Welcome to the Burnaphone, Ben Boyce. Just a mouthful of Sammy there. What have you got there? A nice little roll with some ham. What are you running in there? I've got some chicken, mayo and cheese in there. Ooh, wee. Yeah, it's a nice little bun.

Good combo. It's good. Favourite roll or sandwich combo? For some reason, I feel like rolls taste better than sandwiches. Yeah, true. When they're fresh rolls, great. Ooh, can't beat it. So, would you go? If you don't mind me laying out my preferred combo.

Yeah, no, go for it. Okay. Going a layer of Kewpie mayo. Oh, yeah. Nice. Layer of hot English mustard. Oh, now you lost me. But it's nice for some.

Going to hit me with some ham. Yeah, that's good. Then I'm coming in with some cheese. Yeah, nice. Tomato. Yeah. Avo. Oh, avo, good.

Lettuce. Yeah. Avo. Oh, avo, good, yeah. Lettuce. Yeah. I would say replace the mustard with, say, maybe like a relish, tomato relish or something. Ooh. With the mayo, that's something I'd do. Not a real mustard person. I can eat it, but it's not, you know. Yeah.

It's not my go-to. Like, if I get the choice with or without, I'll probably have without, but I can eat it with it. I love it when you really push the boat out on the mustard sometimes now, and then you take a bite and you're like, oh, both nostrils. It really fires through the nostrils, doesn't it?

My name is Peter. I'm a huge fan. I listen to your podcast every day while sitting in traffic. We spoke to Peter. Peter phoned through yesterday. Yeah, that's right. Helps me become less annoyed with the traffic. I think my question is, I think while sitting in traffic,

I always ask myself, you know, does Coke Zero have really zero sugar in it? So should I keep drinking it? If you could provide some scientific evidence at all, that would be cool. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Peter. So his at all, that would be cool. Thank you. Thank you, Peter. So he's demanding science gets on board with this. Ben, what we lack in science we make up for in great Wi-Fi connection

with access to Google. Yeah, so it says it contains a quick Google, Coke Zero contains, or Coke No Sugar, has no sugar sugar but it does have other stuff that's sweeter non-sugar sweeteners sweeteners which are in Coke Zero Diet Coke

Stevia and things like that yeah like is sweetened with asparame and it's always good when you can't pronounce what they're putting in there

potassium sometimes called or Ace K it's called Ace K sometimes yeah so that's always the thing like I have this conversation with my wife every now and again it's no sugar it's no sugar sometimes Yeah so that's always the thing Like I have this conversation

With my wife every now and again I'm like it's no sugar It's no sugar She's like but what is the thing That's Are they putting in there Well yeah And I'm not saying it's worse

Or it's better But you always don't know With those things Well what I'm saying is It worries me that you can't pronounce it And it's got three or four different names Yeah Different stuff is in there

But you don't know I mean you look at the ingredients Of anything Oh plow it back Does it Like don't We're all going to end At at ingredients of anything. Oh, plow it back. We're all going to end at some point. Yeah, it's up to you. If you like drinking Coke, drink Coke. I used to think I was bloody losing

weight drinking Diet Coke. Turns out you weren't. No. But it sounded good, didn't it? When they chucked the word diet in front of anything. Do you look at the star ratings on products? I actually do. I do, actually, when I'm buying stuff at the supermarket but then what's the lowest star you've taken yourself down to sometimes you'll get something

where it's like you know as a 0.5 or 1 you're like oh they they really didn't want to print this they really did but i don't know sometimes why obviously some companies are in on the star rating and then they have to have it across everything. And other times you were like, I don't know what the star rating is. This is. Yeah. I wouldn't like if I had a company, I wouldn't want to engage in the star rating process.

It's fine for all the bloody, Oh, look at the nuts. We're 4.55. They're loving it. They're loving it. You know, what about battler bloody cheesels over here?

Just want to get some cheesels into the kids. Yeah. You get, you get a real range of music bars too, don't you? your high you know your high fours and stuff like that and then sometimes you're like oh this one's a one but i don't even know what it represents really no i've just gone off this magical star rating system i can't i can't understand what's on the back of packets you know i don't know what those charts and tables mean no they bamboozle with stuff too i just put it in my mouth yeah Yeah, yeah. That's true.

Chuck it in there. But yeah, what were we saying? Oh, yeah, the Coke. So we've answered the question, haven't we? Yeah, we have. Coke Zero? It's got some other stuff on it. So I don't know what that other stuff is.

I couldn't even pronounce that other stuff. So I bet, there you go. But I'm not saying- When was the last time you had a Coke? You wouldn't be a Coke guy. No, I'm not a huge Coke. Oh, look, probably one. In your mouth. No, I'm not a huge Coke. In your mouth.

Oh, Jesus, come on. Probably a while ago, but I still say I would have had a lemonade. I would have had other fizzy drinks. Just out of time. I don't have time to have them. You do like a Coke, though, down again, don't you? I do sometimes. If there's an option, I'll plow back a Coke. I like Cokes straight out of the tap too you know how they go

at a restaurant or something yeah so but the kids they're just into water and i'm so it's not even me bragging they just love water yeah i've tried it i was like mate coke oh my kids would love it as a treat they love a treat like once a week they get a bit of raspberry lemonade or something at the bar you take them to the pub. You need to take them to the pub more. They love it. It's a treat. Bad parenting. That's what we're taking away from this. If you want to join the Burner Phone podcast,
