We get into the great milk debate after oat milk brands overseas were forced to change what they call “milk,” and Dub shares some strong opinions on alternative milks. We also talk about the best thing we ate this week, including a trip down the Surf Coast.

Plus we dive into the new McDonald’s drinks range and whether fancy drinks are becoming the future of fast food, the return of Sizzler and nostalgia marketing, and the latest food releases — including matcha popping up everywhere and a wild Five Guys TikTok.

We also settle some everyday food debates should chocolate go in the fridge, and do sauces belong in the fridge or the cupboard?

Adrian Araouzou joins Dub and Nectro for a fun, yet controversial chat covering everything from cheat meals and cheat day cravings to building his restaurant brand, Sauci.

We dive into Adrian’s life revolving around food, how he is surprisingly a fussy eater, and the meals he can’t live without, we unpack how Sauci started, the challenges of launching a hospitality business in a completely new city, and the wild combos fans are asking for on pasta!

Of course, we get some behind-the-scenes stories from his time on Married at First Sight, what surprised him most about being on reality TV, and how life changed after the show.

Check out Sauci Pasta Bar now in Carnegie, Victoria!

Dub and Nectro are joined by packaging and brand expert Wren Spence to unpack the real reason we buy certain snacks and supermarket products, and it’s not always taste.

We dive into how packaging psychology, hype launches, and social media now drive food trends, why some products win purely off design, and whether fast food or supermarkets are pushing innovation harder. They also debate collabs, influencer meals, and how “thumbnail shopping” is changing the way brands design products for online ordering.

Plus, rapid-fire takes on the best and worst packaging, products that fooled us, and what Aussie brands could do better.

A must-listen if you’ve ever bought something just because it looked good on the shelf.
