About this episode
The episode discusses the foods that Black and Brown children were unable to enjoy growing up, highlighting cultural differences and nostalgic memories.
Remember begging for the name brand cereal, only to come home with the giant bag version that tasted “almost” the same? Or asking for the cool snacks at school, but instead pulling out the off-brand cookies your parents swore were just as good? In this episode, we laugh our way through the foods we couldn’t eat growing up Black and Brown. From name brand struggles to frustrating moments, we’re talking about the childhood grocery cart drama that shaped our taste buds and maybe even our personalities.
