The one and only candy review podcast. Every first and third Wednesday of the month we pick a different candy, give you its history and then taste and review everything from Airheads to Zagnut. We encourage you to eat along with us. Hosted by Greg Gonzalez, Beto Sistos and Daniel Zafran.

What's this? A sugar showdown? This time of the month? All will be explained before we get down to crowning the champion of the popping candy world.
