    How Brands Trick You Into Buying Snacks (Supermarket secrets REVEALED!)

    Dub and Nectro are joined by packaging and brand expert Wren Spence to unpack the real reason we buy certain snacks and supermarket products, and it’s not always taste. We dive into how packaging psychology, hype launches, and social media now drive food trends, why some products win purely off design, and whether fast food or supermarkets are pushing innovation harder. They also debate collabs, influencer meals, and how “thumbnail shopping” is changing the way brands design products for online ordering. Plus, rapid-fire takes on the best and worst packaging, products that fooled us, and what Aussie brands could do better. A must-listen if you’ve ever bought something just because it looked good on the shelf. Thanks to our sponsor Royal Stacks! Celebrating 10 Years in Melbourne! Get your burger fix today!

    Snacks vs. Meals: How TikTok Changed the Way We Eat

    Are we still eating meals… or just snacking our way through the day? In this episode of The Food Guys, Dub Eats and Nectorious Papi dive into the rise of snack culture and ask the big question: are snacks officially replacing meals? From protein bars that taste like chocolate, to $12 cookies, loaded croissants, snack plates, and “girl dinner / boy dinner” TikTok trends, we break down when proper lunches disappeared, why social media changed how we eat, and how snacks somehow became more expensive than full meals. We debate whether three meals a day is outdated, rate snacks on whether they’re actually “real meals,” and predict what food will look like by 2030 (spoiler: smaller portions, higher prices, and dessert for dinner). If your lunch is an iced coffee and a protein bar… this one’s for you. Special thanks to Royal Stacks for our weekly burger fix, get yours today!

    Sweet Treats, Chaos & Influencer Drama with Undiagnosed Anthony

    Content creator, sweet treat connoisseur and certified chaos merchant Undiagnosed Anthony joins Dub and Nectro for one of our most unfiltered episodes yet. We kick things off the only way that makes sense, talking about sweet treats, before diving into how Anthony accidentally went viral, where the name “Undiagnosed” actually came from, and how a simple dessert video changed everything. From working full-time and planning a psychology career to racking up massive numbers on TikTok almost overnight, Anthony breaks down the reality of creator life behind the screen. The conversation goes everywhere: wild dessert takes, Greek heritage, favourite foods when he’s not eating sweets, travelling for food, merch selling out in minutes, influencer drama, TikTok Awards energy, and why Australia desperately needs a proper influencer reality show. We also blind-rank Top 5 Greek dishes, argue Sydney vs Melbourne, and somehow end up talking about his mum’s doll collection. Thanks for listening, let us know in the DM what guests you want next?!

    Food Trends Taking Over 2026 (And What’s Finally Done!)

    What food trends are actually shaping 2026, and which ones we want to see left in 2025! On this episode of The Food Guys, Dub Eats and Nectorious Papi recap the biggest trends from 2025, from matcha, pistachio, protein-everything and tiramisu, to cinnamon scrolls and Dubai’s social food influence. Then we look ahead to what’s next: charcoal chicken, fried chicken evolutions, elevated comfort food, creative caviar takes, oil alternatives like tallow, healthier sodas, fibre-focused foods, and the rise of international brands like Jollibee. We also explore where flavour is heading from sauces becoming the real hero, to sweet and savoury snack crossovers, and why Greek flavours and casual Greek dining could be primed for a big moment in Australia. Trends, hype, and what might actually last this one’s all about what’s coming next. Thanks to Royal Stacks for sponsoring the podcast! Get your burgers now!

    The Food We’re Still Thinking About From 2025!

    It’s the final episode of 2025, and we’re wrapping up the year the only way we know how by locking in the best foods we ate all year. From being completely spoilt for choice in Melbourne, to near monthly food missions in Sydney, and plenty of damage done across the US, this episode is a full recap of the meals, snacks, and late-night feeds that actually lived up to the hype. We break it down from burgers, pizza, tacos, kebabs, souvlaki, desserts, and even elite late-night spots, and what we didn’t get to that’s already on the hit list for next year. There’s also a special nod to the $20 Challenge standout of 2025, proving you don’t need to spend big to eat well. If you want a no-filter look at what really hit in 2025 and what’s worth chasing in 2026 this is the episode to end the year on. Thanks for an amazing year, thanks for listening and thanks to Royal Stacks for sponsoring the podcast. Happy 2026! Follow us @thefoodguyspod DM us your questions and topics! Hosted on Acast.
