The Crumbl cookie brand is offering an Olivia Rodrigo inspired cookie in the Twin Cities Metro area and Alyssa had to secure it and plonk away at these xylophone keys.

Alyssa discusses the merit of a 16 oz can of anything, especially Wild Berry Poppi. And a slower Xylophone Break, this time.

Subway released three new "sidekicks" - footlong churros, pretzels, and chocolate chip cookies - and Alyssa tries them all!

As we know following this most recent year (especially in film), pink goes with everything. Apparently including produce.

After much finger crossing and Ebay cruising, Alyssa secures a teeny bag of novelty Mustard Skittles released over the summer.

After a months long hiatus, Alyssa is back to describe the McDonald's Holiday Pie - after it eluded her for literal years.

Alyssa heads back into the wilderness to forage for lilacs to make this flavored seasonal drink. Is it worth the time and labor? Is it even GOOD? We'll see/hear.

Usually Alyssa will swipe whatever most chaotic item from the grocery store SHELF, but this week she's gone straight into the wilderness to forage for a snack. This week's episode features a review of dandelion fritters, based on the recipe by Blackforager on Instagram.

Another corner of Tiktok has proved too intriguing to ignore in this episode of Xylophone Break. Videos featuring water "recipes" made by mixing flavored powders and syrups have become popular, and serve as this week's topic.

Before we know it, Summer 2023 will have arrived and this week's Xylophone Break is here to ensure we aren't overwhelmed with new ice cream offerings, reviewing the current most prominent ones. This episode covers McDonald's new Strawberry Shortcake McFlurry, DQ's Churro Dipped Cone, Talenti Mini Sorbetto bars, and Tiktok's popular Fruit Roll Up and ice cream hack.
