I used to be a machine operator at an egg packaging plant. They don't actually throw away the "bloods". Those as well as cracked eggs are shipped to pet food factories, so they aren't wasted
Well, good then because I was ready to bitch em out for wasting perfectly good food. We waste SO MUCH FOOD, it's disgusting! No one on the face of the Earth should be going hungry! There's more than enough food on the planet to go around for EVERYONE!! However, wasting food and Countries with questionable government restricting the flow of nutritional foods, which is done purposely, people are starving somewhere everyday! Oh, "restricting the flow of nutritional foods. "Why, why would they do that," you may ask. For the same reason it's done here. It's a very simple way to Control the masses. It gives a Government, "Power and Control," over the Peoples they Govern!! Usually, not in the best interest for the People but in the best interest of the the one in the Highest Command of that Government!!
Oh good grief.......the majority of wasted food in house holds has nothing to do with a conspiracy. 1. Prepackaged food often means people buy more than they need. Eg people who live alone. 2. "Two fer" chilled food offers prove irresistible to shoppers who take it home and hadn't planned to use that much it goes out of date before it is used. 3. People are obsessed by "use by" or "best before" dates and dispose of food that is still perfectly edible. 4. Only gardeners love vegetables of all shapes. Uniformity makes for less prep time , uniform cooking time and perfect presentation. Weird and damaged produce is rejected by supermarkets for that reason customers don't pick them off the shelf. 5. Chilled produce travels across the country, even around the world, and can get damaged or poorly stored in transit. 6. Some countries have glut of some foods. Sometimes it just is not worth the cost of transport or refrigeration...or treatment to increase shelf life if producers are tempted to give it away to starving millions overseas
@@pamelsims2068No... the "use by" date is there for a VERY VERY GOOD reason--and you're an idiot if you use it after that date. OFTEN I find food getting to be disgusting BEFORE they used by date. Odd shaped vegetables are EVERYWHERE, whoever told you that they aren't is blind as a bat. I've gotten videos of some very peculiar shaped food (especially potatoes and carrots (one carrot looks like it's giving birth to another carrot) that I have bought through the years. I often joke about them coming from Chernobyl Farms...
@@nobody7817 Your not completely right about that… The dates are valid as a concept, but they aren’t accurate. That kind of thing never is. Also, they exist to quell lawsuits generated by stupid people, so they don’t need to be accurate. Also you can loophole them somewhat. My mom has used past the expiration date multiple times by storing it in the freezer. It still goes bad, but the freezer will delay it significantly.
@@psyduckrulesNo, I am completely right about that, trust me. I've worked in the industry before. Also... now I live in countries that IGNORE the dates, changing them... and trust ME... you do NOT want to buy food from many of the stories around here. (Yes, countries plural... several countries.) Once you live in a different country, you will begin to realize that all of those laws, rules, and regulations that you DETEST SO MUCH...aren't all that bad after-all... :D
8:45 for those that don't know the nickel and the half dime are 2 different coins despite being the same value, nickels started being made in 1866 and half dimes stopped being made in 1873, with the exception of briefly during World War 2 the nickel we know has never been made of silver
Something that had me a little annoyed was they were talking about coins made in 1792 and they show a Lincoln penny ( copper) which came out in 1909. And they completely ignored the $20 Liberty( profile) coin and the St Gaudins, both made out of gold.
hmmm, today, would type that the double stuffed is about an average of maybe 3/4 stuffed of what the original once was as the cookie itself is also smaller and less in said packages that you pay a heck of a lot more.
I once added a lawnmower motor to a grocery cart. I fixed the wonky front wheels with a transbar which was actually harder than installing the motor. I had to offset it from center. But I had a cool go cart that raced up and down the aisles.
So all the carts are terrible but ykow how sometimes staff will have carts if they are restocking or returning items? well once we had an empty cart that was SUPER wonky and we saw a staff cart with 1 or 2 items in it so we switched the carts and the staff cart was PERFECT no wonky wheels... they had good carts this whole time and were hiding them from us..
I worked for a small grocery store in the 60's. The elderly owner inspected every egg, placing each one on an egg lamp that would shine light through it to detect bad spots.
