Motherfucking mini.

Yeah, sol MANI EPI so motherfucking mini.

Yeah.

So Dicky goes crazy.

I've been saying they've upped all the flavor profiles.

I think they I think they taste better than they ever did before.

I've shifted to spin drift, and.

I think because of the real juice.

I think I grapefruit.

I had a bad experience with the grapefruit.

Okay, it was just nasty.

I'm like, it's not good never and I never went back.

You've never gone back.

Never mind that you like.

Grapefruit juice, so not necessarily Yeah, I get it, I get it.

I like grapefruit juice.

Yeah, I don't.

It's not mine, Like, I'm more of a pineapple.

Why did you do that?

Because that's what they had it mu spin drift and I was like, it's like two sour and yeah, but I've been on the Ollie pops and Coppies the big soda guy and I had.

Of course, we all eventually have to stop drinking.

Yeah, but I uh, I'm like, oh, this is great.

Also, they brought back slice just.

What I mean, my girl just went to the mountains and got a bunch of slices.

Slice yeah, they probiotic.

Yeah, okay, yeah, Slic's got a cola ginger ale.

I like that Slice kept the building this whole time.

Yeah you know what I mean.

We slices never they never liked this banded the boys.

No, They're like, no we could, We'll get back.

I bet you the owner probably drank like some old slice, being nostalgic.

I was like, man, that's with my stomach.

Yeah, what if I had something?

Wait a minute, do you remember the strawberry slice?

Even as a kid, I was like, I know this is not You're not supposed to just be drinking this.

Yeah it was.

That ship was strong.

No, man, it was strong and it was thick.

Like I was a fan of Big Red man unnamed flavor.

That's that's undisclosed to be c Yeah, what is Big Red?

Just red?

You got a big Blue too?

Yeah?

Under now undisclosed?

Are these slice flavors?

Because I know, no, this is just a big big because we're not talking Fago red pop ship.

This is Bran cola.

Holy mister big I don't remember Big Red.

Yeah?

Oh man, get you pull up the picture of it.

You remember it.

You remember the bottle because it was only in bottles.

Right, it's a bottle of cans.

They had cans to Okay, yeah, I do remember Big Red.

You're right from Chicago.

Chicago is big.

My family is in Detroit, though, so, like I I was constantly with so.

What was y'alls?

Let me ask, I know you from Denver?

What's y'alls?

What's y'all's?

Uh?

The soda that the kids was allowed to drink at the cookout because I had more experience with cookouts and miss where I'm from, and the adults got the name brands coach.

Right, right, right, I think that PEPSI I think mixture of Safeway Select and then King Supers is our local and they made a three leader.

That's like Shasta here.

Okay, yeah, so the King Supers.

Three leader of Pineapple or whatever happen you was on dads.

Feels like if the FDA wasn't going to step up.

Never change thread.

Three leaders is too much.

Three leaders of a product you're already telling me is not as.

Good as these other products.

Is cheap, but there's more of it.

And that's a marketing tactic that's gotten me several times crazy.

As good as this, there's twice as.

Much even me as a kid who, like I said, I love soda.

Soda has been one of my biggest I don't do no drugs, but soda.

Soda is like, don't show yourself short.

This is yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like, that's that's my biggest vice.

I'm saying, like, definitely be doing the soda lean so uh Shasta Tiki punch.

Well, they would sell that three leader at the nine nine cents store.

God, so a two liter of cocine.

So that's only ninety nine percent.

Sometimes a year.

Shit, And you're like, how was I supposed to win?

Yeah?

How was I supposed to get ahead?

No?

I think about it all the time.

We've talked about it a ton on this podcast because I was a mountain dew kid.

Yeah, it's so good.

It was it.

It used to hit me in the way that I needed to be hit, do you know what I mean?

Yeah, it did all the things I needed.

I used to go to the gas station around the corner from my house.

And this is back when you get like a dollar fifty big goal, and I would get the big goal and the gas station was so close that I would refill it like two or three times in the day with mountain dew?

Yeah?

Do you does it make you upset that they have so many different flavors of mountain dude?

Now I was here, Oh you you didn't even go cod red in middle school?

You like?

Did you like cored?

I hated core?

I was We'll see, all right, we all about it.

I'm thirty six, please, brother, just graduating college.

I know, I know y'all since y'all was booking that.

What the middle school era two thousand and two thousand and three, right the seven after school seventy eleven bag of hot cheetos, I was Pepsi blue, which apparently was like.

All terrible for us.

It was so drunk.

Brother, here.

Pepsi blue.

Then I got the high school, I was like, I'm not drinking.

Remember, people used to be like, I'm not drinking though soda.

They were replaced it with just as sugary, if not more sugary juice.

Everybody knows I drink.

I don't do that soda like you do drinks.

It's still the same syrup.

It's just lovely and not bubbly.

That Arizona used to hit so hard after football practice.

Dog.

I used to think that Snapple was healthy for me.

I was surely like, nah, if I have a Snapple, then I'm I'm doing good.

A salad better.

My mom actually like being like, you ain't drinking that soda, drink this snapple.

I had a very young mom.

It was a class bottle though.

That's tricky, and that's yeah, that's tricky.

It was class.

They put information under the cap.

Were those real facts?

I don't know?

They were?

They were lying, right, they were lying?

They well, they they were.

They were.

