Eminem's. 102 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: What are they? Well? Uh, Eminem's are a brand of 103 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: candy consisting of small, all uniform, individual dabs of chocolate, 104 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: sometimes and or other stuff UM encased in a stiff 105 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: sugar shells that are brightly colored on the outside and 106 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: then stamped with the seraph letter M in edible white 107 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: ink um. Each piece will vary a little bit due 108 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: to manufacturing, but they're generally oblate spheroids. That is, they're 109 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: they're squished spheres that the taper at their rounded edges UM, 110 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: that weigh a little bit less than a Graham a 111 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: piece and are about a centimeter in diameter. Um. They're Uh, 112 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: they're like a They're like a double sided button made 113 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: of chocolate and sugar. They're they're like they're like two 114 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: tiny frisbees, um, but the frizbees or sugar and then 115 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: you fill them with chocolate.

Everybody knows what eminem's are.

Right this very moment, from the 130 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: Eminem's website, you could obtain um solid milk chocolate, solid 131 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: dark chocolate, solid white chocolate, solid mint chocolate, UM. A 132 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: whole peanut or almond covered in milk or dark or 133 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: white chocolate.

A little bit of 136 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: pretzel or crisped rice that's either plain or flavored with 137 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: things like cocoa or popcorn, butter, question mark covered in chocolate, um. 138 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: They also come in minis, which are like half the 139 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: size of a normal eminem maybe a little bit less. Um. 140 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: And the company also sells baking bits which are a 141 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: little bit smaller than that's still um. Other seasonal flavors 142 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: will come up from time to time. I think there's 143 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: like a cookies and cream one right now for Halloween. 144 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: I've seen like key lime pie or strawberry cheesecake, or 145 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: like red velvet stuff like that. Um, these standard shell 146 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: colors are currently check me on this. I think this 147 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: is accurate. Red, green, yellow, blue, orange, and brown. I 148 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: believe that is correct. I think that's right. Listeners. Listeners 149 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: will let us know if we are ingrid. Yeah, yeah, 150 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: I was too lazy to walk down to the convenience 151 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: store near me and buy a package of Eminem's to check. 152 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a good question, though, I wonder, what 153 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: if is it possible to not get one of the 154 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: colors in a bag? Well, okay, so statistically speaking, I've 155 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: read I've read differing numbers for for what is supposed 156 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: to be in every bag versus um what actually winds 157 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: up being in every bag. So I'm not sure statistics 158 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: is weird. Statistics is is weird wibbly wobbly timey winey 159 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Um. But so so I didn't. I 160 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: didn't pull the numbers for that. It's a question that 161 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: is beyond me. Um. Uh. The standard packaging size is 162 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: right around like one point seven five ounces. That's right 163 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: around fifth Degraham's, which is in competition with the standard 164 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: size of chocolate bars in general.

Uh. And the candies 175 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: are made by first making chocolate, which involves brief rundown 176 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: um roasting the seeds of the cacao plant, grinding them 177 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 1: into this oily liquid called chocolate liqueur um, and then 178 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: blending that with things like milk and milk products and 179 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: stabilizers and cocoa butter and flavorings. That's your milk chocolate. Okay. 180 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: You keep this in a in a warm liquid state 181 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: and pour it into tiny molds. Um. And then those 182 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: little pieces are cooled to firm up. They're tumbled until 183 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: they're smooth, and then cooled again to set. Once they're 184 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: set there, they're panned in this big rotating drum while 185 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: being sprayed with candy coating made of liquid sugar and 186 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 1: corn syrup at timed intervals on again and off again. UM. 187 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: The off cycles allow each new spraying of the candy 188 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: coating to to to dry and firm up. Several coats 189 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: are applied, and then a final coating containing food dye 190 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: and some like gloss kind of um is sprayed on 191 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: and once that dries, they're sifted onto this conveyor belt 192 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: that has a wee little indentation for each piece of candy, 193 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: and then their run under these rubber rollers that gently, 194 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: gently gently print the m onto each candy. They are 195 00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: then packaged and sold. I know, right. I also love 196 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: that you included the font because I you know, I 197 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: love a good font. I love font facts. It's a 198 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: weird thing I do when I'm drunk where I'm like, 199 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: that's future. I could not I could not find the 200 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: name of the designer who came up with the because 201 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: because it is it is a specially drawn font that 202 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: is used for the ms and and the ampersand um. 203 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: But but it is very similar to a font. Oh 204 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: and I didn't write it down. Um that Adobe offers anyway, 205 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 1: I'll figure it out, I'll get on. Okay, okay, Well 206 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: what about the nutrition. It's it's a candy, it's a treat. 