Welcome back to The Weird Snack Show! 🎉 This episode is a snack‑tasting battle you won’t want to miss.

👾 What we’re trying:

Fizzy Cactus Gummies – the mysterious “cactuz” candy that fizz‑s, looks like a cactus, and tastes like melted Gatorade.

Chocolate‑Tree‑Stump Cookies – carved wooden “stumps” drenched in chocolate which tastes like an homage to the iconic Famous Amos cookie.

🤔 Which snack will win the taste‑test? Will the fizzy candy live up to its hype, or will the quirky tree‑stump cookies crush the competition?

Welcome back to The Weird Snack Show! 🎙️ This week Adrian debuts his fresh taper‑fade haircut (yes, we finally explain it for audio‑only listeners) and the gang dives into two wildly different treats:

1️⃣ Astronaut Ice Cream – a freeze‑dried, space‑age snack that’s been on the kitchen counter since October.

2️⃣ Japanese “Russian‑Roulette” Candy from Nijiya Market in San Francisco’s Japantown – four mystery flavors, one of which can be scorching hot!

Watch (or listen) as the crew cracks, chew, and rate each bite, debate the mystery “muscat” flavor, and survive a possible mouth‑on‑fire moment. Spoiler: the chocolate‑vanilla‑strawberry bar isn’t actually ice cream, and the candy’s “floor‑cleaner” taste will have you laughing (and wincing).
