Ep 208: The Milky Element

from CheapShow Hosted by CheapShow Pod

Paul's got the horn! Again. At least this week it's literal! Recorded at our secret 3rd location, CheapShow dives into two big old chunky segments. In "Off Brand/Brand Off" Eli's reputation is on the line as he takes on a Kinder chocolate challenge. Will he taste the difference between a range of Kinder bars and their cheaper Aldi alternative? Paul presents another Gannon's Golden Games this week that features a board game a little bit more modern than most. Can Detective Silverman solve a murder? He'll need to scan the crime scene for evidence, talk to experts, interrogate suspects... and try not to get his penis sucked by Paul's vulgar cast of characters. That's CheapShow this week, then!

testing 123. Hello, welcome to G-Joke. Hello, I'm also on this show. Yeah, that sounds fine.

I'm on this show, Paul. Yeah. That's it. Well, we're good.

Well, sometimes you forget that I'm here. That's just be five seconds of silence, please. One, two, three, four, five. Hello, welcome to G-Joke, recording live from our secret location, our second base of operations.

Oh, no, third. I feel weird. Why? Because we're doing it here.

Yeah, we can't we can't tell you where looking directly at you. We're dead eyes. Look at you deep in the eyes. OK.

Yeah. Yeah. Paul, before we I love this, I can have some meaningful conversation before we start. Yeah.

I'm going to do this. OK. I will fill up to an angle. Paul.

Yeah. Who said that? Just want to say, yeah, I won't be saying pick a prick or prontae today. OK.

Sorry that I said, a prick or prick or prontae last week. And some people have picked up on the prick or prick or prontae trail. Stop saying it. This is like saying don't think of the black cat and everyone starts thinking, I've got the words, prick or prick or prontae huge.

Like, you know, life of Brian's lettering in my head anyway. We're saying it good because we also need to stress that it's not brick a brick a bronzer. No, it is pericoprico prontae. Either way, no one's saying it again.

It is dying on the vine this week. Well, Paul, hello. Welcome to the The Economy Company podcast. I'm Paul Gannon and I'm the Ice Oldman and we've got something for your ears.

I don't know what the way you'll do me that when you said that made it sound like I was about to get knowledge in my ear. You're always about to get knowledge in your ear when you listen to me. Yes. Ladies down with your knowledge in the ear.

Welcome to the cheap show. I hate you. And your fucking noodle. The fact of the cheap show you're going to have to learn the fucking except.

Chee Show. Chee Show. It's a place to feel like silver. And a go, no no no.

So, Paul, yes, Mr. Silverman. What have we got coming up on this week's edition of cheap show? On this edition of cheap show, we'll be having a bit of a off-brand off, off-brand brand off, a lot of bad off.

We'll be doing that. It's not making me laugh. Oh, sorry. I won't do that then.

Okay. I'll do me best. Off-brand brand off. Off-brand brand off.

Now, a little off-brand brand off. If you do that now, when we do the actual segment jingle, it won't have the impact. Right. Okay.

Fone off. I'll not blow my load now. Don't blow your round off. Is that one of my songs?

Don't blow your load, Mr. Silverman. How is he down here in our third location? No, we're not.

We're not. We do off-brand brand off. We're obviously going to get cool from the old man. From the old man.

And he might want to have something to say to a donut. Because he's told me, though, they used to run around back in the days. Brand off and donut. Donut.

Don't do it for Brand off. Well, he was on his roster because he used to have a roster of singers. He was a bit of a Stangarly brand off before he went into hell. He's done a bit of everything.

Have a murder. Extraworship. Like Mel. He's serving the time, Paul.

He's there. He's doing this time. Yeah. You know, what's terrorism?

He's a little bit of terrorism. He's a little bit of terrorism. He's done a bit of this. He's done it all.

Oh, I didn't know that. We don't want to get back to the house of Per Pickles, Pod. We should talk to Bill in debt. See what Bill has to say about Brand off.

I mean, I wonder if they parted on bad terms, obviously. I think everyone part on bad terms of brand offs too. We've been parted on many bad terms. We can't get rid of him.

We can't. We can't get rid of fucking Bill Downer either. He's living in the imaginary pod space. I like it because he's resident in the pod space.

He's my new favourite character. No shit. I like singing. Right.

