Shownotes

Get ready to indulge, because today is National Junk Food Day, and it’s about time we celebrated our true culinary loves! I mean, who needs kale when you’ve got Crunchwraps and nacho fries calling your name? Let’s be real—nobody's backing out of a Taco Bell drive-thru just because their moral compass is tingling! This day is all about keeping it 100% honest with ourselves: junk food is our jam, and it’s time to embrace that greasy goodness like the old friends they are. So grab your favorite snacks and let’s toast to a day where guilt takes a backseat, and flavor rides shotgun! And don’t worry—if you’ve got leftovers, just call 1-800-GOT-JUNK-FOOD, and we’ll handle it like pros.

Takeaways:

  • National Junk Food Day is the perfect excuse to indulge without guilt—what's better than that?
  • We all have our junk food weaknesses, whether it’s chips, pizza rolls, or leftover pizza from last night.
  • Kale had its chance, but let’s be real, Oreos are the real MVPs of snack time.
  • This is the one day we can admit that junk food is a lifestyle, not just a treat.
  • Forget nutrition for a day—let’s celebrate the snacks that bring us pure joy and messy fingers!
  • If you’ve got leftover snacks, don’t hoard them—call 1-800-GOT junk food and let the feast begin!

Transcripts

Speaker A:

It's haystack.

Speaker A:

And today is somehow National Junk Food Day, which is odd.

Speaker A:

I thought it was October 31st, but it's great because I was already planning to observe it.

Speaker A:

Accidentally, of course.

Speaker A:

It's the one day of the year where we're supposed to pretend that junk food is a holiday instead of a lifestyle choice that we've worshiped since middle school.

Speaker A:

And I love the idea of guilt free junk food.

Speaker A:

As if guilt is what's stopping us.

Speaker A:

at a Taco Bell drive thru at:

Speaker A:

No, we're getting the Crunchwrap and the nacho fries and then telling ourselves the Diet Coke cancels out the rest of the receipt.

Speaker A:

The best junk food, though, is never elegant.

Speaker A:

It's never on a plate.

Speaker A:

It's never locally sourced.

Speaker A:

It comes in a bag that makes a lot of noise and leaves dust on your fingers and has ingredients that sound like rejected Marvel villains.

Speaker A:

And we all have at least one weakness.

Speaker A:

Chips, candy, pizza rolls, gas station donuts, Little Debbie cold leftover fries that you eat over the sink like a raccoon with a mortgage.

Speaker A:

National Junk Food Day is not about nutrition.

Speaker A:

It's about honesty.

Speaker A:

For one day, we admit that kale had its chance and that Oreos made a better argument.

Speaker A:

So enjoy National Junk Food Day.

Speaker A:

Enjoy it responsibly, of course.

Speaker A:

Or I guess, irresponsibly if you're near a comfortable chair.

Speaker A:

This National Junk Food Day, clear out all the snacks you didn't scarf down and call 1-800-GOT junk food.

Speaker A:

Just point and our team of fat guys will gobble it all up.

Speaker A:

Twinkies, potato chips, even leftover pizza.

Speaker A:

It tastes even better the next day.

Speaker A:

Don't let those fattening treats in your pantry tempt you.

Speaker A:

Mmm.

Speaker A:

Cool Ranch Doritos, My favorite.

Speaker A:

When National Junk Food Day is over, get back on your diet with our help.

Speaker A:

We drank all the soda and we're about done with the freezer, ma'.

Speaker A:

Am.

Speaker A:

Just waiting for my guy's ice cream headache to go away.

Speaker A:

Don't leave your refrigerator cluttered with calories.

Speaker A:

Call 1-800- Got junk food today.