@Anna_Key Yes, it sure was. He even peeled the outer layer off of every onion, too. His name was CJ Cooley & the tiny one isle store was named after his wife & called Anna Laura's.
The OREO logo was used in an advertising campaign back in the 60’s the double cross was an antenna on the space ship, the oval was actually the spaceship. I forget what the “space man” was called. Looking thru the eggs is called candling, to check to see if the eggs were fertile. No one likes to crack an egg for breakfast and then has to scrape a chick out of the frying pan, also causes one to lose their appetite for breakfast.
It wasn't to detect "bad spots". LOL. It was to see if any of them were fertilized. Where was he buying the eggs from? Direct from a farmer? Because fertilized eggs being sold at a grocery store these days can't happen. They are never fertile. They come from egg farms and are raised under specific conditions.
Ah...screen savers. I absolutely loved looking for the teapots on the 3D-Pipes...though it was that particular screen saver that caused me and my company heartburn for a few weeks. Our backups started to not complete overnight. We'd come in and they would be at 2 or 3% completed when normally they'd be done in an hour at most. Took weeks to finally realize that someone had changed the server screen saver to 3D pipes and it was using 99% of the CPU to draw those damn pipes...all night and it had a higher priority than the backups. Of course while we were troubleshooting it, checking everything we'd never see the screen saver so could not figure it out.
The crab trap at Bikini Bottom was the only thing I knew about the whole show. Being from New Orleans probably had a lot to do with my recognition of seafood harvesting equipment.
after electrical shop in high school, ya agree. But being a dumby at 4/5 years old.. we where lucky they did not try to spoon feed us "the numbers on the toaster mean how many gremlins it took to toast the bread
Considering that the Krusty Krab is owned by Mr. Krabs, I figured that was what the building looked like. I mean, look at where Plankton lives and works in: A bucket called "The Chum Bucket."
The secret of the crabby patties is one day he went fishing and he caught and killed a recent mother whale and uses her meat in the crabby patties. Evidence is he adopted orphaned Pearl on the spot she is not a crab. I you notice all parents on the show are character consistent but Pearl whom which will end up as his next victim this is why he gives her everything and spoils her. He's still serving him mom until pearl to then perhaps kill her too. He is the eptimy of greed
My favorite hidden feature is at the ends of a roll of saran wrap, aluminum foil or other wraps in a cardboard tube. The ends have a piece of cardboard that, when pushed in, prevent the roll to fall out of the case. Once the end tabs are pushed in, they each go into the ends of the roll inside.
Provided they're actually manufactured correctly so they line up with the tubes inside. I have had many rolls of saran wrap, wax paper, and foil that had the holes punched too low to line up with the tubes.
Great video on daily things with a hidden secret. You asked if we knew of any not mentioned. What about the Spaghetti Spoon? The hole in the center of the spoon (if it was made with a single hole) has a hidden use. Putting your typical dried spaghetti into the hole until no more can be put in the hole without breaking the pieces. Is the recommended amount for one serving of spaghetti. Not including anything extra. JUST the spaghetti.
While shopping for eggs, a woman that said tha she used to work in an egg factory told me to always purchase SOLID WHITE eggs. Because-- she said-- they were fresher! Now to this day, I don't want anyone of my family or friends going shopping with me because I wear non latex gloves and check every single egg, until I have a whole carton of all SOLID WHITE eggs! 🤭
When my Ex and I were first married, she threw a fit when we went on our first shopping trip together. I checked the eggs on the top AND the bottom to ensure NONE were broken. She informed me that the bottoms of the eggs can NOT break, and you only need to check the tops. She grabbed a dozen eggs, and checked them and off we went. We got home and nearly every egg was broken on the bottom. GOT TO LOVE the impeccable timing of irony!
My grandma used to candle eggs. At night she would sit in a dark room and look at them with a light behind them to see if they were fertilized or not . I am 77 so this was long ago and in a small town.
I've been using bar spoons for 20 years. The spiral is so you can stir clockwise while keeping the back of the spoon firmly against the walls of the glass. It has nothing to do with pouring liquid down it. It is a nice little bonus though.🥃
3:05 As a kid... you know back when we found wonders in even the smallest mundane things, I was so used to how the bottom of Danish cola bottles looked, that when I first traveled with my parents to France and saw a whole other bottom design, my mind was completely blown.

