Laura and Carmen get into the Good Friday spirit with a surprisingly intense debate about the correct way to eat a Cadbury’s Creme Egg. From shrinkflation and sugary highs to the discovery that Creme Eggs are a weirdly sexual topic, things descend quickly. They dive into one of Laura’s favourite corners of the internet: mattress unboxing fails, where unsuspecting people get absolutely taken out by vacuum-packed beds. Also on the list of things that shouldn’t be this funny… people accidentally exposing themselves while trying to sell mirrors online. Plus, your DIY horror stories- from flooded gardens, to loose screws- you did not disappoint!
