DipDabs are Lick'em Sticks in the US (not sure if they still exist-i haven't had one since I was a kid in the late 70's when I was addicted to them) and the "lolly" was just a white stick of more sugar with a vaguely vanilla taste.

@@celinavivian1162 from my understanding, type 1s have no insulin production. Our own bodies betrayed us and destroyed the pancreas killing cells. Type 2 diabetes is where the pancreas creates insulin that can't be used properly, or not enough. Type 2 at times can be managed by diet, but unfortunately I've not come across a diet which can restore dead cells. Type 1s need insulin, but sometimes type 2s need extra insulin too.

Ed Gamble and James Acaster are two of my favourite snacks

I actually said "oh my god" as happy as I could when I saw these two got featured on Snack Wars!

James whilst positively complementing the taste of prawns... "Mmmm...you can tell they used to know each other!" 🤣🤣🤣 ... was not expecting that kind of instant humour.

Wonderful! I loved James being told that was his last mouthful of ice cream!!! 😂🤣

“My eyes are circles” - James Acaster, Taskmaster Season 7

I actually exclaimed 'oh my god!' after Ed (rightfully) compared James to Edmund from Narnia 😅

I genuinely gasped when James bit the ENTIRE top of the Fab off.

the way they both bit into the fab is insane. you're meant to eat the chocolate and sprinkles first, then lick the white bit and then the actual ice lolly part

5:19 "Easy to win great taste of the year when no one can taste anything" Brilliant!

Are we just going to sail by the fact that James renamed it a Fip Fab? Because that may be the most genius joke I've heard in a long time.

Watching James Acaster and Ed Gamble judge posh snacks is the kind of content I never knew I needed, but now can't stop watching. My snack game will never be the same! OTR should have this fun episode too!

Seeing Ed ALSO eating everything James was eating birthed conflicting emotions inside me. Was only resolved when I saw footage of the syringe, so thank you for including it!
