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. Wan...

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 du...

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 e...

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?

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.

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.

Thanks to a suggestion from Dustin from Texas, we’re trying some of the odd flavors that Lollyphile has to offer.

Want to try some for yourself? Head over to lollyphile.com and check out all their other neat flavors. You can also find them ...

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.

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.

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’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!

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.

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!

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?

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.

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....
