Sonic, Paninis, and 1990s Nostalgia2:40 – 9:17

G

GrantHost

2:40

Anyway, Sonic...

B

BoHost

2:45

B

BoHost

2:46

Last time we talked about how there is a lack of food stuff in the Sonic world.

B

BoHost

2:51

It's just chili dogs as far as the eye can see.

B

BoHost

2:54

And so I was really pleased to see this news item come across the wire about this new partnership with Panini.

B

BoHost

3:01

So I didn't read into it.

B

BoHost

3:03

I assume this is going to be a line of premium Sonic sandwiches, which I'm really looking forward to.

B

BoHost

3:09

I don't know what else that could possibly be.

G

GrantHost

3:12

What...

G

GrantHost

3:14

I don't know either, but Sonic Panini, I guess maybe it's pretty self-evident.

G

GrantHost

3:19

I thought you were going to say the Sonic Channel thing with Knuckles eating a burger, which was like, oh, it's not grapes.

G

GrantHost

3:23

He's eating a cheeseburger.

B

BoHost

3:25

Oh.

B

BoHost

3:25

I wasn't thinking that.

B

BoHost

3:26

And, you know, you think you're not going to need the counter space to dedicate to the Panini Maker, but then you find yourself using it all the time, and then it's like...

D

DavidPanelist

3:35

It really

B

BoHost

3:35

is worth it.

D

DavidPanelist

3:36

But then once you make the space, you realize you're never using it again.

D

DavidPanelist

3:40

That's what happens.

D

DavidPanelist

3:41

Oh,

B

BoHost

3:42

well, speak for yourself.

B

BoHost

3:43

Come over and have some lunch.

D

DavidPanelist

3:45

How many paninis have you had this...

D

DavidPanelist

3:47

Well, I was going to say this month, but it's the beginning.

D

DavidPanelist

3:49

Last month, how many paninis have you eaten?
