Snacktime Conspiracy is back with your future congressman from the 252, Graeme Strickland! He explains GREEDFLATION, its impact on our snacks, and the importance of competition policy to prevent monopolies from sucking us all up like a Dyson V8. Graeme loves mint Oreos and hot fries but is decidedly anti-conspiracy, citing the dangers the Freemasons and QAnon have unleashed upon America. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Now that it is no longer a constitutional right in the US to have an abortion, we look at how herbs and foods have been used throughout history to prevent pregnancy and induce abortions. As we all know, banning abortion does not stop them from happening, it merely prevents safe abortions and puts women at risk. The usage of gin, citrus, Queen Anne's Lace, and other abortifacients was during a time when there was no access to safe abortion; a time we are fearful to revisit. Special thanks to Kate Lebo for her book, Difficult Fruit, for providing information on juniper berries and their usage throughout history as an abortifacient. *We are NOT recommending the use of herbs or food to prevent and end pregnancies.* --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Award-winning activist, Antarctic traveler, and prolific artist, Victor Davila (known by friends as Mama Bear), blesses Snacktime by unpeeling the corrupt layers of an ice cream behemoth straight out of the Bronx much like the man himself. Davila recounts how Haagen Dazs bullied Ben & Jerry's right out of its humble beginnings in Vermont straight into America's hearts, and how nothing is ever as it seems. In Snacktime's longest episode yet Davila states: "Shared knowledge is power. Power mapping is power. Power is a means to an end and that end needs to be freedom." --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
That cozy Sleepytime Tea bear is a symbol of the unconscious in more ways than one. Today we uncover how Celestial Seasonings was inspired by The Urantia Book, a 2,097-page text of garbage written by William S. Sadler, a eugenicist and student of Freud. The Urantia Book is 4.3 lbs. of racist ideologies disguised in confusing jargon about aliens, the colors of the rainbow, and planet #606: Urantia, aka Earth. We also discuss the disastrous Kardashian-approved Fittea, Skinny Tea, and Bootea, the latter of which is to blame for a rash of pregnancies in the U.K. Every Snacktime Conspiracy episode somehow connects back to masturbator-haters John Harvey Kellogg and Sylvester Graham as well as our beloved Kimberly Kardashian and this episode is no different. Wake up sheeple! Celestial Seasonings is lying to you! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Andrew opened a silverware chest and stumbled into America's first free love cult... Like Sylvester Graham of episode one, John Humphrey Noyes loved God and hated masturbation. Sadly, Noyes has no crackers named in his honor, but symbols from his beloved Oneida Community live amongst us today in our silverware drawers. In Episode X we discuss the semi-progressive, hella horny Oneida Community and their commonalities with the matriarchal cult you must be born into, The Kardashians. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

We came up with a new concept: the party episode. What does this mean? We have a plus one, Ms. Alice Gaddis of Idaho, a renowned naturalist of the highest caliber with unheard of insights on the Mormon world and things regarding Grimes. Besides the plus one, something else is involved: a lack of restraint and alcohol. Perhaps those two are listed out of order. Enjoy with a lager or don't enjoy this at all. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In Episode VI. we tackle two spooky conspiracies: Lea Michele's illiteracy and the environmental impact of Hello Fresh and other meal delivery kits. TRUTHS: America wastes an astronomical amount of food although millions of people remain food insecure. While Lea Michele may be good at acting, she is a bad actor who shouldn't have been able to get away with such awful behavior on the set of Glee Happy Halloween!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

While the pandemic caused snack sales to skyrocket, Nabisco raked in billions. Nabisco employees were then considered essential workers and hailed as heroes. Now, those same employees are at risk of losing their jobs. Since early August, Nabisco workers in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Colorado have been on strike as the snack giant modifies employee contracts to eliminate pension plans, increase shift times, and eliminate overtime pay. Episode IV delves into Nabisco's first strike in 52 years, the history of America's not-so-favorite cookie, and its association with tobacco and stock market bros. We stand with BCTGM union members and Danny Devito when we say: NO CONTRACTS, NO SNACKS --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Buckle up for a messy, sludgy track down the slippery, and very shitty slope of Britney Spears' conservatorship. In short: her dad is the problem. But did you know that Jamie Spears was so full of shit that his colon erupted? He was literally in the hospital. It's no surprise after years of reigning a petty bourgeoisie holding his dåughter, Britney Spears, as prisoner. Daddy-O has gone so far to stick his muddy hands in her wallet, stealing dollar bills and funneling it to other willful leaches and racketeers. Justice certainly has not been served, so we have decided to fill in the blanks with a couple of twists. Join Snacktime Conspiracy for an episode that explores the best and hidden gems of Britney's discography, her strange ties to the ice cream diet, her boyfriend Sam and his (good/bad) intentions, and Jamie's IBS. Jamie-Lynn is for another time. With raw audio from Brit-Brit's recent court testimony, as well as a replay of early career interviews, this episode will leave your brain filled with critical knowledge…and of course, good vibes and something to whistle on your way to werk. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
There is nary a corner of the globe untouched by the Coca Cola Company, a brand imbued with nostalgic Americana, high fructose corn syrup, and initially… cocaine. The Coca Cola Company is not merely peddling soda, they are selling a national identity, an ideal, a fraudulent narrative from which we are unable to untangle ourselves. Listen to Episode II of Snacktime Conspiracy to explore the sordid history of America's most iconic brand. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Those boring graham crackers were thought up by one special man: Sylvester Graham. Whereas famous painters find their muses in young beautiful women, Mr. Graham found his muse in his blue balls. His desire to stop the sin of masturbating drove him to turn to wheat germ, yeast, and flour. In this episode, we dive into Graham's Treatise on Bread, his wretched love life, his childhood trauma, and ask an important question: do the graham crackers work as advertised? Come explore the ultimate buzzkill, and munch on some of these alleged erection ejectors with your hosts, Madeline and Laura. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
