SNACKS

POOP CULTURE: "Num nums, stummy aches and questionable mascots.” (1978-1998) Bob and Tim stepped up to the USB mic to record an entire episode about childhood snacks. And now ... much to their surprise … they have an entire episode about childhood snacks. So eff that apple, screw those saltines and forget all about your Ssips juice box, as its a sugar bender to remember. Which means… maybe just a couple Ssips.

00:00:00 PRE-SHOW PRATTLE - Bob’s beat-box

00:00:53 SENSORY UNDER-LOAD - so the topic is “snacks?”

00:09:06 FROM THE TOPPS - trying to talk about gum

00:16:10 THE REAL SNACK SHADY - now they’re just describing M&Ms

00:24:24 THE SUGAR OF OUR DISCONTENT - and this section is just naming breakfast foods

00:31:47 FUDGE ROUND FETISHIZING - and why not just an apple?

00:39:01 PANTRY RAID - and how are they STILL talking about snacks?

00:43:39 PASS THE TURKEY ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE - and FINALLY digesting the topic

00:50:10 CLOSINGS - contacts, plugs and no catch-phrase

Tease that hair and snort that coke to the tune of the most 80s M&M COMMERCIAL Tim could find.

Pity the talking taste buds of our Northern neighbors with this 1988 CANADIAN M&M COMMERCIAL.

Insert your own sports pun and then watch THE BASEBALLCARD MOVIE, a documentary about collecting Topps baseball cards by filmmaker CASIMIR NOZKOWSKI.

Rot away for nearly 30 minutes with 33 CAP’N CRUNCH COMMERCIALS FROM 1964-1973.

Finger out the filling of this CLASSIC HOSTESS COMMERCIAL WITH TWINKIE THE KID AND HAPPY HO HO.

Spit out a filling and focus on THE UNTOLD TRUTH OF HOSTESS CAKES as exposed on the food porn site MASED.COM.

Tune to Utica’s Big Frog 104 and bust out a couple fatty-boom-batty TURKEY JOINTS WITH TAD AND POLLY.

And then stock up for this holiday season by visiting the Oneida-treasure NORA’S CANDY SHOP for your own jar(s) of Canning-endorsed TURKEY JOINTS (now with hazelnuts).