207 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: You know. They're kind of nutritionally dense with fats and sugars. 208 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: They will fill you up but will not keep you going. Um. 209 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: You know, like I said, the ones with peanuts or 210 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: almonds and them are a little bit more nutritionally complex. 211 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: They've got a little bit of proto and fiber from 212 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: the nuts in there. Treats are nice eat treats if 213 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: you like them. Yeah, yes, especially around all. Yes, we 214 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: do have some numbers for you. Oh we do. This 215 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: first one is confusing, though, I know. It's weird and wacky. 216 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: So over four million M and m's are made every day. 217 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: Are like way more than that. Because I also saw 218 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: another number that said two billion every eight hours. Yeah, 219 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: so the numbers vary wildly. I suspect either like total 220 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: like misreporting shenanigans on that discrepancy, or or that it's 221 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: like something like like total possible capacity versus average output 222 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: or numbers like before after different factories opened, or maybe 223 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: the number that's sold every eight hours for this is 224 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: the number that's produced. Um. I also read a hundred 225 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: million being produced every every day, but that was I think, 226 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: um circle like seven or maybe two thousand, So jury 227 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: is out on that. Yeah, there's a lot of Eminem's, 228 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: so well we can say that we could say that 229 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: safe safely say a bunch yes, more than two more 230 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: than two mm hmm. And they were one of the 231 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: top ranked candies in the US in breaking in almost 232 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: six hundred and eighty nine million dollars worth of sales. 233 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: According to candy store dot Com data from twenty nineteen, 234 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: Eminem's were the third most popular candy come Halloween. Some 235 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: sources report it takes the Mars company two years to 236 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: prepare for Halloween, And I'm like, well, then are they 237 00:15:53,880 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: not always just in a professional statu yeah, which they 238 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: might be. Um. According to you Gov of Americans recognize 239 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: the Eminem's brand and like them. Um and one percent 240 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: is like babies or even babies, like I'm not sure. 241 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: Uh uh okay, here's here's here's a specific one um. 242 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: The volume of your average single piece of of of 243 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: milk chocolate eminem um is zero point six three six 244 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: cubic centimeters. And when you pour a bunch of these randomly, 245 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: just just just pour him into a container, they will 246 00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: fill approximately of that container space. So if you were 247 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: ever trying to guess the number of eminem's in a container, 248 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 1: you can estimate the volume of the container, put that 249 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: into cubic centimeters, multiply that by point six eight, and 250 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:17,479 Speaker 1: then divide it by point six three six Easy, easy, easy. 251 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: I love it. I love someone figured this out. This 252 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: is the guy I've said, this is what I used 253 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: to do. I did it in a much more simple 254 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: way that I would count, like around the count how 255 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: many up estimate and I usually one? I usually one. 256 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: Got to take home a pumpkin that usually rotted because 257 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: we did it on October one or whatever year in Georgia. Sure, yeah, well, yes, yes, yes, yes, 258 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: oh I didn't want to include this. This is it 259 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: kind of cracks me up. And when I was researching this, 260 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: it did come up. Um, Eminem's are frequently a part 261 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: of celebrities writers, so like a contract or at least 262 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,479 Speaker 1: an example of how to make sure people are reading 263 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: your contract. And like the example usually given is only 264 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: green Eminem's in my dressing room. Yeah, exactly, and then 265 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: if they don't read it, it's like a sign that 266 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: they haven't read it, if they don't mention the green 267 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: eminem thing. But apparently sometimes that's just what got signed 268 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: and so it had you had to provide only green 269 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: Eminem's for certain celebrities. So well, yeah, I'm yeah, I'm not. 270 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's a total urban legend or not. 271 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: But if you if you were, if you were finding 272 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: it in your reading, then heck yeah. Um. Apparently the 273 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: Eminem's store in London is the world's largest candy store, 274 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: with four floors and thirty five thousand square feet of space. Dang. Yeah, okay, 275 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: all right, well how did we get to Oh there 276 