The Fancy Kroger, Throwback Snacks and Coffee Choices

Amy Goodgame & Marty Booth Episode 25

Have you ever paused your grocery shopping to enjoy a cocktail in the middle of the store? Picture this: a fancy Kroger with its very own in-store bar, where the social dynamics are as diverse as the snack aisle itself. Join us on a delightful romp through the aisles as we encounter a fellow shopper in search of elusive crackers, leading to an enthusiastic debate about the best Oreo varieties. From golden treats to gluten-free delights, our conversation is as varied as the snack options on the shelves, sparking nostalgia for bacon-flavored Chicken in a Biskit and the long-lost Sociables.

Feeling nostalgic? We sure are, as we wander through memories of classic snacks that have stood the test of time. Remember the joy of biting into a Cheez-It or savoring a Teddy Graham? We share our secret trick for making a Honey Bun even more indulgent and laugh about the adventure of eating pudding cups with their perilously sharp lids. Little Debbie gets a mention too, as we ponder the mystery of their snack placement and share tales of our favorite sweet indulgences.

Navigating the overwhelming choices in today's grocery stores can be a daunting task. With a humorous twist, we tackle the absurd variety of coffee creamers, the fleeting freshness of strawberries, and the perplexing world of mixed nut milks. Our creative juices start flowing as we brainstorm single-serve creamer cubes and discuss the ever-polarizing debate of black coffee versus adding a splash of cream and sugar. Join us for a lighthearted exploration of how even the simplest choices can lead to lively conversations, all wrapped up with a chuckle and a nod to life's everyday quirks.

Speaker 2:

Welcome to hey Real Quick with Marty and Amy so what I got going is I went to the Kroger y'all been going to lately.

Speaker 1:

The fancy one.

Speaker 2:

The fancy one. It used to have a bar in it. I feel like anybody listening to this will not believe that, but it did. It had a bar for about three or four years. I never went to the bar, but there'd be be people and I was always a little confused. I know I'm just deep diving right into that, but no, like so are you shopping?

Speaker 2:

and then you're like whoo man, I could use a you know, a shot of tequila or a glass of chardonnay and you just park your buggy and then you just sit there and then there's a bartender.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

In the middle of Kroger.

Speaker 1:

That's got to be the worst gig ever. What do you do at Kroger? I'm a bartender, a bartender. First of all, it's confusing.

Speaker 2:

Wait, are you drunk now? Because there's no way. Oh, but there is, or there was. So anyway, it's that, kroger.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. I would see. I saw a couple or two sitting at the bar. That's a different date right there. Yeah, man, I mean, you know I don't drink that much. I mean I used to love to drink but I never in my life was like halfway through my grocery shopping list and was like I can't do this.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm not even to the cereal aisle, but yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

The good news is you don't need a handful of peanuts, because you just go get what you want and it's like I just opened it at the bar, you know.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I got a bag of.

Speaker 1:

Oreos and let me get one of them. Growlers. Yeah, sorry.

Speaker 2:

Draft beer, anyway, the reason I'm telling the story is because I had this conversation with the lady, a lady on the cracker aisle, okay. So cracker aisle, okay. So crackers slash, cookies slash pre-packaged snacks, maybe it's like 16. I don't know which number it is, but anyway. So first, by the way, I go by the Oreos and I was like you know what, I'm going to see how many different flavors they have.

Speaker 1:

Can I guess, did you count?

Speaker 2:

I think I can relist them.

Speaker 1:

Probably say like 16 maybe.

Speaker 2:

It might be a little less. However, there are four options for gluten-free Oreos, which I eat gluten-free.

Speaker 1:

I thought they had zero.

Speaker 2:

And I will say they are good and I cannot tell the difference. So you're welcome Oreo for that free advertisement. They have mint, they have the golden Oreos, they have regular and double stuffing gluten-free. But I can't buy those because if I buy them I'm going to eat them all.

Speaker 1:

Well, we're in Oreos now. First of all, big fan of the golden.

Speaker 2:

I like the golden, I think more than normal. The normal Oreos, the normal's like. There's so much chocolate cookie. I don't drink milk because I'm lactose intolerant, but you need something to wash that down. Yeah, and a good toothbrush and but whatever.

