Transcript
Speaker A:

Good morning, it's Haystack.

Speaker A:

Pretty much my favorite time of the week when we check in with my dear old friend Bama, who lives down in rural Alabama.

Speaker A:

And she joins us on the phone now.

Speaker A:

And Bama, there are a lot of people talking online about changes that have been made to Reese's peanut butter cups.

Speaker A:

And apparently some of the versions are using a different chocolate coating.

Speaker B:

Oh hey, Stack, I heard all about that and I am outraged.

Speaker B:

They done swapped real milk chocolate for some kind of craptastic coating.

Speaker B:

That is a betrayal on a spiritual level.

Speaker A:

Well, okay, Bam, I guess you feel pretty strong about this.

Speaker B:

Well, yeah, of course I do, Haystack.

Speaker B:

And it ain't the first time that my favorites has done been ruined.

Speaker B:

They did the same thing to my beloved Barks beverage, Frenzia, the gold standard of fine wines.

Speaker A:

Alright now, fine wine might be a tad bit generous.

Speaker B:

Now don't you judge me, Haystack.

Speaker B:

Something it went turned it into refreshers.

Speaker B:

Now it's got more juice and less alcohol.

Speaker A:

Well, it sounds like they're just trying to make it a little lighter.

Speaker B:

Well, I don't want a refresher, Haystack.

Speaker B:

I want amnesia with a spigot.

Speaker A:

Well, that might explain a few of your stories.

Speaker B:

Well, yeah, exactly.

Speaker B:

First Franzia Malresis, the next thing you know they'll mess with ranch dressing or baby oil, and then society is officially over.

Speaker A:

So that's your line in the sand, huh?

Speaker B:

Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker B:

Which reminds me, I gotta go stock up before they ruin them daily staples too.

Speaker A:

So you're preparing for the schnack apocalypse, are ya?

Speaker B:

Survival of the fetish, sugar.

Speaker B:

Y' all have a great day.

Speaker B:

I gotta go.
