    Oh, the joy of sitting in class with a secret roll up plastered to the roof of your mouth... that's been stuck since lunch.

      Ya know speaking of the narrators, I wish they'd be more transparent about them, it's weird that neither of them get credited anywhere, at least that I can see? I also am curious if the narrators write the episodes or are just hired on as narrators and that's it?
      I like both narrators just fine though personally, I'd say I'm surprised people don't like this narrator but I guess folks will find any reason they can to hate on a woman.

      It was a shock to having the second (female) voice at first a while ago on the normal weird history channel, but I got used to it and her voice is fine to me. However they do have a newer 3rd voice (not this video) that sounds similar but off to the original narrator, but I have suspicions that voice is AI

    Which is a good thing, btw. It shows there is an actual team behind weird history rather than just one person with a voice. (not saying there ever was, I'm just stating the vibe)
    Keep up the good work. Don't listen to the haters.

    At 1:22, "fruit leather." Yes indeed! That's what my family called it In the early 80s when my mother made it from the apricots and raspberries she grew in our garden. A roll of fruit leather was pretty much the kids' equivalent of chewing tobacco. Tear off a strip, wad it up, put it in your cheek, and let it dissolve in your mouth over the next half hour or so. Excellent stuff! Fruit Roll-Ups became big when I was in middle school, so I always thought of it as a inferior copy of Mom's homemade creation. Love ya, Mom!!!

    I think the first time I had a fruit roll up was when I got one for Halloween in my bag of guesses an screams.
    I don't remember what flavor it was, but i remember being thoroughly unimpressed with everything about it.
    I guess because my grandmother used to dehydrate fruit and purees some of it was like fruit leather, she would bring all these preserved winter supplies over and my mother being gracious would do her damnedest to find room for it all...
    Obviously there was a bag or Tupperware full of mixed dried fruit on the table for every meal.
    As kids we liked it, but the pounds and pounds of heavy boxes of dried puree, each fruit leather leaf was a different fruit and separated by a well cut square of butcher paper, thicker than you could roll, at least well.
    Plum, apricot, mango, pear, cherry, gooseberry, tomato, and others just not apple. She didn't like Apple's...go figure lol
