Settling the ULTIMATE DUPES Debate! (Better than OG's?!)

Settling the ULTIMATE DUPES Debate! (Better than OG's?!)

Author: Dub & Nectorious Papi November 12, 2024 Duration: 39:39

Dupes have taken social media, the internet and the world by storm, so today we’re diving into the rising trend of finding budget-friendly alternatives to the originals.


We dive into the original dupes of when we were a kid, like home brands from Coles and Woolworths, along with Costco and Aldi joining the folds to possibly be the King of dupes! We ask what makes you buy a dupe, is it better value or just simple curiosity? We’ll cover popular dupe categories like cereals, spreads, and sodas as we reveal our favourite products and try them live on air!


We answer questions like why dupes are becoming so popular, where to find the best dupes and which ones live up to the hype from Biscoff, to Nutella!

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when people who are genuinely obsessed with food get together, and that's exactly what you'll find on The Food Guys Podcast. Hosts Dub and Nectorious Papi don't just review meals; they dive headfirst into the entire universe of what we eat. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at a lively table where the topics range from breaking down the latest fast-food menu item to heated debates about beloved or despised ingredients. The discussion is always grounded in a real passion-they love to talk about food just as much as they love to eat it. You'll hear more than just their opinions, though. They regularly bring other voices into the mix, from well-known names in the food industry to local business owners and fellow food lovers. These conversations are packed with the hosts' natural chemistry, which means plenty of laughter, friendly banter, and the occasional good-natured argument. Tuning into this podcast is like getting an insider's look at food culture, served with a side of humor and genuine curiosity. It’s a show for anyone who thinks about their next meal while they’re still eating the current one.