So we're doing that. And then also we are doing a Ganons Golden Games. It's interesting because this wasn't necessarily the class of the Golden Games. There's a reason in you.

Oh, Golden. I didn't realise that was like capital gold. I never just thought that's well. That's what I'm saying now.

It's golden, which is good. That's true. Yeah. But it's called Ganons Classic Golden Games.

Yeah. Or Ganons Classic Games. It needs to be a G word, though. It's a really make their translation.

A G word that means classic. Nostalgic. Or nostalgic. Yeah.

Good old. I know. Good old. Just nostalgic.

Just historic. These words. No. No.

That's never stopped me before. That is 20% of our podcast. Maybe more. Dynamus.

No. It needs a good old. Good old. Good old.

You're good at this. Ganons Golden Games. Oh, mate. That is.

That I'm going to look forward to saying that repetitively. That's for sure. But not this week because this game's new. So this game a few years ago.

It's just a Ganons Golden Games. It's just a Ganons game. Really. But it's still a charity shop buy.

OK. But what interesting is that you can still get this game online or in shops for about 30 quid. I got it though. The sixth pound of the charity shop.

Nice. And it's criminal because it's beautiful. I'm going to tell everybody about the escape room game you found. Yes.

That was a bit of a bargain. Yeah. I want to hear about that. Well, that could be something we do as a visual thing.

I don't know because it's a lot of stuff. Let's talk about saving. Let's see about the savings. All right.

I got it for about what? Two pound. And then we looked online and how much did you say it was? Yeah, I know.

And it's a good people. It was the guy in the shop. Oh, that's right. And then you said, OK, I'm going to hold you to your word.

That's a good thing. He's rough ladies and enemies. I just mean, I just mean, Shari Shop Game Boy. It doesn't take any shit.

You like that guy? You like that guy? I'll salvage answers. Oh, I can go low within 200, really.

It's a bit broken. You said to quit. That's it. That was pretty much it.

The thing is, I went into the sword and I saw underneath like a box of magazines and things that box. And I was like, what's this thing? It was a jigsaw initially. Yes.

It looks like a bit of a jigsaw. When you see the box, it looks like a generic jigsaw box, but inside it has three escape room games. And they're popular at the moment. Aren't they for stagn nights and birthday parties?

People go to room and they just sold clues to escape. It's just a bunch of cards. They have props that actually open the door. Yeah, and keys and physical things to play with.

So this replaces all of that with cards. Like an RPG escape room. Yeah, yeah. So there's three different types of different difficulties.

A haunt house and a sunken ship and a lost relic Aztec temple or something. OK. Like a crystal maze. Yeah, it's a bit like a crystal maze.

So, yeah, it's nice. So, yeah, two pounds. I'll get to the thing and I'll end. And he goes, oh, we're not taking card payments because the internet's down.

So can you get cash? So, all right then. So I said, two pounds, right? Yeah, two pounds.

So I went to the cash and next door, got a tenner up, came back. And he just held his phone in front of my face and came in the room. And I was like, focusing it was like Amazon. And I was like, 30 quid.

And I was like, and I said, yeah, but you said two. So, you know, I was just, he was a good bargain. And I was like, yeah, you know, you had a little bit of cream. Yeah, I played a little leakage.

I stitched you up like a kickback. Oh, my eyes weeping. I went on to him. I went on to him.

Did you leave a little snail trail in your pants? A little bit of like, we've been made to see. We've been made to see. It was slightly sticky.

We are we've been made to us. There's a new song. Drip. Oh, we are we've been made to see.

That's an inspiration. It's not working. It's not working. You wouldn't score.

You wouldn't just start your own song with your band name, though. Would you? Your first line. You're doing a live gig.

You go, we are. Yeah, but you wouldn't. Hello, Cleveland. You wouldn't put it into the actual narrative of the lyrics.

What about, hey, hey, we're the monkeys. That's not the first line. What's about that sport? That might be.

It is the first line. Hey, hey, we're the monkeys. Here they come. Let's walk down the street.

It's about them. I get the funniest looks from everyone we meet. Hey, we've been made to us. Sweet drip on your forehead.

I've got a splogee weeper. We're just trying to lay out trails. Some of them thicker than most. I've got gluey pre-cam.

That is my boat. There you go. That's my best work. Right, before we get into the show, we had a few things in the payo box.