Speaker 1:

It always makes me mad when I buy Oreos and I get home and I'm like, why did I get regular? Oh yeah, cause then you like they have double stuff, which is the perfect amount, I think, and then they went mega.

Speaker 2:

Oh, which is like why not?

Speaker 1:

There's mega stuff which is like a double, double stuff Okay. But who's getting first of all? You're getting Oreos. Right so why are you trying to be like? You know what I'm going to get regular? Because I'm trying to. I'm on a new diet.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And I don't need that much.

Speaker 2:

Right, like you're getting Oreos Right.

Speaker 1:

Why would you mess around and get?

Speaker 2:

a little bit of Minimal amount of cream in the middle yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it makes no sense. No sense, but whatever yeah.

Speaker 2:

So they had that. They also had like a well, they have mint, they have birthday cake, they maybe had a toffee or a something. I think they have peanut butter, they have the golden they have, and then sometimes they have special like limited edition, Like I'm sure Christmas has one, you know, with the red and the green instead of the regular white.

Speaker 1:

It's got a Christmas tree on the top. Nobody's looking at the top part. There's about 10, probably yeah.

Speaker 2:

Sorry, Anyway. So that's in the weeds of the Oreos.

Speaker 1:

You weren't even shopping for Oreos.

Speaker 2:

You were shopping for crackers, so I get to the crackers. I'm trying to find these. I don't even eat them For my kid Townhouse brand, but they're like pita crackers. Okay, I know it's riveting, I'm sure. But so I was like, well, let me look over here and this lady's like man, I'm trying to find these crackers and I don't see them anymore. And so she gets the sociables on the bottom shelf, which I think those date back to probably 1978. They've been around for a while. They're like a Social cracker.

Speaker 2:

Your mom might have bought it when somebody came up.

Speaker 1:

We only eat these when we're social with other people Otherwise yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, sociables, like. First of all, it's a mouthful to say that word and it's the name of a cracker, but anywho, yeah. And then she said you know, what's good is chicken in a biscuit, which is a cracker, but neither has a biscuit or a chicken in the box, but used to make a bacon flavor, and I love those. They were so good. I don't know why they discontinued those, but I could eat those. Oh, I could just eat them plain. Well, first of all, they're not plain, they're sprinkled with baked chicken and bacon to taste like chicken and a biscuit with a bacon on it.

Speaker 2:

I don't even understand, but um, and I don't think I've had a chicken and a biscuit cracker since I was maybe in eighth grade at somebody's house.

Speaker 1:

I think I ate them in high school which but now if you said, hey, you want a chicken and a biscuit, I'd be like fantastic, are we going to Chick-fil-A?

Speaker 2:

Right, or where are we doing this? What are we doing? Yeah Right, can we get the spicy?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, sounds great. And then if somebody handed me a little baby, half cracker.

Speaker 2:

I'd be upset.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we're going to have a problem, right, you better have some Ore Oreos to go with it because I'm angry and I want at least double stuff.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, chicken in a biscuit, yeah. But it just made me think of like, oh yeah, the snacks, because those are still hanging around. You know what I mean, like Cheez-Its, those are still hanging around.

Speaker 1:

Cheez-Its are going strong. I love Cheez-Its we ate pallets worth of Cheez-Its. We still eat pallets of Cheez-Its.

Speaker 2:

See, I don't eat Cheez-Its because the cheese but.

Speaker 1:

I don't even think there's cheese in there.

Speaker 2:

Well, if you look on there, it says contains milk or something, I think it says it.

Speaker 1:

Something Square it's.

Speaker 2:

Square. It's yeah, cheez-its, cheez-nips.

Speaker 1:

Remember Cheez-Nips, the Coca-Cola classic.

Speaker 2:

I know, but I kind of like the Cheez-Nips because they were a little lighter roast so to speak, roast Like their Starbucks.

Speaker 1:

What do you do? I'm a professional, I'm a roaster. Oh, coffee, no Cheez-Nips.

Speaker 2:

But they had like a little dusting of real cheese. They were a little cheesier. Definitely got your hands messy, right.

