Well, hello and welcome back to Candy Chat. Hi y'all, I as
always and Betty ever saw and with me just to my left is Tabitha Hutchinson.
I'm always Tabitha Hutchinson too. It is so nice to see you again,
tab Oh, so nice see you. Betty? You look great?
Why thank you? Is that a new blouse? It is? Do you
know that they had a sail over Piggley Dog And I swear to goodness,
I almost just lost my mind there. Everything was just so affordable and it
was also looked so good. I can't tell you how many times I have
almost lost my mind at Pigglly Dog. And I don't blame me because I
do not have the money for yarn barn. It is just, you know
who does exactly the way things are these days. I don't understand how they
stay in business. Their prices are so goodness, but everything does look so
nice from that so nice. Sometimes I windows shop on what I call wishing
Wednesdays, and I'll just go out and I'll just go to the places I
wish I was shopping at, and you know what, I go home that
day and I feel like the Queen is Shiba. That's so great, because
you know what, I have thankful Thursdays, and I'm just I just sit
and I'm thankful for everything that I do have. You are a delight Tabitha
style. Now, if in case you're just finding us here, Tabitha,
please tell everyone what we're about. Well, y'all, we're Candy Chad.
Hey, we just we just sit and talk about candy. We love candy.
We have always loved candy, and we like to share that love of
candy with you. And I'll tell you, in all my days, I
don't think I've ever met someone who didn't like a little sweet tree, who
doesn't like candy, y'all exactly. Come on, thank you so much for
listening. And I know we have been gone for far too long. It's
been too long, Betty, but I'm afraid after our Sour Patch Kids episode,
we both had so many mouth stores we couldn't eat a single piece of
candy. It's true. My mouth was at a commission for about three weeks.
And now I talked to the doctor. Now he told me I tried
to hold the buttermilk in my mouth for as many hours as I could stand.
The furthest I ever got was two and a half before I had to
swallow him. But I'll tell you what they said. It was supposed to
accelerate the healing process. And I am so pleased to say I am back
and ready for a candy. You see, I held lard in my mouth.
Oh I heard that. I heard that, But I don't have any
in my house. You don't have laarden. You know what I cook with
Crisco. It's just the way my mama taught me. And it's just the
way that I know how to cook. I don't blame you. I don't
blame it on to each their own, which I suppose is sort of the
central idea of our delicious sweet exploration. Now this week on candy Chat,
spring has sprung, hasn't it. Oh it's finally I'm seeing some green on
the trees, and you know what that puts me in mind of fruit,
fruit exactly. I knew it. I knew you were gonna say it,
or you say it. It's like you're just listening to all my thoughts.
That's weird, though, let's not talk about that. Getting a little out
of our area. Now, today we have three delicious choices. What do
we have? Tabitha well, I'll tell you what. We got some Starburst
jelly beans. Ooh, now there are recent additions to the jellybean scene.
They sure are, up until three years ago, only available in a limited
edition during the holiday season, that holiday being Easter, of course. And
I didn't think anything could unseat jellybillies. But you know what, this will
give them a run for its money. Oh well, I cannot wait to
taste that. Then. And we also got what is this here, Mac
and I Jolly Joe's. Now, these are chewy, great flavored candies.
Now, I'm just familiar with standard mic and ICs, where it's a mixture
of flavors you're generally disinterested in, correct, But this is all great?
Oh well, that's all right, too much. Now we also have something
that I have never seen before, and I am just so excited to taste
it. We have Skittles dark Side. Oh I don't know about that.
I was so apprehensive, you know what. It just so happened that I
asked one of the gentlemen at the grocery store, who's a deacon at the
church. Okay, said it's just fine, okay, Okay, Well then
I trust him, and I'm just I mean, you know what, let's
just dig in. Why don't we both just try some of these skittles.
