We hear top fives from a few awesome listeners, and a couple psuedo-celebrities, like Patton Oswalt.

Carrie (R) and Amy (L) let us know that they are serious candy enthusiasts, and so they’re providing us with their top five candy bars of 2006.

#5 – Abba-Zaba Bar — Chewy Taffy with a Peanut Butter Center. “A satisfying, toothsome experience.” Reccomend in the halloween “fun” size.

#4 – Curly-Wurly — braided caramel covered in chocolate. A British import, worth finding. Particularly good when refrigerated and smashed.

#3 – Kit Kat White Chocolate – a special edition that’s been “mainstreamed”

SPECIAL TASTE TEST OF HERSHEY’S FAST BREAK

(note that the difference between #s 1 and 2 was within the margin of error)

#2 – Take Five Bar — hailed for including a salty pretzel

#1 – Butterfinger crisp — the wafers cut the intensity of Butterfinger to great effect

An extensive discussion follows of C&K’s habit of calling companies who make products they really like. C&K had a great time talking to the lady on the Nutella help line, and got a lot of cool stuff in the mail. We all point out that we’d love to get free stuff from any of the companies picked as top five, and we would love in particular to podcast from Annabelle Candy in Hayward or Hershey’s in Hershey, PA.

Jordan explains that while he really loves video games, he is also extremely miserly. Thus this segment is born. Our guest is Heather Campbell from Play Magazine.

Jesse says all of his picks are Katamary Damacy.

Jordan’s Picks
#5 Devil May Cry III – As Japanese and Crazy as Katamari is Japanese and Cute.

#4 Donkey Kong Jungle Beat – In this “2D Platformer,” you control a monkey using a pair of bongo drums as your controller, which is pretty much all you need to know. We discuss the crazy ideas of the Nintendo company.

#3 Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater – “The Metal Gear games have two things in spades: great ideas and bullshit.”

#2 Ultimate Spiderman – Swing around for hours on end.

#1 God of War – Pornographic violence, pornographic pornography.

Heather’s Picks
#5 Street Fighter Collection – Combines several Street Fighter variants, costs only $14.99. Includes “Third Strike,” which Heather says is the best Street Fighter game.

#4 Orbital – Simpler, but addictive. Available only as an import.

#3 Killer Seven (Jesse cuts her off before she even talks about it, whutta jerk)

#2 God Hand – Like Streets of Rage, and lots of fun.

#1 Katamari Damacy – Of course!