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: is a bunch of interesting history and we are going 277 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: to get into that after we get back from a 278 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: quick break for a word from our sponsor, and we're back. 279 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: Thank you. Sponsor, Yes, thank you. Uh so super briefly chocolate. Um, 280 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,239 Speaker 1: we have chocolate as we know it today because um. 281 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: South and Central Americans developed cacao for millennia, and then 282 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: colonizers brought ground cacao back to Europe. And then in 283 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: the mid eighteen hundreds, European candy makers developed the process 284 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: of separating cacao solids from cow fats and then recombining them, 285 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: often with additives like sugar and dairy products, into chocolate. Then, 286 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: in the late eighteen hundreds, one Milton Hershey saw a 287 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: chocolate statue the three Chicago World Expo and he was 288 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: like huh and decided to try manufacturing it himself and 289 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:17,239 Speaker 1: was making chocolate bars by but Eminem's yes. Um, so, 290 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: let's start with the ms behind Eminem's Okay okay. Newark 291 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: Company founder forrest E Mars and son of Hershey Chocolate's president, 292 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: Bruce Murray. So Mars had this big blowout with his father, 293 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: who was the founder of the Mars Candy Company, and 294 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: so he decided to try to go make it on 295 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: his own, leave his dad behind, get his own thing. 296 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: Um two, He moved to England with the goal of 297 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: starting his own confectionery company Candy Lore tells us that 298 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: during a visit to Spain during the Spanish Civil War, 299 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: Mars witnessed soldiers eating candies that consisted of chocolate and 300 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: cased in a hard sugar che l um and this 301 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: intrigued him because chocolate melting during the summer was a 302 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: problem for most candy makers, and I know we've talked 303 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: about that and a lot of our candy or even 304 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: like confection episodes like the tutsi roll episode. Sure um, yeah, 305 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: because right like like no one had air conditioning then 306 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: refrigeration was still coming up, so it was harder to 307 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: make chocolate set up during hot summers, it was hard 308 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: to store it. Um sales dropped every year during the 309 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: warm seasons for these reasons. Yeah, which is fascinating now 310 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: because to me that's like you know, prime kids or 311 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: on the beach or whatever. So Mars took and or 312 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: stole this idea, depending on who's writing reporting it um 313 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: and ran with it. Because also English company Round Trees 314 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: of York released hard shelled Smarties in ninety seven, so 315 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: some people think that might have been the inspiration and 316 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: maybe he kind of stole the idea from from them, Um, 317 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: whatever the case. In the nineteen forties, Mars returned to 318 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: the US and founded M and M's Limited in Newark, 319 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: New Jersey, building a factory, refining the process and patenting it. 320 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: By one the public could get their hands on Eminem's 321 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: playing chocolate candies. Um ah, yeah they could, but it 322 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,239 Speaker 1: was a bit a bit of a mass and we'll 323 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: get into that in a second. Um. He made a 324 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: strategic decision to join forces with Bruce Murray, taking into 325 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: account his connections to the Hershey Chocolate Company, which turned 326 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: out to be wise during World War Two when there's 327 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: chocolate rationing and Hershey dominated the chocolate market. The candies 328 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: were made with Hershey chocolate, and Mary got a steak 329 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: until Mars bottom out in nineteen nine for one million dollars. 330 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: So the candy first came in an easily transportable cardboard 331 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: tube and they were seen as a way to eat 332 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: chocolate and harsher conditions. Um, just like warmer conditions. But 333 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: um yeah, first they were primarily only available to American 334 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: soldiers because it's like ninety one, and then this chocolate 335 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: rationing hits, then we've got soldiers over there. So the 336 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: Newark factory produced about two hundred thousand pounds per week 337 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: when this was all happening, and a lot of that 338 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: did go overseas two soldiers and because of that, Eminem's 339 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: gained a following amongst American soldiers fighting in World War Two, 340 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: and they brought that loyalty and love back with them 341 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: when they returned home after the war. And then after 342 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: that Eminem's became once again more available at large. And 343 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: then you've got like these soldiers talking it up and 344 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: people really into the M and m's and they Eminem's 345 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: became so popular by the nineteen fifties that the company 346 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: came up with the idea of putting a stamp of 347 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: authenticity on each candy so you would know the real 348 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: eminem um a black M with and they had this 349 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: whole slogan called look for the M on every piece 350 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: as part of this campaign. In nineteen fifty four, the 351 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: M changed from black to white and eminem peanut chocolate 352 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: candies were introduced. The first animated eminem characters appeared that 353 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: year as well, and the slogan melts in your mouth, 354 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: not your hands also appeared. Yeah Yeah. In the nineteen sixties, 355 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: the brand developed Eminem's fruit shooes, which later developed into Starburst. 