- 13:41SPEAKER_00: Sweet.
- 13:42SPEAKER_00: This I thought you'd get a lot of the other ones up.
- 13:44SPEAKER_00: Whatever.
- 13:44SPEAKER_00: This bubbly fizzy confection crackles and pops in your tongue when exposed to moisture.
- 13:49SPEAKER_00: No.
- 13:50SPEAKER_00: Making it a thrilling surprise in any Halloween bucket.
- 13:52SPEAKER_00: What candy uses pressurized carbon dioxide bubbles trapped inside sugar crystals to create its signature popping sensation.
- 14:00SPEAKER_00: Pop rocks.
- 14:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 14:01SPEAKER_00: I I knew what you were talking about at the very beginning, I couldn't remember what it's called.
- 14:05SPEAKER_00: But I came too.
- 14:06SPEAKER_00: I figured it out.
- 14:06SPEAKER_00: And then to 1956 by chemist William A.
- 14:09SPEAKER_00: Mitchell, pop rocks lock pop rocks lock tiny carbon dioxide bubbles inside the hard candy shell.
- 14:16SPEAKER_00: That's crazy.
- 14:16SPEAKER_00: So then I guess once the candy shell melts on your tongue, they pop.
- 14:21SPEAKER_00: As soon as you put it in your mouth, it starts popping.
- 14:23SPEAKER_00: Well you don't.
- 14:24SPEAKER_00: As they're melting.
- 14:27SPEAKER_00: You've had pop rocks, really?
- 14:28SPEAKER_00: Five for nine?
- 14:29SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 14:30SPEAKER_00: Five for nine, let's go.
- 14:31SPEAKER_00: Okay, six for six is not bad.
- 14:33SPEAKER_00: It's not bad.
- 14:34SPEAKER_00: I thought you'd get seven, so one off.
- 14:37SPEAKER_00: I didn't think you'd get PES.
- 14:38SPEAKER_00: I thought you'd get Butterfinger.
- 14:40SPEAKER_00: You know?
- 14:40SPEAKER_00: I thought you'd get three musketeers.
- 14:41SPEAKER_00: I never had a butterfinger.
- 14:42SPEAKER_00: I'm I don't have three musketeers ever.
- 14:45SPEAKER_00: Probably eight years.
- 14:46SPEAKER_00: If you ever wondered which single candy reigns supreme across trick-or-treat buckets nationwide.
- 14:53SPEAKER_00: Sales data consistently places this treat at the very top of the Halloween rankings.
- 14:59SPEAKER_00: According to consumer sales data, what is consistently the number one selling Halloween candy in the United States?
- 15:07SPEAKER_00: That's all the information I get.
- 15:09SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 15:10SPEAKER_00: That's impossible.
- 15:12SPEAKER_00: It's not impossible.
- 15:13SPEAKER_00: I knew this before I looked at it.
- 15:14SPEAKER_00: There's no way.
- 15:15SPEAKER_00: There's no way.
- 15:15SPEAKER_00: You'd like there's guesses.
- 15:17SPEAKER_00: There's not guesses.
- 15:19SPEAKER_00: There's Reese's.
- 15:21SPEAKER_00: There's Kit Kat.
- 15:22SPEAKER_00: Kit Kats are so good.
- 15:24SPEAKER_00: But Reese's are good.
- 15:25SPEAKER_00: People like Reese's.
- 15:26SPEAKER_00: It can't be Snickers again.
- 15:28SPEAKER_00: You wouldn't pull Snickers again.
- 15:29SPEAKER_00: I don't think people like Snickers that much.
- 15:31SPEAKER_00: But there's Twizzlers people like.
- 15:33SPEAKER_00: I don't really like them that much.
- 15:34SPEAKER_00: For Halloween candy?
- 15:36SPEAKER_00: I used to get those all the time.
- 15:38SPEAKER_00: You said Twizzlers.
- 15:39SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 15:40SPEAKER_00: And then you just said Skittles.
- 15:42SPEAKER_00: I never said Skittles.
- 15:43SPEAKER_00: I thought you just said I see Skittles all the time.
- 15:44SPEAKER_00: I hate Twizzlers all the time too, but I don't think people like them.
- 15:47SPEAKER_00: I don't think so either.
- 15:48SPEAKER_00: But I used to get them all the time.
- 15:49SPEAKER_00: They used to be like in the single packages.
- 15:54SPEAKER_00: Alright, here we go.
- 15:55SPEAKER_00: I'm going to narrow it down to three.
- 15:57SPEAKER_00: And you gotta tell me if they're in that three.
- 15:59SPEAKER_00: If they're not, then I miss the point, so I get to then I get to pick my favorite, okay?
- 16:03SPEAKER_00: But then you get half a point if I tell you they're in the three.
- 16:07SPEAKER_01: No.