Thank you. Payo. The payo box. Slippin' the tongue.

He's bribing you. But I'll hand it on. No, to everyone who sent stuff in, thank you very much. We'll get to it in time as we spread out the content.

But one thing came to staff in the payo box. Some smashing stuff. Some odd stuff. Some stuff that I think really though, I don't look after this in my house until you get to people.

I just get the sauce and the noodles. There's never a lack of sauce and noodles. You got a little box of sauce and noodles recently, didn't you? I certainly did.

I can't remember that box right now, but thank you to that person. We will figure it out for the next time. But this came in a box and I have to show you it. So let me get it up now.

Yes, the payo box. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. Not Spoflating towel.

I'll be the judge. Oh, yeah, I remember these. You saw on Twitter, did you? Because I think it was on Twitter.

What are we going to do with these? I like it. You're having your one. Okay, so let's tell everyone what it is.

Tell everyone what it is. Hello. Hello. They are.

Sorry. Oh, no, don't start role playing with their dollies. They are. They are.

Yeah. So plush plushy. I guess plush like, but they're just kind of soft dolls. It's the word I'm looking for.

They are dolls. Nice dollies. All representing my good self and your good self, Paul Ganon. Yes.

And your one has your gray boiler suit. Goes past his boiler suit. I'm in Little Ghost Bosses. I'm dressed as I've got a vest.

You're a red vest. Oh, message for me, isn't it? The red vest. But also Sansa's elf trousers and shoes.

I weirdly think what. And actually, it looks a bit like I'm. But Ganon's been made from scratch. Yeah, look at that.

Although I've got a very beaky nose and big eyes. Big googly eyes, both of them. We've got googly eyes. I'm well into that.

All right, let's just read the letter that I come. Can I keep me? Yes, you can keep you. I have me.

All right. We picked on our website. He's a lot like I'm probably on Instagram and probably onto it. So follow us on those platforms.

Right? Clutching them. Yes. So here's the letter.

Right? Dear Paul and Eli, I hope you'll excuse the hastily scrawn letter. We will. I like to make terrible dolls from time to time.

I was inspired to create a little Paul and Eli after a mammoth listening to the show. You've seen them onto it, but I thought I would send them in. Just a very small token of appreciation for all your entertainment that you have given me. Anyway, I hope that you like these and keep doing what you do best.

All the best. James, PS. Spaff. James.

Yes, James. Thank you very much, James. Thank you very, very much. Thank you very much for our lovely dollies.

Thank you very much. Thank you very, very much for our Spaff. Phil Brawley. Thank you very, very much.

I've been filled to filling it up. Wow, imagine how much Spaff you could get in an upturned Brawley. And then the horse or an elephant. And I've got into the street and do a complete jean-kelling and spray.

Everyone in my chisam. Do you think it would go all rubbery first anyway? Do you think it would go all kind of thick? Have you ever looked at your camera about three minutes up there?

No. It goes, it's a biological effect. Evolutionary effect. So what?

Once it's crossed. No. It goes hard so it can get right in the egg and it's not going to fall out. It goes rubbery.

Yeah, but usually it just goes dry on my thigh. But there will be a rubbery. Oh, on the shelf. Dry on my thigh.

That could be your own elf on the shelf. Yeah. That little dolly could be your own elf on the shelf. You can put him somewhere.

Come on, my bum. What are you doing? You have a little pothism. I don't like them.

Don't hold me. And then say jism. Don't hold my dolly. I'm holding me in my right hand and you in my left hand.

The dolly's not the norm, everybody. That would work. Wait, wait, wait. I'm putting them.

Should we have them watch us? They can watch us. Like elf on the shelf so they can be. They don't do sex movements.

Hey, to tell. That doesn't fit. That's a man's toe job. So, oh no, because I do it.

It's a bit 69. It's no way you can. Oh, yeah. You can.

Don't do my voice. I think they are a lot of fun. They're getting fucking cool. Are you in my face?

Oh, God. Oh, oh, oh. And they all live happily ever after. Both of us.

Thank you once again, James, for those. Right. What a lovely spirit to be getting to the episode. Let's crack on while the energy is high.

Hi. You can't press the button. No. I'm going to check the fucking well guy.

I can edit it. It's like an endless. Oh, what's that? Press.

