  • Chocolate Milk
    Sep 28 2025

    Which 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.

  • Margarita - Craft Cocktails
    Sep 4 2025

    Which 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.

  • Mini Chocolate Donuts
    Jul 31 2025

    Which 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.

  • Grape Juice
    Jul 3 2025

    Which 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.

  • Old Fashioned - Pre-Made Cocktails
    Jun 5 2025

    Which 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.

  • Chocolate Turtles
    May 15 2025

    Which Chocolate covered Turtles are best? As Mr. Gump points out, when you buy a box of chocolate, you don't know everything that will be inside. This week we will sample one common offering that I would expect to see from three popular chocolate brands, so at least you will know which box has the best quality. This weeks contenders are Demets (Turtle), Fannie Mae, and Russell Stover.

  • Orange Juice
    Apr 9 2025

    Which Orange Juice is best? "Last episode you did Pre-biotic sodas, you're telling me you haven't done orange juice yet?" I don't really appreciate the tone, but in fact we have not. It has taken this long because neither of us are the biggest OJ drinkers but this week we finally get one of the biggest monkeys off our backs. And to answer your next question, we can fit 14 monkeys on our backs. This weeks contenders are Florida's Natural, Simply, and Tropicana.

  • Prebiotic Soda - Lemon Lime
    Mar 21 2025

    Which Prebiotic Lemon Lime Soda is best? There is a new fad in the soda world, and it seems to be growing fast. This week we are trying out some of these new "healthy" sodas, which are officially marketed as Prebiotic or Probiotic. The timing of our recording this episode was a bit unfortunate because after we tried out these sodas, my local grocery store started carrying 3 more brands. For now we will be testing to see if any of the contenders (Culture Pop, Olipop, and Poppi) are any good.
