existencias. Hi everyone, happy holidays.

0:32

Look, shopping during the holidays can be

0:34

such a drag. Am I right? Ah!

0:39

Okay, yeah. Anyways, so here

0:41

at Dark History, we put together a

0:43

list of out of the ordinary gifts

0:45

for your favorite history buff. Here's

0:48

a list of some of our favorite stories

0:50

over the years that we realized would make

0:52

truly unique and perfect

0:54

gifts. So,

1:07

first up, for that ugly friend

1:09

who loves a classic makeup look,

1:11

may I suggest red

1:13

lipstick, hmm? In

1:17

the early 1900s, women, look, they had

1:19

it pretty rough, okay? Women couldn't do anything. You

1:21

couldn't smile, you couldn't

1:23

smoke, you couldn't wear pants,

1:26

you couldn't use vibrators, you know? And

1:29

also, they didn't have the right to vote. Yeah,

1:32

laundry list of things we couldn't do. And

1:35

that whole no voting part created

1:37

something called the suffrage movement. The

1:39

suffrage movement between 1910 to 1920

1:42

was all about women fighting for

1:44

the right to vote. So,

1:47

these women were known for some pretty

1:49

hardcore, like, protest methods to get their

1:51

point across. I mean, everything

1:53

from hunger strikes to changing themselves

1:55

to realings to smashing windows, I

1:57

mean, all in the name of

1:59

equality. for women. So the

2:01

suffragettes decided, in the name

2:03

of feminism, to take makeup

2:05

back and claim it as

2:07

their own. YAH! I

2:10

feel passionate about lipstick.

2:12

The third wearing red lipstick is a

2:15

symbol of their resistance. Now, when women

2:17

wore red lipstick, it was seen as

2:19

a form of protest. So the next

2:21

time you put on a red lipstick,

2:23

remember you're doing it for the rights

2:26

of women, or maybe

2:28

you're just trying to get laid. Either way,

2:30

good for you! After that, 50 million

2:33

women across America started wearing red lipstick.

2:35

I mean, it wasn't just about women's

2:37

votes either. I think they just liked

2:40

it. By the 1920s,

2:42

red lipstick had become a big

2:44

part of the flapper fashion. You

2:46

know flapper fashion, those cute headbands,

2:48

unlike they had the frills, the

2:50

eyebrows. Love the

2:52

eyebrows. So women, they wanted to

2:55

shock older people who didn't believe

2:57

in wearing makeup. Now to them,

2:59

it wasn't about beauty. It was

3:01

about rebellion and reclaiming something that

3:03

was kind of considered forbidden. And

3:05

honestly, I love that. It's like kind of

3:07

punk rock. Hell yeah, girls! So

3:10

at the time, there were also just

3:12

a lot of technological advances and there

3:14

were factories going up. So

3:16

I guess there was like a lot

3:18

of pollution happening in the cities,

3:20

like high volume areas. So

3:23

the stupidest thing happens. One of

3:25

the marketing tactics to get women

3:27

to buy lipstick was to convince

3:29

them that it would stop germs

3:31

from entering their body when

3:33

they breathe through their mouths.

3:36

The lipstick would prevent germs

3:39

from the pollution from entering

3:41

the mouth. Yeah,

3:43

and I was like, just close your mouth. There

3:46

you go. Use your nose. You're

3:48

welcome, America. Do it for

3:50

you. We don't know which

3:52

tactic work, but we do know that

3:54

thanks to the suffragettes, makeup got a

3:56

huge boost in sales. In fact,

3:59

for years. Cosmetics was the

4:01

biggest industry in the United States right

4:04

after cars, movies, and bootleg liquor.

4:06

Honestly, those are all the things you

4:08

need in life. Cars, movies, bootleg

4:10

liquor, and makeup. I

4:13

love it. And by this

4:15

point, makeup's popularity as a mass-produced

4:17

product was officially here to stay.

4:20

Even after the stock market crashed

4:22

in 1929, triggering the Great Depression,

4:24

and leaving millions of people struggling

4:26

to find work, over 58% of

4:29

women had at least one tube

4:31

of lipstick. Now there are

4:33

reports that women applied lipstick more regularly than

4:35

they were brushing their own teeth. I

4:39

can see that. But the Great Depression was

4:41

so bad that America stopped production on over

4:43

50% of its products simply

4:45

because people didn't have disposable income anymore.

4:48

But the cosmetic business? She

4:50

only got bigger. It's been reported that

4:52

cosmetics was one of the few industries

4:55

that actually grew during the Great Depression.

