Sugar Daddies

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

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 th

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 thes

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? Join us on Twitt

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. 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

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 mo

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.
