Taste Test Dummies

Ginger Ale

Which Ginger Ale is best?  This week we are finally getting to ginger ales.  We've all seen the main players in this category, but our experience says they are a little weak on the ginger flavor.  Instead we are trying out some of the pricier players in the game in hopes of getting more of that ginger.  The contenders are Fever Tree, Q, Reed's and Zevia.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at nickandjohnpodcast@gmail.com.

Soju -Original Flavor

Which Soju is best?  This week we are having a Korean extravaganza.  We start by taste testing some of the most popular Sojus, and test out some of Korea's popular snacks along the way.  These Soju brands are known for their flavored varieties but we decided to try out the original flavor first.  The contenders are Charm, Good day and Jinro.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at nickandjohnpodcast@gmail.com.

Pocky Sticks

This week we start out by trying Pringles new Habaneras chips, with habanero and lime flavor.  Later we bring in the popular Japanese snack Pocky and pit them up against 2 of their competitors (Fran and Pepero).  With everything on the line can Pocky justify their place in the snack aisle?  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at nickandjohnpodcast@gmail.com.

Irish Whiskey

What Irish Whiskey is the best? This week we start out by trying a strange mixed drink called the Irish Cactus which combines Bailey's and Tequila.  Then sticking with the theme we try out the three most popular Irish Whiskey's in the universe (my source only contained Earth information but I feel it's fair to extrapolate).  The contenders are Jameson, Proper 12, and Tullamore Dew.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at nickandjohnpodcast@gmail.com.

Italian Vermouth

What Italian Vermouth is the best? This week we have another mystery box containing a wine that we are not very familiar with.  This time the mystery wine, that apparently has wormwood, is Italian Vermouth.  We cover a wide array with one Bianco (Chazalettes), one dry (Trincheri) and one extra dry (Triozzi) and later guess the price order.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at nickandjohnpodcast@gmail.com.

Meat Stick #2

What meat stick is the best? This week we revisit the meat stick category, but this time we try the more expensive options.  Each of these products boasts about being some combination of natural, non-GMO, no added sugar etc.  Today we will see if these labels actually change the flavor.  More importantly we learn if the flavor is worth the increase in price.  The contestants are Chef's Cut, Chomps, First Phorm, and New Primal.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at nickandjohnpodcast@gmail.com.

Toffee Candy Bar

What Toffee candy is the best? This week we will try out my nomination for the best chocolate candy bar on the market.  The chocolate covered toffee candy bar feels less exciting than your Snickers and Milky Ways of the world.  But what they lack in pizzazz, they make up for in flavor and texture.  The contestants are Heath, Russell Stover's, and Skor.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at nickandjohnpodcast@gmail.com.

Rosé - French

What Rosé is the best?
