End of the First Season Finale Part Two: The Second Half (Episode 35b)

We complete season one with the second half of Alex’s trip to Lolli And Pops. It’s a tale of sweet and sour and seaweed and pickles. Lolli and Pops’ Chris Cruz continues to tell us what’s what, and we continue to listen. Thanks for listening to our first season! We’ll be back in a few weeks after we take some time to relax, think about cool new ways to entertain you, and probably eat some candy. Want more Sugar Daddies... Read More Read More

Like An Adult In A Candy Store (Episode 35a)

As we wrap up our first season of Sugar Daddies, Alex decides to venture outside of the studio and into a candy store: Lolli And Pops in Ridgedale Center. After a sweet, culinary tour of the shop by the store’s procurer, Chris Cruz, Alex brought back some goodies to share with Chris. The haul of sweets is so big, we’re doing a two-parter. So sit back, and salivate to the sounds of part one. Want more Sugar Daddies during the... Read More Read More

Soda Time Machine 2: Flavors from the 4th Dimension (Episode 34)

Pepsi travels back in time and steps sideways to bring us flavors from an alternate past. How does this 1893 differ from our own? Did Grover Cleveland take America off the gold standard and move it to the grapefruit standard? Did the Ottoman Empire’s Currant War drive up the price and cause them to become a status symbol? Am I struggling to come up with these blurbs? None of these questions will be answered in today’s timey-wimey episode. Want more... Read More Read More

Don’t Look a Gift Peep in the Beak (Episode 33)

Once again we dive into the Easter aisle, and attempt to make a dent in the spring seasonal candy offerings. We take a look at three heavy hitters of the candy world doing riffs on their classics. It’s pretty much the freestyle rap battle of candy, but instead of words and beats it’s sugar and artificial flavors. Want more Sugar Daddies during the week?

Sweet Smell of Cheetos (Episode 32)

Cheetos comes out swinging with their own sweet spring snack, Sweetos. This McRib of the snack aisle has been a fan favorite since 2015. This year they have a new trick up their sleeve with Sweetos Caramel Puffs. Let’s see if Frito Lay can capture lightning in a bottle twice with the newest entry into the Sweetos line.

Salty Papas: The Cleanest Chip

We bring Old Dutch back again to see what they’re serving in “restaurants across the upper midwest.” Will this be the potato chip we eat every time we go out? Or will it be some unknown chip, only served in obscure restaurants? Want more Salty Papas during the week? Join us on Twitter @sugardaddiespod, or on Instagram with Sugardaddiespodcast.

The Podcast at the End of the Universe (Episode 31)

Thanks to a suggestion from Dustin from Texas, we’re trying some of the odd flavors that Lollyphile has to offer. We have a bouquet of dreamsicle, Irish cream, stout, blue cheese, and Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster! So grab your towel, stick out your thumb, and try to ignore the Vogon poetry in the background. Want to try some for yourself? Head over to lollyphile.com and check out all their other neat flavors. You can also find them on social media... Read More Read More

2017 Pop-Tarts: Part Deux (Episode 30)

After a false start, we uncover the true 2017 limited-edition Pop-Tarts. Kellogg’s teams up with Dunkin’ Donuts to become an unstoppable juggernaut of breakfast foods. Will this pairing be able to improve the comics on the Pop-Tart boxes? The answer is a deafening no. Also, spoiler alerts for: The Big Lebowski, Jurassic Park, Of Mice And Men, and page 66 of Don Quixote. Want more Sugar Daddies during the week?

A Peep With No Name (Episode 29)

We’re a month out from Easter, but that’s not going to stop stores from dedicating a full aisle to its candy! We’re joined by special guest Kristi Roby to explore the secret arms race that has taken over Easter baskets. Also, we pass some important in-show legislation over what is and is not a child.

The Remnants (Episode 28)

We empty out the Sugar Daddies cupboard this week and try all the snacks that lost their episodes. Perhaps we’ll find a gem that we missed or maybe we’ll just learn not to second guess our food choices. Fair warning: most of these have expired so if we don’t post next week you’ll know why.