Let's gets dark side. I'm just gonna take a few. I don't know
if it's smart to mix the flavors. I want to got a back and
act in there. Whoops the daisy. We mixed some of them together,
y'all. We We didn't put all the bacon acts in those skittles bowl,
but some of them got in. They just snuck in there. They just
run all over. Now I'm reading the back of the bag because I'm getting
flavors here that I'm not familiar with. M hm, and so excuse me.
So I'm reading the flavors off the back of the bag. There's pomegranate.
M that's interesting. Blood orange, oh, I don't know. That
sounds kind of that's a powerful flavor. But you know what, they had
blood oranges last year at the School of Social Farmer's Market. Just very dark
oranges. That's all it is. Okay, that's all it is. It's
harmless fun midnight lime. Now, how that's different from a day to daylime,
I'll never know. I didn't know they had daylimes those lives. Yeah,
I thought they were just limes. I didn't know there were different classifications
of them. I'm learning stuff. Also on the list dark berry, dark
berry, M what's a light berry one? I mean just an underwrite berry.
I think they this is a dark berry. So I imagine it's the
sweetest. It's probably good for you. It's probably got a lot of vitamins
in it. And the last flavor, it's oh god, spit it out,
Spit it out. I've already swallowed. What happened. It's forbidden fruit.
It's forbidden food. Is the flavor? How oh, Betty, we've
really got to read these labels before we put my girl mouths. Oh my
goodness. Now we took a little bit of a break. The deacon said
it was all right. Though he said it was all right, It must
be all right. Maybe it's just maybe it's just marketing. I just don't
know if I still you know what he said. It's fine, he said,
it's okay to enjoy it. And it's just the name of a candy,
all right. Maybe it's just marketing. And also he asked, he
challenged me to find out a quote in the Bible that said, there is
the fruit that is not allowed to be eating in a candy format. I'm
game for that challenge. M all right. I think we all are from
You're with the forbidden fruit of the tree. But there's nothing apple flavor.
Didn't say apple in there, so I think we're okay. What a quandary.
It was just so unsettling. But now that I know it's okay,
I'm not afraid to tell you I'm enjoying these Yeah, you know what.
I hate to admit it, but I like them too. Well. You're
my little partner in crime. Tabitha. Oh, don't tell nobody now,
Tabitha, what are you tasting? Well, you know what, I don't
know. I guess I taste the midnight didn't that line, you know,
when they say midnight lime. Of course we shot it down as being nothing
but silly fluff, But oh, Miami, I think I taste some good
midnight flavor in there. You know, there is a dark overtone to a
lime that has always been far too bright in my opinion. True. I
mean, I've had keen lime pie and I'm like, tone it down,
please, too much? Too much? Now, if I could find a
midnight lime pie, I'd dropped a macanac I'll find it. Well. With
each mouthful of this delicious candy, I become a more and more fervent believer
that Skittles have always understood what I want in a fruit candy. Wow,
that is deep. It's it's like they're like the eminem's of a fruit flavor.
I feel like these Skittles dark side. Maybe what happens if you think
of just eating Skittles in the Caribbean. Oooh but without all that mango fluff
and no coconut, no coconut, and nobody's serving you peanut coladas on the
beach. I know. I didn't order those, and they kept coming,
thank you, and they said, oh, but it's for free, it's
part of the package. Well, I'm sorry, but your sinful alcohol it
is not part of the package that I call salvation. I was terrified.
It's okay, it's okay, But I just think they remind me of the
beach and maybe an actole. Oh that is nice. You know, those
are such wonderful memories. We took a cruise together two years ago. Tabitha
and I were fortunate enough to go on the Ocean Devotion cruise. I loved
it so much. I can't believe how much nickels I spend in those slot
machines. Oh, me too, and I'll tell you what, it's so
much easier walking with the Lord when you're on a beach, Tabitha, those
were the times I carried you. Oh come on, Oh we did have
fun. But let's just not spend the entire time loving on skittles. Let's
move on to the macanacs. Okay, now, as we said before,
these are the Jolly Joe version. It's just grape and that's all you're getting.
