How many people noticed that he missed a Pork Pitch during the Salisbury steak info?
Good to see I'm not the only one who noticed he missed it.
+Mazekwon It was torture
They never got their pork chop party
What about Anna Pavlova!!!!!! Famous ballerina who travelled to Aust?
Oh God...I always thought it was "nobody does IT like Sara Lee" which is also true, and not a double negative. They should just switch...
Also, there is much debate going on here. I am Hank...
Who the heck is Hank?
Does John realise that every single time he ends the show he calls it "menopause"?
He didn't put a coin in the bank the 2nd time he said "bacon"...
"It's hard to get a doctor to prescribe the hot beef injections I so desperately need"? Things okay at home?
When I heard that line I paused and came straight to the comments...
Then I read the comments.
@Mental Floss with regards to 6:20 , The slogan is perfectly fine as is. If you were to eliminate the double negative by replacing both words with positive counterparts, it would read: "Everybody does like Sara Lee". Which is again a perfectly fine, if uninteresting slogan.
Huh... I always thought the slogan was "Nobody does it like Sara Lee."
I thought of that as well.
Now I'm confused.
What? Beef Wellington wasn't good enough to make the list?
Betty Crocker isn't real?!?!? My childhood IS a lie!
So we can just say "punintended?"
3:50 you mentioned bacon and didn't put in for the staff pork chop party
@Mental Floss with regards to 6:20 , The slogan is perfectly fine as is. If you were to eliminate the double negative by replacing both words with positive counterparts, it would read: "Everybody does like Sara Lee". Which is again a perfectly fine, if uninteresting slogan.
It makes sense.... buuut it's still a double negative
Still a more interesting slogan than Yoplait's current one: "It is so good."
4:00 John, you are a reasonably smart fellow, however, that is not a pun. sounding it as "nope unintended" grasps at a play on words, but not all wordplays are puns.
"Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee" is litotes, not a double negative.
You missed the coin for the pork mentioned in Salisbury steak
Just sayin
pork chop party
6:34 What are you? a Gay fish?
Christa T Probably Fish >>>>STICKS....
Still funny.
Have a food named after a person that we missed? Tell us during the Hangout at 2p EST (RSVP link in the description). Other comments/questions are welcome too!
Can't make it? Reply to this and we'll try to answer as many questions as possible.
every third time you say "mental floss" i think you are saying "menopause" " welcome to menopause"
Just so you have to put more money in the Staff Pork Chop dinner fund......Mind blowing question... Why is it called bacon?
THE CAKE IS A LIE
A double negative is NOT illegal in English. Children are taught not to use it because so many use it incorrectly. Adults who understand it get to use it for rhetorical purposes.
The a in à la king should have an accent grave.
avait la king :3 We need to put a needle (the accent grave) because you can't say avait. That's how I remembered it.
You're right I am french and I can confirm that it needs a "à"
*obligatory "the cake is a lie" comment*
he mentioned pork when talking about salisbury steak and didnt add a quarter. Thats like one tenth a pork chop that wont be in the pork chop party
Always heard it as “Nobody does it like Sara Lee.”
Guess I’m wrong....
He missed a pork reference when he was talking about salisbury steak. So much for the pork chop party.
😢
He's missed four now in the videos I've watched
Don't forget the hot brown sandwich, it's made with turkey and bacon 🐖
Always learning new stuff. I’ve definitely heard of Nellie Melba (because I’m Australian), but I had no idea she had food named after her.
Kind of bummed Pavlova didn’t make the list.
Aw, no Pavlova? Anna Pavlova would be disappointed.
Exactly my thoughts
The tired me heard "Thank you for watching Menopause." Yep, time to sleep.
Also, the Webster of Merriam Webster hated the British so much, that's why Americans spell some words differently than the British.
Also, Mrs. Fields was a ball girl for the Oakland Athletics in the late-1960's. On a semi-related note, in the mid-1970's, the same team hired a then-teenager named Stanley Burrell to be the owner's "eyes and ears". The players nicknamed him "Hammer" because they thought he looked like MLB legend Hank Aaron. He later became known as "MC Hammer".
You like fish sticks?
what are you, a gay fish?
When he first said it I heard 'fish dicks', and had to back up the video to figure out what I missed. Whoops.
Well, he did say he desperately needs hot beef injections. :-P
If you say "Everybody likes Sara Lee" that implies that everyone in existence likes Sara Lee. If you say "Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee" you're making a more reasonable statement that everyone who has an opinion has a positive or neutral one.
your brothers with hank... i love his channel
I'm surprised that he left out two HUGE ones: Caeser Salad and Beef Wellington
I guess because they're more obvious? Even I could tell you that Caesar salad is named after Mexican chef Caesar Cardini, and that beef Wellington is named in honor of the British general Wellington (who also had a type of boot named after him).
"Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee" is a double negative, however it does have the same meaning as "Everybody does like Sara Lee" which I assume is the slogan's intention.
Uhm... Hot Beef Injections, John? You can't be that naive...
Wait, that's really the motto of Sara Lee? I thought it was "nobody does it..."
Whats wrong with "nobody doesn't like Sara Lee", it means nobody does not, or everybody does, no?
U mentioned bacon 2 times
Betty Crocker is nothing but an alias of the batterwitch! (who isn't real either)
The only reason I came here was to see where pavlova ranks. Surely this was an oversight!
I'm sad you didn't mention that the caear wasn't named after Julius caesar
U forgot the dessert called Napoleon named after the Napoleon Bonaparte
nobody doesn't like sara lee makes sense. should they say nobody likes sara lee?
The double negative is the least of the problems in Sara Lee's slogan. It's also illegal under truth in advertising laws. All I gotta do is fine ONE person who doesn't like Sara Lee (which isn't hard to do), and the CEO of Sara Lee is going to jail. They're lucky I'm a voluntarist.
You're probably correct, though they could just do a Carlsberg by shoving the word probably in there somewhere.
Hot beef injection just sounded so wrong...so, so wrong.
thanks for watching menopause
The cake is a lie
I'd like to compliment Mental Floss as a whole for making it a point to at least TRY to pronounce things correctly. As a native, when I heard "Louisville", I was more than impressed.
Thanks!
I'm pretty surk John was making a joke there. Nobody, not even a child, would ever think Count Chocula was an actual person any more than other breakfast cereal characters like Snap Crackle and Pop of Rice Krisipies or Tony the Tiger.
You forgot the epic Canadian Dish "Poutine". Named for the future Prime Minister of Russia, Vladimir Putin, by a time-travelling French Canadian who would later find it highly amusing comparing the man to a bunch french fries covered in gravy and curds.
great episode, I love how you crush the childhood so quickly at the end.
When John said "Thanks for watching Mental Floss" I could have sworn he said "Thanks for watching menopause" which I found hilarious.
he does that every time. I think he means it 😂😂😂
Anyone notice that he didn't put a coin in the "Porkchop Party Jar" when he said "pork" for Salisbury Steak?
I need a gif of John exploding his brain.
You should do a list of misused words!
I always thought it was "Nobody does it like Sara Lee" :-D
Please...please...PLEASE... tell me where I can acquire that skeleton giraffe. I must have one. My giraffe collection is mourning its absence. Seriously. It's fantastic.
you mentioned pork twice, you forgot aboutt the 20% in the salisbury steak, ANOTHER QUARTER IS NECCISARY!!!! 😤
WAYYYY too fast. Not educational or enjoyable. Also, every time you announce "PORK chop party" you fail to add a 2nd quarter. Apparently rules mean nothing....and what the hell is a "pork chop party" anyway??!!
Wait: What about Frankenberry? He's real, right? RIGHT?
here are some from my country, Hungary:
Újházy chicken soup - named after the cook who made it
Jókai bean soup - named after the famous 19th century novelist who loved it.
Gundel pancakes - named after the restaurant owner who collected special recipes for his business
Dobos cake - named after the pastry chef who created it.
Esterházy cake - named after Prince Paul III Anton Esterházy de Galántha, diplomat and politician in the 19th century.
are those 4pt size name deliberately typed in such small font ?
i am a little bit far sighted and it's getting harder and harder to read the names.... i have to make it fullscreen with 720p reso in order to read them..... god bless my eyes, satan pity my internet banwidth....
The future Mrs. Fields worked for the Oakland A's as a ballgirl. The future MC Hammer worked for the A's as a clubhouse attendant and batboy.
You actually mentioned pork being in salisbury steak meat....AND the bacon in eggs Benedict....so shouldnt that have been 2 quarters for the stuffed porkchop party? You only added 1! Youre cheating yourself!
Hey John!! Here is another one for you. In Chile Barros Luco Sandwich is named after Ramon Barros Luco, Chilean president in 1910. The sandwich includes beef and cheese.
Also. Check ou the documentary "In search of General Tso" or something like that.
I 💩 you not,there's a documentary about "General Tso's"chicken
What about Crepe Suzettes? Baby Ruth (named for Pres. Roosevelt's daughter)? Caesar Salad? The Rueben sandwich?
This list is great, but could've been much longer!
Am I the only one who always though the Sara Lee slogan was “Nobody does it like Sara Lee”?
Tbh I’ve never even heard “Nobody doesn’t like Sara Lee”.
Pavlova. If you don't know the difference between Australian and New Zealand pavlova, well it means you aren't from those countries.
