Join hosts John & Nick each week when they bring similar products for a blind taste test. They will set their brand loyalties aside and rank the competitors, then try (and fail miserably) to guess which is which.
Which Coconut Water is best? The process of getting water from a coconut feels pretty straightforward considering nature does most of the work for us (unlike milking a coconut, but now is not the time to talk about that strangely arousing process). As an occasional coconut water drinker, it feels like every brand should be similar given the seemingly simple process. This has resulted in me grabbing the first reasonably priced coconut water I see. Today we are going to put my consumer indifference to the test to see if there is a difference between coconut water brands or if buying the cheapest version is good enough.

Licorice (Strawberry)
Which Licorice is best? . Licorice is of course a flavor.
Although the original licorice was (probably) black, the term has been redefined by candy companies who realized fruity, squishy candies appeal much better to the average consumer. This week, for the first time we are going to try out the strawberry version of licorice, even if it is in no way a representation of where the category began. The contenders are Red Vine, Twizzler , and Wallaby.

White Cheddar Popcorn (Part 2?)
Which White Cheddar Popcorn is best? This podcast has tackled many different popcorns; microwavable, caramel, orange cheddar, and (according to some on the team) white cheddar. In order to settle this fiery debate some may suggest looking back at past episodes to confirm, but here at Taste Test Dummies we have had all rearview mirrors removed from our company cars, because we only look forward. Despite the civil war brewing, we can all agree that we have not done these exact brands, so let's lower our weapons and choose the best from this week's contenders Be Happy, Garrett, Krackcorn and Sweet Chaos.
