Can confirm that you can slip on a banana, a friend of mine did it while we were in university and walking down the road. He was genuinely angry; "That only happens in cartoons!"
@@HappyBeezerStudios Yeah, but there are much more interesting and very rare minerals, some of which must be auctioned if lucky. But luckily beauty in stones lies in their appearance and imperfections or perfection, depending on taste, for me the best ones for unique jewellery are those which you find personally 🎉
Gosh this episode seems to be quite a cornerstone of the my childhood for no reason. I think it's just cause they made a whole floor of slipper things for the experiment. I was gasping for air watching it on tv!
What's with Robert Lee's narration being only on the LEFT CHANNEL? Kinda'anoying being like that and low volume, as well. I love his work; BEST PUNS ON TV EVER! It's so aPEELing to me....
Weirdly enough, one of my favorite ones is the slippery-slide test. I laughed the first time I watched it - laughed just as hard now (who cares about the narrator sounding wonky) Question: what happened to Tory's face in the "talking-moment"-moments?
Always wondered why Grant chose a method that uses acid to extract diamonds. Strong acids can corrode diamonds and also sublimate the carbon in diamonds. There is an alternate theory on how large, jewelry grade diamond is formed. Large meteor strikes from the distant past.
This might've been uploaded only a few months ago, but the episode existed well before crafting RUclipsrs became a thing - let alone the expensive and highly specific sub-niche of blacksmithing.
Double dipping is a real problem. I was visiting an olive oil factory with a group. At the end we got some bread to dip in different types of olive oil. Most people dip just once, but then there were some who went back in the bowl with their half chewed bread. It was really disgusting, I didn't want to go after these people. How do they not know you're not supposed to do that in public? So stupid
They do that because they understand it really isn't a problem at all. You exchange more germs with those people just by being in the same room with them than you ever could through dipping. So, since the problem is entirely with your perception and not with health or hygiene, they aren't at fault and there's no reason to change. How do you not know? Have you ever shaken hands with someone for a greeting? With the same hands you later use to touch yourself? Ever used a door knob? Been among other people at all? That's healthy. Your body needs that to keep your immune system up to date and in working order. Most of your digestion and much of your immune system is done by bacteria. They aren't bad, they're vital to your survival. Only some will make you sick, and even that only if you keep deliberately underdeveloping your immune system.
The peel itself of a banana might not be that slippery but if theres a bit of fruit left in it that part can be surprisingly slippy Also it getting squished probably creates just enough of a drop that its harder to correct your balance
Exactly! The Gros Michel banana was larger than the Cavandish and it had a much thicker peel. (The variety was popular because it was hardy could withstand shipping better than other cultivars.)
Tbh I'm 20 years old I have been watching before i was 6 (yes for some reason I remember only f1 memories from that age)and the things that made it special in my mind was the sport the smell of gasoline the balls someone needed to drive the cars the lack of mindless arguing aka anything that doesn't exist today
I think they should have laid the banana peels down flat so the two slippery sides got against each other as opposed to splayed open. Also Jamie was walking/running like a person scared of slipping not like a real world walk/run
For bananas.. if they made a road with several bananas and blindfolded the other 3.. to walk there without knowing what is wrong.. might ended better on first try.
Man, it's not banana on the floor. It's banana on banana which is slippery. You just squash the banana if it's like a sea-star on the floor. But you fall if stand on a banana lying it's "covers" one against another. You just checked a "cartoon" myth.
Double dipping is still wrong. It's the principle of the thing, it might already have bacteria but it isn't your bacteria, might as well let you kiss me on the mouth!
They did the double dip thing completely wrong tbh, it's not that one single double dip would be as bad as the whole mouth but to keep consistently double dipping with several chips while pigging out would easily add up to be as bad as the whole mouth bacteria.
I would love to see the slippery test compared to something like Anal lube, i know this stuff and the birth agent and i think lube is a bit more slippery. Okay, but its also a lot more expensive.
This myth comes from medieval times when people used to just throw their garbage out on to the street, and the banana skins where there for weeks, when they start to rot, they turn into slime, thats when they become ridiculously slippery, but cartoonists always try to make things look 'nice' so they drew freshly peeled, yellow banana skins, which is why people get confused by the myth thinking that bananas aren't really that slippery.

It's definitely confirm, because I did it once... ="=
I've slipped mutliple times as a kid, learned to never step on them again. idk how myth busters agree to come to such ridiculous conclusions
Stepping on a rake and it hitting you apparently is real too.
That shockwave is a work of art
Yeah, I never noticed the upper "flashes" that occured before the shock wave reached that space before.
Diamonds are not expensive because they are rare (they really are not), but because their distribution is heavily controlled (De Beers)!
They're also expensive because they are heavily marketed. Back in ye olde days, they weren't an incredibly valuable stone, especially colorless ones.
@@btf_flotsam478 and then came the jewellery industry "hey, how about a diamond for your wedding"
@@HappyBeezerStudios Yeah, but there are much more interesting and very rare minerals, some of which must be auctioned if lucky.

