This episode tastes like childhood—if childhood was fueled by Pop Rocks, cold burritos, and sibling smackdowns over the last Klondike Bar.
This week, the Rooted Warriors are tearing into the crinkly bags of memory and serving up the snacks that raised us. From Kool-Aid toothpicks and Corn Pops to the long-lost glory of Jell-O Pudding Pops, we’re diving deep into the sacred (and slightly suspect) snack lore of the 80s—back when sugar was a food group, carbs didn’t count, and your lunchbox was your street cred.
We’re talking grocery store bribes, schoolyard trades, and survival meals that only made sense at midnight. (Looking at you, grilled PB&J on a tortilla—crispy, tragic, and kind of genius.)
It’s a salty-sweet time warp of processed glory, packed with foods that should’ve come with a warning label but didn’t—and the stories that stuck to our ribs just as much as the snacks did.
🎧 Snack like it’s 1989. No kale. No shame.
