    my father and i were walking along a beach in Australia and came across a little box washed up on the shore. dad flipped the box over and there were dozens of these disgusting looking creatures attached to the box. we took photos and threw the box back in the water. When we got home he did research on them to find that there was about $300 of delicious gooseneck barnacles! never forget them again

    Yes, Indiana Jones was an icon who made wearing a hat cool again; however, Indy wore a fedora hat made by the Herbert Johnson Hat Co. of Bond Street, London- not a Stetson as inferred by your piece on Stetson cowboy hats.

    You should do a video on Analogman "King of Tone" guitar pedal. Usually there is a three year waiting list to buy one. I got on the list in March of 2018 and am still waiting. It is one of the most exclusive and desired guitar pedals in the world. You may only ever buy one, and it is instantly worth 4x what you pay for it. However, I will never sell mine when I get it.

    • @SirSnails417

      Because the stock is made from some rare wood grown in the garden once housed by a horse that once looked like a frog. It's still a tool. A Remington 700 with a polymer stock still shoots like a Remington 700. Giving value to something that you give time to doesn't inherently increase the value. You are arbitrarily giving value to something because you deem it so. So dumb. Steinway is the same , because they say this wood creates a better sound, but does it? Do you buy Coca-Cola because it tastes better than soda made with the same ingredients. You're buying the name and marketing

      Fructose changes the refractive property of grapes/juice and has been measured optically for decades, not only in Japan.

      I don't care for spending fortunes on impressing people but Japanese people manage to have a good time while going above and beyond history culinary traditions.
      Princess strawberries or Budda pears aren't about their exquisite taste but frequently express cultural connection as a token of affection.
