Juliet Litman and David Jacoby open the episode by encouraging listeners to call in or watch on YouTube. They dive into food news, starting with a video from the Artemis II spaceflight showing a floating jar of Nutella, prompting discussion on astronaut snacks like beef brisket and broccoli au gratin. The hosts then follow up on previous stories, including McDonald's CEO Chris Kabczynski's cringe-worthy Wall Street Journal interview where he holds a french fry awkwardly. Juliet surprises David with a Formula One Kit Kat brought back from Australia by her neighbors, leading to a live taste test and revelation about Nestle vs. Hershey's production. They blind-taste international Lay's chips, including fried crab and wasabi flavors. The episode covers Marriott switching from Pepsi to Coke products and a viral TikTok review criticizing service at Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes' steakhouse, 1587 Prime. Juliet and David discuss personal food updates, such as Juliet's $6.72 iced coffee habit and David's chili recipe with apple cider vinegar from his mom. They answer a listener question about portion sizes, using pizza slices and tacos as examples. The hosts conclude with plans for future taste tests and trying McDonald's new Big Arch burger.
