We Ate These Foods for Luck… Did We Just Ruin Our Year?

Hello and welcome to our show. What do black-eyed peas, cornbread, and 12 grapes have in common? Apparently… luck, prosperity, and a solid shot at a great New Year 🍀😄

In this episode, we kick things off by taste-testing New Year’s good-luck foods from around the world — from classic Southern staples to traditions that promise luck one grape at a time (yes, we ate all 12 🍇).

Then things get a little deeper as we ask:
 👉 What years of your life will you look back on and say, “Those were the best”?
The answers might surprise you — and probably hit close to home.

We wrap it all up by looking ahead and asking a bold question:
 🇺🇸 Which American traditions do people think might fade away over time?
From everyday habits to cultural staples, we debate what’s changing and what might stick around.

It’s food, memories, laughs, and a little future-predicting — all in one episode.
 Hit play, grab a snack, and let’s ring in the New Year together 🎊
