Ugh, what a day.

First, there was a fire drill
during story time,

then, at recess, I got hit
in the head with a ball...

but it was a tether ball,

so I got hit in the head
again and again and again!

Ugh. First grade is tough.

Hmm, I know what you need...

♪♪

Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh,
oh, my gosh!

The snack that won't bite back!

Craig's Spideys!

Yay, my friends!

Thanks, Craigy!

Get ready, creek, because
I'm definitely going to win

that competition.

It's the moment you snackheads
have been waitin' for!

Contestants from all around
the creek

have gathered here to compete

in the ultimate
culinary challenge...

To make the best
after-school snack!

But only one will rise to the
top and take the grand prize...

Having your snack featured here,
at the Trading Tree,

for an entire month!

Including a share
of the profits!

[ Coughs ] 1%.

I'm your host, Kit!
And welcome...

to the after-school snackdown!

[ Cheering ]

This year, I'm joined
by two celebrity guest judges.

First up, he's an influencer
with a very dedicated WeTube

following that just hit
double digits!

[ Ding! ]

The host of
"Taste Test with JP," JP!

Aw, thanks, everybody!

I give this crowd eight
belly freckles outta ten!

Also on the panel,

you know him as the winner
of season 2.

He's a master on the blacktop

and the garden.

Ahh.

Give it up for Toman![ Chuckles ]

It's an honor for everyone
to have their snacks

judged by me... the Toman,

AKA the snack daddy!

AKA the taste tester
with the best taste.

AKA the finger
lickin' greatest...
Okay!

Are you ready to snack?!

[ Cheering ]

Oh, man, my first time
competing in a snackdown!

I'm excited to try everyone
else's snack, of course,

but I know my masterpiece
is a shoo-in to win-in.

Someone's going home today,

and it's not gonna be
ya boy Craigy.

Well, I mean we're all
going home today,

for dinner, obviously, but...

You know what I mean.

My man Craig got this
in the bag.

I believe in him 120%.

Let's welcome
our first contestant...

[ All coughing ]

It is I... Yustice,

leader of the ninja kids.

Witness the absolute
perfection of...

my gurt-sicle!

Whenever I visit my obaa-chan,
which is every Friday,

her fridge is packed with
these amazing yogurt drinks!

I pop a stick-o-cookie
in the top,

put it in the freezer,

and turn it into the best
frozen treat ever!

Whoa, liked and subscribed.

This snack is the coolest!

AKA a chiller thriller.

AKA Frosty the ohhh-man.

You know, I already trade
plenty of ice pops.

So if this one's gonna move,
it's gotta be unbelievable...

and it is.

It's just an ice pop,
how good could it be?

This ice pop...

the texture!

The refreshing flavor!

It's... It's...

Pretty okay, I guess.

But I'm still gonna catch
the judges up in my web.

Craigy boy's got this 98%.

Okay, maybe 93%.

What a chilling first entry,

but can our next contestant
break the ice?

Up next, you know them
as the manager

of our local creek daycare!

They watch your annoying
siblings so you don't have to.

Give it up for Angel!

Hey, Angel! Good luck!

I didn't come here
to make friends, Craig.

[ Gasps ]

[ Scoffs ]

My esteemed judges,
I brought for you today

my famous crunch-arella sticks.

Are those mozzarella sticks?

You know these are supposed
to be snacks

you make yourself, right?

Oh, but I did.

[ All gasp ]

You see,
I love mozzarella sticks,

but I'm not allowed to use
the oven without my parents,

and they get home late...

So I found a work-around!

I start by crunching up
some molten crunchies.

Then I place some string cheese
on top

and microwave it
for a few seconds,

just until the cheese is gooey
but not completely melted.

Then I roll them around
until they're super coated...

and presto!

Crunch-arella sticks!

Mmm! [ Panting ]

So cheesy, but so spicy!

Yeah, this is a two-for-one deal
if I ever seen one!

What do you think, Toman?

♪♪

[ Both gasp ]

[ Winces ]

[ Gulps ]

You call that a snack?

Because I call that...

a masterpiece!

Ah!

What?! They got the fist bump?

The crunch of your snack gave me
that punch in the mouth,

but the gooey cheese was like
a mother's kiss on a boo-boo.

Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh!

Ahh!

Mom? I got the fist bump!

Angel's Mom: Ay, mija,
we're so proud of you!

What show are you on again?

Craig: This... This flavor...

How could it be as hot
as the sun itself?

Ahhh!

And then, suddenly...

there's nothing.

Nothing but a universe
of creamy cheese.

Is this what it feels like
to understand

the true infinity of flavor?

Mmmm...

[ Coughs ] Like I said before,

he has like a, uh, 75% chance
of winning.

Our next contestant is one
of the brilliant minds

of the Alliance of Science...
Faraday!

My ami only allows us
one after-school snack,

so I've packed as much as I can
into a single serving.

Behold, a snack with
the sugary density

of a Chocoroll
to the 15th power...

the sucrose collider!

Wow!

What is it made out of?

It's quite simple, you see.

A Bitter Baby soaked for


rolled in sugarstick crystals,

and then we encase the chaos
in agar gelatin!

Hmm...

Good tongue feel.

I want to do a dramatic fake-out
like everyone else did...

but I can't.

This was a really
great sna-a-a-ack!

♪♪

I can't believe it.

Faraday perfectly harnessed
the power of science

to create
something more flavorful

than I could ever imagine!

That...

was really good.

I don't know how to break it
to Craig.

[ Chuckles ] I mean,
I told him going in

he had maybe a 50% chance
of winning, so...

I don't understand.

How about we bring
in our next contestant.

The ruler
of the subterranean realm...

Her highness, the Sewer Queen!

Greetings, land dwellers...

Today I have for you a dish
I have dubbed...

the pan de fish!

Whenever my mom goes back
home to the Philippines,

she brings back...

Little Lolo's peanut butter!

It's extra creamy and sweet,

and impossible to get it
out here in Herkleton!

I spread it on top of a pandesal
and top it with a gummy fish!

A snack fit for a Sewer Queen.

I've heard of a PB&J,
but a PB and gummy fish?

She did it.

She made a peanut
butter sandwich better!

The fluffiness of the bread...

the creaminess of the PB...

the gumminess of the gummy...

- so good...
- So good.

So good.

I don't know why Craig
even thought

he could win the competition.

Frankly, I am pretty embarrassed
to be here.

It's over.

I guess it's time
to accept my fate.

Thanks for listening, Mortimer.
Please do me a solid,

just cut the parts
where I cried.

[ Tweets ]

And... finally, we have the
map maker extraordinaire,

Craig!

Ew, what are these?

Craig: Um...

Pretzels and chocolate.

I-I call them Craig's Spideys.

These chocolate pretzels
are kinda melty.

- Yeah, Craig... it is Craig, isn't it?
- -

aren't spiders supposed
to have eight legs?

Look, it's just something
simple I make for my sister.

You see, on Jessica's
first day of kindergarten,

one of the kids took her snacks.

So I decided to create a snack

that no kid
would want to take...

A scary spider.

Ever since then, it's been
Jessica's favorite snack.

Kit: Okay.

I'm not sure if the salt
I'm tasting

is from the pretzels
or from my tears...

but I love it! [ Sobs ]

Really? But... they're not
as cool as everyone else's.

I already heard that story.

You told me right after
it happened,

but it still gets me!
[ Sobbing ]

I agree. Your snack told a story
to our tongues and our hearts.

Hashtag Toman Wisdom.

There's elegance
in a simple equation!

Sometimes what makes a food best

is sharing it with other people.

It's so sweet that you'd make
something like this for Jessica.

Oh, so we only like
little sisters?

No love for grandmas?

Five chefs stand before me,
but only one will be called

the winner
of the after-school snackdown!

This year...

the winner...

of the snackdown is...

Hold up! You forgot about me!

The beloved character Roger!

The bridge troll!

Remember?

[ Laughing ]

I present cereal sludge!

Made from the milk
from my cereal!

Yeah, no way the judges
are gonna go for that.

Cereal sludge!

Get your cereal sludge!

Get it while
it's room temperature!

Mmm!

Wow, I can't believe
this stuff actually won.

I mean, it looked kinda weird,

but it had a unique tang.

Heya, Kit!
I got a fresh batch for ya!