Jeez i miss the old screensavers that they used to have for windows it really brings me back to the good old days of just sitting there and watching the screen saver for hours. I really am starting to feel older by the day.
Times change. Now we have screensavers on our televisions… 😱 I used to make personalized screensavers for the local primary school. After picture day I created one’s with all the children’s faces for their class. They got kick out of seeing themselves. This was a very long time ago… 💾📼📟

As someone who was formerly a fleet engineer with a city bus company, I can confirm the bus seat upholstery pattern information, though the main reason for the patterning is to hide graffiti, and particularly "tags," which attract more tags. If the tags aren't noticeable, they don't get counter-tagged (with subsequent escalation of graffiti), and those who try to tag the upholstery soon learn that there's no point in bothering because it doesn't really show up for others to see.
I just assumed that the reasoning behind the use of a fabric with a busy pattern in order to disguise stains (or graffiti) wouldn’t need any explanation! I should have stopped watching this video after that segment.
@@synnove1046 Not really. The whole video has some grat explanations of things most ppl don't know but think they are the only ones wondering that. Nice to fine out it's actually a "thing" AND there is a reason behind the design that nearly the whole world is wondering about, not just you.
About screen savers: my favorite was a huge group of screen savers called, "After Dark." Whoever came up with these different screen savers was amazing! At least two were even interactive. One was the rat race; and the other was a trivia style game show with cartoon players. The host was a cartoon soft hammer and when one got a question wrong, he'd bash them over the head. After three bashes, they were eliminated. My favorite was one called, Bad Dog. It had a little dog come running around the screen to do something like knock over the trash can. Then a man's voice would say, "bad dog!" Then the dog would whimper and his cheeks would turn red as he'd slink away.
@@selah1292 Years ago there was a screensaver that after 3 unsuccessful security code try’s it would run a video of a bloody woman with a BIG knife run at you stabbing the screen!!😦
Grocery shopping is 1 thing that I can allow my ocd to fly because I put the groceries on the line and also bag them to keep the bagger from putting heavy stuff on top of things that can be mushed or broken and it all gets out in the cart and car that way, I used to HATE it when they'd bag my stuff and my bread would mashed down or a couple of times eggs breaking
@carlsaganlives4036 hahaha, me too! That's actually what started it, all I wanted to do was make grilled cheese for my fam and got home to find the bread was put under heavy stuff, so I started bagging my own
10:00 one thing you didn't mention. On the ba k of playing cards, youll notice that the white bar along the edge of the design is a little wider on one side than the other. You don't need a special deck of cards. Every single deck is like this. No idea why when they are supposed to look the same, but this does let you know if a card has been flipped. A neat magic trick that never fails to fool people is to lay out 9 cards in a box. As setup, you will have already made sure all 9 are facing the same way. Place all 9 facedown, walk away where you can't see and have your victim flip any 1 card 180°. Tell them they can also shuffle the cards around so you wont be able to just see one that had been moved. All you have to do then is look for which ever card has a wider bar on the wrong side. That's the flipped one. No one has ever figured this one out when I've done it. I even had one guy say I must have cheated an saw or something, so I layed out 5 rows of 5 cards (25 cards) and told them to flip any 3. Easily picked out all 3 without fail. Did that a couple time before HE tried to cheat and flip 4 lol. Still named all 4 that were flipped.
@@Wakfye WOW! even you feel it. my sister doesn't want to be under the blanket even though it's cold but now it's January and she is under the blanket that tells you that it's really cold it's so cold we need three blankets.
I'm definitely getting nostalgia seeing those screen savers 😂 I remember those from school and the DVD player growing up and would be thinking "go for the corner" too.😂 During class at school, some of us would get distracted by the screen savers. A teacher would wiggle the mouse to stop the distraction to get us focused.😆
Screen burnin can still happen on OLED screens which are a type of modern screen, so those days aren't entirely over! And it's why windows 10 still actually has screensavers as an optional feature you can turn on. And no not all modern screens are LCD, some are LED which is similar technology but far more difficult to burn in.
The funny graphic @ 12:50 reminds me of what on older woman once told me. Toilets in trains back then were nothing but a funnel. One could look into the bowl and see the railroad ties going by if the train was in motion.
But when is Big Toast gonna make the knob make sense!? Either the bread comes back out as bread, or I completely burn it to a crisp. There is no middle ground!
Febreeze air freshener always has a great deal of contents left over because there is never enough propellant. The clear plastic bottle simply shows the consumer how much goes to waste after the propellant runs out.
I love this series, along with other originals like the Darwin awards and things you'll see for the first time. Thanks Be Amazed for being so entertaining 🤟🏻😊
The Darwin awards were the genuine reason I started watching this channel, those videos were absolutely brilliant! The ‘gamers caught cheating’ playlist is a set of good videos as well!
You didn't even mention the most shocking thing about SpongeBob: that "Bikini Bottoms" is beneath the waters of the Bikini Atoll which was the site of several US nuclear bomb tests.
The thing about the bottles I can understand that now because even my regular water filled bottles like from Aquafina seem to not be able to even stand up straight like a Pepsi or Coke bottle can. So thank you for explaining that.
Another flippin brilliant video, loved your err British accent 😉🤣🤣 Also loved seeing the screensavers. One of the early detailed animated ones I loved was the Robinson Crusoe one with the guy trapped on a remote island. He'd wander around doing all sorts, lighting fires and doing things and he'd have a telescope to suddenly peer right at you 🤣🤣🤣 I'd watch him for hours 🤣🤣🤣
14:45 - It is unlikely that a capacitor is used in the majority of toasters - most use a bi-metallic strip with the dial usually mechanically coupled to that strip to adjust it's sensitivity and thus the time the toaster is on.
Kudos to both of you... I was thinking, I've worked on a TON of toasters in my lifetime and NONE of them had capacitors in them. HOWEVER, stephensepan291 has pointed out that I am aged and things change and I can imagine that if I open a toaster now, I might just find a small PCB with an LRC circuit on it....
I must be getting really old because when I think of any black candy I automatically think of black Licorice. I also grew up near an old lady that ran her own chicken farm and when my mom would need a dozen eggs, I would ride my bike down the country road we lived on and "Dotty", (her nickname but it was the only name I ever knew her by, and her husband was nicknamed "Shorty") would have a dozen waiting for me. She still used candles in the candling process and she would save all of the double yoke eggs for me because over easy has always been my favorite way to cook eggs. Now their home and the whole farm has been bulldozed and a great big fancy house has been built in it's place. The only thing left is the giant Oak tree that Shorty's great grandparents, who were Quakers and some of the first to settle the area, planted in the early 1800's.