Speaker 1:

But anywho. So this is a snack aisle.

Speaker 2:

This is a snack aisle conversation. Yeah, I'll tell you.

Speaker 1:

What I didn't ever love, except for the shape, was Teddy Grahams. You remember Teddy Grahams? They're microscopic.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they're like, look it looks little bear and like well, first of all, the bear doesn't taste very good.

Speaker 1:

No, and there's nine of them in this bag.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I can't see them without readers and like a six-pack is like $9.99.

Speaker 1:

But they're still good. They still have Teddy Grahams.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean they sold them in a box when they first came out?

Speaker 1:

I guess they need to. Are you talking about the little snack packs? They need to sell them on a.

Speaker 2:

But it made me think back to also, if you're buying a little Debbie now you have to really look for them. It's almost as if the store is like you don't really need these, we're not going to put them in the snack aisle, they're going to be on some weird end cap by, like the ice cream on the far left of the store.

Speaker 1:

Because we're trying to keep people from eating them. Right? If you want to be that unhealthy, you're going to earn it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you got to do some work in here. Look here, Nick Saban, If you want oatmeal cream pies you're going to have to get some steps in inside the Kroger, but like remember Choco Gels. Oh man I would destroy those things.

Speaker 1:

A little bit of jelly, I thought they were gross forever. They're a little dry and then I liked them one day and then I think I bought probably ate a box about every two days for.

Speaker 2:

Oh wow, it was a lot and Nutty Buddies.

Speaker 1:

I would just take them to my room. I ain't telling my kids this, but I would just take Choco Gels or Honey Buns or whatever.

Speaker 2:

Okay, let's talk about honey bun for a hot second. Speaking of hot second, I used to put it in the microwave with a little bit of butter on it.

Speaker 1:

You put butter on it.

Speaker 2:

I put butter on it and then heated it up in the microwave. That's what's wrong with me now.

Speaker 1:

That's a lot. I remember our granddad would eat them and everybody's like they're not healthy for you. He lived over what 95?. Yeah, into the 90s, but yeah, I remember I would get a honey bun. I think I looked at the.

Speaker 2:

Fat grams.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but that's one of those things you look at like with a honey bun. You look at calories, sugar, but you won't have the highest number. Right, you know what you're doing if there's 400 calories in it, it's not that good, I mean it's okay right but yeah, I found one one day. It was like 600 calories, I don't know what the. It was ginormous and so much icing.

Speaker 2:

Did it have the frosted yeah, like, oh, yeah it was just basically all frosting in a bag with some yeah it was.

Speaker 1:

They were so good so good.

Speaker 2:

And see, now we drink coffee, so it would be really good with coffee, I guess I guess they kind of slid out of that wrapping a little bit. Though you know I'm saying they're kind of or get stuck yeah, you cannot put that in your hand, you know I mean you can but you're a psycho if you're just walking around with a honey bun, just holding it.

Speaker 1:

If you ever see somebody holding just a bare naked honey bun.

Speaker 2:

Run yeah.

Speaker 1:

Call the cops and then just Right yeah. What do you look like? A lunatic holding a honey bun. That's what he looked like.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, nobody's doing that. You don't need to take fingerprints, no, because prints will be everywhere.

Speaker 2:

But yeah, Also they'll. Yeah, but anywho, honey buns, Cheez-Its. Oh my goodness, Lots of Chips, Ahoy, I feel like we would get Chips.

Speaker 1:

Ahoy every now and then.

Speaker 2:

You know Puddings, not the Jell-O puddings, but like the chocolate puddings. Oh yeah, you know how there's like, is there Hunt's brand and Del Monte? Del Monte made them in little metal cups where you pulled the thing off.

Speaker 1:

Oh my gosh, do you remember that, like you're about to eat tuna fish or something A?

Speaker 2:

throwback and you're like it's chocolate pudding.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, I ate a lot of that.

Speaker 2:

I had a lot of that too, just pulling that sharp top off. People wouldn't let their little big kids see that now. No way.

Speaker 1:

Did you get some pudding? Yeah, but I need a tetanus shot and some stitches.

Speaker 2:

My mom put the Del Monte cup in my thing again.

