6.933 - 9.8 Dave O'Neill

Hello and welcome to our podcast, The Junkies. I'm Dave O'Neill.

0

10.08 - 23.912 Kitty Flanagan

I'm Kitty Flanagan. This is the Sweet and Salty Roundabout. Get on board with Possum, that's me, and the big guy, that's him. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. And that's the train that you're getting on board.

29.444 - 36.154 Dave O'Neill

Except this week, we're not starting off with a chewy. It's more a sucky lolly, isn't it?

0

36.194 - 39.8 Kitty Flanagan

Travel sweets. Travel sweets. Like your nan used to have in the glove box.

39.82 - 40.741 Dave O'Neill

Oh, I love a travel sweet.

40.761 - 48.533 Kitty Flanagan

I mean, that was always the best thing about getting in the car with your nan. You go, have you got any travel sweets? And she always had a tin. Of lollies. And that was the best thing about it, wasn't it? The tins?

48.513 - 52.883 Dave O'Neill

The tin was great. It put a high status on it, kind of.

52.903 - 54.267 Kitty Flanagan

Yeah, made them classy.

Chapter 2: Which new chocolate bars are being reviewed?

105.419 - 107.562 Dave O'Neill

We had the licorice filled ones. They were down, down to Vomitown.

0

107.542 - 119.734 Kitty Flanagan

Now, interestingly, there's two different rivals. There's the Simpkins brand. Yes. And the one that I know better is Cavendish and Harvey. Yes. They're the ones I see most of. Yes, yes. But I found all these Simpkins ones.

0

120.095 - 123.103 Dave O'Neill

And the licorice ones were German by memory. Yeah, they were German.

0

123.083 - 126.707 Kitty Flanagan

Yeah, they taste like that salty Dutch licorice. Okay, where do you want to start, Dave?

0

126.727 - 128.608 Dave O'Neill

Well, let's just start at the start.

128.628 - 130.13 Kitty Flanagan

At the tropical fruit end?

130.55 - 136.376 Dave O'Neill

So have we got different fruits there? Because the fruit drop ones are great, you know, when you get the pear one. Yeah, the pear is the best one.

136.396 - 149.749 Kitty Flanagan

The pear is the best. Okay, so let's see what flavours are in here. Pineapple. It's not going to tell you. That's the beauty of the tropical fruit drop. You just have to guess. In the picture, there's a pineapple, there's a passion fruit, and there's a lychee.

149.999 - 165.541 Dave O'Neill

Oh, I don't want lychee. So you don't want any of them? No, no. I'm going to try lychee. I love how it's dusted in icing sugar or whatever it is. What have I got? Grapefruit or something?

Chapter 3: What exciting new gummy products are introduced?

197.228 - 200.333 Kitty Flanagan

Hopefully these are better. He's got high hopes.

0

201.494 - 202.376 Dave O'Neill

Oh, look at that.

0

202.396 - 208.204 Kitty Flanagan

Is it half? Oh, you'll like this.

0

208.488 - 211.03 Unknown

Oh, yeah. They are great.

0

212.732 - 215.374 Kitty Flanagan

That's almost a sweet, sweet memory jug of that flavour.

215.434 - 215.995 Unknown

Look at that.

217.116 - 219.778 Kitty Flanagan

Adding the cream to the strawberry is just top notch.

219.798 - 220.719 Dave O'Neill

Great combination.

220.919 - 224.502 Kitty Flanagan

Oh, that works really well. Yeah, it tastes like strawberry ice cream.

Chapter 4: What are the hosts' thoughts on the Simpkins and Cavendish & Harvey candies?

291.906 - 292.567 Kitty Flanagan

A bit sharp?

0

292.667 - 293.688 Dave O'Neill

Mmm, sharp tasting.

0

293.988 - 297.672 Kitty Flanagan

I mean, the mistake I've made there is that we should have ended with strawberries and cream.

0

297.872 - 298.853 Dave O'Neill

Oh, it's getting better.

0

299.073 - 299.314 Kitty Flanagan

Yeah.

299.374 - 300.235 Dave O'Neill

Five minutes later.

300.355 - 301.356 Kitty Flanagan

I think it gets better.

301.376 - 302.297 Dave O'Neill

Mmm, it's getting better.

302.337 - 303.658 Kitty Flanagan

You get more of the custard.