Paul? Yes, sir. Now it's time. It is for the segment of cheap show.

The segment we like to call. I do. Oh, I'm going to get some India. Oh, I'm going to get some in.

Oh, do you want to get some? Oh, no, India. It's coming up. It's coming up.

No, Paul, please stop. It's coming up. It's brand up. Yeah.

No. No, that wasn't working for me. It's trying to make it sexy. It's not sexy.

I shouldn't have done it. I did it a bit languidly. They did it a bit sexy. All right.

So full intensity. Yeah. Off brand brand off. This is our signature segment.

Hey, what? I found the fucking trunk. No, no, the trunk is not going to work. Off brand brand off.

Right, right. Man, man, Man, Brian. not. Oh, fan.

Man, oh, fan off. UnexplEX, Club on behalf of that event. Yes Ladies and gentlemen, it is offered brand off the segment of the show, where I, Eli Silverman so dirty on that trumpet. No, that's one of those crying.

QHe is an. Ah, it's a ferrisome and trumpet. Oh, whether or not. I was going to tell you you he didn't tell me I was talking about my lips on a plane as well?

Yeah, it was it's a traditional thing. They're doing a high ground. Right well I've just put my lips on it so he lives on some old askrees there mate You know actually what it is Paul. It's copper.

It's that sort of copper. Yeah, it's the copper bit Yeah, copper is sort of a little very cold as well now And like I feel like I've sucked things into my mouth from that show but I shouldn't have a brand of where I like silverman Do a blind taste test comparing poor. Yes a branded item Yes, an item everyone knows and loves the brand they love yeah with its cheap knockoff often from an off-off supermarket such as Aldi little they're not a knockoff supermarket pound land. You know Well, I'm not knockoff.

They're not knockoff super much. No, they their main thing is doing not copy Not copies. Yeah, they are brand copy they copy the right I'm thinking words but the point is that you're cunt right so moving on I'm great Do you know what ladies and gentlemen I've run round off of the pot the show where I just explained it I explained it to everyone No, I'm explaining it has been explained I pull gun and challenge Eli okay to use this Taste buds to discover which of the foods I give him are branded or off brand interpretations of that food stuff And there's a little bit of a competition in it for me a little bit of a challenge Paul because I try to see if I can actually taste With my mouth just with my mouth. Yeah and nose and my fingers a bit as well don't taste with your fingers and nose I can ascertain texture and shape.

Oh, I'm not a bearing there. Oh, yeah, there are but very often the texture has a bearing They're very different sensors. Yes. I'm not tasting with my fingers.

I'm not some kind of fucking alien Well aliens wouldn't they yeah, they might do maybe touching the food and go all source That's a bit salty and they put it down your pants go. Oh fishy fishy. She's he's what With their tentacle hands right yeah good, okay I Yeah using his tenderly fingers to taste the gooch there's a challenge in this in that I try to tell which is which yes and Also on the series I pour we try and see if it's worth buying the knockoff. Yeah because you are safe pennies That's for sure you're gonna put safe pennies on the knockoff But will the flavor and experience of the original product be so diminished that it's not even worth saving the money Exactly exactly and it's so different and sometimes it is for example.

Say's basic mayonnaise. Yeah, which is worth that is not worth You know that while you know there's one that you really likes you thought our helmets This is the this is the one that sticks in my mind the same I thought that the same sprees own brand was the helmets I love to have a little bit of a Little jukes mayonnaise no apparently's big in the states jukes is a brand. Yeah, and they make a giant I've never made a catch up as well. Well, Harry their stand out is the American do you like spending an order about some money on postage and packaging send us dukes stuff sauce mayo mayo today's I'll send it to us.

It's another bespoke item. Where would we be for content without our listenership? Very good question I'm gonna take my jumper off the warm in the outside It's a big house and you take it off. I read the letter out.

So this comes from Kathy. Thank you Kathy Hi Paul and Eli, please find and close some kind of chocolate and all the knockoffs for a drop brand off Oh, you have a clue the receipts as you can compare the prices to cheers. Okay. Can I get some opening thoughts on this Paul?

Yes, kinder. It's considered cheap chocolate is it? No, it's not is it it's nice isn't it's very sugary I'm just trying to get my mouth in order here. Yeah, very milky chocolatey.

