## Resource

Hey listeners, Bree here! Grab your beverage of choice (because I’m currently on day two of zero coffee and the caffeine withdrawal is real ). Today, we’re hanging out, listening to the local goose songs, and diving into a chaotic mix of nostalgia, generational theft, and sticky historical disasters. In this episode, we talk about: Beloves 90's Snacks: We look back at 12 beloved treats we’re still mourning. Gen Z's New Obsession with Gen X Culture: From paying $70 for eBay Walkmans and rocking hair tinsel to buying flip phones for "wellness" and hanging out at the mall. Gen Z thinks they discovered physical media, and Gen X is just standing there watching the cycle repeat. Historical Delirium — The Great Molasses Flood of 1919: We travel back to Boston to dissect a disaster so ridiculous it sounds fake. Imagine being pursued down the street by a 25-foot wave of pancake syrup moving at 35 miles per hour. We break down the literal quicksand of "disaster syrup" and why Boston smelled like cookies for a decade. History is weird, snack companies are cruel, and Gen Z is currently fighting over squishy dumplings at Five Below. Let's get into it!