Chapter 5: How do the hosts feel about the Skittles Cloudz?

376.816 - 382.231 Kitty Flanagan

Yeah, you know what they taste like? Peppermint oil. Oh, yes. Which is what they're flavoured with.

0

382.251 - 383.996 Dave O'Neill

Yes, yes, yes.

0

384.959 - 401.586 Kitty Flanagan

It has actually got real chocolate in it. I was going to say maybe it hasn't got real chocolate in it. I don't mind it. They just taste like an old-fashioned... There's some lolly they taste like. They taste like a snifter. Remember snifters? The mint thing? The mint nougat but with the chocolate bits?

0

402.107 - 407.295 Dave O'Neill

Yes, that's what they do taste like. But travel lollies, great. Lollies and tins, always good.

0

407.275 - 407.936 Kitty Flanagan

Always good.

408.156 - 408.677 Dave O'Neill

Always good.

408.878 - 411.762 Kitty Flanagan

Okay, well, you take the strawberries and cream. I know you'd like those in your car.

411.783 - 413.445 Dave O'Neill

Oh, yeah, you bet. You have the rhubarb.

413.465 - 416.17 Kitty Flanagan

You might come to a rhubarb and custard one day. Oh, maybe I'll put them in my car.

Chapter 6: What criticisms do they have about Skittles flavors?

456.537 - 459.339 Dave O'Neill

You could occasionally buy them at a chemist or somewhere like that.

0

459.68 - 462.602 Kitty Flanagan

There were some strange brands that started with a T. Yes, they were.

0

462.643 - 463.163 Dave O'Neill

Yeah, they are.

0

463.443 - 465.866 Kitty Flanagan

Up next, we've just got a new chocolate bar.

0

466.766 - 468.488 Dave O'Neill

Oh, and these ones? Are we doing these things?

468.508 - 471.411 Kitty Flanagan

We're doing those last because we need to break up the sugar with some chocolate.

471.431 - 473.833 Dave O'Neill

Oh, hang on. And also, we've got to throw it back.

473.932 - 474.698 Kitty Flanagan

Ah, yes.

474.718 - 476.693 Dave O'Neill

That's the final segment. The final segment.

Chapter 7: What unique flavors are found in the new Jaritos Gummies?

555.016 - 555.176 Kitty Flanagan

No?

0

555.397 - 560.526 Dave O'Neill

Okay. Same people, I think. Pretty sure. All right. Positive. Okay, so let's do the Aero Caramel first.

0

560.546 - 561.568 Kitty Flanagan

Let's do Aero Caramel.

0

561.588 - 565.195 Dave O'Neill

I mean, sometimes you feel like you're just getting air, but I suppose that's what Aero is.

0

565.175 - 566.417 Kitty Flanagan

I liked the strawberry one.

566.617 - 568.019 Dave O'Neill

Well, the strawberry one was fantastic.

568.039 - 568.199 Kitty Flanagan

Yeah.

568.76 - 571.865 Dave O'Neill

Absolutely. And caramel's a good flavour, so, ooh.

571.885 - 587.61 Kitty Flanagan

I do like chocolate and caramel. How much does it smell like a crunchy? I almost feel like that's going to change the colour of my day. Change the colour of your crunchy. I bet you like that. That is so sweet.

Chapter 8: What final thoughts do the hosts share about their candy tasting experience?

625.049 - 628.674 Kitty Flanagan

No, I've not had this. I wasn't expecting that. I thought it was going to be a big piece of clinker.

0

629.456 - 629.876 Dave O'Neill

There's a little bit.

0

629.896 - 631.278 Kitty Flanagan

Of different colours. It's all chips.

0

631.659 - 632.68 Dave O'Neill

It's clinker chips.

0

632.7 - 644.136 Kitty Flanagan

Oh, yeah, yum. I don't know, Dave. Because the whole thing with the clinker is what flavour did I get? What colour did I get? Now, I'm getting all the colours at once.

644.116 - 648.442 Dave O'Neill

I don't know what's going on. I don't know what's going on at the clinker factory.

648.482 - 649.444 Kitty Flanagan

I'm a bit overloaded.

649.484 - 652.488 Dave O'Neill

They used to be good. It's still pretty good, isn't it? It's still good though.

652.989 - 657.255 Kitty Flanagan

It's really good. They do something like this and you wonder why did they bother with that more range?
