The guys dive into candy this week. It's trick-or-treating time of the year, so everyone comes to the table with their top three candy options for the deserted island.
Mitch Picks
Twizzlers - Always his movie theater candy because he loves the individual strips. He does not want the pull-and-peel.
Watermelon Sour Patch Kids - This flavor has the right sweet-and-sour balance.
Dots - While this might be his most controversial pick, he's standing ten toes down on it. They might stick to your teeth, but they're worth the battle.
Justin Picks
Reese's Pieces - He loves the piece-by-piece candy. The E.T. factor might have made him love them even more. He loves all versions of Reese's, but the pieces are perfectly portioned.
Snickers - This gives you nuts, caramel, and chocolate. Their advertising is spot on, and it's a go-to at the gas station. It's an excellent snack.
Starburst - Justin's preferred order was eating the yellow and orange flavors first, then finishing with red and pink. Plus, the papers will be a good firestarter on the island.
Alex Picks
Peanut Butter M&M's - Alex prefers these WAY over Reese's Pieces. He likes them in the freezer.
Take5 - Pretzels, caramel, peanut butter, chocolate, and peanuts all in one candy. Alex called it the "perfect candy."
Twizzler Nibs - Cherry-flavored bite-sized licorice pieces in a bag. Alex loves licorice so much, even black licorice. But these are his absolute favorite kinds.
Listener Picks & Island Winner
The Take5 helped Alex beat the other hosts.
Listener submissions: Rice Krispie treats, watermelon Sour Patch Kids, peanut M&M's, Swedish candy bubs, toffee dark chocolate, Sour Patch Kids, Snickers, Nerd Clusters, Sour Worms, 100 Grand, Reese's Pieces, Peach Rings, Runts (especially banana flavored), Pretzel M&M's for the sodium, Laffy Taffy for the jokes, Reese's, Sour Patch, and Tootsie Pops
Fact checking:
JK Simmons' salary for playing the Yellow M&M for the last few decades has not been disclosed. Billy West voices the Red M&M, not the Red Power Ranger.
The official ingredients of a Tootsie Roll are sugar, corn syrup, palm oil, condensed skim milk, cocoa, whey, soy lecithin, and artificial and natural flavors. It's a chocolate taffy.
The producer mistyped Rachel's candy submission. It's not "bons," it's "bubs" - you can get a 1 pound mixed bag here and we HIGHLY recommend trying it.
Next up for Halloween month is Horror Movies.
