Hello, ya little pawpaws! On episode 162 of HINKY, we talk about a former UK basketball player’s ability to use a can opener, and that leads us to ponder what other kitchen utensils or appliances that younger people might not know how to use. Carrie didn’t eat anywhere new but Sara did, and she ate at a place that will surprise you and maybe gross you out a bit! We tried some crazy chips for Everybody Tries, and Sara tells us the history of the newly-minted most-popular chain restaurant in the US for the HINKY History Lesson.

Hello, ya little pickle balls! On episode 160 of HINKY, we didn’t do a good job of eating on our own. Good thing we have snacks to try together! We did, however, have a lengthy discussion about whether or not Lexington is a boring food town, and we read an article about a topic that both infuriates and gives Sara some smug satisfaction at the same time. We try some very flavorful snacks for Everybody Tries, and Sara tells us history of something that no one really knows about for the HINKY History Lesson. What else do we get into?

Hello, ya little Miller Lites! On episode 158 of HINKY, we’re pretty sure we’ve created a new catchphrase (and no, we’re not trying to make fetch happen). Sara tried a new smoothie place, and Carrie tried to get a classic go-to snack without checking to see if the place was actually open. We also found an article about 80s desserts that stirred up some nostalgia for the group. We found our new fave summer snack in Everybody Tries, and Sara tells us the history of America’s largest gas station for the HINKY History Lesson. What else do we get into?

Hello, ya little cheesy poofs! On episode 154 of HINKY, we get right into things. Sara tried an apparently exclusive pizza joint without realizing it, which led to an extensive conversation about restaurant reservations, and Carrie revisited a spot she hadn’t been to in years. We each read articles about soda flops and popular road trip stops, and we have to stop and look up one of the places cause it didn’t sound real. We try some chips and Reese’s cups for Everybody Tries, and Sara gives us the history of the best gluten-free, dairy-free, fat free candy for the HINKY History Lesson. What else do we get into?