- 16:07SPEAKER_00: No, because I'm gonna go with one of them anyways.
- 16:10SPEAKER_00: If I don't get if I don't if it's not in the three, does that make sense?
- 16:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 16:14SPEAKER_00: Well, because I'm gonna go with one of them anyways.
- 16:16SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 16:16SPEAKER_00: I think you should just shoot one.
- 16:18SPEAKER_00: No, no! If you're gonna shoot one of those three anyways, you should just shoot one.
- 16:25SPEAKER_00: No! It could be either one.
- 16:27SPEAKER_00: I think I got it down to two.
- 16:28SPEAKER_00: Reeches or Kit Kat.
- 16:31SPEAKER_00: That's either one.
- 16:33SPEAKER_00: And it twigs, bro.
- 16:34SPEAKER_00: Is that your final answer?
- 16:36SPEAKER_00: No, it's not my final answer.
- 16:37SPEAKER_00: That's your final answer.
- 16:38SPEAKER_00: How am I supposed to know?
- 16:39SPEAKER_00: Just shoot one.
- 16:41SPEAKER_00: There's so many.
- 16:42SPEAKER_00: It's gotta be one of the three.
- 16:43SPEAKER_00: Is it one of the three?
- 16:44SPEAKER_00: Just shoot one.
- 16:46SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh, bro.
- 16:48SPEAKER_00: Is it stupid?
- 16:49SPEAKER_00: Am I five out of ten?
- 16:50SPEAKER_00: Or five out of nine?
- 16:51SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 16:52SPEAKER_00: Home Reese's.
- 16:53SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 16:55SPEAKER_00: Really?
- 16:56SPEAKER_00: Reese's peanut butter cups consistently top sales charts in America's favorite Halloween treat year after year.
- 17:02SPEAKER_00: That's hard.
- 17:03SPEAKER_00: That is so hard.
- 17:04SPEAKER_00: It comes out every year and it's like Reese's sold the most.
- 17:06SPEAKER_00: Reese's sold the most.
- 17:07SPEAKER_00: Reese's every year?
- 17:08SPEAKER_00: Never seen that before in my life.
- 17:10SPEAKER_00: But Reese's people love him.
- 17:12SPEAKER_00: Reese's cup.
- 17:13SPEAKER_00: Reese's cup.
- 17:15SPEAKER_00: Ten out of Ten out of ten.
- 17:18SPEAKER_00: Six out of ten.
- 17:19SPEAKER_00: That's not bad.
- 17:20SPEAKER_00: That was a guess on the last one.
- 17:23SPEAKER_00: Halloween candy trivia went way better than I expected it to.
- 17:26SPEAKER_00: You thought?
- 17:27SPEAKER_00: What do you mean?
- 17:27SPEAKER_00: You I thought that'd be worse than you thought.
- 17:29SPEAKER_00: I just went as a like as a vibe thing.
- 17:32SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
- 17:33SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 17:33SPEAKER_00: Because you didn't know as much as so it helped.
- 17:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah, whatever.
- 17:37SPEAKER_00: I don't eat candy that much, but when I do, I eat the good stuff.
- 17:42SPEAKER_00: It's too sick.
- 17:43SPEAKER_00: Not butterfinger.
- 17:44SPEAKER_00: You've seen that commercial?
- 17:45SPEAKER_00: Uh probably.
- 17:46SPEAKER_00: But I don't like that much.
- 17:48SPEAKER_00: Sound like I don't drink, but when I do.
- 17:50SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 17:53SPEAKER_00: Well, good job.
- 17:55SPEAKER_00: What's your favorite candy?
- 17:56SPEAKER_00: What else do you think?
- 17:59SPEAKER_00: Maybe.
- 18:00SPEAKER_00: Twix are good too.
- 18:01SPEAKER_00: Perry, we set up a we did it last year too, but we outside the door.
- 18:06SPEAKER_00: Um it's like a whole little it's I mean it's just Halloween mat, and then we have Halloween sign, a little table that has like a little bit of decorations on it, and then a nice little ghost bowl.
- 18:15SPEAKER_00: People can walk by and get candy whenever.
- 18:18SPEAKER_00: Uh at the apartment complex.
- 18:21SPEAKER_00: And that's been fun.
- 18:23SPEAKER_00: We've had Twix, which I like grabbing.
- 18:25SPEAKER_00: There was some Snickers, I don't grab those ones much.
- 18:28SPEAKER_00: Um Swedish fish.
- 18:30SPEAKER_00: Oh.
- 18:31SPEAKER_00: And Sour Patch Kids.
- 18:33SPEAKER_00: I like Sour Patch Kids.
- 18:34SPEAKER_00: I've been on real big Sour Skittles kick lately.
- 18:37SPEAKER_00: Whew, they burn your mouth.
