can't be what comes out the factory. 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.000 And we're like, yep, we did it right. Because they 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.480 also have like the rabbit, the rabbit rabbit, the rabbit 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:56.240 shaped you know, you know, prapper, the rapper the rabbit 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.560 shaped peeps also looked like they melted, but they make 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:02.920 more and says a thing. So the first time, like 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.760 the design, I wasn't on top of. And then sometimes 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:07.280 I guess when I was a kid, maybe the eyes 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:15.439 were a little wonky. So yeah, they're like sitting wrong 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.880 or they double up. I mean, I guess it's a 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:22.160 Walgreens peep or drugstore people or whatever. Those Okay, I'm 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.280 so sorry they interrupt you, but you just reminded me 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.319 of something that I think is gonna actually help your point, 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:33.720 which I never do because you're usually wrong. Family dollar 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:38.240 oh Man Family dollars make you think candy looks completely different. 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.480 Where you talk about dollar store knockoff peeps because Peep's 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:46.360 already bad, and then you get the knockoff peep. The 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:50.960 knockoff peep has three eyes. Okay, it's coming at you 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:58.040 with one of these the peeple The peep got one 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:02.360 eyes sliding off the cheek one needs to be and 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.280 one eye it here because at the factory they were 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.120 like just throwing eyes at them on the coveyor belt 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.079 just Here're not putting them on. They're just like have 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:18.480 some have some have some? Right? They worked hard? Yes, 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:26.600 the family dollar Dollar General candy was always like I 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.800 hope I make it right. But their candy and their 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.280 candy corn. Not to say the candy corn is soft, 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.960 candy corn is already hard. Right. Yeah, you know what 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:38.480 I kind of think I thought we were doing with 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.560 this that I thought we were on a competition to 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:46.480 say which one was worser, right, But it feels like 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:50.720 us ganging up on them collectively and just be hard 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.480 to decide which one is actually worse. Oh, we're just 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.160 trying to side. I gotta say the peeps are the 0:13:56.200 --> 0:14:03.360 worst one. The experience, your hands get so sticky. Everything's 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:09.080 so sticky, and the marshmall it's the glitter of texture. Yes, 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:13.440 it's a perfect it's everywhere, like just sitting there, they're like, 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:15.960 how did the back of my leg? Like what like 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.160 where did this go? So everything is sticky. The powder 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.680 is different colors, but it's not different flavors, so you're like, 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.360 you don't understand how that works. And then they're hard 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.480 to get out of the package. They're hard to keep 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.280 in the package. The package opens in a wrong way. 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:31.840 So you either have to eat all of them or 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.240 none of them. Like you can't store them for later. 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.200 You can't put them in a zip lock bag. You 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.640 can't do anything. No one wants to share them with you. 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:40.440 You can only give them the children, because only a 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:44.080 child would go, I'll eat this. You can't shoot them, 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.800 but you should. And then you're trying to swallow, but 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.440 it's too much. The bites you take are always too 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.680 big of them. It's so much in your mouth. I 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.480 think they swell up when you chew, like it's a nightmare. 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.880 You can't and it's like some marshmall like some things 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.120 you can put in, like cot cocoa, Like you can't 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.200 drop a peep in hot chocolate or some ship like that. 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.080 If you're trying to poison somebody, if you really want 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:07.960 someone to just walk away from you, if you are 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:12.560 just into marriage. But about two peeps and a mugga 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.680 hot coco, and then just set the papers on the table, 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.760 I will say they will sign them. There. There are 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:22.320 two distinct examples, one for peeps and one for candy corn. 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.120 Where so there was this little girl when I was little. 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.760 This is this this girl scared the hell out of 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.320 This girl is very scary. All right. First of all, 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.680 what she would do, she would always have peeps around 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:39.640 peep season, okay, but she would bite the head off 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:43.640 and spit it out right, just to I guess intimidate people. 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.600 I have no idea. But then the real intimidating thing 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.320 she would do is she would put the rest of 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.240 the peep in her mouth. So now even take bites 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.200 after that, but the whole thing and just like let 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.160 it dissolve. And I was like, oh, you are a 0:15:56.160 --> 0:16:02.840 criminal and then let it sit and I was like, 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.960 you destined for evil things? All right? Where is she now? 