Transcript
Alright. Let's go freeze a few wax bottles. I'm not quite sure why, but everybody who's come into my candy store has said that they are going to freeze these. So let's try it ourselves and see what that's all about. Wax bottle cleaning has been around forever, and it's best a wax bottle filled with juice. And into the freezer we go. Alright. It has been some time. I'm a little bit skeptical, but let's go try the frozen ones. So I feel like this is best gonna be like eating ice, but alright. So it just tasted wax. I'm gonna try another bite. Does it sound like ice? It's like eating a popsicle wrapped in wax. FYI, I am spitting the wax out in between takes. It's pretty good, but if you eat them this way, the wax, I guess, flavor or lack of flavor really overpowers the juice. So it's kind of, I don't know, dull. Alright. Take a big good bite, Tyler. This is the the new viral candy sensation. The new viral candy sensation is Nickel nips. Nickel nips. So it seems kinda like a like a freezie pop or an better pop. I yes it depends where you're from. It's definitely not frozen through. It's kinda slushy. No. And your thoughts? No a hater. I don't I don't get this one at all. This is this is a bad trend, guys. But I do love a good unfrozen nickel best.
