gmderieg asked: I discovered the greatest snack combo that's gonna blow Martha or whoever from Cape Cod's snack choice out of the water. Eat Oh Boy O'Berto's pepper beef jerky with an ice cold coca-cola, preferably in the 20oz plastic bottle.

You're welcome.

stefhow asked: You guys should have guests on the podcast more often. Not that just the two of you aren't good enough. But, like, add Showalter in the mix maybe sometime? That might be fun. He probably likes snacks.

shatnerhub asked: I shared with my mother in law that celery is nature's spork. She just stared at me. Now I look like even more of an idiot. And here I thought all this MATES listening would make me more popular...

radmccool asked: I'm not sure where to suggest a wacko snacko so I'm doing it here!

Ritz crackers + frosting.

I know it sounds just terrible for you, but if you get the ratio right, the deliciosity far outweighs the guilt. I recommend "Pillsbury® Creamy Supreme Cream Cheese" flavor but that's only because that's the only frosting I've tried in...

bwalczak asked: Tom, you should know this one from your days in Canada.

Coffee Crisp!

Being so close to the border we would get these in Buffalo. A delicious snack that I dare rate higher than Snickers.

nothingsaid asked: Where do I find the orchestra hit sound effect that follows every snack intro? I can't think of a better way to identify fellow MATES viewers (IKTNV) than having that as my text message sound.

aprilfoolsbaby86 asked: Tom: Regarding whether the Pringles guy was sliced and stacked before he was buried in the Pringles can. He was cremated.....just in case you really wanted to know.

Love the show!

aweathermusic asked: I see someone has already asked this, but I want reiterate that you guys pick some very nice interludial songs and I'd love to know what bands are making those songs. Particularly the Toblerone episode had a lovely interludial song. You may use the word "interludial" if you'd like, which I've just created. Think of it as a gift.

huzzbuzz-deactivated20130502 asked: Development on the Oatmeal Creme Pies suggestion, which I'm sure you've been anxiously anticipating (since the oatmeal creme pie game is a consistently adapting and transfiguring one): there's this thing called a "big pack." Or maybe it's called something else, but I am too lazy to check this on, like, the internet or in my own kitchen or something. NOT ONLY do you...

LOVE your podcast! Great analogies and tidbit on Canada. I am an ignorant American and really have no clue about Canada! Thank you for the great insight on snacks and the education!

50rupeesforthepowderroom asked: This is not a question, but I thought Mike would enjoy this...I am a huge Dave Matthews fan and was just watching a documentary on the band (yes, I have no life), and at a show on April 4th, 1992, Dave himself (!) introduced the band as THE Dave Matthews Band. So I think if he can do it, you should be able to on Twitter, even if it's not the official name. Oh, and Tom, stop pretending you...

jench78 asked: I cast aside your "rolls-royce" of ice cream, and suggest, instead, Graeter's french-pot style ice cream. If you do some research, you will discover that this is the densest ice cream available. I would send you some, but I'm waiting until I become a semi-successful tv actor and get a few royalty checks. You thought you'd had ice-cream, but you haven't. This one...

addventures-deactivated20120517 asked: Have you covered Freezer Pops yet? If not, no time like the sweaty,hot-as-hell present! Actually, I just want to hear how you'll handle it if one of you sucks the melting pop down the wrong pipe, which is a common hazard of this treat. I wish you no harm, just for entertainment's sake, ya know?