Here's one. Have you noticed that all the letters of the word "TYPEWRITER" are in the top row of your keyboard? This is so that typewriter salesmen could demonstrate how fast one could potentially write by quickly sticking "typewriter" at the top of the page. Also the keys were scrambled specifically to slow your typing down to prevent the keys from jamming.
The shopping carts where I live don't have those bag holding bumps; But they do have cup holders on a few. Most stores changed them from cup holders to item scanner holders.
I worked for plastipak for years. Making soda bottles. The company was ingenious creating the soda bottle base. If you're old enough you would remember a black base on the bottom of sodas. To reduce plastic use. Even today plastipak has ways to reduce plastic use.
Toilets in Australia also have a half flush and full flush to save water. Saving water here is more important than smell. Although since desalination plants have been built we have less water restrictions but more expensive water.
For some years I lived and worked on a small ranch. Through that time we had six or seven Indian Runner Ducks, odd-looking but sweet. They had the look of a bowling pin with a beak, and a couple of beady eyes. They were poor flyers. They spent their days foraging through the tall grasses, eating bugs, and swimming in their pond. Before retiring for the night they also ate a daily treat of Purina Duck Chow. Each afternoon they returned to the safety of a Cage made of sections of hurricane fencing around a warm straw-filled hutch.This kept them safe from raccoons and other predators that could scale the 10-foot Deer fences. Their eggs were the BEST-tasting eggs I ever came across anywhere before or since.
Growing up (and even now) my Mom called runny eggs "bloody" eggs. I thought the red on the yolk meant that the egg had been fertilized. Silly because- of course they aren't, but you hear something in your youth and it sticks until you hear otherwise and I just did.
Dude your mom didnt really feed you bloody eggs? Wait, it wasnt that common was it? Ive seen maybe 3 at the most in my 52 yr span and they went right in the trash. I cant eat twins either. Ha
Same here. Mom would throw them away. I never could figure out how they got fertilized, since there are no roosters in modern egg production. My mom was raised on a farm where they did have roosters, so she might have been right then.
I actually have chickens and didn't know that about red spots. I think my mom told me when I was a kid that meant they were fertilized. Never gave it much thought after that. Plus, I always avoided the green gummies because I don't like lime. My favorite was always strawberry..the jokes on me! I'm not much of a gummy girl anyway.
There's a LOT more to it than that. In Europe they vaccinate the chickens against salmonella; and the likelihood of infection is low. As a result, refrigeration is not needed; also chicken meat lasts longer on shelf life too. In the US, they do NOT vaccinate the chickens and the likelihood of eggs containing salmonella approaches 100%; and therefore they DO require refrigeration.
Question for your electrical engineers out there: I never imagined a toaster has a capacitor in it, and while I'm careful about never inserting anything in a plugged-in toaster, much less one actually operating, I've always assumed that once unplugged it would be safe to fish some bread out of the bottom of the toaster with a knife. Does the fact that there's a capacitor in it make that practice unsafe? Could I be shocked by an unplugged toaster?
While I'm not an electrical engineer, they're made to be as safe as possible (to avoid lawsuits, if nothing else), and you have to work really hard to get shocked by one (from what I understand)... like being all wet & standing in a puddle of water while jamming a metal utensil in it while it's in use.
A small town I used to live in , the homes of the drunks were known by the test pattern , burnt onto the phosphore dots , even with the set completely powered down . Edit : the world wide design for a toilet pans , can still stop the odour problem , and it's also a lot easier to do a lot of elbow grease - 1-2 caps of food grade hydrogen peroxide , gets up around the.bend , killing off whatever is lurking . Flush once it's stopped bubbeling , the film on top is bacteria etc , ready to flush - the bugs are all dead .
It's another time to set a goal for the year, one need to set goals and take bold steps in achieving them. Remember success is not obtained overnight, you have to stop procrastinating and try what you have always wanted to improve in you're life and well being. Investment will take you closer to your dreams.
Card "sharp" Take a bow! very few people know that Sharp is the correct word not shark. The expression comes from the word Sharpie which in the 1920's (I think) was a word that meant a hustler, a playah, someone who was very clever. So a card sharp was someone who was not just good with cards but somene who was in a way a conman. The toaster. Surprisingly many people do not know this. The plunger, it it's default position is actually set an inch or so lower than the track that it rides in. When the toast pops up you can actually raise the plunger above it's default position so you can raise the toast little bit to facillitate grabbing it without burning your fingers on the hot toaster.
My toaster has a funny smell, even when it was new out of the box. The one before that was made in 1972, wouldn't always pop up. it nearly caught the cabinets above on fire.
the toaster numbers, we where always told it meant how dark you wanted the toast. not how many minutes or resistance, just how dark the toast well be. 1 was light, and the highest number was the darkest.
In practical terms, you are correct. But, in the true electrical sense, it is actually the resistance. In the grand scheme of things, both are the same because they produce the same result. But, for the toaster itself, it is the resistance.
@@catladyfromky4142 I doubt that seriously. 1 what? 1 ohm would be a near short and would cause the breakers in the house to snap open (or fuses to blow, depending on how old your house is). Even 10 ohms would pull a current of 12 amps. Most breakers will snap at 12 amps. (A 15 amp breaker can only handle a sustained current of 80% of its rated value). So, if it were the ONLY thing on the breaker, it would STILL cause the breaker to open. If set to 1, that's 120 amps (P=IV 14,400 watts)... lol the fire department would just watch as your house melted into the earth...
As a formerly active Freemason and former Worshipful Master of one local lodge, I can tell you that these conspiracy theories cause considerable discussion and amusement among members of the craft. I never once witnessed any discussion of "control" and, in fact, part of the Oath we take when attaining the highest Chair in a Lodge is that we must obey the laws of our nation, nor can we council any sort of anti-government action. That said, if you are interested in politics and getting voted to government office, there's nothing in the Masonic rules that forbids you from doing so. But, while politicians might endure scrutiny from the public, that scrutiny is tenfold from other Freemasons in such an individual's constituency. If you are a Freemason holding public office AND you are corrupt and/or breaking laws, the Freemasons would be rather quick to excommunicate you. They DON'T tolerate individuals breaking laws.
Actually, the Oreo thing has more to it. Nabisco, Oreos parent company was purchased by R. J. Reynolds and Phillip Morris (Big Tobacco Companies) in 1980 in an effort to incorporate its "flavors" (flavor country) into the food we eat, making processed foods flavorful and addictive. Nabisco was not the only food company they purchased. Kraft, General foods, Kool-Aid, Tang, and Capri Sun are just some of the others they purchased. The double cross was added as a masonic symbol, and wouldn't you know, big tobacco and freemasonry both wash their hands in secrets.

(1:49) So-called "air fresheners" are a complete toxic rip-off. If you want your house to smell good: 1. Keep it clean (floors, walls, bedding, toilets, etc.). 2. Don't let garbage pile up (take it out daily). 3. Cook smelly food outside, if possible. (BBQ fish 🤤) 4. Clean up after pets promptly (inc. litter boxes). 5. Keep air circulating throughout your house with open windows and fans. 6. Don't do things that make your house smell bad (smoking, vomiting, farting, etc.). 7. Bake bread and cookies often. Don't spray chemicals into the air that interfere with your body's natural ability to detect odors that are bad for you.