It's very milky almost white chocolate sometimes It tastes a bit like white chocolate doesn't it's got a nice it's smooth. Yes the Other kinder is I think I might be working on amplitude the balance and amplitude in a big way this week I think can't do a flavor of chocolate and it's kind of like cocoa and white chocolate is not very thin It's a fondant stuff you mean well I think think that came to the UK first and foremost is the kinder egg thing eggs where you got a little chocolate egg with a little plastic toy Right, and that's how we know the chocolate and after that they've added more to the kinder brand and also good for smelling drugs in your For joining or bumble. Well, they've got I mean a bum. I have a how I know that Focus you could put you could put the eggs up the bum But in depending on the slackness of your bum.

Oh, it might sort of crush the egg a bit and you wouldn't want the drugs coming out You're in your bubble. No, I'm sure mine will come out like a like an egg from a snake's mouth Where have you seen a snake what's the channel thing last night where egg was a snake spider TV's Trying to get it was too big so it kind of would go take the egg out because they can just look at your Yeah, but it already done that yeah, I think it kind of ate it sucked out the thing and then spat out the shell So when I said my bum would be slack it'd be a slack as a snake digesting an egg and then regurgitating said shell and mucus out of its mouth I can't be envisioned that I'm glad you can because it was a long way to say I've got a baggy arsehole Now Paul Paul. Yeah, I'm gonna have the mention the it's the regurg to mention that the the kinder egg toys are not as good as they Used to be are they do you think that's true? I was gonna say used to be no use to get little almost puzzles that you had to construct yourself and these days they're almost all Always in one piece because of health and safety and all that stuff which I'm not going to complain about start thing It's just like with us being more aware of small children and putting things in their mouths They quite rightly said these toys shouldn't have four parts because kids can show And so Adam was all kinder egg toys tend to be pre-built and sometimes even just little mini statues or plastic figures Yes, there's no intricate and they had some beautiful intricate ones I told you don't say about my favorite one go on was a little island with a palm tree on on wheels And as you pushed it along a little go for his head popped up Oh, yeah, I love that one I think the last thing I got a kinder egg which he is going to do is a little magic trick a little magic draw That was good.

You know you don't put thing in the drawing I like little diorama ones that actually move It's some facts about kinder kinder chocolate Italian kinder chocolate or I thought it was German well No, it's Italian, but it's still German for kinder. So a German for children. Yeah, they've used a German work for their brand It's a confectionery product brand line produced by an Italian confectionery multinational company Ferrero who do the Rocher They're a show for a show phone with this Ferrero Rocher. You are really splitting is now But these days it be with this Ferrero Rocher.

You haven't really gone to much of it at all. You are the ambassador What's wrong? I'm blessed you put this shit for me. I will not I will not be making guns for this country First shall I actually get these chocolates from now?

I'll be you can't have the ambassador. I'll be this is so bad. It was created by Michelle Ferrero Kinda was originally developed in Albert Italy 1968 was first to use the Germans and Italian markets in 68 being sold to other countries in Europe Currently kinder includes 22 product variations sold in 125 countries. Well, they originally were not the eggs We're not the original thing.

No, it's just what they've got big in Britain doing. I guess I guess it doesn't really say what the order of Products where it's got a list of all their products like kinder Maxi King. Yeah, we sound like an 80 soul band Well, it's not like a 10 pond, doesn't it mean? Oh, also that kinder regal.

They have country crisp. They have yogurt slices, but the one good slices Yeah, apparently but the one that's what happens or is kind of surprise to hollow milk chocolate egg yogurt slices, man Yeah, that's like my laundry basket on Wednesday. You're good slices You have to crack it. Yeah, yeah, anyway So they also have a kinder joy which is similar to a kinder egg and that come the little plastic egg But in this case one half of it is like a chocolate, you know, it's like a I know I've seen a scoop with a little thing.

You never see chocolates anymore. Did you don't want to go through wonder? I've seen them in power. They're not really gold-minded.

They are. They are no more. No, I think they still make chocolate Chocolate what's it called? Chippendip, Chippendip.

Chippendip. Yeah, well chickens make those. They're little bread biscuits. Yeah, no They're chocolate chocolate.

I mean, chock and dip. Chock and dip. Chippendip. Chock and dip.

