Hi guys! Welcome to Show Notes for Episode #20. Is it ‘What Comes Around, Goes Around’! Or ‘What Goes Around, Comes Around’? Whichever way you say it, this episode is all about things that have been gone forever and have somehow made a comeback! Not only that, we have a crash course in the Snickers Candy Bar history, a little ‘Snickers 101? if you will, about every limited edition flanker European edition that you never knew existed. Canadians are able to enjoy ’Snickers Maple’? We like it.
At The Because Show podcast, we are devoted to providing not only amusing entertainment for your ears, but also useful info for your brain! With Wikipedia as our source, we discover that a myriad of Snickers have been unleashed over the last decade. For example:

If you listened to the entirety of Episode 20, you heard the amazing story of Fast Eddie, the news of the upcoming tour of Van Halen and Peter Frampton and the new single from Brandi/Monica ‘It All Belongs To Me’. It’s been 14 years since Bronica dropped a single, 14 years since Van Halen toured and 35 years since Peter Frampton released ‘Frampton Comes Alive’. Do you remember when that Brandy/Monica song came out? Did you used to listen (or still listen) to Van Halen? Would you rat out your meanie father-in-law if you discovered he was a notorious bank robber? Do you believe that Peter Frampton was reunited with his beloved guitar 32 years after it was lost in a plane crash?
It’s not all news & commentary though -there are personal stories to throw down. Perhaps you have a funny story or salacious tale you would like to share with us? Shoot us an email at thebecauseshow@gmail.com and we’ll read it on an upcoming episode. Perhaps you just want to give a shout-out to something you’ve noticed that has gone around and come around? Go for it!
Soooooo, we’re pretty much at the end of our Show Notes. This is where we wrap it up and say goodbye until the next episode.
