Snacktime Conspiracy

Snacktime Conspiracy is back with your future congressman from the 252, Graeme Strickland! He explains GREEDFLATION, its impact on our snacks, and the importance of competition policy to prevent monopolies from sucking us all up like a Dyson V8. Graeme loves mint Oreos and hot fries but is decidedly anti-conspiracy, citing the dangers the Freemasons and QAnon have unleashed upon America. 

Buckle up because the longest episode of Snacktime Conspiracy ever recorded takes you from Peru to Ireland to the Bronx as Victor Davila returns to Snacktime to look at world history through the eyes of the potato.  How did Europe take this brilliant Incan technology and yield it as a weapon? Why are microwaves good at cooking potatoes and what does that have to do with cryogenics and hamsters? What iconic candy originally had potato as its base? Who is Axomamma?? Listen to find out! 

Now that it is no longer a constitutional right in the US to have an abortion, we look at how herbs and foods have been used throughout history to prevent pregnancy and induce abortions. As we all know, banning abortion does not stop them from happening, it merely prevents safe abortions and puts women at risk. The usage of gin, citrus, Queen Anne’s Lace, and other abortifacients was during a time when there was no access to safe abortion; a time we are fearful to revisit. Special thanks to Kate Lebo for her book, Difficult Fruit, for providing information on juniper berries and their usage throughout history as an abortifacient. *We are NOT recommending the use of herbs or food to prevent and end pregnancies.*

That cozy Sleepytime Tea bear is a symbol of the unconscious in more ways than one.  Today we uncover how Celestial Seasonings was inspired by The Urantia Book, a 2,097-page text of garbage written by William S. Sadler, a eugenicist and student of Freud. The Urantia Book is 4.3 lbs. of racist ideologies disguised in confusing jargon about aliens, the colors of the rainbow, and planet #606: Urantia, aka Earth. We also discuss the disastrous Kardashian-approved Fittea, Skinny Tea, and Bootea, the latter of which is to blame for a rash of pregnancies in the U.K.   Every Snacktime Conspiracy episode somehow connects back to masturbator-haters John Harvey Kellogg and Sylvester Graham as well as our beloved Kimberly Kardashian and this episode is no different. Wake up sheeple! Celestial Seasonings is lying to you! 

Move over Ray J! The Green M&M has been sexy since 2001! 2022’s fate for Ms Green, the seductive M&M chocolate character, has included a significant makeover. Bye-bye go-go boots! Ms. Green is opting for a Sketchers lookalike, or just any type of no-slip-shoe you’d wiggle your musty feet into if you’re working a restaurant job.  Join us at Snacktime on this Zoom-recorded episode to find out whether someone attracted to manufactured , chocolate marketing pawns are furries: featuring a special guest - Sadé, who helps us dive into the de-sexualization of M&Ms, coordinated media distractions (to lull is into giving a blind eye to child slavery!!!!) and The Book of Revelations.

We came up with a new concept: the party episode. What does this mean? We have a plus one, Ms. Alice Gaddis of Idaho, a renowned naturalist of the highest caliber with unheard of insights on the Mormon world and things regarding Grimes. Besides the plus one, something else is involved: a lack of restraint and alcohol. Perhaps those two are listed out of order. Enjoy with a lager or don't enjoy this at all. 

Ever wondered why you feel a little bit less of a man when you eat yoghurt? Ever wondered why you feel like Schwarzenegger after eating meat? Ever wondered why all of this is B.S.? Let's take a big ZOOM-IN to the world of food marketing.

Why are cops always depicted with doughnuts?  Did doughnuts consent to this marketing strategy?? Doughnuts or donuts?!   Listen to Episode 5 for our theories on this dangerous stereotype, the truth, and how QAnon has twisted the image of one beloved doughnut chain. Conspiracies include the US Doughnutgate of 2018 inspired by Pizzagate, Canada's Doughnutgate of 2020, cops being in cahoots with doughnut shops, and Dunkin Donuts being overrated and ugly.  TW: QAnon, Jeffrey Epstein, child abuse surrounding Pizzagate 

While the pandemic caused snack sales to skyrocket, Nabisco raked in billions.  Nabisco employees were then considered essential workers and hailed as heroes. Now, those same employees are at risk of losing their jobs.  Since early August, Nabisco workers in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Colorado have been on strike as the snack giant modifies employee contracts to eliminate pension plans, increase shift times, and eliminate overtime pay. Episode IV delves into Nabisco's first strike in 52 years, the history of America’s not-so-favorite cookie, and its association with tobacco and stock market bros. We stand with BCTGM union members and Danny Devito when we say: NO CONTRACTS, NO SNACKS

There is nary a corner of the globe untouched by the Coca Cola Company, a brand imbued with nostalgic Americana, high fructose corn syrup,  and initially… cocaine. The Coca Cola Company is not merely peddling soda, they are selling a national identity, an ideal, a fraudulent narrative from which we are unable to untangle ourselves. Listen to Episode II of Snacktime Conspiracy to explore the sordid history of America’s most iconic brand.