356 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: Oh interesting, um that all. Also in that decade, they 357 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: were offered in red, green, and yellow, but I did 358 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: I think it gets all. Once again, depending on what 359 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: source you're reading, this color conundrum can get quite drunky. 360 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: Yeah mm hmm. And speaking of yes, red Eminem's went 361 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: by the wayside in the nineteen seventies after a Russian 362 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: study suggested red dye number two with carcinogenic. Following tests 363 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: failed to proved this out, but still the FDA bandit. 364 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: In nineteen seventy six, and even though red Eminem's actually 365 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: didn't contain red diet number two, the company swapped out 366 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 1: Red Eminem's with orange ones. Red Eminem's didn't return onto 367 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: the scene until when a University of Tennessee undergrad named 368 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: Paul Heffman created the Society for the Restoration and Preservation 369 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: of Red Eminem's. This sounds like something I would do, 370 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: twist and fills, Oh gosh, yes, And it involved a 371 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: whole spoof junk mail campaign telling recipients that a lifetime 372 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: membership would cost only and only. A year after that, 373 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: Heffman got a letter from the pr manager at Eminem's 374 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: Mars at Eminem Mars. Yeah. Four years after that, red 375 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: Eminem's were back in circulation. The orange did not go away. Huh. Okay, okay. 376 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: Eminem's were the first candy to go to space. In 377 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties. Both the plane and peanut varieties were 378 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 1: chosen as the official snack foods of the Olympic Games 379 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty four. Eminem's went international in the eighties 380 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 1: as well. In President Ronald Reagan wrote the Mars company 381 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: requesting custom boxes, and his request was granted. And I 382 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: found that fact as a part of a larger article 383 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: asking why Eminem's were such a big deal at the 384 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: White House, and I read it and I decided not 385 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: to expound upon it. But this is still a thing. 386 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: So custom eminem peanut butter Eminem's were introduced in Night 387 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 1: nine tan Eminem's. Okay. This this is what confused me 388 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: because I found a lot of nostalgic articles for tan 389 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,719 Speaker 1: Eminem's and then I couldn't really figure out when they 390 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: were introduced or when they were right. Yeah, yeah, so okay, 391 00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: but but but they were removed in yes, and they 392 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: were replaced with blue. But yeah, these people are like 393 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: almost with the red Eminem kind of a similar thing, 394 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: like bring bring back my tan Eminem's. Yeah, but I 395 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: don't like I was alive when they were tan Eminem's 396 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 1: and I don't remember. I I remember them, and I 397 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: remember the hubbub when they were taken away. Oh really, 398 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: yeah hubub saying oh yeah, yeah, hot hot, debates in 399 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: the lunch room. Oh no, I'm sure. I'm sure. Well, 400 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: for some reason, this color thing really doesn't seem to 401 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 1: draw a lot of attention. Iron and passion. Um eminem 402 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: Minis were introduced in the first Eminem's world a K. 403 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: I think most people are maybe I call it the 404 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: eminem Store. UM opened that year as well. The Times 405 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: Square location opened to two thousand six, which, for some reason, 406 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: I just thought it's always been there. Are like, at 407 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: least I don't know longer than that. I mean, I 408 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: guess it's a decent amount of time, but huh uh. Yes, 409 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: and several other locations followed after that, including in Orlando 410 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: and London. The animated characters we know UM were introduced 411 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: in a more consistent manner, in part to jump start 412 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: the candies flagging popularity. In perhaps again one of those years, 413 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: UM the Red, Yellow, Blue, and green characters all debuted 414 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: at the same time. All but Green were male and 415 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: Green was sexy. Yeah yeah, yep, yep. And apparently this 416 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: is in part due to a nineteen seventies rumor that 417 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: green Eminem's were an afrodisiac. I think this is like 418 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: an urban legend more than like an actual rumor. But 419 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. I wasn't there. I couldn't tell you. 420 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: Um Stoop's article if you want to look into the listeners. UM. 421 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: This modern iteration of the Eminem's animated characters were originally 422 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: a Red and Yellow are the two main characters, and 423 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: originally John Lovitts and John Goodman voiced them respectively. UM. 424 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: Later the roles were taken over by Billy West and J. K. Simmons. West, 425 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: if you're unfamiliar with his name, is a voice of 426 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: like everyone on Futurama basically, and also like everyone on 427 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: Redd and Stimpy, UM, lots of other things. Simmons has 428 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: long been j Jonah Jamison on screen, UM, and lots 429 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: of other film and voice work you wanted you want 430 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: an oscar in, I believe, which I think makes him 431 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: the only eminem two have won an Oscar Wow about times. 