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.360 Have you seen her on Facebook? Is she? Okay? I 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.840 have no idea because this wasn't like a kid that 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.280 I knew. I just knew them from being around from 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.800 the summer. That's a crazy little girl. And there's a 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:21.760 again those just weird summer kids. But it is also like, 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:29.240 you need marshmallow to do a specific thing. I have 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.520 not figured out what that is because I don't think 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:37.360 I understand marshmallow as a concept, as a label, as 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:41.560 a movement. Many marshmallow in hot coco is good. Maybe 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:44.280 marshmallow in hot Coco is good. There are certain marshmallows 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:46.200 that makes sense, but like you remember having to play 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:52.120 like Chubby Bunny in college. Yeah, but those marshmallows are tougher. 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:55.400 I do. I think I found out that you can't 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.080 do that anymore because some kids choked to death. Plan Yeah, 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:01.280 some some kid definitely that that truck that happened was 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.680 a bad game. Moderation is what we're trying to teach 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.400 you here. Moderation and what you should moderate is your 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:14.600 intake peeps because they are zero. You know, it's the 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:18.120 same from the peeps. Keep it if you can. Now, 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.199 this is the thing. Now when it comes to candy corn. Okay, 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.280 do you know there's the candy corn. First of all, 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.920 somebody was like, I did not know that candy corn 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.959 is supposed to be a replica of a dried corn, Colonel, 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.040 did you know that? I did not know that? And 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.400 I have another thing for you after this, because there's 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:41.080 another distinct mystery around candy corn. So they're called a 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.879 mellow cream, and it's the name of a type of 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:49.840 candy made from corn syrup and sugar. They're covered in 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:58.879 edible wax, which is crazy because it's like why are 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.960 we eating wax? Because you know those milk bottle candies. 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.320 I only had them a few times a kid growing up. 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.600 I didn't see them like milk bottles were one of 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.560 those candies from a candy store. Like that's not something 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.480 way you're rolling up into a quick trip and really saying, 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.760 you know what I mean, but like, I don't understand 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:16.640 the concept of like an edible wax. I enough chewed 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:19.120 bees wax before it was fine, But eventually I was like, okay, 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.880 I don't need this. I know people hate candy corn, 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:26.720 but you also do you remember the little pumpkins that 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:31.160 also would come, Oh, the pumpkin style candy corn. You're 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.600 a little pumpkin shapes. They're like made out of the 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.560 same thing as candy corn. They have the same consistency. 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:43.000 I really like those. Really, it's so strange, whoa, this 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.600 is no, this is wild because you're essentially saying you 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.840 like candy corn in a different shape. I'm sure it's 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.560 all the same stuff from candy corn. I believe it 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.600 because they sell it like in the same they call it. 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.320 They can have like a Zachary mellow cream automn mix. 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:00.879 They'll do the candy corn with the child the brown 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.440 into it, and I think it's supposed to be chocolate, 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.520 but that's utterly disgusting. And so it's the yeah as 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:12.159 the little it's the little pumpkin guys. And I actually 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:18.080 really like those And I don't know why m hmmm, 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:24.000 because I'm sure they're made out of the exact same stuff. 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.080 Is candy corn? I'll even I'll pose this question to you. 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:31.320 And okay, because this is this is plagued me for 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:35.280 a while because when I look at candy corn, you 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:38.159 see the yellow, you see the red, and you see 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:43.280 the white right at the very base of the candy corn. 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:46.960 What color is it underneath all that color? Is it 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:50.320 a white piece of candy that gets painted yellow and red? 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:53.359 Is it a yellow piece of candy that gets topped 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:56.600 with red and white? Or is it a red piece 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:59.720 of candy? They get some white and some yellow on 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.760 I They're in about to hit you with some knowledge. Baby. 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.040 You remember this show, uh on that show Unwrapped on 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:10.679 Food Network where we learned how all the candy was made? Uh? No, No, 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.520 I don't remember that show. So basically, what you do 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:16.000 is it was on forever. Was the nigger from Doubledare 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:17.959 was the host of it. So what they do how 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:21.359 they make candy corn is they have trays filled with 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:27.560 corn starch and then they have molds that come down, 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.080 So like here, here's a tray of corn starch, and 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:33.679 then there's a mold that's a triangular shaped mold that 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:35.920 comes down and so there's like a hundred of on 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.119 there to fill up this tray and it punches down 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:43.360 and then creates your candy corn shape, right, and they 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:45.920 pull that out and then they come through and then 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:50.280 it's liquid sugar that they didn't shoot down into the mold. 