Banana Scans & Bacon Toothpaste: Tangent Station Unleashed

This episode is a freewheeling mash-up of offbeat banter, nostalgia and a running litany of terrible inventions. Our hosts riff on everything from Crystal Pepsi, Jolt Cola and Segways to Google Glasses and QR-code menus — skewering the logic (or lack of it) behind each idea. They weave in personal asides about tattoos, childhood heroes, road-trip listening, and the perils of self-checkout. Expect toilet humor, product deep-dives like bacon- and pickle-flavored toothpastes, and a recurring “joke grenade” that lands later. It’s messy, irreverent, and intentionally all over the tracks — in the best Tangent Station tradition.
