Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Fuzz, where we envision the ideas we'll
all be buzzing about in the future.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The fuzz.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Future, sure, in the future, in.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
The future, in the future far nap.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
While the things we talk about on this podcast might
seem impossible or even slightly insane, so did the development
of sugar confections, the creation of solid chocolate, and of course,
the invention of pop rocks. And where would our world
be today without these innovations.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
On today's episode, we're talking about the thing that has
been delighting children, adults, and the elderly alike for centuries.
I'm talking about candy, from Eminem's and taffy to warheads
and warthers. Some would say candy rules our world, but
will it always be that way? Let's take a trip
(01:19):
forward in time to find out. Patrick, do you want
to take us into the future and tell us what
candy is going to look like years and years, decades
and decades, centuries and centuries from now.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I would love to, but as we always do, first
we have to step into the time of shine. In
a world where everything adapts to you, why shouldn't you're candy?
(01:55):
Introducing mood Pop gummy candies that change flavor based on
how you feel.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Are you happy?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Taste sweet strawberries. Feeling chill? You'll love the cool mint
a bit adventurous. Get ready for a spicy kick. Let
your joy take the wheel with a burst of juicy sweetness.
Need a moment to unwind? Refresh your mind with cool,
calming mint. Are you feeling bold? Embrace the heat with
(02:30):
a spicy kick that'll awaken your senses whether you're happy, relaxed,
or daring. There's a flavor for every mood. Rest sured.
There's no two bites that are ever the same.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Mood pop taste your emotions mood pops.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
So essentially we've got the moody in your mouth of
the future, a wanka like creation very.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Much, so that changes with you. Yeah, you know we
mentioned pop rocks. It's kind of like that, right. It's
like there's always these hints from the past coming up
into future candies, mood pop, gummy candies. You know, it's
like this pop of something and it's based on your emotions.
Pretty unique in that way, I think too. There's this
(03:27):
like element where you really have to be in control
of your emotions too, because if you're angry or if
you put it in your mouth and you suddenly get angry,
that could be upsetting. You know, you didn't expect that flavor,
or you know, you want to feel a certain way,
you kind of have to like train your mind, like
I really want this flavor. I want to be in
(03:47):
a good mood, So you kind of need to train
yourself to be that way, or at least be in
control of where you want to go, otherwise your flavors
could be unpredictable. This was my big question.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
This is what I was thinking about sort of throughout
that now very positive up be pitch. What if you
come in you know you're not not feeling great that day,
feeling a little a little down, a little melancholy. You
get blueberries one thing I'll cheer me up. It's always candy.
Grab a piece of candy, and you know you're feeling terrible.
(04:19):
Is it going to be awful? Is it going to
be gross? Or are you still gonna get something good?
What's going to happen?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I don't think there's any terrible flavors that come from it,
but you know, I think those flavors reflect moods, you know,
and there are certain flavors that have connotations for an emotion,
you know what I mean. I jokingly use blueberries if
you're feeling blue. But you know, obviously wouldn't be that obvious.
But I do think that, like it's not like the uh,
(04:47):
what are the jelly beans that are like puke flavored
stuff like that or like throw like earwax. I don't
think it's anything like that. But the candies reflect.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
The mood, you know what I mean? To some degree,
I wonder what murderous rage tastes like.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, well, like like you said, you know, if you're adventurous,
you know, you might have like a spicy kick, So
maybe there's like a peppery type taste or it's like
there's heat to it.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I could see that if meme culture still exists, you know,
in the future, if we still are meming a lot,
this would be a good thing where people talk about,
you know, today, I'm feeling this flavor. This is what
flavor I'm getting today, you know, based on their mood
as they stick one of these in their gullet.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah. If it existed today, right, that would be huge
on social media. People would be doing that all over
the place and be like influencers would be talking about
the candy and how it reflected their mood. They'd be like,
this is how I'm feeling today, and then they showed
the candy and it's like, you know, hot peppers or
what else would be a solemn mood?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Would it be ice cream?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Like ice cream flav because you know people when they're
sad or they're depressed, they eat ice cream. So maybe
maybe it's giving you something to help you through that emotion.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
It could be the salt of tears. It could be
it could be something bland, you know what I mean,
because you're feeling kind of bland. It's like this is bread.
It could be sour.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Oh yeah, hm, like I think I I think I
have dry tasteless chicken. Is that what this gummy flavor is?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Right now? What is this saying about me? Dry chicken?
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
In your candy? That would be the That would be
the worst. Honestly, you're hoping for something good and get
dry chicken. I like it. I like it, yeah, but
variable customized to the person. This is probably all food
in the future, but particularly with candy. I think there's
a lot of exciting possibilities.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I love the idea that they could engineer something that
could reflect something that's very intangible, like the food is
reading you. Yeah, to be able to read and reflect
your emotions, that's pretty amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So what are you bringing back from.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
The future for today's listeners, Sed.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Well Patrick, why don't you step with me into the
time machine.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
While prison parties please set themselves to maximum attention levels
for the reading of today's court docket. Court Docket number
two zero nine to nine CIV eight two seventy four
Court Galactic Health and Safety Tribunal, Date September third, forty
twenty four. Judge Justice Xaanthia Balthazar. Prosecutor Aliam Reeves Esquire,
(07:45):
Defense Attorney Leira Freeman, Esquire. Case summaries, Case number one
People versus Doctor Alaric Henslow Charge Unauthorized production of campy Summary.