Speaker 1:

I remember one time I think I was fifth, sixth grade, something like that and I remember you bet me a quarter that I would not eat a ginormous. I'm not talking about whatever 14 ounce can, I'm talking about the giant can like 28, 30 ounces of peaches oh my god like the biggest can of peaches you can buy.

Speaker 1:

You're like I bet you won't eat all those peaches for a quarter. I was like watch this, I just poured them in a bowl and destroyed them and I was like give me my quarter and looking back on it, yeah, I don't know why I did it no, yeah, mom could have made two pies with that or something. Probably. Yeah, that's a lot of peaches.

Speaker 2:

Good cobbler at least. But yeah, I remember when Cool Ranch Doritos came out, like when that was new.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, I was probably like sixth, seventh grade.

Speaker 2:

People were like have you had Cool Ranch Doritos?

Speaker 1:

Have you had the new ones? Yeah, they're still New ones. Yeah, they're still they're good.

Speaker 2:

I cannot eat those either anymore.

Speaker 1:

I can.

Speaker 2:

I mean I could, but I should not.

Speaker 1:

I'll tell you. I tried to explain to my kids because now they have body armor and prom and Gatorade, they have all these different sports drinks and I was like, no, you don't understand, we had Gatorade.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and it was still kind of green, yeah, like.

Speaker 1:

What flavors do you have? Like?

Speaker 2:

we had, we had green.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like the guy that made it on the sideline of the florida gators just made one flavor right, and it was in a glass bottle green for gators, I guess, and half time we get the powder but then I remember when they came out with orange it was orange and red yep, and then we were like we got three flavors.

Speaker 2:

Now you go and you're like glacier eyes, frost, polar bear yeah, it's crazy and then you get it and like that's g2, that's half that.

Speaker 1:

They don't like that that's half the sugar and then it's zero, which is zero sugar.

Speaker 2:

It it's hard to find G2 in the middle. Like half the sugar. It's either all or nothing. Yeah, I can't find the G2. Gee whiz, I can't find any of it Like yeah, just give me Gatorade, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, how about give me, and I always try to get. Now it's not so bad because my kids are older, but forever I was so bad, I would try to get like white. I'm like y'all, like the white one.

Speaker 2:

So it wouldn't stain their clothes.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, They'd have a white T-shirt on and be like I want red Gatorade and I'm like well, I don't want to buy another stain stick.

Speaker 2:

Yeah we're going white. Our kids always loved the fruit punch, so it'd be, like you know, their top lip's all stained, yeah, stained, and yeah, yeah, gatorade. I remember when the Capri Suns were new. They were not as easily.

Speaker 1:

Accessible.

Speaker 2:

Stabbable with the straw and when they came out you had to go in between the seam.

Speaker 1:

There was an art to that At the top.

Speaker 2:

People were like these are cool, but we can't get in them to drink them.

Speaker 1:

Because there was an art to the Capri Sun, you had to squeeze at the bottom.

Speaker 2:

Oh.

Speaker 1:

Make the flat, all the liquid go up, Make the flat kind of the top flat Kind of push down. Oh, okay, yeah, and then you just stab straight down.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

Because everybody else was just, you just stabbed straight through every time.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Or you use the wrong end of the straw. And then it's going everywhere it's all over the lunch table and you know, yeah, and I think I think there are. What is it? Three ounces of liquid, it's not a lot.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, I never loved them.

Speaker 1:

It's enough to say, oh, that was good, can I have four more?

Speaker 2:

Right yeah.

Speaker 1:

I'll tell you what's gross is gas station snacks, not for kids. Are we still talking about kid snacks?

Speaker 2:

any snacks. It just made me think of snacks, I just remember stopping at gas stations.

Speaker 1:

Be like teenager 20 uh, huh like, especially like landscape cruise stuff, like that, you know, like when you're working oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're going to stop at the gas station you got to fill up the truck. Everybody's going to hop out. Right Go in the gas station, get a snack.

Speaker 2:

Oh my Lord, it's limited yeah.

Speaker 1:

But you'd have those people like oh man, I love Vienna sausages. Only saltines, taking it back to crackers.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And then some people do straight up sardines on the saltines, and I'm talking like in August in Alabama there's 105 outside and they're just eating like a can of sardines on a saltine cracker.