Chock and dip. Chock and dip. Chock and dip. Chock and dip.

Chock and dip. Chock and spock. No, I don't say chodney because it gets me going. You say chodney.

I say chodney. Chodney. Chodney. Chodney.

Chodney. There we go. Kinder Surprise Kinder Joy. They also happy hippos.

You like happy hippos. I haven't seen those. Not a while though, but they do remember the little kind of way for hippo. They're like humpt.

No, it's shaped like an actual hippo. Yeah, a little way for hippo. And then finally sorry. Kinder Bueno, which is a chocolate wafer bar.

Haven't got cream filling in release in the 1990s. Nice, fevery light hazing up fondant. They were marketed for the first Kinder Chocolate for adults. See, that was where they got to be.

I was going to mention other brands of chocolate will actually have different, sort of different darknesses of chocolate. They'll say this is a 70% cocoa one or something. But Kinder seems to have just gone for totally different products. Well, it's like they take the basic formula of their chocolate and white chocolate mix and then just gone that's an egg.

What shape can I add? Yeah, that's an bar. That's what I mean. And it's worth it.

Obviously. They're one of the biggest back in prayer to confectionery going, you know, well, they do very well from something. I don't know if it's true today, but they couldn't sell Kinder Eggs in America because the quality of that you can't have toy enough food for the same thing. Now that's what brings me on to another point, Paul.

Do they have do they do tie ins where they, you know, they buy the rights to the Smurfs, for example, you know, Marvel characters. They do that because they're Kinder Eggs have always have Marvel characters and things from Disney characters. I know, Moomins. They have like licensed characters now, don't they?

Because they have talking of Moomins. Yeah, there's a sign near where I live, right? And it's meant to be like a no dog sign. Yeah, the dog's head looks like a Moomins head.

So it looks like a Moomin dog. No, no, no Moomin dogs. No mogs. No dogmines.

I'm glad you found that funny because I thought it was time for the minute you brought it in. Dogmines. So today we are looking at our show picture of that to anyone who wants to know. No one wants to see it.

I see no say that. Now any closure. You do want to see it. It does look well like a Moomins head.

So today we are looking at some kind of products. Can I see them? Hang on. We have three kind of products and three knockoffs.

So we got two kind of products and two knockoffs. So we are going to be working with today. Kinda Bueno with a classic Milken hazelnut flavoured kind of wafer chocolate bar. Yeah, milk chocolate coming wafer was smooth.

Milky hazelnut filling. Did you say the Bueno was the first adult or inside of the kind of products released in 1999? Well, that's right. And we've got these kind of these kind of chocolate, which are five individually wrapped chocolate bars, five milk chocolate with a milky filling.

And they're more like... I don't think I've ever had those. No, but it's the same kind of flavoring. Again, just more, in this case, I guess, intense.

It's just the chocolate is no wafer involved. I see. It's no like a kind of wafer without the wafer. Yeah.

And so obviously to go against the kind of Bueno, we have this by a company called Dairy Finees Abort from Aldi. Spyroles hazelnuts. And as you can see on the cover, they are designed very similarly. They look very, very similar and they've also sort of gone for the same design with the sort of red bordering.

We see this a lot though, don't we? When we do. They're all deal-dee-dee-dals. They knock off supermarkets.

Well, it's interesting though, because buying a large quality of what they make isn't bad or off. It's just what they've done is they've traded on your ability to recognise brands by their colour and fonts and things like that. So you just grab it. So they're just sort of like, yeah, you like this type of thing.

This is a bit cheaper. Yeah, I just don't. For me, that doesn't appeal. It doesn't make me want to buy something.

No, but I have had lots and lots of Aldi chocolates that I have absolutely. They're a version of a Nestle crunch bar. The vice crispy bits in. It's much better than the Nestle crunch bar.

Is it really? Yes. Considerably. And it's 30p compared to £1.

I did tell you what I did like. I was mad for that. I liked that. I liked their cheese.

The Morrison's cheese things, didn't I? Yes. Yeah. And then they had their own hool hooks, which tasted exactly like Morrison's.

Who knows? No, Aldi. Sorry. Okay.

And what's the analog for the kind of chocolate today is, again, by Dairy Fine. Okay. So they're called Mini Delights Milk Chocolate 11 Snack Sticks. Now interesting, it just says milk chocolate sticks with milky filling.