Doctor Henslow is accused of illegally producing a batch of
confectionery items, including frosted Nebula bars and celestial gummy ords
(08:09):
in his private laboratory. These items were distributed covertly to
members of the scientific community. Prosecution's argument, doctor Henslow's actions
pose a significant risk to public health and the longevity
of society. The production of unauthorized candy undermines established health
protocols and demonstrates a blatant disregard for the Life Longevity
(08:32):
Act of forty oh two. The prosecution seeks maximum penalties,
including the mandatory recalibration of neural behavior patterns and a
life ban from any scientific research positions. Defense's argument, Doctor
Henslow argues that the confectionaries were intended solely for experimental
purposes to study potential new nutrient applications, No harm was intended,
(08:54):
and the items were distributed within controlled environments. The defense
requests reduction in charge arges to administrative oversight violations. Case
number two People versus A Laura Voss Charge Possession of
Prohibited Confectionery. Alaa Vass is accused of possessing a collection
of illegal candies, including Stellar crunch Bars and Quantum jelly Beans,
(09:19):
found during a routine health inspection.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
The candies were discovered.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
In her personal living quarters, along with hollow records of
consumption habits. Prosecution's argument possession of any form of candy
is a direct violation of the Galactic Health and Safety Regulations.
The prosecution argues that possession alone indicates a potential intent
to consume or distribute prohibited substances compromise public health and safety.
(09:45):
Defence's argument A. Lara Voss asserts that the candies were
inherited from a deceased relative and were kept as momentums.
She contends that there is no intent to consume or
distribute them, and requests that the items be returned with
a warning rather than facing criminal charges. Additional notes health advisory.
All members of the public are reminded that adherence to
(10:06):
the Galactic Health and Safety Regulations is mandatory. Consumption or
production of unlicensed confectioneries is a serious offense. Future hearing.
Further cases related to candy violations will be scheduled as
necessary with ongoing reviews of health and safety legislation to
ensure public well being.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
End of docket.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
So that's in the way distant future, way way way,
way way out.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I mean, it's not that far. You know, we won't
be there.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
But no, yeah, it sounds like candies are not really
widely accepted in that future. It's illegal contraband what I
didn't understand where these candies, which we have obviously haven't
heard of yet, were they using some substances that were
bad in terms of nutrients, or like the you know,
(11:03):
the ingredients, Like I didn't get it if they were
using something that was beyond sugar.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Clearly, Yeah, I think they're different. I think society at
that point has become much more healthy, much more health obsessed.
So anything that kind of falls into the candy bucket.
Obviously these candies being discussed much different than what we
have today. But candy essentially a drug. You know, it's
(11:29):
something that people are doing or creating illegally on the
side or in the underground, in the shadows, not something
that you can do in the mainstream. And if you're
caught with it, creating it, consuming it, you go into jail.
My friend. That's what it seems like. They're coming after you. Yeah,
and jail being they're going to zap you or you know,
(11:54):
do something to your brain. We don't know what's happening.
Something neural we heard mentioned there. Maybe they're removing a
piece or brain that craves candy. Oh yeah, I'm just
throwing that out there. I have no reason to believe that,
but it seems seems possible from what I'm hearing from
this court docket. So if you love Snickers, this is
(12:14):
not the future for you. It's not satisfying in nature.
If you have that afternoon hunger, I don't know, you're
in trouble. You got to go to a back alley.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I do like some of the names, though, of the
candies from the future. They're something orb there was we.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Had stellar crunch bars, quantum jelly beans, celestial gummy orbs,
and frosted Nebula bars.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Those all sound really delicious versions of what we have today,
only galactic in nature.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, you have to wonder. They're probably like some variation
on what we have today. Who knows how long it's
been since the average citizen has seen or eaten candy.
Maybe never. Maybe this is a society where people are
born who've never touched a piece of candy.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Planetary solitude from the candy world.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I mean, just a candy list world. Is that a
better world? Is it a worse world? Who is to say?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, Well, clearly people are still craving it because they're
doing things against the law.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Well, one thing, we know, take something away, people will
want it more than.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Ever, whether they're Nebula crunches orbs, gummy orbs or crack
or crack. Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the last one
on the list.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah, no, those are those are interesting futures.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
We hope that this, you know, gave you a glimpse
at Candy and how it could you know, potentially evolve,
or the way we consume it in the future, the
way it changes our emotions or at least reads them.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Maybe it won't change them, but it'll at least read them. Yeah,
in one future, you know, more in tuned with us,
more attached to us in a way, and in one
future taken away from us. Which road will we go down?
And when will we get there?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Yeah, it's quite possible. One leads to the other. As
we always say, you know, maybe Candy reading our emotions
leads us down the path to eliminating it altogether because
of some strange side effect we don't know. We don't know,
maybe Candy learns a little too much about us. It's possible.
We'll find out one day. But today, that's all for
(14:28):
the fuzz. Tune in next time for more of tomorrow's buzz.
Today Today is that your time machine?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
It's getting a little crazy in there. I think we
need to fix it. I think there's a bolt loose,
some rickacheting around