The clear diamond crystal are decently rare.
Also they now control only 60% of the diamonds mining
@@bonnome2 Only 60%!?
That's not an "only"... Even if it is less than before. 60% of an entire industry is enormous.
tory touching the metal cylinder they exploded after the guy said 'watch out its hot' is so funny
I’m shocked the fake 5 minute crafts “peanut butter diamond” is that old, and has been debunked so long ago
20:38 Tory would also make a good Jackass Member 🤣
He is a honorary Jackass member, he has a guest appearance in Jackass Forever
These episodes were like vacations for the staff.
Well except for the hundreds of bananas that needed peeling...
6:10 🤔 Just got that laying around huh?
I think even Adam was caught off guard 😂
the m5 team had their potassium intake that day
mythbusters = big bada BOOM💥💥💥💥
I love all the people in the bunker at the school of mines. It's like "Yeah, we've seen this before" they just stare at their screens or have a chat.
Not a perfect fix, but if you enable "Mono" in your sound settings it improves significantly
What's even funnier is that I got an external DAC so I can't even hear the narrator until I put it in mono

🤷🏽♂️ I just force it to mono and its cherry
"It's acid flashback time." S-tier pun.
What's with the audio?
Weirdly enough, one of my favorite ones is the slippery-slide test. I laughed the first time I watched it - laughed just as hard now (who cares about the narrator sounding wonky)
Question: what happened to Tory's face in the "talking-moment"-moments?
That man is called Van Romero and makes diamonds with explosives, he's definitely the deuteragonist of an action movie.
If the banana was left to start rotting it becomes incredibly slippery !
As a kid I already did the banana peel slip
I dropped a banana peel on the floor and stepped on it (with nothing to protect myself)
I did slip fr
I love when Grant gets into character
i love how the narrator is in the next room to your left.

"a diamond seed" lol
HG Wells wrote a short story 'The Diamond Maker' back in the 1890's...
I wonder what they did with all those bananas...makes me kind of want a banana split now 😂
"We don't have a foundry at Mythbusters"
I'm honestly shocked. The amount of RUclipsrs who own foundries is innumerable

Olive oil has antibacterial properties anyway so you're not going to catch anything.
@@xXturbo86Xx Yeah but would you still like some random persons spit in your mouth? On second thought maybe dont answer that...
Ewwwww!

- Will the chips be edible after sterilization?
- Oh yeah, maybe just will taste a little funny
*PUTS THE CHIPS INTO RADIOACTIVE REACTOR*
Why is the audio mix absolutely jacked on this episode? Narrator panned hard left and the rest of the sound panned right? Really bizarre audio mix
I once slipped on a banana for real, I was alone in the kitchen, it was funny.
Jamie, your "funky" Mustache is so cool and make s You look nice. Dont hide Your smile dude
28:21 They used the wrong type of banana. They used "cavandish" bananas and not "grand michels", whose were the ones who started this myth.
Exactly! The Gros Michel banana was larger than the Cavandish and it had a much thicker peel. (The variety was popular because it was hardy could withstand shipping better than other cultivars.)
They missed dipping the chip only once to control for any bacteria your hand and the chip may add
Back to bad audio again 😥
Only on full screen
@@thuliocavalcante huh?
Honestly how does the the Mythbusters channel in India get the audio right
Oh I thought I was having ear problems. Rofl. Glad to hear it's not just me.
They don't care, as soon as you clicked they got a view and that's the goal.
Tbh I'm 20 years old I have been watching before i was 6 (yes for some reason I remember only f1 memories from that age)and the things that made it special in my mind was the sport the smell of gasoline the balls someone needed to drive the cars the lack of mindless arguing aka anything that doesn't exist today

What happened to Tory’s eye?
Oh, those blue masks we've come to hate! 😀

My audio is fine except the narratorz can barely hear him
prophecy: destruction comes from north
I think to need to rethink where you buy your dip from now on
“Primates and people alike” is the same as saying “canids and dogs alike”. It’s a nonsense.
On headphones all your RUclips-Uploads are a pain as the narrator is only on the left speaker.
Your device will often have a mono audio mode in accessibility settings.
@@Henipah the whole video is stereo. Only the narrator is mono. And you tell me its my headset. Nice one.
@@bloodrone I just mean if it’s bothering you you can switch on the mono setting and you’ll hear it in both ears.
That wooden tube wasn’t remotely close to 20 foot tall

Bannaners are too fresh
You still don’t double-dip.
Na ya triple dip!
Really appreciate you uploading the episodes but, ffs, would you fix the goddamn audio?
It's been like this for weeksnow, and it really isnt hard.
I would love to see the slippery test compared to something like Anal lube, i know this stuff and the birth agent and i think lube is a bit more slippery.
Okay, but its also a lot more expensive.
They want to take something literally, which is dumb, and yet instead of "putting your mouth in the dip" they literally spit it out. What the hell?
Audio is fine on my end
The audio literally made me puke
use headphones
@@hypermonk33y56 even worse that way
It literally did not.
Why does it sound stupid on full screen?
The audio is really crappy!!!!
ıts must be from 2000s
Ain't from 1900s
Why is the audio so f#&@ed??? Its unwatchable...