Speaker 2:

That is all kind of wrong.

Speaker 1:

I know and I'm just over there with like.

Speaker 2:

Cheez-Its and like, and I smell the sauce because you're about to pass out.

Speaker 1:

Wave this Mountain Dew under my nose and wake me up.

Speaker 2:

Ooh, that's rough, that is rough.

Speaker 1:

I don't see how people do that. That's not a snack though.

Speaker 2:

No, but yeah, I always see those things.

Speaker 1:

That's raw.

Speaker 2:

Headless baby minnows?

Speaker 1:

I don't know, it's redneck sushi, that's what that is Sorry. I've never had them that is Sorry, I've never had them Sardines. Yeah, no, it's called bait and I'm not eating it. Yeah, I just ooh, that's rough, I've never in my life been like you know what I want on this A dead fish.

Speaker 2:

Okay so.

Speaker 1:

Sorry.

Speaker 2:

One step further. So remember how Mom used to make salmon croquettes.

Speaker 1:

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, did you like that I used?

Speaker 1:

to love them. I used to love them too. I can't. I ain't gonna love them now.

Speaker 2:

Not after this story.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

So this is probably.

Speaker 1:

I'm already sweating, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 2:

This is probably three years ago. I was like I'm gonna see if I can make those.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Did you have? You done it.

Speaker 1:

What? Oh, how they're made. Yeah, oh, they just grind up the.

Speaker 2:

So I bought the canned salmon.

Speaker 1:

Did you open it and pass out?

Speaker 2:

Oh, my mouth is watering now, but like not in a good way, like the way where you almost are hearing your ears ring and you start saying the spots.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

It's too much of all of it in there.

Speaker 1:

And I was like oh Lord.

Speaker 2:

Okay, I, yeah, I'm having to breathe.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you know what I'll just? I'll just eat a cracker, I'll just eat a chicken and a biscuit, cause yeah it was bad Chicken and a biscuit Still better than fish in a can.

Speaker 2:

It was rough, yeah, yeah. No, still better than fish in a can. It was rough, yeah, yeah, no, I used to eat those a lot and enjoyed them, yeah, but I mean she did all the hard work then because there was no, like you know, probably salmon already read like pre-done. You know, I'm like man. That was a ton of like prep and I was like man, mom, I failed, I couldn't do that, you know. No, yeah, do you?

Speaker 1:

imagine if we had to go back in time no, and like prepare meals in like the 70s and 80s. I'd be like resources are limited. Man, there's a can of peas heat them up like I ain't doing none of this stuff, everything's you're like there's, there's a flour all over the counter, you gotta roll if there's a rolling pin involved.

Speaker 2:

I'm rolling out like I am not making it, so remember she would make homemade biscuits, those little bitty. Oh man, they were good yeah, she would make homemade biscuits, sometimes before we went to school yeah, before, that's insane yeah, I'm like this um, are there no nutrigrain bars left? I'm the. But OK, fast forward to my eighth grade year, and that's when, like Kicked in like I'm not doing this. Like canned biscuits, because they weren't a big thing, before, right.

Speaker 2:

So this is what Mid 80s maybe, and it was like, oh, I would have already been doing canned biscuits, but sometimes we'd have those which Texas style Remember those, the flaky ones, love those Also, the cinnamon rolls.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, I did like those. Let's talk a minute about those. We ate those every morning for about three years. Yeah, and you spread the icing on there we get those sometimes now the Pillsbury Doe Boy cinnamon rolls. Yeah, it Pillsbury that way, cinnamon rolls.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's a throwback, like sensory throwback.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I still enjoy them a lot. I think I'm just kind of over them, yeah. Kind of like I don't eat canned peaches anymore.

Speaker 2:

I'm so sorry. That's all right. That should have at least been a dollar.

Speaker 1:

Oh, one more thing I was thinking about. Well, there's first of all there's too many options for everything in a grocery store. Yeah, the worst is like hey can you pick up some bread? Like.

Speaker 2:

OK, Then you go to the bread aisle and you're like Can I have a flow chart? Because?