I used to be a machine operator at an egg packaging plant. They don't actually throw away the "bloods". Those as well as cracked eggs are shipped to pet food factories, so they aren't wasted
Well, good then because I was ready to bitch em out for wasting perfectly good food. We waste SO MUCH FOOD, it's disgusting! No one on the face of the Earth should be going hungry! There's more than enough food on the planet to go around for EVERYONE!! However, wasting food and Countries with questionable government restricting the flow of nutritional foods, which is done purposely, people are starving somewhere everyday! Oh, "restricting the flow of nutritional foods. "Why, why would they do that," you may ask. For the same reason it's done here. It's a very simple way to Control the masses. It gives a Government, "Power and Control," over the Peoples they Govern!! Usually, not in the best interest for the People but in the best interest of the the one in the Highest Command of that Government!!
Oh good grief.......the majority of wasted food in house holds has nothing to do with a conspiracy.
1. Prepackaged food often means people buy more than they need. Eg people who live alone.
2. "Two fer" chilled food offers prove irresistible to shoppers who take it home and hadn't planned to use that much it goes out of date before it is used.
3. People are obsessed by "use by" or "best before" dates and dispose of food that is still perfectly edible.
4. Only gardeners love vegetables of all shapes. Uniformity makes for less prep time , uniform cooking time and perfect presentation. Weird and damaged produce is rejected by supermarkets for that reason customers don't pick them off the shelf.
5. Chilled produce travels across the country, even around the world, and can get damaged or poorly stored in transit.
6. Some countries have glut of some foods. Sometimes it just is not worth the cost of transport or refrigeration...or treatment to increase shelf life if producers are tempted to give it away to starving millions overseas
@@pamelsims2068No... the "use by" date is there for a VERY VERY GOOD reason--and you're an idiot if you use it after that date. OFTEN I find food getting to be disgusting BEFORE they used by date. Odd shaped vegetables are EVERYWHERE, whoever told you that they aren't is blind as a bat. I've gotten videos of some very peculiar shaped food (especially potatoes and carrots (one carrot looks like it's giving birth to another carrot) that I have bought through the years. I often joke about them coming from Chernobyl Farms...
@@nobody7817
Your not completely right about that…
The dates are valid as a concept, but they aren’t accurate.
That kind of thing never is.
Also, they exist to quell lawsuits generated by stupid people, so they don’t need to be accurate.
Also you can loophole them somewhat.
My mom has used past the expiration date multiple times by storing it in the freezer.
It still goes bad, but the freezer will delay it significantly.
@@psyduckrulesNo, I am completely right about that, trust me. I've worked in the industry before. Also... now I live in countries that IGNORE the dates, changing them... and trust ME... you do NOT want to buy food from many of the stories around here. (Yes, countries plural... several countries.) Once you live in a different country, you will begin to realize that all of those laws, rules, and regulations that you DETEST SO MUCH...aren't all that bad after-all... :D
8:45 for those that don't know the nickel and the half dime are 2 different coins despite being the same value, nickels started being made in 1866 and half dimes stopped being made in 1873, with the exception of briefly during World War 2 the nickel we know has never been made of silver
Something that had me a little annoyed was they were talking about coins made in 1792 and they show a Lincoln penny ( copper) which came out in 1909. And they completely ignored the $20 Liberty( profile) coin and the St Gaudins, both made out of gold.
I think they're made out of.....nickel🤣
Double-stuffed oreos are now what regular oreos once were.
never have liked a comment faster
hmmm, today, would type that the double stuffed is about an average of maybe 3/4 stuffed of what the original once was as the cookie itself is also smaller and less in said packages that you pay a heck of a lot more.
True I bought a whole package two months ago. Boy was I disappointed.Not buying it any more.

When he was talking about the shopping carts, I was hoping he’d explain why I always get one with a wonky wheel
I once added a lawnmower motor to a grocery cart. I fixed the wonky front wheels with a transbar which was actually harder than installing the motor. I had to offset it from center. But I had a cool go cart that raced up and down the aisles.
you chose that one, no explination needed. YOU chose not to swap it before you went down aisle 1 (stoopid)
They reserve a wonky cart just for me. It's waiting for me, every time. How do I thank them?🤔
I call them drunk carts.
So all the carts are terrible but ykow how sometimes staff will have carts if they are restocking or returning items? well once we had an empty cart that was SUPER wonky and we saw a staff cart with 1 or 2 items in it so we switched the carts and the staff cart was PERFECT no wonky wheels... they had good carts this whole time and were hiding them from us..
I worked for a small grocery store in the 60's. The elderly owner inspected every egg, placing each one on an egg lamp that would shine light through it to detect bad spots.
Wow, that was fantastic service for their customers! ❤
@Anna_Key Yes, it sure was. He even peeled the outer layer off of every onion, too. His name was CJ Cooley & the tiny one isle store was named after his wife & called Anna Laura's.
The OREO logo was used in an advertising campaign back in the 60’s the double cross was an antenna on the space ship, the oval was actually the spaceship. I forget what the “space man” was called.
Looking thru the eggs is called candling, to check to see if the eggs were fertile. No one likes to crack an egg for breakfast and then has to scrape a chick out of the frying pan, also causes one to lose their appetite for breakfast.
Pahh!! The clue is in the video 5:14 Oreo double cross is the defined "Nesbisco" logo !
It wasn't to detect "bad spots". LOL.
It was to see if any of them were fertilized.
Where was he buying the eggs from? Direct from a farmer?
Because fertilized eggs being sold at a grocery store these days can't happen. They are never fertile. They come from egg farms and are raised under specific conditions.
Ah...screen savers. I absolutely loved looking for the teapots on the 3D-Pipes...though it was that particular screen saver that caused me and my company heartburn for a few weeks. Our backups started to not complete overnight. We'd come in and they would be at 2 or 3% completed when normally they'd be done in an hour at most. Took weeks to finally realize that someone had changed the server screen saver to 3D pipes and it was using 99% of the CPU to draw those damn pipes...all night and it had a higher priority than the backups. Of course while we were troubleshooting it, checking everything we'd never see the screen saver so could not figure it out.
The crab trap at Bikini Bottom was the only thing I knew about the whole show. Being from New Orleans probably had a lot to do with my recognition of seafood harvesting equipment.

