🐸Which ‘90s Freddo did we bring back from the dead? Plus, Ben's childhood nickname trauma😖

We’re diving deep into the murky chocolate waters of Freddo Frog history — from lost flavours of the ’90s to chocolate frog-inspired emotional trauma. Em brings back a colourful, much-loved Freddo (kind of), while Ben shares why he used to be called “Freddo Frog” at school and a wild story that links biosecurity and cane toads to the humble Freddo. We mentioned Eamon Donnelly's incredible book The Milk Bars Book Volume II: A Sweet History in the episode. It is highly recommended as a must-read! [1.46] Lost Freddo flavours of the ’90s[8.57] Bbiosecurity tales (and personal trauma)Follow us on Instagram (@ingredipedia) and TikTok (@ingredipedia) to see visuals of our weird and snacky food pursuits.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
