The episode wraps with a snack tasting session featuring Trader Joe's chili-lime rolled corn tortilla chips, Whole Foods' legendary $27 Berry Chantilly Cake, Buc-ee's Sizzling Bold & Spicy Crackers (a divided house), lemon wafer straw cookies, and Swedish-style marshmallow gummies from a local Columbus brand.