A Song of Ice Cream and Twinkies (Episode 27)

In today’s episode, we dive into the world of licensed mash-up ice cream. Much like Voltron coming together, or two children stacked up wearing an overcoat, Hostess and Nestlé join forces to become a formidable force. Join us to find out if this pairing is a strong Brangelina or a fragile Bennifer. One thing’s for sure, we’ve eaten enough Twinkies to last us for six months. Want more Sugar Daddies during the week?

It Came From the Oven (Episode 26)

With a desire to capture the fading glow of summer – in the midst of February – the fellas try pre-fried oven treats. Will we be able relive our State Fair memories? What darkness lurks in the hearts of men to make them deep fry a Twinkie? Why does my chest hurt? Come listen and find out with us! Want more Sugar Daddies during the week?

How Candy Corn Got Its Groove Back (Episode 25)

It’s time for another birthday episode as Chris finishes a lap around the sun. Because of that, now we have to indulge his insane theory that candy corn is an ingredient. Chris argues his case with three homemade candy corn baked goods. Does his thesis hold water, or is this the first signs of senility? Put on your tin foil hat and find out with us! Peanut, candy corn, marshmallow bars: http://www.julieseatsandtreats.com/candy-corn-peanut-mallow-bars Chocolate candy corn cookies: http://www.crazyforcrust.com/2015/09/chocolate-candy-corn-cookies Butterfinger fudge: http://www.abajillianrecipes.com/2014/09/29/butterfinger-fudge...

Romancing the Science (Episode 24)

We celebrate the last major holiday of winter by putting some of the latest Valentine’s Day offerings to the test. Through strict scientific analysis we determine which romantic treats sizzle and which ones fizzle. Also, we get sidetracked for a bit by Presidents day, the 4th most romantic holiday in February.

Fudge, Lies, and Trademark Disputes (Episode 23)

What do you call a Fudge Stripe cookie without the fudge? What is the difference between a birthday cake and a regular cake? How can a bakery located in a tree afford a legal department? We answer none of these questions as we try Keebler’s newest Limited Batch offerings. Want more Sugar Daddies during the week?

Hello Pop-Tart My Old Friend (Episode 22)

We once again find ourselves staring down the business end of a toaster as we review Pop-Tarts’ newest offerings. Kellogg’s is bringing all of its greatest hits with these! We’ve got questionable filling, lazily applied frosting, and of course: tiny dinosaur with a bow-tie. Maybe these new breakfast pastries will be able to warm the macabre winter landscape outside!

A Soda Runs Through It (Episode 21)

We travel off the beaten path of big name sodas and try some smaller brands’ offerings. Along the way, we encounter birds, medical waste, and worst of all: communism! Will our journey away from big brand soda be worth it, or will we have gone top-shelf for nothing? Also, Chris tackles his fear of blue foods. Want more Sugar Daddies during the week?

Sour Grapes Of Wrath (Episode 20)

Alex treks to the largest candy store in Minnesota and brings back some off-brand sour candy, and these aren’t your grandfather’s sour candies!

Emergency Cracker Update (Bonus Episode 1)

In an earth-shaking revelation, Nabisco has merged Ritz crackers with chocolate. Up is down, black is white, dogs and cats are living with each other. It’s mass hysteria. Is this the flavor combination we’ve all been waiting for, or just another signpost on our way to Armageddon? One thing is for sure, the end times have never been so delicious. Music by: Chris Lyons and Alex Arbit Edited by: Chris Lyons Logo by: Alex Arbit This episode’s sponsors: Things dipped... Read More Read More

Cue The Workout Montage (Episode 19)

We start the year out right by vowing to eat healthy and get our acts together. It gets off to a rocky start when we eat a couple of energy bars very close to bedtime. Is it possible for us to get as healthy as we want in one episode? No. Also, we changed up how we number the episodes for ease of use, and not because episodes 10- 18a were destroyed in a terrible sugar fire. Definitely not that.... Read More Read More

Bookending With Popcorn (Episode 9.5)

As 2016 comes to a close, we dive into the delightful world of flavored popcorn! None of that savory stuff here, it’s all sweet. We end the year with the same flavor we started with, and thus close out this crazy year we’ve called 2016. Music by: Chris Lyons and Alex Arbit Edited by: Chris Lyons Logo by: Alex Arbit This episode’s sponsors: No one

