But first, it's time for a cheese-off!

Arnott's cheese biscuits.

1. A "crisp cracker baked with real cheddar cheese, and sprinkled with pecorino." Arnott's say Cheds are treat for the "ultimate cheese-lover."

REACTIONS:

DAVE: "Good, yeah, solid."

KITTY: "Not quite enough cheese flavour, so you just keep going back for more. It's quite a good trick, that.

"I need another bite really quickly to get more. Nice sprinkling of salt on it, good texture."

DAVE: "Perfect savoury biscuit."

KITTY: "They're very well cooked. They're cooked to the point of, 'quick, you better get them out'."

DAVE: "Almost burnt, but not... There must be some guy standing by the oven, precisely taking them out.

"I've gone back for more."

KITTY: "With a nice piece of cheddar on that, you're really doubling down."

DAVE: "Or Cameron Bert!"

2. Arnott's Country Cheese is their "melt-in-mouth cracker" option, with "farmhouse cheddar."

REACTIONS:

DAVE: "They're not bad."

KITTY: "Nice texture, but they're not as cheesy as I remember. They're quite light on the cheese flavour, I'm going to try another one."

DAVE: "Would I be right in saying that the cheese is more a parmesan kind-of flavour? Strong kind-of, whereas Cheds are more cheddary."

KITTY: "I'm going to get the packets.

"This is why Cheds are a bit more cheesy, they've got real pecorino cheese. That's quite a strong cheese.

"In your Country Cheese, it's just your farmhouse cheddar."

DAVE: "I would have said it's the other way around, but no. Okay, that's good to know."

KITTY: "The Ched definitely has a stronger cheese flavour, I think, and the Country Cheese has got a good sprinkling of salt on it. I don't mind it."

VERDICT: Cheds

Even though the Cheds were "tougher" in their texture - almost like a lemon crisp - they were Kitty and Dave's winner of the cheese off!

KITTY: "I wouldn't turn my nose up at a Country Cheese if someone offered it to me, and if you put a slice of cheddar on either of these, really good..."

DAVE: "Cheese on cheese."

Freak(s) of the week.

Made by the popcorn-makers, Cobs, Kitty brought in some barbecue flavoured corn puffs.

The Junkees had previously tried the cheese flavour from the same range.

DAVE: "They smell great."

KITTY: "Ooh, gee, you get a hit at the beginning that tastes a bit like Worcestershire sauce, don't you?"

DAVE: "Yeah!"

KITTY: "...and then it just disappears to nothing. I don't like that. You get that initial taste, and then they taste a bit like floor, and just nothing."

DAVE: "You're right, they disappear to nothing."

Hubba Bubba bubble gum-flavoured M&M's were next on the agenda, a purchase of big bubble gum fan, Kitty.

KITTY: "They smell exactly like bubble gum."

DAVE: "Who doesn't love Hubba Bubba?"

KITTY: "I really do love Hubba Bubba. I love bubble gum-flavoured ice cream, I love the flavour of bubble gum.

"You know I'm not a big M&M's fan, but I'm hoping - after we dissed pretzel M&M's here before - they will redeem themselves here, and I'll be able to give a positive review for bubble gum-flavoured M&M's.

"I'm going to go a bit hard here and put a few in my mouth at once. I think just tasting one isn't going to work.

"Ooh! OH, I like it! I really like it! It's really weird, it's a Freak of the Week, but wow.

"That is bubble gum and chocolate together. I wouldn't have picked it as a good combo, but I really like it!"

DAVE: "It's almost like the M&M is covered in bubble gum. You eat it and get the bubble gum rush, and then the chocolate hangs around."

KITTY: "I almost expect that I should be able to blow a bubble with it, that's the confusing thing.

"Oh, that's really well done. Love it... That's a proper party happening."

DAVE: "It's like getting an ice cream with bubble gum flavour, and chocolate flavour, and mixing it together. It's weird, but it's good."