432 00:29:54,960 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: It wasn't for his work, as I'm sure it helped. 433 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure it helped of course. Yeah, yes, Mars died 434 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: a billionaire in oh And that vote for the new 435 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: color of M and M's that I mentioned, that took 436 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: place in two thousand two. Over ten million people cast 437 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: their votes between purple, aqua and pink. Purple was the winner, 438 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: pretty pretty decent margin in then aqua and then pink. Also, 439 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: like that is a big number. But if my memory serves, 440 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: you could vote like once a day, and I was voting, 441 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: And if I'm also not mistaken, there is no longer 442 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,959 Speaker 1: a purple eminem right, So we got all into it 443 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: and then it's it's it survives as one of those 444 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: like specialty colors that you can speciate, but no, it's 445 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: not in the main mix. That's yeah, that's true. I 446 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: mean they do change up the colors for like you 447 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: can get those pastel Easter one, yeah, your Halloween one. 448 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: That's true. But I remember I was mad about us, 449 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: like what we voted, we voted, it was a whole thing. 450 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: It turns out it was marketing all along. It was 451 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: marketing all along, and I fell for it a fine 452 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: and sinker every day on my slow internet connection. Come 453 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: on anyway, My M and M's launched in two four 454 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: which is this online service that allows folks to choose 455 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: custom messages to print on Eminem's. Yes. They up to 456 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: the game even more in two eight UM when they 457 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: launched my Faces, allowing for uploaded images to be printed 458 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: on M and m's um. And then also in two 459 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: thousand four UM, when my em and M's was launching this, 460 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: this paper came out in the journal Science that bear 461 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: with me for a second. It explored how spheroids and 462 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: ellipsoids are much better at packing into a space randomly 463 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: than perfect spheres are. I bring this up because the 464 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: research was directly inspired by Eminem's. Oh I'm I'm all 465 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: in okay, all about this? All right, all right, Well 466 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: you're in luck because I have a long tangent um. Yes, okay. So, 467 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: so the way that particles and larger objects fit into 468 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: spaces has been of scientific curiosity for for centuries um, 469 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: both on a on a macro like practical level of 470 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: figuring out how to package stuff for for storage and 471 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: transport and sale like um like say, storing grain and 472 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: a silo or in barrels or in soft bags. All right, um, 473 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: But also on the more micro level of observing how 474 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: molecules interact with each other in say glass or ceramics 475 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: or or heck and like in like catch up or 476 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: shampoo bottles. So when poured randomly into a container, um, 477 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: not like carefully fit in there, just poured randomly on 478 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: in its fears will slide around each other and occupy 479 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: about six of the space of the container. Mm hmm. 480 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: This study found that eminem's, which are again an oblate 481 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,479 Speaker 1: spheroid um, when poured randomly, will occupy about sixty eight 482 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: percent of a container. Then these researchers modeled out an 483 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: ellipsoid sort of like an almond eminem, and it occupied 484 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 1: over seventy of the space when randomly poured. If you're 485 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: working with perfect spheres and you pack them into a 486 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: space in a perfect ordered crystalline arrangement, you only get 487 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: seventy four percent of the space filled. Oh my goodness, Kepler, 488 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: none less than Kepler predicted that in the fift hundreds. 