Hello, ya little saltines! On episode 136 of HINKY, it's back to school time! That must mean the weather is gonna get cooler, right? Right?! Well, probably not.

Hello ya little refreshers! On episode 132 of HINKY, it's hot. Like, really hot outside. And you all know how we feel about heat.

We try some very on-the-nose-tasting snacks in Everybody Tries, and Sara te...

We each had our own separate food adventures over the past couple of weeks that were both pretty fun, and we talk about places we might wanna visit in the future. We try some snacks...

Hello ya little Cadbury bunnies! On episode 126 of HINKY, Carrie and Sara talk for (probably) too long about the Lexington Cemetery, even though it has nothing to do with food.