They were real in that they were based on real facts, but they were made small enough to fit on a bottle cap, so they're always leaving out vital information and the ship that they're you know what I mean, Like there are Snapple facts that you read and you're like, all right, yes it's not a lie, but nigga, you didn't tell me.

Check and knee high me high?

What?

I don't know what high is?

I really get?

What's the flavor?

My favorite was peach.

Oh, it's that's the brand.

And they had all the flavors.

They were, at least for the Midwest, the first ones to really fuck around outside of the original like sort of set of flavors, like you got like they originally they were the first motherfuckers that did like strawberry Kiwi out of nowhere, and you're.

Like, whoa, y'all were bugging.

I didn't know we could do that.

There's certain flavors that always tap into if it's kiwi something, I always get that passion fruit, which I've never had a passion fruit in real life my whole life.

I don't even know what it looks like.

It's it's a little ball.

It's it's a teeny tiny ball.

It's purple, and you cut that bad boy Helm and brother.

The seeds.

It's mostly seeds.

I will say passion fruit is my favorite fruit flavor on earth, like like the to taste the passion fruit and the artificial version it is.

If I get passion fruit, I'm always happy.

But a passion fruit itself is not that dope, and you kind of feel sad after because it's like this small.

No.

I mean, we perfected fruit in the lab.

I think we need acknowledge that, right, yep, yeah, have you never had a grape regular?

That's how we end up with twenty minutes of soda talk?

Is this a conspiracy?

The templand sign is that from a previous episode.

It is when they when people used say that somebody was hanging from the tree.

Yeah, that the Timberland Company is owned by the KKKA.

Yeah, and if you look close see somebody.

Yeah, it's crazy.

People are really crazy.

That's what I've learned doing this podcast.

People are people are.

Y'all have to have run out by now to give up on the lord, y'all can cut this out.

But this was from you.

You know what's funny is is we definitely have like repeated some conversations, but not as many as you would think, Like way more often are we getting like some version of a new conversation from folks, even though it's just so much like this is new, Yeah, you've never done those intolerance.

I think there's also just so much new media and shit coming out.

There's so much content to like take in distill through a black lens, you know what I mean that there's always some new black shit to think about.

Yeah, remember when mayonnaise was have y'all talked about this undercover brother ruined mayonnaise for black people.

I mean, here's the thing, as a black man who does like mayonnaise, that was a tough like I like it.

I still feel embarrassed.

I don't.

I don't, I do.

I do feel exactly that.

I feel embarrassed.

Like it's not like I'm not going crazy, but like on a sandwich, Yeah, I want that.

I don't see a miracle wrong with miracle.

If somebody gives me miracle whip, I'm not going to finish it.

And people who say mirale whip is better than mayonnaise.

Stupid people.

Stupid, Yeah, because it's not No, you have no discernment.

You have no you can't tell what's going on you're talking about.

It tastes like spoil mannaise not good.

It's so gross, it's legitimately not good.

When can we get mayonnaise back as black people?

I don't know, because can I tell you one thing?

You know what happens sincerely on you can just buy French bread with mayonnaise on it and they just eat that ship plane.

I think what's crazy is we gave up on Eddie Griffin before we gave up on hating mayonnaise.

Yeah.

See, Eddie Griffin is not in the same place as he was, not at all, damn.

But he's the one that started that.

Yeah, anti mayonnaise campaign.

I remember, come on, man, you telling me in the nineties you weren't making a blooney cheese sandwich and putt mayonnaise on it.

Mayonnaise and mustard, that's what it goes together.

Yeah, I'm about to get a little conspiratorial with y'all.

I'm starting to think Eddie Griffin's career took a downturn when he fucked around with mayonnaise.

I'm starting to think, in your bag, I'm starting to think that he sucked with somebody's money in a way that they didn't like the Helman's family.

The Helman's family that they had an institution, as far as I'm concerned in the black community, potato salad, mayonnaise, Yeah, foods.

After that movie, Helmets turned into Best Foods.

M Brother, they changed the name.

He did it hurt some people.

I bet there was a merger going on, like similar to what's going on with Viacom and the Trump Ship.

I bet you there was a mayonnaise going on and he was fucking up the merger with all this anti male BNC.

Was about to close the deal with Big Mayonnaise.

Yep, they had they had a big plan a big rollout prepared and here come Eddie Griffin being funny.

Yep, the black dollar is strong.

This strong is huge.

They don't they don't like to talk about it.

The black dollar is strong.

And if and if the if black people stopped buying something, yep.

And specifically the black food dollar is very And I think he's zeroed in on a way of actually getting people to stop as opposed to like righteousness, which is not how we stopped doing stuff, you know what I mean.

It's a shame, but as a community, we're not like it's the right thing to do.

Brother and.

Nah.

But if you shame people and being like if you eat that, you ain't black in nineteen ninety nine, Yeah, that changes the way I approached the world.

Yeah, you know what I.

Mean, Like I didn't feel good about mayonnaise, and they made the mayonnaise look nasty in the movie.

Yeah, it was like shaking him.

Yeah.

Man, he had that, he had that, he had that watch that like spit hot sauce into it to make.

The man yeah, which I never understood because I was like, what what is it about the mayonnaise you don't like?

Is it it's bland for you?

Because that's not its point, that's not.

This point is lubrication.

Yeah, eat this sandwich.

Downs boy go down, but Manna go down.

He sounds like a card.

You wanted to go down food.

You gotta get some man a man.