So well, if you don't like grape best, you just get schedooded
when well jumping jelly beans. These things are tasty, but I tell you
what, they get stuck in your tae. They are gummy. They have
like a very jelly bean center that really sticks to your dental work. I
don't think my denters can handle this, Betty. I don't know about you.
Now they are along. I mean, I would like to fix it
and forget it, but I can't. I can't. Now do you think
I get kicked out of the church if I mash two of these onto my
cane nine teeth so they look like great things? I don't think so.
I don't think that'll work like that. That's a relief, because I'm gonna
do it. The Lord loves everybody, you know, He's not gonna kick
somebody out for being a grapula. Did you just make that up or did
you read that I'm God Posts. I'm sorry, I've read that in God
Posts. I'm sorry. I'm not claiming that for me. Own. I
gotta tell you, I thought I could be brave. And you know,
if you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all, which is
so easy because these mike and ikes have just glued my mouth shut. How
many do you think I can? I can eat it once, Oh,
Tabitha, I am gonna. I'm gonna get a little crazy here, Okay
for it. We've now come to the part of the show we called tempt
Tabitha. Oh, test Tabitha. Test Tabs Tabitha. I'm gonna test and
tempt you to eat no less than twenty of those Jolly Joe's simultaneously. And
also, I'd like you to sing us a little song fourteen fifteen. All
right, here we go. I've got the song. It's like watching Shark
Week. I wish y'all could be here to see the old drop. If
not that good, that thing for me, Tabitha and I will stand by
the old ruging crobs jo last nitrozly Town. Tabitha, you have the voice
of an angel, and I am getting nothing but a grape wind. But
I went across the studio good, I'm nothing. This really tuested my dentres.
What amatna? Is a fair number to test you with? Now do
you think, Tabitha, if I had said thirty, you'd still be able
to do it? I don't think so, because that has been about ten
too many. It sounds like you've just got a mouthful you're working on.
I'm sorry, buddy, but you're gonna have to shoulder and load for a
while. Well, you know that's just a part of test Tabitha that we
enjoy the most, because as far as I've gone, you have never failed
to step up. Oh, I'm just so impressed with you. Well,
whilst you finish your mastication, I'm gonna move on to our third candy this
week. Now. As we said before, Starburst has always been a prominent
player in the fruit candy scene, but now they have shouldered into a whole
new territory with the regular edition and of ease of availability of their Starburst jellybeans.
No, I've tried, start, Tabitha, You're not done chewing all
right? Oh now I feel like just the horrible person. You're right,
but you're right. No regrets, bet ain't no regrets. I like being
tested, and you have always passed with flying colors. Now next time we
should do it with skittles, so those flying colors will be a taste of
the rainbow. These colors are all just purple. I think I'm done all
right, So Starburst jelly beans, let's each grab some, Okay, and
now for me, I don't even bother looking. It just goes right now.
I'm the hatch. Goodness, I got a lot of reds and oranges
in mine. That's lucky. What do you hear that? Well? Reds
and oranges are two of the most popular flavors, yellows being the least.
Although I'd never pur my nose up at him. I think lemon is a
delicious addition. M we should have called our podcast Deliver it's just edition.
Oh well, I swanny, you just think of the best names. Regrets
the hardest thing to live with. I always say, well, I'll just
get rid of it. That's easy enough. I enjoy your direct solutions to
my quanders and problems. Oh, I am getting such a rich Cherry flavor
from this mismash of assorted things up throwing in my mouth. So I will
easily say Cherry's the bully of the playground. I think so too. He's
pushing all the other flavors around right off that jungle gym, because I have
maybe three. I mean it tasted like robotesting to me, which I enjoy.
I'm alright with it. I mean it's like Line wants to ride on
the swing set too, but Cherry ain't gonna let it. Nope, that
makes it become midnight Lime, So it goes Skittles. I see what you
did. What you've done is just tied two of our choices together. Now
I'm looking over the bag right now to sort of get them an official declaration
the flavors were dealing with you. What do you see? I see just
a very standard with one amazing twist. What remember when I said how lime
was never going to get a turn on the swings, Well, sugar limes
not even at school that day. No, the green isn't lime at all.