489 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: It took us until prove him right. And all of 490 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: this is so fascinating because like, well, all right, all right, 491 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: On one level, you might be thinking, well, sure, spheres 492 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: are kind of awkward shape to pack into anything. Of course, 493 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: something with sort of stretched corners is going to pack 494 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: into a space better. But having the math to prove 495 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: it is really cool, um, because this research helped us 496 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: understand how particles with these different shapes slide and push 497 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: around each other like like little levers, and and then 498 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: settle up next to each other with lots of points 499 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: of contact with their surrounding neighbors. And this has implications 500 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: for everything from from how you get a non Newtonian 501 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,240 Speaker 1: fluid like catchup out of a bottle um to how 502 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: you make a stronger, less porous ceramic material. And this 503 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: is a food show. Um. The research was inspired by 504 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: this physics professor at Princeton who tended to have for 505 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: his lunch a bag of M and m's and a 506 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: cup of coffee instead of a real lunch. And it 507 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: became like this running joke with his students, like at 508 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 1: one point he was surprised with a fifty five gallon 509 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: drum mostly filled with eminem's in his office. Uh. And 510 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 1: one day he created this apparatus to measure house fears 511 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: pack into things, and he asked one of his students 512 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,879 Speaker 1: to try it with Eminem's and they did it better 513 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: than Speares, And like they did an m R I 514 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: of the container to make sure that there wasn't like 515 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: accidental crystalline structures forming. They created the software to model 516 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,879 Speaker 1: out different shapes. It is. It is delightful. That is 517 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 1: so wonderful. I love like this just curiosity of that 518 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: kind of intersection of science and curiosity were like, huh, 519 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: what about what about m R I. I gotta get 520 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: to the bottom of this. Oh, it's so cool. Um. 521 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: The press release about all of this from Princeton contained 522 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: the disclaimer um Eminem is a registered trademark of Mars Incorporated. 523 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,879 Speaker 1: The company has no financial ties to the research all 524 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: the It did donate a hundred and twenty pounds of 525 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: almond Eminem's to the professor. It was all a plan, 526 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: a scheme to get some Eminem's. I see you respect. 527 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,399 Speaker 1: I feel like that would be so great. If you're 528 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: watching something like True Detective and Matthew McConaughey starts talking 529 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: about oblate serrois or something, and then it takes you 530 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: like a full minute before you were like, are you 531 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: talking about eminem? Are you talking about heck and Eminem's, 532 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: my dude, and he's like yes, and then explains how 533 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 1: it relates to the meaningless of the life in our universe. 534 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 1: Let me just eat my M and m's and peace. 535 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: Ah oh my goodness. Um m hm uh. Back to 536 00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: our timeline and two eight, Eminem's brand started sponsoring a 537 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,879 Speaker 1: NASCAR team. Yes, I believe I have seen that car 538 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: brightly colored Eminem's on it. It does, it does? Uh huh. 539 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: The Eminem character Mrs Brown made her big debut during 540 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: the twelve Super Bowl. Ms Brown, I believe, oh excuse me, 541 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: voice by no less than Vanessa Williams in eminem Caramel 542 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: candies were launched, so there's still yeah, innovation. Sure what 543 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 1: they can put in Eminem Well watch the future with excitement. 544 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely. Maybe one day my peanut Eminem's will be dethroned, 545 00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: but I doubt it. A big part of candy is nostalgia, absolutely, yeah, 546 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: especially surrounding like a holiday like Halloween. Yeah yeah. And 547 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 1: I was just thinking about how a lot of the 548 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: candies I like that I liked from a kid, and 549 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 1: that are the ones I tried to get now are 550 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 1: all very brightly colored in their packaging. Um. And and 551 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: it's interesting with Eminem's because it's like the peanut ones 552 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: has the yellow package and the regular ones as the 553 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: brown package, and you know they just separate for me. 554 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 1: It's that like yellow package. Yeah. No, it's very it's 555 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 1: very flashy. Those ah, those marketing kids knew what they 556 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: were doing. They did. They did once again, hooked line 557 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,320 Speaker 1: and sinker. They got me, They got me. I was burned, 558 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:46,760 Speaker 1: and yet I didn't learn my lesson once again. Oh well, 559 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 1: I suppose that's what we have to say about Eminem's 560 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: for now. It is. It is um. We do have 561 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 1: some listener mail for you, though, we do, but first 562 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 1: we have one more quick break for a word from 563 00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 1: our sponsor. And we're back. Thank you, sponsor, Yes, thank you. 564 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 1: We're back with listen following the Dark Night, the Chill 565 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: in the Air, My horror movie rotation is already like 566 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: taken off. Goodness. I mean, I kinda I kind of 567 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 1: never stopped, but yeah, I don't either, but I do 568 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: have you know, the classics Halloween. Sure, I see you 569 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 1: all right, m hmm. Lida wrote, I was listening to 570 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 1: your episode about Marlow and the listener mail about a pancake. 