WARNING: We do go quite blue at the end of this episode, so if you don't want to hear that kind of potty talk, you may want to skip the very end of the fried potato rankings.

- Here's Becky's recipe for tater tot casserole! And here's that spicy tofu sandwich.
- The vegan ranch dressings we mentioned were Simple Truth brand and this cashew ranch.
- The full name of this week's snack, as listed on the package, is: "Lay's Wavy Funions Onion Flavored Funions Onion Flavored Rings".
- This is the episode where we got a letter packed with epic suggestions for vegan food in Athens, GA, as well.
