Pointing out how long ago the 70s were is elder abuse.
The 70's were yesterday, from the right perspective.
I first heard of Richard Simmons in the 70s when he had a bit part on General Hospital. Summer of '78...
**abuse of the elderly
What were the dinosaurs like? 🦕
😂😂😂
You really expect me to believe that there was no cheese museum in the whole of France until this year?
“Seagull insurance” definitely sounds like a prank the locals would play on tourists! 😂
Learning about bedrotting while bedrotting
That photo with Richard Simmons is a real treasure
Best Costco snack is the $1.50 hotdog and soda.
Tried it for the first time last year and was shocked how good it was. I understood the hype and it deserves it! It has no right to be that tasty lol
4:26 funny how BRB is never used any more, doesnt need to be used. back then texting with someone meant having to sit in front of your computer while texting with someone. needed to go do something? you needed to let the other person know you would be right back so when you didnt immediately respond to their text they knew why. i kinda miss those days of being on your computer then seeing that your friend was online and getting excited cause now you can chat with them.
Good old days of ICQ and MSN messenger.😢
Am I cringe for using BRB unironically in real life? Don't need to text it anymore, but when I have to leave a in person conversation for a sec I do BRB, gotta (blank)
That Skywalker kid did get to go on his vacation but only with his Uncle Ben
Not judging on the Doritos, I just want to know if they are cool ranch or nacho cheese?
I put my coffee grounds in my yard. I've seen a couple videos that shows you how to make briquettes out of grounds, to burn as a heat source...
5:35. I remember when the news came out about the tombstone engraving. People seemed to be quite upset with Disney... but the reality is that US IP law requires the owner of that IP to defend it, else the IP is completely lost forever.
So it isn't fair to blame Disney - blame American Intellectual Property law.
Sharks aren't vertebrates. They are cartilagenenous or boneless fish.
Steamboat Willie is in the public domain and the horror movie with him is set to release in 2025
Screamboat Killie?
6:05 Wait!... Fruit-Stripe Gum was just recently discontinued? I thought it was discontinued 20+ years ago. I was a teenager the last time I seen Fruit-Stripe gum.
I don't know why but thats actually making me emotional. I know thats sounds ridiculous being saddened over gum, I guess sometimes nostalgia really hits hard.
I know you could only chew Fruit-Stripe for about 30 seconds before all the flavor was gone... But still that 30 seconds of chewing was amazing.
I love that the teenage T-Rex was discovered by teenage humans. 💕
The year 2024 has passed with so many emotions, thank you for sharing.
It feels like the 70s were only 20 or so years ago. I grew up through the 70s and 80s and despite being in my mid / late 50s I still feel like a kid (apart from the aches and pains)
I entered the 70's as a child, lost my virginity and became an adult before the 80's. The music was AMAZING !!
George’s fiancé died after licking envelopes, not stamps.
Yes, this is important because stamps would be just stamps. The envelopes were the cheapest George found and it went to show just how cheap he was and the irony of the situation lol
I wonder how many kids visit a Mario world have gotten concussions trying to earn coins of super fast stars😅
I am from Utah and the Utah Truffles really are that good!!! They are so rich and melt in your mouth. My favorite is the mint which isn't weak but not strong. It's just the right level to give you enough to satisfy that taste. Haven't tried the ones you mentioned, but omg i want one now. *chef's kiss*
I love Costco's danishes
This video absolutely needs a beat between stories, they are confusingly blending into each other.
The content is fantastic, the execution, slightly less so.
Have you just started watching this channel?
Parmesan cheese? Italians love parmigiano reggiano like the name of the sponsor.
SMH is the most commonly texted acronym? WTF?
lol
Based on what she said, I think they misinterpreted the data. She said it was the most searched acronym, which I think means it's the most unfamiliar one that still gets somewhat regular use. All the typing it in is people trying to find out what it means
RyanAir oversells and bumps on every flight. They just go to great pains to make it seem like it isn't an arbitrary bump.
A+ video!
LOVE IT! What incredible facts!
Cool thank you..
No Grape JELL-O
The cheesy shack should get a pop up screened in eating area

SUPERLETTUCE

The brand is White Rock.

First Cheese museum??? not
The byob joke pissed me off

keren
Bedrotting: also known as depression. See a psychiatrist!
someone badly wanted to edit this down to 40 minutes, barely a pause between facts, and some aren't even facts
You must be New here. This is actually very slow
I remember my first Mental Floss list, too.
Dont move to LA!
Native languages? SMH
Why is this chick talking??
This is unwatchable due to the volume issues with the ads.

Stopped watching after the 10th nonfact showed up after only 12 things. Not facts at all
Yep, it's very disappointing! And I'm really sick of all the so-called 'facts' that are just "this thing sold for a massive amount of money"! Who gives a shit about that!?
No. We don't know a rock killed the dinosaurs definitively, that's still speculation.
You still believe in dinosaurs?
No we know
Flat world as well?
Everyone knows that it was cigarettes that killed the dinosaurs.🚬🦖
I thought Trump was indicted for killing dinosaurs