Coal Is Better Than Bacon (Episode 9)

The holidays are here, and what better way to celebrate than with candy shaped like a cane! We try another Brach’s item, but can we find it in our hearts to forgive them? Will other candy makers steal our hearts first? Only one way to find out… Music by: Chris Lyons and Alex Arbit Edited by: Chris Lyons Logo by: Alex Arbit This episode’s sponsors: No one

International Incident 2 (Episode 8.5)

We treat ourselves, and become a real review show in this episode! We sample the handy work of Canadian Candysmith Sarah Foy over at Shhugar. Don’t worry, next week we go back to eating garbage. If you want to check out Sarah’s work for yourself (and you should) find her at Shhugarcandy.com Music by: Chris Lyons and Alex Arbit Edited by: Chris Lyons Logo by: Alex Arbit Special thanks to: Sarah Foy

International Incident (Episode 8)

This week we send our taste buds on a vacation! Alex brings Australia’s favorite cookie to the table with limited edition Tim Tams, while Chris spends the whole episode dressed as a koala.

Music by: Chris Lyons and Alex Arbit Edited by: Chris Lyons Logo by: Alex Arbit This episode’s sponsors: Linear time

Soda Time Machine (Episode 7.5)

In a Wellsian escapade, we travel back to 1893 to see what soda was like for our great grandfathers. For full time period authenticity, Chris contracts black lung and is crushed by a horse, while Alex just wears a hat. Also there’s mailbag. Music by: Chris Lyons and Alex Arbit Edited by: Chris Lyons Logo by: Alex Arbit This episode’s sponsors: no one

Drinking Your Dinner (Episode 7)

We recreate a (mostly) traditional thanksgiving dinner in soda form! Is this the wave of the future where humans get together and drink their Thanksgiving meal, or is it a Soylent Green style dystopia? Either way, there will probably be food riots. Join us as we see if Lester’s Fixins can dethrone Jones Soda: the king of disgusting holiday sodas! Spoiler alert! We don’t find out. Music by: Chris Lyons and Alex Arbit Edited by: Chris Lyons Logo by: Alex Arbit This... Read More Read More

Three Men And A Twinkie (Episode 6.5)

We take a trip down memory lane to the halcyon days of early 2016. Our friend David Cohen drops by the studio with some vintage Ghostbusters Twinkies, and we lift our long standing ban on pumpkin spice in the studio. Will we regret our decision? Always. Also, weirdly, we get into Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince spoilers. Music by: Chris Lyons and Alex Arbit Edited by: Chris Lyons Logo by: Alex Arbit Special thanks to: David Cohen This... Read More Read More

Backing Into Apple (Episode 6)

We accidentally find an apple theme in our foods today as we try snacks that taste like other foods and Chris obsesses over proper cookie presentation. Can these snack cakes possibly live up to the foods they are trying to emulate? Spoiler alert: no.

The One With All The Birthdays (Episode 5.5)

We’re joined in studio by our first guest and we play chocolate limbo to see how dark we can go. Also we feel the firm backlash of the pro-candy corn community. As it turns out, some candy corn lovers know to use computers; we called that one wrong.

Spooky Dad Jokes (Episode 5)

Break out the wax lips and check for tainted apples, because it’s time for Halloween candy! Sort of. We dive into the world of off-brand candy and questionable marketing tactics with bagged cotton candy and a gumball stuffed with nerds!

Emergency Pop Tarts Episode! (Episode 4.5)

What could get Chris in such a panic that he would actually run? Is hot soda the newest breakfast food? Does a groin level microwave promote sterility? Come find out with us as we try Pop Tarts’ newest flavor abominations!

After lots of cookies, we enjoy our first real candies! This week, it’s a mix of fall flavors: “Brach’s Apple Mix Candy Corn” and “Russell Stover Orange Marshmallow.”

Cookies (Not) Good (Episode 2.5)

Velvet Buns – An Oreo Odyssey (Episode 2)

For our second episode, we devour 2 limited edition Oreo flavors: Red Velvet and Cinnamon Bun. This time we use milk!

Correcting Corrections (Episode 1.5)