Considering that the Krusty Krab is owned by Mr. Krabs, I figured that was what the building looked like. I mean, look at where Plankton lives and works in: A bucket called "The Chum Bucket."
The secret of the crabby patties is one day he went fishing and he caught and killed a recent mother whale and uses her meat in the crabby patties. Evidence is he adopted orphaned Pearl on the spot she is not a crab. I you notice all parents on the show are character consistent but Pearl whom which will end up as his next victim this is why he gives her everything and spoils her. He's still serving him mom until pearl to then perhaps kill her too. He is the eptimy of greed
My favorite hidden feature is at the ends of a roll of saran wrap, aluminum foil or other wraps in a cardboard tube. The ends have a piece of cardboard that, when pushed in, prevent the roll to fall out of the case. Once the end tabs are pushed in, they each go into the ends of the roll inside.
Provided they're actually manufactured correctly so they line up with the tubes inside. I have had many rolls of saran wrap, wax paper, and foil that had the holes punched too low to line up with the tubes.
You need to do more ways people got revenge
I didn't realize that was a hidden feature...I thought everyone knew that.
I like pidgeons.
A really cool feature on frozen meals is that if you put them in a microwave and hit the numbers printed on the packaging, they get hot.
Great video on daily things with a hidden secret. You asked if we knew of any not mentioned. What about the Spaghetti Spoon? The hole in the center of the spoon (if it was made with a single hole) has a hidden use. Putting your typical dried spaghetti into the hole until no more can be put in the hole without breaking the pieces. Is the recommended amount for one serving of spaghetti. Not including anything extra. JUST the spaghetti.
You missed it, says part 7 😐
You should do a whole video about eggs, there’s so much more to them than a lot of people know.
While shopping for eggs, a woman that said tha she used to work in an egg factory told me to always purchase SOLID WHITE eggs. Because-- she said-- they were fresher!
Now to this day, I don't want anyone of my family or friends going shopping with me because I wear non latex gloves and check every single egg, until I have a whole carton of all SOLID WHITE eggs! 🤭
When my Ex and I were first married, she threw a fit when we went on our first shopping trip together. I checked the eggs on the top AND the bottom to ensure NONE were broken. She informed me that the bottoms of the eggs can NOT break, and you only need to check the tops. She grabbed a dozen eggs, and checked them and off we went. We got home and nearly every egg was broken on the bottom. GOT TO LOVE the impeccable timing of irony!
My grandma used to candle eggs. At night she would sit in a dark room and look at them with a light behind them to see if they were fertilized or not . I am 77 so this was long ago and in a small town.

I've been using bar spoons for 20 years. The spiral is so you can stir clockwise while keeping the back of the spoon firmly against the walls of the glass. It has nothing to do with pouring liquid down it. It is a nice little bonus though.🥃

It’s a sad day for humanity when someone has to explain what a screensaver is.
Ikr yet this guy sounded serious when he was letting out this huge secret. Ha thats like having to tell someone what a coffee maker does.
Why
@@jessicahay9305 Because everyone knows the purpose of screensavers. It's not a secret, just common knowledge.
Maybe tech support guys have become too bothered with questions like "In what folder do I find screenshots saved with screen savers?"
I remember one of my fave screensavers by Sierra technologies called ‘bad dog’
Jeez i miss the old screensavers that they used to have for windows it really brings me back to the good old days of just sitting there and watching the screen saver for hours.
I really am starting to feel older by the day.
Not good for servers though, ties up too much processor time and things get really slow in the network. Learned that from "Tales From Tech Support"
Times change. Now we have screensavers on our televisions… 😱

As someone who was formerly a fleet engineer with a city bus company, I can confirm the bus seat upholstery pattern information, though the main reason for the patterning is to hide graffiti, and particularly "tags," which attract more tags. If the tags aren't noticeable, they don't get counter-tagged (with subsequent escalation of graffiti), and those who try to tag the upholstery soon learn that there's no point in bothering because it doesn't really show up for others to see.
I just assumed that the reasoning behind the use of a fabric with a busy pattern in order to disguise stains (or graffiti) wouldn’t need any explanation! I should have stopped watching this video after that segment.
@@synnove1046
Not really. The whole video has some grat explanations of things most ppl don't know but think they are the only ones wondering that. Nice to fine out it's actually a "thing" AND there is a reason behind the design that nearly the whole world is wondering about, not just you.
About screen savers: my favorite was a huge group of screen savers called, "After Dark." Whoever came up with these different screen savers was amazing! At least two were even interactive. One was the rat race; and the other was a trivia style game show with cartoon players. The host was a cartoon soft hammer and when one got a question wrong, he'd bash them over the head. After three bashes, they were eliminated. My favorite was one called, Bad Dog. It had a little dog come running around the screen to do something like knock over the trash can. Then a man's voice would say, "bad dog!" Then the dog would whimper and his cheeks would turn red as he'd slink away.
OMG I loved every one of those too!
I loved Bad Dog! Always felt a bit sorry for him, though.

