SweeTarts

...

Sweetarts for a while, which is, like, an upgraded version of Smarties.

Yeah.

I was really hitting the Sweetarts for, uh, for quite some time.

Yeah.

Yeah, the Smarties is, is, like, the lowest I went.

Let the candy talk to you.

Who are you? Sweetarts, Gummy Halos, Atlanta Falcons.

What are you? What are you? How are you gonna get Kyle Pitts going? Who are you on defense? Is that the right spot for Kevin Stefanski? What is going on at quarterback? These are not that good.

Almost, hey.

[laughs]

Or maybe I will.

Sweetarts.

Yes.

So foods with dextrose in them are the best option.

And there's quite a few candies besides glucose tablets that are made with dextrose, like Smarties, Sweet Tarts, Nerds, Runts.

I got a whole bunch of them here to show people.

You walk in, you're like, why do you get all that candy in your office? No, it's not candy.

It is.

It's Valentine's Sweet Tarts

type fucking

keyboard.

You know, you already said it for one and everything.

Number 12, well, second honorable mention, Sweet Tarts.

I'm going to go Sweet Tarts.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

This is...

And that is not the same story of what happens in China, in England, in Germany, in Canada.

It's just something super special for Americans make us sick, right? From candy? Is it possible? Skittles, Sweet Tarts, Snickers, Kit Kat, Nerds, Sour Patch Kids, Twizzlers, Jolly Ranchers.

You're killing everything.

I like

justify

what they do and who they

Literally gummy bears, Laffy Taffy, Nerds, Sweet Tarts, Sour Bite Crawlers, Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bars, Jolly Ranchers, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Whoppers, Twizzlers, Kit Kat.

Like what? All of these.

How do you mess that up? But they did release the Everlasting Gobstopper in 1976 and they introduced Nerds in 1983.

So since then, you know, we have the Fun Dip, you have Laffy Taffy, you have Runt, Sweet Tarts, things like that, all from the Willy Wonka candy company brand, which was owned by Nestle, now is owned by Ferrero, I think.

So the cast, you have Gene Wilder, who really, again, did his big one, R.I.P.

They considered all the members of Monty Python, like I said, Spike Milligan, Fred Astaire.

And, and you were in high school.

I think I was putting too much acid on the Sweetarts.

It wasn't very profitable.

Yeah.

[laughs]

[laughs]

I was eating too many Sweetarts.

Yeah.

And that wa- that was a great story, because it kinda showcased to people who are like, "Oh, this is why it's..." One, chocolate, even Reese's, got very expensive all of a sudden in the last, like Easter candy.

Um, I think this was the year of the Sweetarts and things like that, 'cause people were like, "It's very expensive to do [laughs] Easter candy that's chocolate." Even from the, from the more commodity brands.

But yeah, it's been, it's been a, a two very rough years in terms of not just quantity of cacao, but pricing.

You know, we've heard stories of ports where truckers were going to the port to deliver cacao, and some- someone from one of the big companies would flag them over and say, "Hey, I'll give you 100 bucks if you divert that to me." [laughs] So-
