I love seeing Sandy come to tears being sworn in by the mabn or whatever they call the person opening the champagne bottle. I did it years ago as I love Champagne, I think I was 16. I had a bottle and my friends family had several swords, so I gave it a try. This was in 1976 and my friends couldn't believe it. I was never so proud though it is not hard at all, you just need a sharp blade. I love this show! It takes my mind off the lunacy we are living through.

What we colloquially call "American cheese" is actually technically called "American burger slices" because it can't be called cheese according to the FDA.
It's never labeled as such it is always sold under the name American Cheese. Everywhere. If the FDA ever said such a thing it's had absolutely no impact.
@@plaguedoct0r Jesus christ. If you're going to correct people try not to be so thoroughly wrong on something you can so easily look up. Nobody has ever heard of "American burger slices" and that is not the legal name of any food category. In their current formulation, Kraft singles must be labeled "pasteurized prepared cheese product". American cheese can also fall under "pasteurized process cheese food" or similar. Someone may market their product as "burger slices" but that is marketing and is totally irrelevant to what you are talking about, it must still be labeled according to regulation. You can check yourself with a 10-second image search and look at the package.
@@RobespierreThePoof Maybe I'm just cranky but you're both so wrong and shouldn't be correcting anyone when you don't know what you're saying. The FDA doesn't "say" things, they enact regulations which legally must be followed - it's not optional.

I went to see Phil Jupitus live in Edinburgh and he's hilarious. Very clever, quick and funny, had different characters in his set.

YES! The rice is such a stupid idea. Spent 10 years working at Apple and Apple Premium Service Providers. The number of people that would put their devices in rice and wait a week only to bring it in to have it serviced later, and was at that point unrepairable from so much corrosion. If they have brought it in immediately, they would have saved themselves such hassle, and then no rice jammed I'm strange places. There was once when someone dropped must have been a drop of water, put their laptop in rice for a long time. Charged it and it worked, but then brought it in because it got really hot. The rice had jammed the fan from spinning and was causing thermal shutdown. There was no evidence of any liquids in the computer, so we just replaced the fan (was damaged from spinning against the rice briefly) and on their way. TLDR: don't put your device in anything, if you can remove the battery/power and get to a tech asap. I've reworked hundreds of liquid damaged computers with much better success rate the sooner I saw it after the incident.
The US lifted the ban on black currants years ago but it’s still not caught on as a flavor, which is a shame. I have to order my teas and preserves from over there.
Salt from the salty oils and sweat from your skin breaks down frothy/bubbles on top of the drink. What works best which also allows your boiling water from overboiling is a coarse wooden spoon or any utensil that doesn't have a protective coating. As stated in the video bacteria has a hard time growing on wooden chopping blocks of that type. 😉
I was an unaccompanied minor from Hawaii to Virginia, and on my six hour layover in Texas I was just given a huge baguette, which was taller than I was, and stuck in the break room until my flight. I ate off that bread until my flight landed in Virginia. My jaw was sore for days, I guess due to all the chewing and the air pressure changes. 🤣

If you remove the seeds from the peppers they burn once. If you leave the seeds in they burn twice. It turns out the seeds aren't digestible and come out as seeds. On the upside it reminds you that you're still alive.
If you live up where it snows ect. you should have cat litter in your car. When your car get stuck in the snow you put it under the tires so the can grip and get un stuck.
Does that work better than a reusable 4WD recovery track? Here in Australia people prefer the recovery tracks but they are usually dealing with mud rather than snow.
I hate menus where they’ve removed the dollar signs from the prices. It makes me want to slap somebody. But the person who did it probably isn’t around while I’m reading the menu, and it wouldn’t be fair to slap someone else, like the waiter or waitress.
Yeah I was surprised to hear people feel those menus are less expensive. No dollar signs on the menu is an immediate signal to me that I'm at an overpriced establishment
The rice thing works actually. My grandson poured water on our dstv decoder, it went off. We put it in the rice for 3 days. Afterwards we were able to use it
Bacteria get a bad rap. There are (from human helth perspective) good bacteria, bad bacteria and neutral bacteria. Just saying "bacteria" tells you nothing. Your gut is full of good bacteria. Yogurt is considered good for you because of the bacteria in it.
That's true, but a little bad bacteria is often fine, and too much good bacteria can also be problematic for different reasons (e.g. by out-competing other good bacteria you also need). It's about the balance of each species as much as what the species actually is.
seems quite obvious about the cutlery. Silver ways much more than plastic. I like to eat with silver, or designer cutlery that is weightier than plastic, which is yucky. same way I prefer food served on china than on plastic or throw away. even if it is the same meal.
It's interesting because I was always put off by the heavy cutlery at some restaurants, the handles are often unnecessarily thick - now at least I understand why. Luckily for me I like to focus on the food rather than the 'experience' so it tastes the same to me whether on china, cardboard or plastic.
The only fact that I've ever seen on QI that I'm pretty sure is untrue is the hot pepper bit near the end. The only way Pepper X could kill you via something like anaphylactic shock is if you were allergic to capsaicin and/or something in the pepper. The constriction of the airway is only going to be an issue if you already have issues breathing, like with asthma. Otherwise ur almost assuredly fine, unless you ate an ungodly amount of peppers or straight up molecular capsaicin (do not do this!). Something like 2% of your body weight in peppers is deadly, which is a crapton
My father tells me that when he was a young man going out on dates with young ladies, a common "test" the women would put the men through was to go to a restaurant on the first date, order the most expensive meal they have and then NOT EAT ANY OF IT. If he complained he was rejected. The women's menu would solve that because she doesn't know what the prices are.
I know times was different and all but that's actually a very effective way of her telling you she's immature and you'll be dealing with that kind of nonsense for as long as you're together. I would not go on a second date with a woman who pulled that kind of a stunt!
Do they purposely tell their guests to be ignorant of a topic when they bring it up? The date menu sans price is not something new. I knew about those going on 20+ years now. And although I live in the US, I'm not in the most trendiest of states. 😆

33:38 For someone so knowledgeable, I'm surprised she believes that stereotype about American cheese being "not cheese." At the very least, American cheese is two cheeses mixed together. You could get American cheese, which is 100% cheese. However, American cheese CAN and often DOES have other ingredients included, such as cream, salt, spices, coloring, etc. However, it is still mostly made up of cheese. Hell, even Kraft singles (which I think most of us see as the second most inferior American cheese, above only the "Cheese Product" that is "Sanwich Slices") is still at minimum 51% cheese. Which is gross, but I digress. Both of which can not legally call themselves cheese, I believe.
American cheese is cheddar cheese. At some point in our history, we began processing it, which only means forcing it under tremendous pressure through plates with tiny holes in them. That shrinks the larger fat globules (homogenization, the same thing we do to milk) so they disperse evenly, and it elongates the proteins (akin to kneading bread), making it much easier to melt evenly and make sauces. Nothing mysterious or nasty so far, but processing also allows easy and uniform addition of all the crap we now associate with American cheese product or sandwich slices or whatever, but anyone who's had the real stuff (govt. cheese is an excellent example) will attest the stuff is not only a real cheese, but also a very good cheese.
