The ZM Podcast Network. Fleshwood and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Well, a while ago now, we were in Queenstown. We were. And Wanaka broadcasting the show from Kodrona. Then you had a couple of sick days.

Yeah. But in that time, in Shannon's top drawer, there are all kinds of lollies. Really? I love lollies. I know. You've, there are all kinds of lollies. Really? I love lollies. I know. You've missed out on all kinds of lollies. For God's sake.

Because when we were in Queenstown, Shannon, you went to the Remarkable Sweet Shop. Oh, amazing. Which I've still got a bit of the fudge at home. It's moved. It's moved. Yeah, it's a couple of doors up. And they've also got one in Arrowtown. I didn't know.

And at the airport. Yeah. So we stopped at the airport. You guys honed through security. We could get our free food in the lounge. Well, now that I can buzz Carwen in, we took our time through the airport. Yeah, you're not waiting around like some poor flies

outside waiting for us to let you in. Although I will say that Shannon is a Nippo elite. She's a Nippo elite. Yeah, I'll take it. She's taking a free ride. The bubbles taste the same. Whoa, actually, suck it. That's a free ride. The bubbles taste the same. Whoa, actually, suck it. That's a good quote.

The bubbles taste the same. Yeah, that's beautiful. So we stopped in at the Remarkable Sweet Shop, and I saw they said, like, New Zealand's most sour lollies. And I was like, yum, I love a sour lolly. Expecting, like, a Warhead or, like, a Sour Patch Kids. TNT. Yeah, like an enjoyable sour lolly.

I love a Sour Patch or a Sour Worm. The perfect amount of TNT. Yeah, like an enjoyable sour lolly. I love a sour patch or a sour worm. The perfect amount of sourness. Yeah, love it. The sour worm's not like, I wouldn't tout that as a lovely, like really sour lolly though. It's just a little. I like the pink TNTs. You're talking here to a couple of kids that grew up before regulations.

Yeah. Do you remember Blueys? Car Blueys. Car Blueys. Yes. They were banned so quick. Your tongue went so blue it didn't unblue for like four weeks. And then you always had like holes in your tongue from when it would like burn you. It was a hard candy

outside, eh? But once you got through it, the inside was liquidy. Yeah. And it was just pure blue. You could tell the minute you did it, it was goo in your mouth. Yeah. And then... It was like one of those... I said it,

goo in your mouth. It was like one of those 90s tampon ads where your teeth would go blue and you'd break a tooth in half and it wouldn't be... I love the 90s where they weren't afraid

to put a tooth in a tampon ad. Did you not... What? What? I have no idea what we're talking about because you're so young, Carwin. What a tampon.

They used to have tampon ads and they'd put it into a blue liquid. Oh yeah. Do you remember those? We can't see blood. I was like what do the teeth have to do with this? Well that was, they wanted everybody to be included in the people with the teeth in their vaginas. We could buy a one cagey tub of kablooies. Oh my god salad gum balls. I don't think they're going to be

their OG recipe. No definitely not. They'll be out there. They'll be blue though. They'll still be blue. But they were wild. Now, you've got a couple of lollies left over because you have eaten all the other lollies but these ones you haven't

because they're too sour for you. I licked it to vibe check. I think we call that a vibe lick. A vibe lick and cried. Oh, good lord. No word of a lie. Cried. Now, these are touted

as New Zealand's sourest lollies. That's what the sign said, but, you know, it made me cry. Carwin has tried one as well. Yeah, I held it in for a lot longer than Shannon did. Damn it, I've only got a little bit of water left. Oh, I won't give you my sick water. I don't know.

To me, it was like, it was bad, but it wasn't the sour that was bad. It was like the taste of the sour. Okay. Warning, extremely sour. Ingredients. Sugar. Yum. Okay. Warning, extremely sour. Ingredients. Sugar. Yum. Okay, good.

Yum. Glucose. Yum. Yum. Citric acid. Yum. Not yum. Malic acid.

Lots of acids. I think that's the one that like really messes with your stomach if you have too much. Malic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid found in certain fruits and wines. Wines. I like wines. Wines. I did get it from Queenstown, darling. Darling.

It helps to clear away dead skin cells when applied to the skin. Is that why my tongue has been a bit numb for the past week? And its soundness also helps to make

more saliva in people with dry mouth. Wow. Okay. Should we do a 3, 2, 1 then balls in the mouth? Yeah. And I think you have to

commit mouth shut. Yeah. Is it hard? So we're sucking. Are we having the competition who can one, then balls in the mouth? Yeah. And I think you have to commit mouth shut. Yeah. Is it hard? So we're sucking. Are we having the competition who can keep it in their mouth the longest? Yeah. Oh, you're waiting because you've got a bloody leathery old mouth. I also am already getting the salivation run.

I know, same. And I'm just thinking about this hour. Okay, ready? I'll count you down. Three, two, one. Oh, they did it. Oh, far out. Yeah. Go on. Wow. Oh, far out. Yeah.

Wow. Oh, my God. No, no, no, no, no. Fishes out. I knew he'd be out. He's such a pussy about putting balls in his mouth. Oh, my God. Have you got a swallow?

Oh, that's disgusting. Fuck. Oh, my God. It's not even a nice sour. It's not a sweet sour. It's bitter. Very bitter. It's like it's fizzing. It's not even a nice sour. It's not a sweet sour. It's bitter. Very bitter. It's like it's fizzing.

It's making me salivate. I was like, I want to win this. It got in my nose. It got in when you vomit and it gets out in the back of your nose. It's sitting in there, too. That's the malic acid. I'm glad I tapped out. Even though I tapped out.

It hurts. It's still there. Oh, my God. Yuck. I've shoved it to the side. Okay, this is... I don't have it sitting on the tongue. You can't have it sitting on the tongue.

Oh, you're cheating. Now, I've broken through the layer. Oh, yeah. I didn't... There is some flavor there. Yeah, it's meant to be apple. Oh, yeah. I've burnt off the...

I've burnt off the layer. I've burnt off the sourness, too. And I've burnt off the first layer of my mouth. Well, thanks for getting my six dollars worth. Okay, it's good now. Six dollars. I had one look and I was out. Do you have my mouth well thanks for getting my six dollars worth six dollars I had one when I was out do you have any

other nice ones left oh my god I think it was rolled in a sort of a crystallized malic acid

and now it's good now I'm through it wait is it good now it's actually a really yummy apple lolly oh damn it so I should have

just washed off the can you bite into yours Fletch? No, it's in... Oh, boy. Is it in your milky cereal? No, it's just nice now. It's a nice boiled sweet. Oh, right.

So it's just the outer layer. Wow, that really kicked my tits, though. That was really... Like, can you see why, as someone who didn't grow up on your boom shakalakas or whatever, it made me cry? Boom shakalakas.

They brought out these things called short circuits. They were the original and they're what TNTs are now. But then all the kids were just eating jars of them being like, we're not pussies and they were like, we'll show you and they brought out those extreme short circuits and they were bigger

and I remember almost crying at school because we did the same thing. Everyone put it in their mouth at the same time. I can't wait to check in on your tongues tomorrow though I can always feel the roof in my mouth yeah

burnt off it's quite rough there's a warning on the packet saying excessive consumption will irritate your stomach I respect my body too much to have that in my mouth for too long

yeah totally that's why you've never heard that sentence before
