    GREEDFLATION: Honey, I Shrunk the Snacks! ft. Graeme Strickland

    GREEDFLATION: Honey, I Shrunk the Snacks! ft. Graeme Strickland

    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.

    Paternalism & Hot Potatoes: Victor returns

    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!

    Edible Arrangements: pre-and-post Roe v. Wade Aces and Spades

    Edible Arrangements: pre-and-post Roe v. Wade Aces and Spades

    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.*

    An activist discusses the ultimate David and Goliath story: Haagen Dazs and Ben & Jerry’s...ft. Victor Davila

    An activist discusses the ultimate David and Goliath story: Haagen Dazs and Ben & Jerry’s...ft. Victor Davila

    Award-winning activist, Antarctic traveler, and prolific artist, Victor Davila (known by friends as Mama Bear), blesses Snacktime by unpeeling the corrupt layers of an ice cream behemoth straight out of the Bronx much like the man himself.  Davila recounts how Haagen Dazs bullied Ben & Jerry's right out of its humble beginnings in Vermont straight into America's hearts, and how nothing is ever as it seems. In Snacktime's longest episode yet Davila states: "Shared knowledge is power. Power mapping is power. Power is a means to an end and that end needs to be freedom."

    WAKE UP to the cult behind Sleepytime Tea

    WAKE UP to the cult behind Sleepytime Tea

    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!

    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.
