00:00All right, everybody, welcome back to the Snack Boys.

00:03I'm Eddie.

00:04On the other end is Clem, and in between us is Jeff Vibbert.

00:07Vibbs, welcome in.

00:08Thank you for having me.

00:09It is an honor to be a Snack Boy for the day.

00:11Of course, it's great to have you, and today we will be reviewing Jolly Rancher Ropes.

00:15There are four flavors, Blue Raspberry, Cherry, Watermelon, and Green Apple.

00:20Big Jolly Rancher guy.

00:22Big Sweet Tart Ropes guy.

00:24That's right now my number one gummy candy.

00:26Number one.

00:27Yeah.

00:28Wow.

00:29That's a crazy statement.

00:30I know.

00:31That's why I have high, high, high, high, high hopes.

00:34Can I say this?

00:36I like the Sweet Tarts Ropes.

00:37The other day I got a fun size Sweet Tart Rope, trash.

00:40Very bad.

00:41Awful.

00:42I don't know how.

00:43The little niblets, terrible.

00:46What is it?

00:47Isn't it just cut up big ones?

00:49How does it ... What is it?

00:50They also have sugar on them, right?

00:52They're coated.

00:53Oh, this ... No, this just ...

00:54This is bad?

00:55No.

00:56It's a ratio problem.

00:57It sounded like there was a ratio problem.

00:58Yeah.

01:00The candy rope industry is growing at a fast pace.

01:02Booming.

01:03And I feel like they were like, all right, we got to bring out the big dog Jolly Rancher,

01:06which as kids, what was your number one Jolly Rancher?

01:08Do you remember as a ... I was, I think Blue Razz, maybe Green Apple.

01:12Maybe Green Apple.

01:13I was always anti those two because they were the cool flavors and I always went against

01:16them on principle alone.

01:17I'm just being honest.

01:18So you would get ...

01:19This is all flavors.

01:20Wait.

01:21You were going off your mind and now your taste buds are telling you?

01:22Yeah.

01:23I didn't even have them like that.

01:24So you were a grape guy?

01:25Watermelon.

01:26Wow.

01:27Watermelon.

01:29Can I tell you what I was?

01:30All of them.

01:31I didn't ...

01:32So you became a snack boy?

01:33Lemon.

01:34I didn't like the lemon ones.

01:35Is there a yellow?

01:36I feel like those were hard to find.

01:37Do you have some in there?

01:38Probably.

01:39Oh.

01:40No.

01:41I hate you.

01:42Is this watermelon?

01:43Where are you going with this?

01:44Apple, right?

01:45Apple, yeah.

01:46These are a bit gooey-er than the Sweet Tart Ropes.

01:47And there's not even a flavor.

01:48No.

01:49No.

01:50No.

01:51No.

01:52No.

01:53No.

01:54No.

01:55No.

01:56No.

01:57No.

01:58That's not sweet, obviously.

01:59Or tart, I think.

02:00Kind of tastes like an Airhead.

02:06Sour Apple Airhead.

02:07I can see that.

02:08I can definitely see that.

02:09Not ... yeah.

02:10I like watermelon more than a green apple.

02:18I appreciate consistency and just the rope.

02:22The way it is.

02:24It's like Drake.

02:25Just like ...

02:27Very fresh.

02:28They're small.

02:29Freshness is huge.

02:30You get a Sour Patch Kid, you get a Stale Batch, gross.

02:31The fresh ones, ooh, baby.

02:32Brutal.

02:33I ... man.

02:34Very meh on both of them.

02:35I don't really have a ... I don't really care about either one.

02:36Now we got Blue Rats here.

02:37What's the other one?

02:38Cherry?

02:39Mm-hmm.

02:40Looks like we have a winner.

02:41That's a secret sauce right there.

02:42Mm-hmm.

02:43Might be the first time I've ever had a Blue Rat Jelly Rancher or anything.

02:44Again, because of my hard-headedness as a child.

02:45I don't know.

02:46You try the blue?

03:00Not yet.

03:01Oh, sorry.

03:02I went red before I went blue.

03:03It's all right.

03:04I'll wait for my comments on red.

03:06But I think ... I'll let you guys ... Red, I think, is true to the Jolly Rancher flavor,

03:15but it kind of tastes like cough medicine.

03:16Yeah.

03:17You're right.

03:18It's like a medicine-type flavor.

03:19Mm-hmm.

03:20Yep.

03:21I've noticed this with the Jolly Rancher gummies.

03:22It doesn't translate from the hard candy as well as I'd like, personally.

03:31These are not a rebuy for me.

03:32I wouldn't buy these.

03:33I think the blue's fantastic.

03:34Yeah?

03:35I think the blue's an easy one.

03:36Watermelon, two.

03:37Green apple, three.

03:38Cherry, four.

03:39I can live with that.

03:40Overall, they're a little too waxy on the outside for me, but I like that they're fresh

03:51and soft.

03:52I don't think I'd pick them over the Sweet Tarts, but I'm not mad at these at all.

03:59But I do wonder how much I'd want to keep eating this.

04:03I'm going to keep eating them, but I don't want to keep eating them.

04:06I don't think these are that great.

04:08They remind me of the sour Jolly Rancher candies, and they just are nothing compared

04:13to the hard candy.

04:14Jolly Rancher's only good as a hard candy, I'm going to say that.

04:17Mm-hmm.

04:18I'm not going to argue with that.

04:20Maybe I'm just a rope guy.

04:21You might be a rope guy.

04:22Nothing wrong with it.

04:23Yeah.

04:24I'm going to give these a seven, two.

04:29I'm a big rope guy.

04:31Lots of ropes.

04:32You see this face, you think ropes.

04:36I'm going to go 5.7.

04:39Wow.

04:40You ain't going to like this, is that it?

04:465.1.

04:47Wow.

04:48Is that our biggest show discrepancy ever?

04:51It's up there.

04:52It's up there, yeah.

04:53It's up there for sure.

04:54We are not aligned on Jolly Rancher ropes.

04:57Regardless, Vibs, thank you for joining us.

05:00It was fun.

05:01Thanks for having me.

05:02Vibs used to torture people in this office.

05:06I meant to say that.

05:07We give them some fruity ropes.

05:09Hey, don't threaten me with a good time.

05:13You walked in with a cooler full of just snacks.

05:15I was like, wow.

05:16Everyone was happy and excited.

05:17I was like, wow, that's an interesting thing.

05:19Maybe I should have done something like that instead of just torture people.

05:22Vibs is like, we found some fetuses outside.

05:25We don't know what animal they are.

05:27Thanks, man.

05:28We love you, though.

05:29Thanks, everybody.

05:30We'll see you next time.
