Hi, sorry for the lack of videos lately. I’ve been struggling a bit with motivation. But I’ve already made the necessary adjustments. I will be back next year with a new brand new video series. I’m also planning to go back to slightly shorter videos so that I can upload more frequently again. Uploading a new video is after all the most fun part about youtube - so I think allowing me to do that more often should help. ---- Happy New Year !

I deadass thought it was different Michelin

[@Sluggernaut]

Now tell me how the Guinness beer company is the same creator of the World Book of Records.

[@juanvaldivia8001]

Wait, the food Michelin is the same Michelin of the tires ? lmao I thought it was a common last name or something

[@leonardwei3914]

This would explain Michelin man's considerable girth.

In case you’re wondering who the world’s largest tire manufacturer is, it’s LEGO.

When I was a kid, I used to think both the Michelin man and the Stay Puft Marshmallow man were giant ghosts in Ghostbusters.

Praise Jesus Christ

mean while in Hong Kong, a Michelin star is called the kiss of death because the landlord just raises the rent exponentially if they know you got a michelin star

For those asking about The Guiness Book of records, it was indeed made by the man who owned Guiness Breweries. He and his friend went recreational shooting and got into a argument over which bird was the fastest. He tried to find the information but realised it wasn't published anywhere, and it also occurred to him that people in pubs everywhere must have similar debates all the time with no way to find the actual answer. So he commissioned some people who owned a fact finding agency to write the book and gave a bunch of copies away, presumably to promote his beer. It became an instant hit in homes and evolved into a mainstay.

Finally someone cares to explain why a rubbery dummy thicc boi is giving out stars.

[@TheAmazingCowpig]

One of those things I figured too obvious to be true at first glance.

[@Lcngopher]

And a brewery publishes the most common book of world records

[@LiewLmao]

The Michelin man of course

[@Coeurebene1]

Among the bad things about receiving a star: you need to maintain standards not only on food quality, but also on service and environment, which is expensive. Some chefs chose to lose a star on purpose to be able to keep a local/family style restaurant.

It was nice sending this to my friend who said the Michelin's were different

[@CyrusMajin]

When I first heard of the restaurant rating system years ago I actually asked why the tire company rating restaurants was so prestigious. The response I got was effectively “Haha, you idiot, it’s not the same Michelin, obviously.”

[@deVence]

I remember having to write a paper about the creation of the michelin red guide, how it works, and its effect on dining culture & restaurant industry when I was in culinary school. Good times.

[@DemonFox369]

Tire. Travel. Tourism. Food.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

I heard Michelin stars taste just like the tire
