Oreo - Knock Off Knock Out

Taste Test Dummies ·

2024/08/08

Which Oreo knock off is best? The original creme filled chocolate sandwich cookie was released in 1908 by Hydrox, a couple years later Nabisco responded with Oreo. Despite Oreo not being the original, they somehow ended up changing the snack game forever. Although there are alternatives out there (including Hydrox being an Amazon exclusive) we are going to anoint Oreo king and compare them to 3 of their off brands to see if any of the little guys can compete with Oreo in a blind taste test.

Lime Beer

Taste Test Dummies ·

2024/07/18

Which Lime Beer is best? At first glance lime beers feels like a typical lager with a small maybe gimmicky change to sell more cases. Then the grueling summer months hit and suddenly the lime beer feels like a refreshing change. This week we try to find another glimmer of hope in a long, hot summer by trying out 4 lime beers, and 3 of them advertise the addition of salt so we will also see if this is a welcome addition. This weeks contenders are Bud Light, Dos Equis, Modelo, and Shiner. Please

Gummy Bears

Taste Test Dummies ·

2024/07/03

Which Gummy Bear brand is best? Nick, our senior sweet snack specialist, has always been a big fan of gummy snacks. But the combination of negative memories (unfair) and a plethora of other gummy snack options, gummy bears have never been his go-to option. This week we give gummy bears their day in court to figure out which is best, and really if this category deserves our attention in the first place. This weeks contenders are Albanese, Black Forrest, Haribo, and Lily's. Please like and

Brie - Cheese

Taste Test Dummies ·

2024/06/13

Which Brie is best? When you are feeling a bit charcuterie-ey Looking through the cheese options in a grocery store can be intimidating. Normally Nick and John just look for sales and try to at least buy a cheaper option then forget what we purchased. But do you really want to live your life eating everyone else's leftover cheese? Those of you who said yes can see themselves out. Those who stayed will get insights on which Brie is actually worth buying, instead of the guess and forget method.

IPA - American

Taste Test Dummies ·

2024/06/06

Which American IPA is best? A while back the Hazy IPA hit a level of popularity which pressured Nick into bringing it as the first IPA on this podcast. Now a year or so later, we find ourselves missing the good old fashion IPAs we originally fell for. Today we are taking a strangely nostalgic trip through some of the American Style IPAs that used to be our go to (and only) option. The contenders are Goose Island IPA, New Belgium Voodoo Ranger, Sierra Nevada Torpedo, and Surly Furious. Please

Diet Cola

Taste Test Dummies ·

2024/05/30

Which Diet Cola is best? Sodas with alternative sugars are becoming more popular all the time as it presents a way for the consumer to drink their beloved sodas, while still feeling good about themselves because they just consumed a calorie free beverage. Although health benefits are much more complicated than a calorie counter, here at Taste Test Dummies we fully endorse the "pretend this is good for me" methodology. With this wishful thinking in mind, we will try out 4 Diet Colas this week.

French Onion Dip

Taste Test Dummies ·

2024/05/22

Which French Onion Dip is best? On their own, a ruffled potato chip is a mediocre chip on a good day. When you take the Ruffles and use them as a vessel to get dip into your mouth, we are looking at an entirely different story. This week we are trying 3 pre-made French Onion Dips, the undisputed best dip to pair with potato chips (legally I am required to point out that my prior statement was a [correct] opinion, not a fact). The contenders are Daisy, Dean's and Lay's. Please like and subscribe

Tortilla Chips

Taste Test Dummies ·

2024/05/09

Which Tortilla Chip is best? We've tried Salsa and Guacamole, but we haven't yet asked what the best vessel for these dips are, that is until today. The tortilla chip is often overlooked in the dip formula, but small differences in texture, and salt level can make a surprisingly big difference. The contenders for today are Late July, On The Border, Tostitos, and Xochitl. Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at

Orange Sports Drink

Taste Test Dummies ·

2024/04/25

Which Orange sports drink is best? Our first round of sports drink was with a more obscure flavor (grape), but this time we are getting back to one of the original flavors. Non-Gatorade versions of lemon lime proved hard to come by, and Fruit Punch is disgusting, so the obvious choice was to try out Orange flavored sports drinks. The contenders are Gatorade, Ghost, and Powerade. Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at

Paloma - Canned Cocktail

Taste Test Dummies ·

2024/04/11

Which canned Paloma cocktail is best? The cocktail in a can idea seems to be getting more popular all the time so it's time to try out a second offering. The problem with the canned Paloma specifically is how simple it is to make, so is it even worth buy it premade? Today we put 3 already made cocktails to the test, and later on try our own creation. The contenders are Cazadores, Cutwater, and Fresca. Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us

Jelly Beans

2024/03/27

Which Jelly bean bag is best? This week in celebration of Easter candy being at the store, we are going to try out some bags of jelly beans that are available for the holiday. Nick (somewhat controversially) excluded Jelly Belly because they are available year round and have too many flavors to compare to the other bags. Some may disagree with this decision, but obviously those people are incorrect. Now onto the bags of beans that did make it to the show. The contenders are Brachs, Jolly

Taste Test Dummies ·

2024/03/21

Which Dark chocolate with sea salt and almonds is best? This week we try out some dark chocolates. Every brand seems to have random ingredients added to their products, but the sea salt and almond variation seems to be rather popular although this specific combination is not something either of us have much experience with. Today the contenders are Chocolove, Ghirardelli, Lily's, and Theo. Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or

Aged Cheddar

2024/03/07

Which Aged Cheddar is best? Looking over the backlog of episodes, one category jumped out to us as being unfairly neglected. We have reviewed string cheese in the past, but the list ends there (unless you count Oreos with Cheese Whiz). This week we are going to ease our way in with some aged cheddar. The competitors are Cabot, Cracker Barrell, and Kerrygold. Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at

2024/02/15

Which Pisco is best? Fresh off his trip to Peru, Nick wanted to bring something unique from his travels to try. Pisco is an unaged brandy most commonly made in Peru and Chile.

Strawberry Soda

Taste Test Dummies ·

2024/02/08

Which Strawberry Soda is best? This week we take another plunge into the world of fruit sodas by trying some Strawberry soda. Usually with similar products we try to bring in the winners of past episodes, but unfortunately Welch's has made their offering impossible to find. Instead we will stick with stalwarts (Crush and Fanta) being joined by two new commers (Faygo and Jarritos).

Rose Prosecco

2024/01/04

Which Rose Prosecco is best? A while back we compared the Proseccos of three brands, La Marca, Mionetto, and Ruffino. This week in an (accidental?) celebration of New Years, we are doing a rematch of these three brands but instead with their Rose variety.
