Episode 9: Heinz EZ Squirt Ketchup

Our friend Andy Paz joins Ryan for the third installment of Culinary Dumps. We try and make sense of Heinz’s notorious EZ Squirt line. In the early 2000’s Heinz took major risk by releasing a newly designed ketchup bottle as well as a slew of new colors of the world’s most beloved condiment.  Green, Teal, Purple, Orange, and Pink ketchup? What could go wrong? We also got to talk about Shrek so that is a plus!

Episode 8: Disco Demolition

The Disco Demolition has gone down as one of the most negative reactions to a seemingly innocent cultural movement. Filled with racial and societal implications, the Disco Demolition is as sad as it is ridiculous. Join us as we revisit the night when thousands of rowdy baseball fans gathered to blow up a giant crate of disco records. 

Episode 7: Barney and Friends

We go all the way back to a simpler time, when recess was king, when we still felt special, when love came in the form of a purple dinosaur named Barney. Ryan and Parks layout the history of the beloved character as well as the man behind the giant purple mask. Turns out this Dino has been getting busy since the show ended. 😉
