Last season was a weird season. The show was pulled in a multitude of directions. It had to simultaneously be a normal season of *SNL* while also celebrating the show’s milestone 50th season while also incorporating a presidential election in the United States. (**Dana Carvey** refused to go home for a lengthy chunk of the season.) But this weekend’s **Bad Bunny** episode? It feels like we’re back to what *SNL* should be. We had a host who seems to thrive on the *SNL* stage. We got to see veteran *SNL* cast members mix it up with a handful of new additions. And we got just the right amount of celebrity cameos in a way that didn’t steal the spotlight. This episode was Bad Bunny’s second time hosting *SNL*. Even more impressively, he became the first person to either host or be the musical guest in back-to-back episodes of the show after closing out Season 50 as [the musical guest during **Scarlett Johansson**’s episode](https://www.theomnicosm.com/snl-closes-out-season-50-with-scarlett-johansson-no-clues-about-future-of-the-cast/).

They’re a perfect candy, brought to us through [the magic of science and marketing](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/29/us/nerds-gummy-clusters.html?ref=theomnicosm.com). It doesn’t matter [which flavor we’re talking about](https://www.theomnicosm.com/tag/nerds-gummy-clusters/) — and I’ve tried them all — Nerds Gummy Clusters are never not a huge hit. But now, in the waning days of 2025, I bring you news that the folks over at Ferrera have somehow made Nerds Gummy Clusters even better. I introduce to you **Nerds Juicy Gummy Clusters**.
