Hiding Treats from Your Partner Segment Recap: Are You a Snack Hider?

Key Moments:

šŸ§ Barnesā€™ Snack Struggles:

  • His go-to snack? Nugo Chocolate Pretzel protein bars.
  • He hides them because his wife raids the stash.
  • Hiding spots already busted:
    • Back of the fridge āœ…
    • Top pantry shelf āœ…
    • Filing cabinet āœ… (his wife found it mid-lie and took a bar!)
  • Desperate measures include faking an Amazon recall notice.
