We’re back with this month’s Patreon-exclusive bonus episode, and if any of you are starting to get that Halloween itch, this one will be right up your alley. It’s time for our 2024 Halloween Junk Food Preview Show!

We do one of these every year, because nothing predicts the quality of an upcoming Halloween season quite like its exclusive crop of candy and snacks. It’s a little on the early side to say for sure, but judging by what we’ve seen so far, it looks like we’re in for a good one!

We’ll be looking at a bunch of upcoming spooky treats during this episode, including:

1. Monsters’ Frightful Friends Cereal!2. Wednesday Addams Cereal!3. Mtn Dew VooDew VI!4. Reese’s Werewolf Tracks & Ghost Toast Kit Kats!5. Welch’s Monster Splash Juicefuls!

Which one are you most excited to try? We hope the new bonus show helps get you into Halloween mode, which is definitely one way to forget about the 100 degree temps presently ruining our lives.

Thanks so much for your continued support of The Purple Stuff Pod! Next on deck for us is another big show, so you’ll be hearing from us again soon enough!

I'm excited for the Ghost Toast Kit Kats. Hopefully they're able to pull off the taste of cinnamon Toast without it being weird. And oh my God, the monster pets??? Adorable!

Wow I didn’t know Jay to be such a bard, rhyming Sega with Ortega. Pure poetry, no notes, fantastic!

Kit Kat Ghost Toast sounds really good.

The Wednesday Addams cereal also sounds really good.

I bet the big secret promo is that Burger King is going to re-release the Aladdin Halloween buckets.

Janet Smith

That promo is either some Halloween Whopper, or McDonald’s is going to make old school Boo Buckets and not just some cruddy 3D printed ones. (Of course… I could be wrong… it could be Ghostbusters school supplies…)

Nobody's placing bets on Hardee's bringing back the Slimer sundae? I'd guessed BK is bringing back the Universal Monsters action figures / toys; but Ghost Whopper makes the most sense. If that's the case, I hope they go so hard with that. Ghost Whopper with Ghost (Pepper?) fries, Ghost Pepper dipping sauce, and ... uh ... Voo Dew?

Junk food updates for Patronies: Purple-colored, 'berry' flavored Zero Sugar Mountain Dew available at Circle Ks.  The new "Star Wars" "Light Side / Dark Side" Oreos are available, and you can get them in the classic family size package or a bunch of 2-cookie blind bag snack packs, and have the cookies determine your 'side' of the Force. The filling comes in red or blue, and a matching cookie with good guy or bad guy 'sculpted' on one side. Package art is apparently by Greg Hildebrandt, "Iconic Star Wars poster artist since 1977."  The 4th of July Mtn. Dew flavors (3) are out, as are patriotic Cheerios and Captain Crunch and Rice Krispies... (That's 3 separate cereals; can you imagine? ^_^ )

In two weeks Im going on summer vacation to Canada. I told my wife we needed to bring an empty suitcase to fill with Canada exclusive cereals and snacks. Wednesday is on the top of my list. Love the Kit Kat and Reeses flavors and am super pumped about the monster cereals. Shaping up to be a great junk food season. My guess is the secret promo is Burger King doing more halloween themed products. Great episode fellas!

Jay

I wonder if the secret thing is Halloween McNugget Buddies

Anita

I think I'm the only one around here that doesn't start halloween til October, lol Can you do a taste test of the Wednesday cereal in the next bonus show? I can't eat marshmallows and I wanna taste it vicariously.

Mark Halstead

What's the song that plays at the end of the episode? It's tremendous

Nick

Was it too early - probably Was I ready?- yes Did I listen twice?- you betcha

Annie Davis

I totally plotzed when I first saw the Reese’s Werewolf Tracks packaging. There has never been anything so specifically up my alley, and I feel like I’ve been waiting for it my whole life.

Mr.Haunts

So excited for those fruit snacks 😋

Random question, but is anyone having trouble getting episodes to download on Apple Podcasts? At the beginning of the month I download all episodes that have been put out in that month since the beginning of the show for easy re-listening. But, for the past 2 months I download everything and when I reopen the app they are gone.

It's funny that I'm seeing so many Americans on socials with the Wednesday cereal, but I haven't seen a single box here in Canada! It must've only been available west of Ontario (which is pretty typical, actually). I'll hopefully score a box eventually!

Anita

I need to find the reeses medals before the olympics. I want to eat one and feel like my favorite gymnasts.

This is the old Matt that I like: an out of touch hermit holed up with his collection. Never leaving his apartment. Existing on 30 year old Ninja Turtle Pies and Shark shaped fruit snacks "Do kids even go to school anymore? I don't know how anything works."

Splatterpunk

I'm shocked the guys think VooDew always tastes the same?! No way man! I've loved every flavor, though the first remains my favorite! VooDew is always one of the things I'm most excited for each year! I'll be sad when it ends, which I heard might be next year... But the rumor is it won't be gone forever and that another Halloween themed flavor will take its place. Who knows. I'll just keep wishing for more throwback releases and would it kill Pepsi to make Pitch Black permanent?!

Joe L

Does anyone know what song at the end is?? It sounds so familiar but I can’t place it and it’s killing me! Not even Shazam can identify it

Ken Spaulding

Loving the retro monster cereal artwork!