Grocery shopping is 1 thing that I can allow my ocd to fly because I put the groceries on the line and also bag them to keep the bagger from putting heavy stuff on top of things that can be mushed or broken and it all gets out in the cart and car that way, I used to HATE it when they'd bag my stuff and my bread would mashed down or a couple of times eggs breaking
The edge of a box jammed into the middle of the bread is what made me question life and seek therapy...
@carlsaganlives4036 hahaha, me too! That's actually what started it, all I wanted to do was make grilled cheese for my fam and got home to find the bread was put under heavy stuff, so I started bagging my own
You aren't alone.
"Totally useless knowledge, but fun nonetheless!" That's half my brain described in a single sentence...
10:00 one thing you didn't mention. On the ba k of playing cards, youll notice that the white bar along the edge of the design is a little wider on one side than the other. You don't need a special deck of cards. Every single deck is like this. No idea why when they are supposed to look the same, but this does let you know if a card has been flipped. A neat magic trick that never fails to fool people is to lay out 9 cards in a box. As setup, you will have already made sure all 9 are facing the same way. Place all 9 facedown, walk away where you can't see and have your victim flip any 1 card 180°. Tell them they can also shuffle the cards around so you wont be able to just see one that had been moved. All you have to do then is look for which ever card has a wider bar on the wrong side. That's the flipped one. No one has ever figured this one out when I've done it. I even had one guy say I must have cheated an saw or something, so I layed out 5 rows of 5 cards (25 cards) and told them to flip any 3. Easily picked out all 3 without fail. Did that a couple time before HE tried to cheat and flip 4 lol. Still named all 4 that were flipped.

@@reneerasile8059THE BEST DAYS EVER!! Black screen with green graphics, Oregon Trail was the best....but I always seemed to get typhoid fever🤔
Screen burnin can still happen on OLED screens which are a type of modern screen, so those days aren't entirely over!
And it's why windows 10 still actually has screensavers as an optional feature you can turn on. And no not all modern screens are LCD, some are LED which is similar technology but far more difficult to burn in.
Awesome editing, if there was an award, like a You Tube editing award, you would win hands down.....

14:45 - It is unlikely that a capacitor is used in the majority of toasters - most use a bi-metallic strip with the dial usually mechanically coupled to that strip to adjust it's sensitivity and thus the time the toaster is on.
capacitor is used in electronic toasters, bi-metalic strip is used in mechanical( older) toasters.
Kudos to both of you... I was thinking, I've worked on a TON of toasters in my lifetime and NONE of them had capacitors in them. HOWEVER, stephensepan291 has pointed out that I am aged and things change and I can imagine that if I open a toaster now, I might just find a small PCB with an LRC circuit on it....
I must be getting really old because when I think of any black candy I automatically think of black Licorice. I also grew up near an old lady that ran her own chicken farm and when my mom would need a dozen eggs, I would ride my bike down the country road we lived on and "Dotty", (her nickname but it was the only name I ever knew her by, and her husband was nicknamed "Shorty") would have a dozen waiting for me. She still used candles in the candling process and she would save all of the double yoke eggs for me because over easy has always been my favorite way to cook eggs. Now their home and the whole farm has been bulldozed and a great big fancy house has been built in it's place. The only thing left is the giant Oak tree that Shorty's great grandparents, who were Quakers and some of the first to settle the area, planted in the early 1800's.

Toilets in Australia also have a half flush and full flush to save water. Saving water here is more important than smell. Although since desalination plants have been built we have less water restrictions but more expensive water.
But our toilets don't smell either. Not if they are cleaned normally. We aren't animals 😂
Toilets in nearly EVERY country (except the USA) have that feature.
U.K. has the half/dual flush system too
For some years I lived and worked on a small ranch. Through that time we had six or seven Indian Runner Ducks, odd-looking but sweet. They had the look of a bowling pin with a beak, and a couple of beady eyes. They were poor flyers. They spent their days foraging through the tall grasses, eating bugs, and swimming in their pond. Before retiring for the night they also ate a daily treat of Purina Duck Chow.
Each afternoon they returned to the safety of a Cage made of sections of hurricane fencing around a warm straw-filled hutch.This kept them safe from raccoons and other predators that could scale the 10-foot Deer fences.
Their eggs were the BEST-tasting eggs I ever came across anywhere before or since.

Technology Connections, shots fired!
Growing up (and even now) my Mom called runny eggs "bloody" eggs. I thought the red on the yolk meant that the egg had been fertilized. Silly because- of course they aren't, but you hear something in your youth and it sticks until you hear otherwise and I just did.
Dude your mom didnt really feed you bloody eggs? Wait, it wasnt that common was it? Ive seen maybe 3 at the most in my 52 yr span and they went right in the trash. I cant eat twins either. Ha
Yea I was told if the eggs had those you could still throw them in an incubator from your fridge and it can still hatch 🐣
Same here. Mom would throw them away. I never could figure out how they got fertilized, since there are no roosters in modern egg production. My mom was raised on a farm where they did have roosters, so she might have been right then.
I doubt they throw out those eggs. Military and government food programs get lots of eggs in milk cartons to just pour on the pans for scrambled eggs.
Hydrox is a cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookie currently owned and manufactured by Leaf Brands. It debuted in the United States in 1908
I actually have chickens and didn't know that about red spots. I think my mom told me when I was a kid that meant they were fertilized. Never gave it much thought after that.

About eggs if you don't wash them when they are first laid, you don't have to refrigerated them and they won't go bad.
There's a LOT more to it than that. In Europe they vaccinate the chickens against salmonella; and the likelihood of infection is low. As a result, refrigeration is not needed; also chicken meat lasts longer on shelf life too. In the US, they do NOT vaccinate the chickens and the likelihood of eggs containing salmonella approaches 100%; and therefore they DO require refrigeration.
Oohhhh my god the pipes, morphing shapes and the 3D maze, those are such nostalgia.