But I don't know. Just in the eye, I don't think these are going to taste anything like the kind of chocolate. Why? Well, it looks almost exactly the same.

It's just chocolate with a filling. Yeah. Milk chocolate with a filling. It's only hot because they've got the say...

The packaging is like blue. It looks more like Oreo. It's more different than packaging, definitely. Whereas, you know, kind of the familiar white and orange kind of thing.

The spirals are hazelnut spirals have gone much further to try and ape the brano packaging than the delights have gone to the kind of chocolate packaging. Yeah. So here we go, boys and girls. Just one more thought, though.

Why do you have to have thoughts? One more thought. You know what they used to call me when I was knocking around the 60s in clubs. So much biscuit, not an off cream, because I was unable to ejaculate.

That doesn't even mean anything. It does. You know, you've heard of my dry... Too much biscuit, not an off cream.

Too much biscuit, not an off cream. Not an off cream. Not an off cream. Right, I'm ready.

We are ready to go with the off-brand brand. Now make sure you break them up because I might be picking up some of the textures in the shape. I think we're going to be right with the spirals versus the brano, because I think they look similar enough that just lumpy. Yeah.

But I'll do my best to do this thing. It's definitely a distinct difference in the shape. Again, there's more difference between the kind of chocolate and it's knock off than there is between the brano and the knock off. So I'm going to ask you now to put on your blindfold, which today is a charming...

Is it Gengam style? Gengam style. Buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh. Oh, it's a werewolf.

Right. Now you're going to have a help for your work, chef. I can't see anything, so we're going to have to help with the mic. You're all right as you stand right now, so don't stress it.

not gonna do anything weird this week, I can't be asked. All I need to do is just spend the minute or two getting everything out and breaking up, so it's in quite a while. I'm ready, I'm sitting here, I'm ready, Paul. How's it going?

It's going fine, I'm just making sure I do this in the right order, but I'm opening everything up first, so you don't know what order I'm ordering, I'm opening things up. Well, I'm not thinking about it, I'm thinking about nothing. I'm thinking about it. I can hear you, I can hear you opening something now.

You can maybe think about it, and now I'm thinking what is that that you're opening? What order are you gonna go with this? I'm not gonna tell you how much the time it is. I'm not gonna tell you that.

Either the Breono or the spiral first, and then the spiral or the Breno second, then you can make a guess about which one you think is what. Okay, so we'll do them in a separate thing, okay. Right, we can go on that. Here we go, Mr.

Silverman, are you ready? We're gonna start with the Wenno or spiral. I'm just gonna put it in my mouth, I'm not trying to feel it up. Okay?

All right. Here we go, let me just snap out. Just put it on the palm of my hand, I'm just gonna slurp it up. Chocolate has been offered to Silverman.

This is the first item, this is either a Breno or spiral. What are you getting? Very sweet. Now, are you familiar with Wenno?

Do you know the Breno flavor? You can spot it with a tongue in a mile. I don't think that is the burner. Okay, why?

It's got slight staleness to it. Oh really? In what in terms of the wafer part? The wafer part.

It's not crisp, it's a little bit soft, it's a little soft and a little bit cardboardy. Okay, very sweet. Hard for me to say though. All right, we're gonna go into the second one just in case just before you make any, I don't wanna make a guess now.

All right, here we go. I wanna compare them. Put your left hand out, here we go. Straight in, he's crunching it, he's chewing it.

And now he has to evaluate based on what he's tasted in his mouth. So what you're thinking now, I both of the first item. I can taste the hazelnut in that one. Oh okay, I think both meant to have hazelnut in them.

Yes, much more vanillay and less chocolatey. Okay. And there's more going on flavour wise. What's the wafer?

The wafer, crisper, lighter, the whole thing is more airy, more crunch on it. I prefer the second one. Okay, well, almost less chocolatey though. And more other sort of flavours going on there.

But we, I mean, I don't wanna try and fool you anymore. In my opinion, kin has always been less. Kind of about the chocolate and more about the overall mouth feel of the... I mean the amplitude in that second piece is by miles, much greater and much more enjoyable.

None of that staleness. And some real airiness going on there. Okay, so by that logic, then do I make a guess on this? Number two was the guindah, and number one was what they called ICU spirals.
