Jimmy Doherty turns his attention to the foods we should all probably avoid: snacks. He starts by trying to crack the secret recipe of fizzy cola. Experts say the flavour includes lavender and coriander as well as orange, lime and lemon. After a supermarket taste test, Jimmy attempts to mix his own cola syrup and inject some fizz. He also tries to work out how to turn a humble potato into a hoop you can fit on your finger, as well as twirls and other shaped snacks.

Inside his barn, Jimmy’s snack food production line consists of drainpipe, a hand-mincer and a water cooler bottle. How will they help him reveal the secrets behind our favourite snack foods?

Jimmy then visits the biggest ice-cream factory in the world in his quest to discover the secret ingredient that makes ice-cream the only food you can eat straight from the freezer. He also visits one of the world’s largest potato chip factories to discover how they make sure every chip is crunchy.