Question for your electrical engineers out there:
I never imagined a toaster has a capacitor in it, and while I'm careful about never inserting anything in a plugged-in toaster, much less one actually operating, I've always assumed that once unplugged it would be safe to fish some bread out of the bottom of the toaster with a knife. Does the fact that there's a capacitor in it make that practice unsafe? Could I be shocked by an unplugged toaster?
While I'm not an electrical engineer, they're made to be as safe as possible (to avoid lawsuits, if nothing else), and you have to work really hard to get shocked by one (from what I understand)... like being all wet & standing in a puddle of water while jamming a metal utensil in it while it's in use.
A small town I used to live in , the homes of the drunks were known by the test pattern , burnt onto the phosphore dots , even with the set completely powered down .
Edit : the world wide design for a toilet pans , can still stop the odour problem , and it's also a lot easier to do a lot of elbow grease - 1-2 caps of food grade hydrogen peroxide , gets up around the.bend , killing off whatever is lurking .
Flush once it's stopped bubbeling , the film on top is bacteria etc , ready to flush - the bugs are all dead .
It's another time to set a goal for the year, one need to set goals and take bold steps in achieving them. Remember success is not obtained overnight, you have to stop procrastinating and try what you have always wanted to improve in you're life and well being. Investment will take you closer to your dreams.

Card "sharp" Take a bow! very few people know that Sharp is the correct word not shark. The expression comes from the word Sharpie which in the 1920's (I think) was a word that meant a hustler, a playah, someone who was very clever. So a card sharp was someone who was not just good with cards but somene who was in a way a conman.
The toaster. Surprisingly many people do not know this. The plunger, it it's default position is actually set an inch or so lower than the track that it rides in. When the toast pops up you can actually raise the plunger above it's default position so you can raise the toast little bit to facillitate grabbing it without burning your fingers on the hot toaster.
My toaster has a funny smell, even when it was new out of the box. The one before that was made in 1972, wouldn't always pop up. it nearly caught the cabinets above on fire.
Love the new intro 😆
At the 1:35 mark, those public seats beaten with a hammer were so dirty.
the toaster numbers, we where always told it meant how dark you wanted the toast. not how many minutes or resistance, just how dark the toast well be. 1 was light, and the highest number was the darkest.
In practical terms, you are correct. But, in the true electrical sense, it is actually the resistance. In the grand scheme of things, both are the same because they produce the same result. But, for the toaster itself, it is the resistance.
@@catladyfromky4142 I doubt that seriously. 1 what? 1 ohm would be a near short and would cause the breakers in the house to snap open (or fuses to blow, depending on how old your house is). Even 10 ohms would pull a current of 12 amps. Most breakers will snap at 12 amps. (A 15 amp breaker can only handle a sustained current of 80% of its rated value). So, if it were the ONLY thing on the breaker, it would STILL cause the breaker to open. If set to 1, that's 120 amps (P=IV 14,400 watts)... lol the fire department would just watch as your house melted into the earth...

I always thought the double cross on the oreo looked like an old tv antennae. 🤷♀️

As a formerly active Freemason and former Worshipful Master of one local lodge, I can tell you that these conspiracy theories cause considerable discussion and amusement among members of the craft. I never once witnessed any discussion of "control" and, in fact, part of the Oath we take when attaining the highest Chair in a Lodge is that we must obey the laws of our nation, nor can we council any sort of anti-government action. That said, if you are interested in politics and getting voted to government office, there's nothing in the Masonic rules that forbids you from doing so. But, while politicians might endure scrutiny from the public, that scrutiny is tenfold from other Freemasons in such an individual's constituency. If you are a Freemason holding public office AND you are corrupt and/or breaking laws, the Freemasons would be rather quick to excommunicate you. They DON'T tolerate individuals breaking laws.
So what was it like being in a cult?
Nobody in human history has ever thought toasters dials are minutes. Everybody knows its hours

Actually, the Oreo thing has more to it. Nabisco, Oreos parent company was purchased by R. J. Reynolds and Phillip Morris (Big Tobacco Companies) in 1980 in an effort to incorporate its "flavors" (flavor country) into the food we eat, making processed foods flavorful and addictive. Nabisco was not the only food company they purchased. Kraft, General foods, Kool-Aid, Tang, and Capri Sun are just some of the others they purchased. The double cross was added as a masonic symbol, and wouldn't you know, big tobacco and freemasonry both wash their hands in secrets.
Wow-- who knew🤔
lol, he just explained that it wasn't, you're not really adding anything to it but only contradicting what he said which its ok,just give us a reference where it says its actually a fact.
Conspiracy theories are not the sign of a stable mind.

20:30 Those little red spots in the egg? I got on once where the whole yoke was red. Noped that monstrosity right out the door.
You can't catch crab with a lobster trap, though millennial watching this will be forever misinformed.
I love your voice, I loved your Picard voice, you sound just like him, and you are a Believer, I can tell, and you are so funny I get your humor, and keep going.... everything your shows are awesome....
(1:49) So-called "air fresheners" are a complete toxic rip-off. If you want your house to smell good:
1. Keep it clean (floors, walls, bedding, toilets, etc.).
2. Don't let garbage pile up (take it out daily).
3. Cook smelly food outside, if possible. (BBQ fish 🤤)
4. Clean up after pets promptly (inc. litter boxes).
5. Keep air circulating throughout your house with open windows and fans.
6. Don't do things that make your house smell bad (smoking, vomiting, farting, etc.).
7. Bake bread and cookies often.
Don't spray chemicals into the air that interfere with your body's natural ability to detect odors that are bad for you.
