Diana Lu joins us again to watch some candy commercials and discuss our childhood candy memories. We started with Skittles Commercials Through the Years because we figured we should definitely try to see something from when AIDS awareness hero Zelda Rubinstein was the voice of the Taste the Rainbow campaign. Have you got a specific Skittles commercial you remember from your childhood? Also, is Julia right about the second commercial being in the coolest ever place or nah?

We then took a detour into Jelly Belly history. You too can be a super cool kid like us and learn all about Ronald Reagan's connection to these confections.

Diana brought up Dave Chapelle's Purple Drink bit after we discovered that the original Skittles flavors were lemon, orange, strawberry, lime, and … purple. We also decided to watch some other candy commericials. First we checked out a Twix soul commercial that I had never seen. And then we watched one that Geoffrey and I both did remember. OH YEAHHHHH. Finally, we decided we needed a break. Off of a Kit Kat bar! We also talked about some other candies including Butterfinger, Jolly Rancher, SweetTarts, and Smarties (which are different in the US than in the UK and Canada).

This discussion made us SUPER HUNGRY for Halloween candy. Luckily, it is actually Halloween! We don't have to wait, or pretend to have a diet that isn't mostly made up of fun size candy bars! Which kind is your fave?