571 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,320 Speaker 1: Corn Dog unlocked a memory for me. In elementary school, 572 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,919 Speaker 1: we would get breakfast for lunch a few times a week. 573 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 1: Sometimes it was French toe sticks. Once a month would 574 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,800 Speaker 1: get a funnel cake. Really not sure how that was allowed, 575 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: but a lot of times it was the breakfast version 576 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: of a corn dog. Like the listener mail, the outside 577 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: was a pancake, but the inside was a breakfast sausage 578 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: instead of a hot dog. We would dip the whole 579 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: thing in syrup. It was amazing. Would definitely recommend. Also, 580 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: as I listened to the corn Dog episode, one phrase 581 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: popped into my mind corn dog nuggets. I went to 582 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech and one of the dining halls deats was 583 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: open late at night and they had corn dog nuckets. 584 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 1: It's basically what it sounds like, bite sized versions of 585 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: a corn dog, but without the sticks. Definitely one of 586 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: those things you get at one am after enjoying some beverages. 587 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 1: I like them on occasion, but my friends were obsessed. Anyways, 588 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 1: Thanks for prompting me on a trip down memory lane. Ah. 589 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 1: I love how again these foods have the It does 590 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 1: so often take you back to a specific time and place. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, 591 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 1: I feel like I've seen that kind of pancake breakfast 592 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,320 Speaker 1: soft it's syrup thing at like fast food places to 593 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: be wrong. Um. And also yeah, my I love these 594 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:16,439 Speaker 1: foods that get a cult following at uh like college camp. Sure, 595 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 1: but there was one at Georgia Tech called Chocolate Love. 596 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: And I mean you would hear the whispers in the air, 597 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: Lauren when Chocolate Love was being served, everyone like make 598 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,360 Speaker 1: their way to the dining a. What was Chocolate Love? 599 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: It was like it was just kind of a but 600 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 1: it was like what I would call almost um, a 601 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:46,320 Speaker 1: caramel chocolate turtle, so like pecans and caramel and chocolate, 602 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 1: but it was layered so almost like it was a 603 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: weird combination of like that minus the fudge plus the 604 00:41:53,280 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 1: chocolate cake. It was good, but it was a lot. Yeah, 605 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 1: I might be misremembering, so if anyone happens to know 606 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, because I'm not that huge into 607 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,840 Speaker 1: sweets and I don't like caramel, so chocolate look like 608 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,920 Speaker 1: I was all for it, but I was, yeah, usually 609 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 1: was going for But I bet if anybody went to 610 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: check it, if you can tell us what it is, 611 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 1: I would love. There's like one person that made it too. 612 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 1: She's working tonight, maybe she's chocolate love. Huh. Yeah. I 613 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: missed out on a lot of that culture because I 614 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 1: never never had a meal plan um in college. Um. 615 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 1: And I never had the school lunch in in high school. 616 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 1: So um uh yeah, I never I never gained those 617 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: you know, personal affiliations with those kinds of foods. Um. 618 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 1: But huh indeed, Yeah, when I do love a corn puff, 619 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,280 Speaker 1: um that those corn dog nuggets uh round round about 620 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 1: here or at least where I have them, They're usually 621 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: called corn pups, and uh for some reason, like a 622 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: whole corn dog. I'm like, are you kidding? Why would 623 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,280 Speaker 1: I want that? Like maybe three corn pups. I'm like, definitely, 624 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 1: I will eat that. I wonder if it has something 625 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 1: to do with like the ratio going on. I'm sure 626 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: I'm positive there's something like that, or or right right, 627 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 1: the different levels of crispiness, or like the surface area 628 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 1: and the dip ability. I'm not sure. I'm not sure 629 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 1: the factors. Well, um Bob wrote, I'm back in the UK, 630 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 1: and yesterday, when my plans for paragliding in the south 631 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 1: of England were thwarted by the weather there, I elected 632 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 1: instead to travel to the west from London to Reading 633 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: in search of the Foroberry Park mulberry tree that Lauren 634 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: mentioned in your Mulberry episode to find out what had 635 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: become of it, hoping to be able to send her 636 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: happy news and photos of it having been saved after 637 00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: its collapse. Alas this was not the case. Attack instead 638 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 1: are some pictures of its remains. Sorry, Lauren. Indeed, so 639 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: the pictures are like a just kind of husk of 640 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 1: a tree trunk, got like a fence around. It looks nice. 641 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:24,399 Speaker 1: It's got a little memorial plot. Well, it lives on. 642 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 1: It lives on. I went looking for for pictures. This 643 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 1: was so long ago.
