Licorice (Strawberry)
Apr 3001:12:13Tap to summarizeWhich Licorice is best? . Licorice is of course a flavor. Although the original licorice was (probably) black, the term has been redefined by candy companies who realized fruity, squishy candies appeal much better to the average consumer. This week, for the first time we are going to try out the strawberry version of licorice, even if it is in no way a representation of where the category began. The contenders are Red Vine, Twizzler , and Wallaby.

Transcribe →White Cheddar Popcorn (Part 2?)
Mar 501:16:16Tap to summarizeWhich White Cheddar Popcorn is best? This podcast has tackled many different popcorns; microwavable, caramel, orange cheddar, and (according to some on the team) white cheddar. In order to settle this fiery debate some may suggest looking back at past episodes to confirm, but here at Taste Test Dummies we have had all rearview mirrors removed from our company cars, because we only look forward. Despite the civil war brewing, we can all agree that we have not done these exact brands, so let's lower our weapons and choose the best from this week's contenders Be Happy, Garrett, Krackcorn and Sweet Chaos.

Transcribe →Raddlers - Grapefruit
Feb 601:13:47Tap to summarizeWhich Grapefruit Raddler is best? Most types of alcohol have a narrow window of utility, for us the Grapefruit Raddler is a prime example. When you want a refreshing citrus flavor but also don't want a drink that is very strong, a raddler is perfect. The only problem is how seldom the stars align. This week we will be testing 3 options, so next time we find ourselves in this specific situation, we'll know exactly which one to reach for. This week's contenders are Paulaner, Schofferhofer, and Stiegl.

Transcribe →Pineapple Soda
Jan 801:22:06Tap to summarizeWhich Pineapple soda is best? In the world of fruit sodas, everyone thinks of the basics like Orange, Grape, Strawberry. This week we try a fruit that has a surprising number of options, Pineapple. Will it end up being the best fruit soda? No, probably not. But we're going to figure out what the best option is in case we get a craving for Pineapple. This week's contenders are Fanta, Jarritos, Jones, and Jupina.

Transcribe →Anejo Tequila
Nov 2001:13:33Tap to summarizeWhich Anejo Tequila is best? It has been quite a while since we first tried Silver Tequilas, and in that time we've both had fazes where we drink a fair amount of tequila. Despite this, neither of us have tried much Anejo tequila. Today we are going to try 3 of the most popular brands to see which is best, while also determining if the extra money for Anejoa Tequila is worth it. This week's contenders are Casamigos, Don Julio, and Patron.

Transcribe →Chocolate Milk
Sep 2801:09:35Tap to summarizeWhich chocolate milk is best? Chocolate milk is an odd beverage for us because there was a large stretch of our lives where we drank it nearly every day, but have seldom drank it since. Today we are going to dive back into chocolate milk to determine which brand is best, and if it deserves a place in our current lives. This week's contenders are Fairlife, Hershey, Nesquick, and Yoohoo.

Transcribe →Margarita - Craft Cocktails
Sep 401:08:45Tap to summarizeWhich pre-made margarita is best? There are 3 main categories of premade margarita, and I will do my best to explain the difference. There are cans that stay around the 5%-12% range, you can buy margarita mix which comes in a bunch of fruity flavors and stay around 12%-15%, then finally there are the cocktails in what looks like a bottle of liquor that are around 20%. Don't worry if you are lost because so am I. This episode we are going to try the last tier. The contenders are Astral, Hueblein, and On the Rocks.

Transcribe →Mini Chocolate Donuts
Jul 3101:01:51Tap to summarizeWhich Mini Chocolate Donut is best? There isn't any substitute for a freshly made donut, but when I am in a gas station and want something sweet I often find myself looking at the mini donuts. I normally look for the chocolate flavor, so sorry to any powdered sugar fans out there. This week we will be trying out the 3 main snack cake brands' version of the chocolate mini donut: Entenmann's, Hostess, and Little Debbie.

Transcribe →Grape Juice
Jul 300:55:30Tap to summarizeWhich Grape Juice is best? We have already tackled many of the big juices out there; orange, apple, fruit punch, etc. But this week we get to a personal childhood favorite, Grape Juice. Naturally, I understand the inclination to debate white vs purple grape juice but today we will just stick with the purple. This weeks contenders are Juicy Juice, Old Orchard, and Welch's.

Transcribe →Old Fashioned - Pre-Made Cocktails
Jun 5, 202500:58:11Tap to summarizeWhich Pre-Mixed Old Fashioned is best? The already mixed cocktail market seems to be growing more popular all the time. Margaritas started the trend decades ago, but companies have finally caught on that most popular cocktails could be packaged in the same way. This week we will try out the go to whiskey cocktail for people who want to look fancy in a nice bar/restaurant, the old fashioned. Side note, I am not throwing shade because I have done this myself on many occasions . This weeks contenders are Bulleit, Glenlivet, and On the Rocks.