What about mayonnaise? Mahon-aise? Sorry, had to. >w< I love your show, Mr. Green (and all of the behind-the camera helper peoples)!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Aunt Jemima isn't real?! Sunday morning flap jacks will never be the same.
Actually Mrs. Butterworth was a real person. She was a black slave who’s name and likeness were used without consent or compensation. I am friends with her great-niece.
Hot beef injection huh?
You DO know what that means in slang DONT you
John, you lived in North Carolina, why are you pronouncing Salisbury differently?
Uncle Ben?
That is not melba toast regardless of what it says on the packet
Toast a piece of thick bread under the grill on Both sides
Remove the crust
Split the bread so you now have 2 untoasted sides
Remove any bobbly bits of bread
Toast the uncooked side
Melba Toast is now yours, good with soup
There is a Jemima in the Biblical Book of Job. I expect she was someone’s aunt.
Food was invented by Thomas Foodington when he tried to use a chemical complex of protein, carbs, and fats to energize himself.
He was a pioneer.
although he got the eggs benedict pork party fund; he failed to realize that he said pork was in Salisbury steak. Maybe he can only do one quarter per video or he just missed it but I thought I'd point it out.
But “nobody doesn’t like …” is a correct use of a double negative.
If hydrogen is combustible and oxygen is required for fire why isnt water flammable?
Poor Amos got ripped off and his cookie business all but stolen from him because he was illiterate.
The earl of sandwich story is actually mostly untrue. Plus it was technically made long before that, either by greek or roman soldiers for convinient eating, just like the earl.
Another one that I found out recently .... The famous Caesar salad is not named after the Roman imperial title, but after a restauranteur Caesar Cardini, an Italian immigrant.
John says he desperately needs a Hot beef injection... is that double entendre? Btw more bacon for the staff pork party in the brown sandwich. Hmmm, Pork party, more innuendo?
French toast was invented in 1724 by Joseph French. Not associated with the country at all.
Count dracula was a real person that did actually lived in Transylvania in the 150century dracula the in-paler
Mary Butterworth actually was a real person in early 18th century colonial America. She was originally a counterfeiter who, while never caught, was watched by the authorities closely enough to give up on her life of crime to go into catering.
I scrolled through the comments section waiting for Homestuck posts and I was not disappointed.
Every time you say "thank you for watching Mental-Floss" I hear it "thank you for watching Menopause" and get weirded out for like 2 seconds before I realize.
Hank is a cute furry mammal kept as a pet, that loves to sleep in too small boxes and lie on your homework. Hank is also in a high percentage of youtube videos.
A double negative isn't wrong. I can say "I didn't not like it", meaning "I didn't dislike it" but doesn't mean "I liked it". Similarly, "Nobody doesn't like Sarah Lee" means "Nobody dislikes Sarah Lee". Double negatives are only a problem when they are contrary to your intended meaning, and even then, they are usually only a problem with you're a pedantic dork.... which I am...
"Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee" technically doesn't contain a double negative. By definition, those are sentences in which two negative words are used as a single instance of negation (like "I didn't see nobody" meaning "I didn't see anybody". When the two words represent independent instances of negation, it is grammatical (albeit awkward). Here, you can't replace the sentence with "Nobody likes Sara Lee" and maintain the same meaning. So the sentence is grammatically correct.
"As long as" was originally part of the longer phrase "for as long as", where "long" referred to time, not distance, eg; "My foot has been hurting for a long time. For as long as it continues to hurt, I won't run." The meaning then was "for such time as", or more simply "while".
When people shortened it by omitting the word "for" it became less obvious that this conditional only applied to ongoing things, and so people also began using the phrase for one-time conditions to mean "if".
Maybe, maybe not, but how would you get any doctor to provide some really expensive to do treatment, like a 16-hour long one-of-a-kind surgery by 6 doctors and using gallons of drugs to keep you alive for the duration, if they are not going to get paid more than the cost of 3 doctors and a cup of drugs for it.
The trick used in other countries is to negotiate the price list between the insurance company association and the doctors association.
An American physician, Dr. J. H. Salisbury. In the original recipe the steak was mince beef round steak.invented by the Dr for patients who had poor teeth. The only reason that the USDA has to regulate the recipe is because if they didn't food manufactures would get away with as much cheap filler items as they can otherwise.
Remember the usually only reason a regulation exists is because someone took advantage of someone else. Also a book called The Jungle.
everything emits light when cooling, an effect of photons being emitted from electrons as they return to their resting orbitals. Normally this is in the infrared spectrum, which is why infrared is used to see heat, but as the electrons have a greater change in energy, the spectrum shifts into the visible area, first red, then orange, and probably yellow if great enough...
