Welcome back to The Snack Pack! In this flavour-focused episode, Byron Bay Cookies, your hosts Lauren, Aaron, and Brendan embark on a detailed taste test of Byron Bay's popular cookie bites. They sample and scrutinize three specific varieties: the classic Milk Chocolate Choc, the decadent Triple Choc, and the intriguing White Choc Macadamia.Listen closely as the trio offers their completely honest opinions, diving into both the taste profile and the mouthfeel of these widely available treats. A key point of discussion revolves around a noticeable "powdery" consistency that seemed present across the different flavours sampled. The hosts don't hold back on sharing their ratings for each cookie variety they tried.But the snack analysis doesn't stop with Byron Bay! The conversation naturally meanders through a diverse landscape of food and snack-related topics. Expect lively debate and personal anecdotes covering:Protein Bars: The hosts delve into their history with protein bars, sharing past experiences, recounting some less-than-stellar reviews of certain brands, and reminiscing about previous protein snack ventures gone wrong, including a memorable, ill-fated order of protein cookies shipped from the US.The Perfect Cookie: What makes the ideal chocolate chip cookie? The team debates preferences, weighing the merits of chewy versus flat textures and discussing the impact of using different types of chocolate chips or chunks.Brownie & Blondie Wars: They tackle the timeless question that divides dessert lovers: Is the crispy edge piece or the gooey middle piece of a brownie or blondie truly superior?Finishing Touches: The hosts consider the trend and taste impact of adding flaky sea salt to the top of freshly baked cookies.Oatmeal Raisin Opinions: This classic cookie flavour gets its moment, with the hosts sharing their individual thoughts and varying levels of enthusiasm for the combination.Defining Terms: What actually differentiates a "biscuit" from a "cookie"? This fundamental question is raised, leading to a spirited discussion about definitions and regional differences.Brand History: Curious about the origins of Byron Bay Cookies? The hosts explore the brand's backstory, touching upon its original name and how it grew into the recognizable brand it is today.Size Matters?: Does the bite-sized format inherently put these cookies at a disadvantage compared to their full-sized counterparts? The hosts ponder this question.Funny Comparisons: Expect some characteristic Snack Pack humour as Brendan likens the shape of one cookie to a "constipated poo," the white chocolate macadamia variety evokes comparisons to "tiny scones," and other shapes bring to mind a Goomba from Mario or even a humble garlic clove.Ultimately, did the Byron Bay cookie bites live up to the expectation set by their fancy packaging? Tune in to hear the complete tasting experience, the characteristic lively banter between Lauren, Aaron, and Brendan, and their final verdicts.Don't forget to join the conversation and share your own snack opinions with the hosts on Instagram @thesnackpackpod, and please consider leaving a rating and review for the show on your preferred podcast platform!
