• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I was telling you how the other day I
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: went to Costco and I had a cart full of candy,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: was getting my Halloween candy, and they had a display
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: for Dubai chocolate, which I grabbed three bags of it.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: According to Wikipedia, it is a style of chocolate with
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: pistachio cream inside.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Of it and then like a chopped it's almost like
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a kit kat. It kind of has a little flaky,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: crunchy taste to it.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Chopped filo pastry.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: And so I was telling you guys about it, and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I thought, Okay, next time I go to Costco, I'll
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: get another bag and bring it in. Now, I happened
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to be at Costco again yesterday, and so I went
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to the area where I had got it just a
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: couple days before, and it was gone. Now, Carrie, you said,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Sue went and got some.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she went and got.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Three bags apparently, so maybe it was, but there was
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: only didn't run into each other, honestly.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Only a couple of days before there was a huge
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: display of it.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Oh that shows you the power of radio.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I think the people are doing what I did, which
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: is as soon as you see it, because you're worried
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: it's going to go away, you buy a bunch of it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: So I was going to bring a whole bag in today.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: So I want you guys to know that I dipped
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: into my own stash of do buy chocolate to bring you.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: A taste of it today?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: What this is? What? What's the difference between doing that
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and buying another bag?
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Because I would have bought another bag to bring in
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: here so I didn't have to use any of my
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: own stash that I had, because it doesn't it's not
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: always available.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: If that makes you sound awfully greedy, you know greedy.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I brought you a gift of chocolate.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Thank you. It's delicious.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Did you try it last night?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well we've had you've had it before.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: But Bill, is this the first time you've.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Heard Yeah, I've never I've I've never had it's it's
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: it's different than it's certainly different than any chocolate you
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: could just go in and buy at a grocery store. Yeah,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: you know it's it's Uh, I'm not, I won't, I
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: won't fall I'm course, I'm not a big candy person.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: So but you you're not going to run to Costco?
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: No, No, I won't. If someone offers me some Dubai chocolate. Again,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: if you dip into your own stash.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Just know. But we were talking about how when you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: go to Costco you can't always count on them having
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: everything all the time.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I'm not. I've never been quite clear why
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: that happens. Why they suddenly stopped carrying something that you
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: bought for a long time there and then it's gone.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Well, it's delicious and and I think it's the power
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: of radio that you talked about it on the radio
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and everybody went to Costco.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: But these are two These can't be Halloween candy. You can't.

• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I don't want any of this other junk. I mean
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: it really, it really is way a cut above higher quality,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: you know.

• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Meanwhile, give away the bad stuff for Halloween kids don't care, well.

• 3:42
  Speaker 2: kit Cat or I'm saying, well, but I you just
• 3:46

• 5:02
  Speaker 4: who did this?
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Oh well, oh, it's.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: A British Egyptian engineer living in Dubai.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: I knew there was an Egyptian element to it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: At the time, his wife was pregnant and through her
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: food craving, she came to imagine a combination of chocolate,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: pistachio tahini and I think that's the Philo do pera,

  Speaker 2: which is oh it says it's a Middle Eastern dessert
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: made of kadaiav syrup and soft cheese. Well thanks ship.

  Speaker 1: It became a social media thing, like it really took off.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: There t have the trash man says, I failed to
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: see the appeal of to Bai chocolate.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: And it's so expensive.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: It's just a little it's not something you eat all

• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Oh no, Dubai chocolate was twenty two dollars. I beg, Yeah,

  Speaker 2: Really, if you're.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Ever down to Saint George, get the Dubai chocolate donut
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: at Pink Box. Oh, speaking at donuts, Yeah, so I
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: took home a couple of those Chomp donuts from uh,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: the park City place, the Park City Place that's not
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: open yet, Chomp and Sue, she's just like I was
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: craving a donut. Oh God, that's a.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Good Which one did she have? Do you remember?
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: I brought her home an old fashioned at a Fritter
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: and she loved them both. And then she remembered this
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: place down on State Street that's supposed to have a
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: really good donut. So she went and got up early
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: this morning at like six thirty and went there because
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: they're busy all the time.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Donuts and Deli is that worthing Donuts and Delta they
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: have a great donut.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: And she went and got the She got a couple
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: of you know, like the fritter and all that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: She said. I hate to say it, but Chomp was better.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Oh no, it was way better. You don't have to hate.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I went. I went to Donut and Deli once because
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I think the donut critic recommended, and I was not impressed.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I if I'm getting a donut close by here, I
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: like a donut in Deli.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: You should go to to Fillings and Emolsions or is
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I like to call it feelings and emotions. But it's
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: in it's in the Old Granado. There's a bunch of
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: little places in that old Granado building in Third West,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: and fillings and emulsions they have. They had a Queen
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: of mon was the best one I've had in this
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: insult a.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Not better than Rominas, Yes it was.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: It was, and I've had Romina many times. It was
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: better than that. And they have all kinds of filled donuts.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: They're really good stuff.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, Donut and Deli was good apparently, but I
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: like there was something about the Chump that was just
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: a little bit.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Better, way better, I thought.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So they'll have to go to Park City to get it.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: We'll have to talk them into opening one down here.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Said, they're not even opened yet. Yeah. Oh, you don't
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: have to go to Park City. It's Kimball Junction, which
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: is easier. Yeah. I mean it's what ten minutes up
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: up the highway there, especially from your house, ten fifteen minutes. Yeah.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: And the reason that things run out at Costco the
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Walmart effect. Companies used to sell to Walmart, and they
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: ordered so much that if slash when Walmart decreased their
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: order or stop, it ruins the company. Costco didn't want
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: to make their orders make or break a company.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, so they limit what they so apparently that's it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: So they'll just run out of stuff and they'll then
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: and then order and then usually it'll come back. The
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: things that you miss, they'll usually come back. Thank you
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: for the Thank you for the chocolate. It was good.