Oh, excuse me you are on air. I am so apologetic about
that. It just snuck up on me like a snake in the grass.
It's a sneaky snake. It can be a gas can be a sneaky snake.
It certainly can in the grass. And I apologize to all of you
on Oh, I see what you did, because I was thought the intestines
would be the snake because they look like a snake. Do you still understand
how I think that? Well, before that rude gastronomc interruption, I was
going through some flavors. We have cherry, orange, strawberry, lemon,
grape, and I know what you're saying. Tell me something I haven't heard.
I sure am. Where when is starbursts gonna bring the thunder to this?
Where's that kiwi? Where's that exotic star fruit? Some passion fruit?
Maybe? Now here's what they did. They threw you a curveball. What
is it? Apple? Apple? Apple? Once again, they're just knock
knock knocking on jelly Belly's door because Apple used to be the sole purveyor in
that area. I mean, jellybelly used to be the sole purveyor of the
apple flavor, and everyone just went nutsy for it. Well, golly gob
stoppers, they might as well have just called it forbidden fruit. Oh my
goodness, just because you could never get it. Jesus Louise passed the peas.
I'll tell you why I am not gonna eat any more green jelly starbursts.
Oh really, are you gonna show them, you, Tabitha. I'm
gonna show them. And what I order to do is send them all the
green starbursts back in the bag. Allow to just mail it right back to
their headquarters. You should mail it care of my stomach because I'm in love
with them. Oh really, I mean they're good. All the other flavors
are real good. You know. The texture is not as hard as the
skittle which I and Joey after I really jawned through some skittles. It was
a welcome respite. It's a welcome respite from a mouthful of mic and act
Jolla Joe's. I can tell you that much. Oh my goodness. Well,
I think we've easily selected our third place this week. Goodness, I'm
so sorry both to Mike and Ike. Apologies, but your Jolla Joe's left
me jolly jaw sore and me even more because I had twenty of you in
my mouth at the same time. So, right, Tabitha, I can
only imagine the nightmare journey your mouth went on today. Here I am trapesing
around at midnight with a lime flavor, and you're just doing all the hard
work with the hard candy. Oh it's nothing. Well, that means we
have to pick a first place for this this week. Well, I'll tell
you what. It is a tough choice because both both of our remain in
candies this week. Both the Skittles and the Starbursts jelly beans have amazing characteristics.
But I'm gonna tell you what. Right now, I'm gonna put my
vote in for Skittles dark Side. Oh. I hope I don't get kicked
out of the church the bad. Oh we agree again. I thought,
Oh, I was hoping you'd say dark Side skittle mmmmmmm. I think they're
so good and it's just such an exotic flavor that happens in your mouth all
at once. At the same time, I agree, it is the exotic
nature of it that puts it just head overed heels over the top. And
don't get me wrong, I absolutely adored the jelly beans, and they are
exquisite. But jelly beans are a thing we're all very familiar with, and
while they do their job well, they're still a workhorse of the candy shelf.
So now please tell us what you think. Go out and try these
candies. And as always, both Tabith and I are very curious as to
what you're sucking on. Please write us and tell us what m Have you
got a big old candy that you like putting in your mouth? We'll tell
us because we'll put it in our mouse too. Absolutely, there's no stone
unturned in our eternal journey for their sweetest candy, because these sweet teeth have
feet, and they are marching all over the candy. They are marching into
cavalry. So you like you like dark chocolate? Are you a dark chocolate
kind of person? We can beat you. Like white chocolate. We like
white chocolate. In fact, I like white chocolate. White. Bit.
I'll tell you what if I had to pick the chocolate that I like,
it's the chocolate that's in front of me. You are too much, Betty,
stop it, stop it, stop it. Oh, we have had
so much fun. We sure have so for this week at candy Chad.
My name is Tabitha Hutchinson and I am Betty ever Saw and thank you so
much for listening. Thank you, thank you. You are so sweet.
All right, God blessed,