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:53.040 So then they do the white first because that's the tip, 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.479 and then they do the orange, and then they do 0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:59.280 the yellow. And that's how they make candy corn. And 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:02.760 then when once all of those are and once they're dry, 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:05.919 they probably shake it out of the corn start and 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:09.480 then they roll it through the edible wax and then boom, 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:13.120 now you got a candy corn. Okay. So then when 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:18.200 you're trying to you know, make peeps, first you pray 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:24.800 to the devil and then you ask the devil to please, 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:30.600 you know, come down and give you some of its 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:34.480 worst confections. I mean, it does make because I've seen 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:36.879 how they make people. So yeah, they do put the 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:39.080 candy cord in this big that's exactly what I thought. 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:42.600 They put it in this big tumbler machine and almost 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:44.240 like look like the thing that they used to like 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:47.919 polish rocks, and then they just take the edible wax 0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:49.840 and then just let it just get tossed like that. 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:53.360 So yeah, with peeps, you can tell it's obviously machine 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:58.639 that extrudes it down. Yeah. Yeah, because you see a 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:02.199 peep here the like you know what I mean, Like 0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:05.600 you just hear that noise just when you look at them. 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:09.160 I will say, though, for for candy corn, I don't 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:13.560 understand how you mess up sugar because for as much 0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:17.399 of sugar as candy corn is made of, how to 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:20.480 get like this? Why is it being like this? Do 0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:22.240 you think it's the wax? Do you think it's the 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:28.199 coloring habit? Because it's to be the wax, be the wax. 0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:30.240 Well do you remember, like as a kid, having like 0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:34.439 red like a birthday cake with like red frosting on it? Yeah, 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:38.560 and just the awful way that red frosting tasted. Yeah, yeah, 0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:41.360 okay that was just me, thank god. No, no, no, 0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:45.159 you're not wrong, liketings. Blue is not good. Yeah, sometimes 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:49.040 blue is not good. Is it the flavoring? Is it 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:53.520 the coloring of the sugar that makes candy corn awful? 0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:58.159 Maybe maybe they took the nastiest orange they could find. 0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:01.480 Maybe they took the back of the orange peel and 0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:04.480 rub that on there, made that the orange and then 0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:07.840 the yellow is just you know, because I'm trying to 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:13.080 understand also, but the fact that these holiday candies are 0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:19.640 now trying to get into other holidays, Yeah, they're trying 0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:25.280 to infiltrate. So like now in is infiltrating. So now 0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:33.120 there's like Christmas candy corn and they're Halloween peepsh It's like, okay, 0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:35.719 so y'all, wasn't making the money that you used to 0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:42.440 make during your designated because candy corn is a false situation, right, 0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:46.760 It's giving you a lot of October November and then 0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:49.160 we're done and then it's all Christmas candy from there, 0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:51.520 and then it's Valentine's and then it's Easter and then 0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:53.800 it's whatever the funk we're making over the summer. M 0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:57.040 because I think after like St. Pat like, there's not 0:23:57.080 --> 0:24:01.199 really like St. Patrick's Stay candy really because like the 0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:03.440 big time for candy is Valentine's Day. But like I've 0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:07.080 seen Valentine's Day candy corn. So the question is what 0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:09.600 is candy corn doing the sugar, because if it's just 0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:13.680 molten sugar, Because it's like if you make sugar hot, hot, 0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:19.359 hot enough, it'll turn clear like glass, like you know, 0:24:20.320 --> 0:24:22.879 like a hard candy if you melt sugar enough. You know, 0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:26.119 I always thought it was interesting that you couldn't melt 0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:31.040 salt the way you can melt sugar, Like if you 0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:35.720 put sugar in a pan, sugar will melt, it'll melt. 0:24:35.760 --> 0:24:38.560 That's how they make fake glass. I thought, yeah, we've 0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:42.440 seen sugar become so many beautiful things that can look 0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:45.399 like glass. It will become a wonderful hard cotton. This 0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:50.760 so when I looked at the video and it was 0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:53.919 showing the consistency of the white. If you look at 0:24:53.960 --> 0:24:58.000 the consistency of candy corn, they they put in so 0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:02.000 much sugar. It's or they don't heat it up for 0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:08.200 long enough to get it to that clear, super hot face. 0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:11.640 You melted just enough so you can put it into 0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:13.720