- 18:39SPEAKER_00: I love it.
- 18:39SPEAKER_00: You gotta be careful.
- 18:40SPEAKER_00: I haven't had Sour Skittles in a long time.
- 18:42SPEAKER_00: I love it.
- 18:42SPEAKER_00: But I don't know.
- 18:43SPEAKER_00: It depends.
- 18:43SPEAKER_00: It kind of depends on the vibe.
- 18:45SPEAKER_00: Like if I'm gonna go to the gym and I want some candy before it would be Sour Patch Kids.
- 18:50SPEAKER_00: Cinnamon Ghost?
- 18:51SPEAKER_00: Kit Kat?
- 18:52SPEAKER_00: What?
- 18:52SPEAKER_00: Cinnamon Khost.
- 18:53SPEAKER_00: Oh.
- 18:53SPEAKER_00: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Kit Kat.
- 18:54SPEAKER_00: The orange ones.
- 18:55SPEAKER_00: You don't like that one?
- 18:55SPEAKER_00: Whoa, what?
- 18:57SPEAKER_00: Crunch Kit Kats.
- 18:58SPEAKER_00: Kit Kat.
- 18:59SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 18:59SPEAKER_00: Why'd you say ghost?
- 19:01SPEAKER_00: Cinnamon ghost, like it's like a Halloween thing.
- 19:03SPEAKER_00: Instead of cinnamon toast, whatever it's like.
- 19:05SPEAKER_00: Cinnamon ghost kit.
- 19:06SPEAKER_00: No, I've never had that.
- 19:07SPEAKER_00: Is it pretty good?
- 19:08SPEAKER_00: They're alright.
- 19:09SPEAKER_00: I've been having them at work.
- 19:10SPEAKER_00: Are they small or are they like in big packages?
- 19:12SPEAKER_00: Little two packs.
- 19:13SPEAKER_01: Oh, I've never heard of them.
- 19:14SPEAKER_00: That does sound decent.
- 19:15SPEAKER_00: Pumpkin Reese's.
- 19:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah, pumpkin Reese's.
- 19:18SPEAKER_00: I think we talked about that last week.
- 19:22SPEAKER_00: Reese's are just good, I mean.
- 19:24SPEAKER_00: Reese's cups are good.
- 19:28unknown: Yeah.
- 19:28SPEAKER_00: Is that your favorite Reese's cups?
- 19:31SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 19:33SPEAKER_00: I like a K.
- 19:34SPEAKER_00: How do you eat a K Cat?
- 19:36SPEAKER_00: Break it?
- 19:37SPEAKER_00: Nah, I'll jump to the middle.
- 19:39SPEAKER_00: That's stupid.
- 19:39SPEAKER_00: Same down.
- 19:40SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's stupid.
- 19:41SPEAKER_00: Because I don't like to take the whole wrapper off.
- 19:43SPEAKER_00: That's stupid, bro.
- 19:44SPEAKER_00: I don't like to take the whole wrapper off, so I just take the wrapper halfway down and eat it.
- 19:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, that's wrong.
- 19:48SPEAKER_00: So.
- 19:49SPEAKER_00: People know that.
- 19:51SPEAKER_00: Let's know how you eat a K Kat.
- 19:52SPEAKER_00: And and go trick-or-treat and get some candy this year.
- 19:56SPEAKER_00: All you children?
- 19:58SPEAKER_00: Right?
- 19:59SPEAKER_00: We don't get no trick-or-treaters anymore.
- 20:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's true.
- 20:03SPEAKER_00: So you children out there, if you're not a child, just dress up and enjoy Halloween and come trick-or-treat our house.
- 20:11SPEAKER_00: Houses in general.
- 20:13SPEAKER_00: Where are we gonna have where are we gonna do it this year?

- 20:17SPEAKER_00: Nobody's gonna come.
- 20:18SPEAKER_00: Nobody ever comes.
- 20:19SPEAKER_00: It has to be.
- 20:20SPEAKER_00: It can't be here.
- 20:22SPEAKER_00: No, I know.
- 20:23SPEAKER_00: It's hidden, but it's podcast house.
- 20:26SPEAKER_00: People can't know where we do our podcast.
- 20:27SPEAKER_00: No one docs ourselves.
- 20:29SPEAKER_00: Oh, uh, we should have said this at the beginning.
- 20:31SPEAKER_00: For the audio, for the last podcast.
- 20:35SPEAKER_00: If it sounds a little messed up, we had some technical difficulties.
- 20:39SPEAKER_00: His mic cut off about halfway through, so hopefully it's not too bad.
- 20:43SPEAKER_00: We're gonna try to get it to where it's decent enough.
- 20:46SPEAKER_00: Hopefully it's fine, but we shall see.
- 20:49SPEAKER_00: That was earlier, so we haven't heard it yet.
