This week on Toasted, Tom and Beth dive back into the wonderful world of Abi Clarke's shopping history.
Among the topics under the toaster grill this week:

- The increasingly disturbing idea of making cakes in the shape of people
- The listener whose secret Fifty Shades collection was accidentally discovered by her daughter
- Hidden rubber ducks, party games and why every gathering should involve a ridiculous challenge
- The brilliance of Ransom Notes and the world’s easiest literary party game
- The great gilet vs gilet pronunciation debate that's possibly not even a debate
- Eurovision super-fans and their elaborate voting conspiracies
- And finally… the delicate question of How To Poo On A Date