Speaker 1:

everybody in our house likes something different, somebody likes this, somebody likes that, and then you got to get like hot dog bun can pay whatever you want you're like do I want to spend seven dollars for four hot dog buns or don't want to spend 99 cents for some that are outdated yesterday?

Speaker 2:

yeah I love the cheap ones me too, like if you don't eat hot dog, yeah, but if you don't eat them in 30, 30 seconds, yeah, and it's kind of like strawberries. Oh right.

Speaker 1:

When you get strawberries, you're like oh, this will last a little while. No, you better eat them in 30 minutes.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, or Wash them when you get home and go ahead and start, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Just start pounding strawberries and you better eat that $8 now or you're going to throw it away tomorrow.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, Totally the. Yeah, the bread's too much creamer ice cream. What ice cream creamer?

Speaker 1:

no, that's just ice cream. Ice cream is crazy.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's crazy how much it is sorry to sound like a grandparent, but yeah yeah, it's too, but coffee creamer, it's insane.

Speaker 1:

It's like do you want snickers? Like, if I want a snickers, I'll just buy a snickers. Yeah, it's like do you want Snickers? I'm like, if I want a Snickers, I'll just buy a Snickers.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, everybody's like you know, they got Kit Kat, they got Reese's.

Speaker 1:

I'm like I don't think you want coffee, I think you want to go to the gas station and go down to the candy bar and all.

Speaker 2:

Skip straight past the sardines and get yourself a dusty Snickers.

Speaker 1:

Yeah you, it tastes better than Snickers Creamer a Snickers bar.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you can put it in your coffee cup, Let it melt and stir it up.

Speaker 1:

Or to see to Snickers and then take a sip of coffee.

Speaker 2:

Yep.

Speaker 1:

I don't get it. Yeah, I get like sweet cream.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, you know, we get the oat milk, maple.

Speaker 1:

It's like you're having coffee in Yellowstone like in the middle of the woods. Yeah, yeah, yep, it's like coffee came out of the tree.

Speaker 2:

Basically.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

A little bit of syrup in there, which sometimes when we run out of coffee creamer because we'd use the oat milk.

Speaker 1:

You do syrup in coffee.

Speaker 2:

We do a little bit of just because it's unsweetened oat milk, so we do that for the cream. And then we just do a little bit of just because it's unsweetened oat milk, so we do that for the cream and then we just do a little bit of the syrup sweetens it.

Speaker 1:

I'm telling you change your life well, I guess some people don't, some people put honey maybe, but it saves money for sure yeah, instead of buying the. I don't like the giant coffee creamers like the largest size. I don't like those because, like, first of all, if I spill this, my kitchen is ruined.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like we got to do a new floor. Oh, like the jugs that they have at Bucky's, yeah, yeah you got to use two.

Speaker 1:

If you have to use two hands to pour it into a, cup of coffee.

Speaker 2:

If you got to call the rock up to come pick, then it's too big.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they should have a handle on it. Yeah, I don't get it.

Speaker 2:

What is that yeah?

Speaker 1:

I think they ought to have coffee creamers where you just drop it in.

Speaker 2:

I'm not talking about like individual.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like just a little cube. Like a sugar cube yeah just keep them in the fridge. It can be whatever Snickers Kit Kat. Whatever you take one cube out, drop it in, it dissol Kit Kat. Whatever you take one cube out, drop it in, dissolves stir it up.

Speaker 2:

Oh man Boom, you might be on to something I just got paid, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Not really. I mean somebody's going to invent it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And I'm going to be at the store and I'm going to be like I thought of that.

Speaker 2:

I said that yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Here's my beef with almond milk. First of all, you would go and be like I can't have milk, so make sure you pick me up an almond milk. But now, if somebody tells you that, you're going to call them or FaceTime them.

This is all nuts yeah, there should be one nut milk. Pick an almond, pick a coconut, I don't know. Squeeze it. Whatever you got to do.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, all I'm saying is some people are allergic to maybe one or the other or something. Okay, all right, I like the oat milk. No, but hold on, hold on wait a minute.

Speaker 1:

So some people are allergic to, so they couldn't have.
