From the ZM podcast network, it's Fletch, Fawn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to a little bit of pod. I took my daughter, Indy, and her best friend, Layla, to Costco at the weekend. They were all about going to Costco. Oh, because I've let my membership lapse. So have I. Dude, on a, if you'll excuse my French, le froccon Saturday afternoon. Yeah.

It was chaos. Why did you go on a Saturday? if you'll excuse my French, le froccon Saturday afternoon. Yeah. It was chaos. Oh, why did you go on a sat day? I love her. Yeah. She said she wanted to, I was like, my love is kid. The crap our parents did for us out of love, eh? Yeah. And I tried so hard not to make them love me.

I was a brat. So I was led to believe we were going there to buy frozen cookie dough. Yum. Yum. I know, cause American supermarkets, they've got a whole section in the frozen, in the chilled aisle. to believe we were going there to buy frozen cookie dough. Yum. Yum. I know, because American supermarkets, they've got a whole section in the frozen, in the chilled aisle.

You're not supposed to eat it raw. No, you're not. They say you're not, because of Salmonella dub or something in there. Salmonella dub. Yeah. That's what the kids are like, what's it called when you eat it?

And they're like, it's Salmonella. Yeah. But it never happens. It never happens. They just protected it. They just protected their own necks. Yeah, it's like asbestos. Ooh, it's in the ceiling.

No, no, no, no, that one's definitely... No, it doesn't. Punch the ceiling and shower in his dust. All the mines. Ooh, no. Oh, yeah. Boo. I think the kids need more underground coal mining, not less.

Lick the leaves paint. People have been lining up crazy for Costco openings for the butter, the cheap butter. Yeah, I saw that. Which is like $9 something. Yeah. Yeah It's cheap. I know I know Do you know what they really wanted to go there for what it's this apparently online thing You go around every single one of the testing stations the samples Which are only on the weekend?

I believe only on the weekend never been on a weekend because I'm not an insane person. I know, I apparently am. I've asked them three times. Yeah, oh my God, and it's huge in there. And they're quite tall children. It's one of New Zealand's biggest suburbs, Costco. It is. It's got its own postcode.

Yeah, it does. It really needs it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 5050. So, and they went around all the samples. What did they sample? Vegemite scrolls. I'm gonna say, the samples weren't mind blowing sample? Vegemite scrolls. Yeah. I'm going to say like the samples weren't mind blowing.

Yeah. One sample one was mandarins. We all know what mandarins taste like. You either buy mandarins or you're not. I love when I go to the supermarket and they're sampling things that we all know.

Like apples. You're like oh fuck I've had an apple before. I don't know what an apple tastes like. And that apple I'm sampling is not the apple I'll be eating either because it's not a controlled food. Yeah.

My apple might be shit. And I can tell what the mandarin's going to taste like by feeling it, by looking at it. If it's a tight mandarin, I'm going to assume these seeds. Yep. If it's a loose mandarin, I'm going to say seedless. I know exactly what I'm in for. Yeah.

And this woman's taking it. And we were lined up. And I was like, what's the hold up? They put the slowest mandarin peeler on the mandarins. Oh, no. But theyup? They put the slowest Mandarin peeler on the mandarins. Oh no, but they probably gotta get- How is she just fingering with your mandarins? They've pretty got to get her- She's wearing gloves.

Remove the pith. Cause you wouldn't sample with a pith. Remove your own pith. I'd say if you're anti-pith, remove your own pith. If you're anti-pith, you can pith on it. What else did they sample? These Korean snacks and it did say that they were spicy on them, but both of them had their minds blown

how spicy these chips were. Oh really? Right. But they weren't that nice. What else did we have? So we had some beef jerky. Yum. Yum. And we found the frozen cookie dough.

So we've got four luncheon sized logs of frozen cookie dough. And they were like, can we try it? Raw, Dad. I said, I'm cool, Dad. Now here's the deal. If you get the violent shits. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's on you.

I'm not taking any blame. You've been spelled out that this is a risk and life's full of risks, calculated or otherwise. This one's calculated, it's not likely to happen but it's a possibility, are you willing to roll that dice? And they both said yes, and boy, did they shit themselves. They were literally vomiting every night.

They were, the cookie dough is so sweet. It was ridiculous. It's the best thing about making cookies is the mixing phase. Oh my god, half the batch gets baked. Yeah, I know. Oh my god, cookie dough, yes please.