4:57

In fact, right in the middle of

4:59

all this, makeup icons

5:01

Revlon and Almay opened up

5:04

for business. Now

5:06

it proves something sociologists call

5:08

the lipstick theory. This

5:11

theory says that people are willing

5:13

to sacrifice big expenses for small

5:15

luxuries. Like, uh, you know, you

5:17

may not be able to afford a new car, but at

5:20

least you can feel better about yourself

5:22

because you got this new lipstick. The

5:25

lipstick trend continued into World War II in

5:27

the 1940s, especially after

5:29

the world found out that Adolf

5:32

Hitler hated red lipstick, which is

5:34

like the most random fact, but

5:36

he did. I guess Hitler believed

5:38

that the ideal Aryan woman had

5:40

a pure, unscrubbed face and

5:42

shouldn't wear excessive cosmetics, especially

5:45

red lipstick. So, women

5:47

all around the world proudly wore red

5:50

lipstick as an act of defiance against

5:52

the war and fascism. And

5:54

honestly, I guess they were wanting to feel patriotic

5:56

as well. Like they're wearing a red lip

5:58

and they're like, Hey, hey, hey. Don't you want me, Hiddy?

6:02

Don't you want me, Hiddy? Hey. You

6:05

know, just pissing him off. He hated

6:07

it. I think Hitler was probably just jealous because he wanted

6:09

to wear it. It's usually the case.

6:12

So yeah, all this makeup used during

6:14

the war was seen as a great

6:17

way to boost morale. Oh, and it

6:19

boosted morale all right. So much so

6:21

that the American government even asked a

6:23

famous cosmetic maker, Elizabeth Arden,

6:26

to create a lip and nail color for

6:29

the women serving in the military. I'll

6:31

give you one guess what that color was.

6:37

No guesses? All right. It was red. Come on,

6:39

it was red. But side note, Elizabeth Arden

6:41

is such an iconic makeup line. You guys have no idea. Oh

6:43

my God, I should do a whole video on her. She

6:45

deserves it. Anyway, makeup brands encouraged

6:48

the patriotic use of makeup because

6:50

it was ultimately just good for

6:52

business. They even released lipstick colors

6:54

with strong names like Victory

6:57

Red. And get this,

6:59

red lipstick was even mandatory to

7:01

wear for women who joined the US

7:03

Army. And when the

7:06

1950s rolled around, makeup for

7:08

women was basically not optional,

7:10

especially for young women who

7:12

had money. Makeup, once

7:14

again, was a symbol of

7:16

like your place in the world.

7:18

You know, you had your shit together.

7:20

You were the picture perfect representation of

7:23

feminine ideals. A lot of

7:25

pressure. And then in the 50s, some surveys

7:27

reported that almost all American women wore

7:29

lipstick. And since there was an economic

7:31

boom at this time, people had, you

7:34

know, a little bit of extra cash

7:36

to play with. So women weren't just

7:38

buying one tube of red lipstick or

7:40

like an eyeshadow either. They

7:43

were buying different shades, different colors.

7:45

They were coordinating with their outfits.

7:48

Blue eyeshadow, blue shirt, bitch, come

7:50

for me. Yeah, it was no more

7:52

like one size fits all. It was about having

7:55

a little bit of fun, lots of

7:57

mixing and matching and just doing your

7:59

thing. for some jobs, like if

8:01

you were a flight attendant or even a

8:03

secretary, you would be required to wear

8:06

makeup. It was just

8:08

enforcing gender roles within the workplace.

8:10

Like women wore lipstick and did

8:12

the typing and men wore suits

8:14

and cheated on their wives. Every

8:17

time I go to the doctor and get a

8:19

prescription, I have no clue what the meds are

8:22

going to cost and I don't like surprises, am

8:24

I right? Sometimes it's like, hey, $4.20.

8:28

And then other times it's like $450. It

8:31

makes no sense, it's completely frustrating. Wouldn't it

8:34

be so nice if there was something we

8:36

all could use to take some of the

8:38

guesswork out of prescription pots? Well,

8:40

guess what? Sorry, I didn't

8:42

mean to be so aggressive, but there is.

9:43

Maybe you have a friend or family member

9:45

who doesn't give a shit about cows, or

9:47

maybe they love getting their names misspelled on

9:49

cups. May I suggest to

9:51

you, you pick up a Starbucks gift

9:53

card, but don't go over $5 because

9:56

like you don't like them that much, do you? No.

10:00

in a new era of coffee where

10:02

consumers have gotten a little more curious

10:04

about what exactly is in their

10:06

coffee. I'm talking about the actual

10:08

ingredients, right? Isn't it

10:11

just coffee? Isn't that the ingredient? No.

10:14

I know. I mean

10:17

coffee, dairy, sugar. Those are the foundations

10:19

of most coffee drinks. Pretty simple,

10:21

straightforward. What could

10:23

possibly be scandalous about that?

10:25

Have you heard of a

10:28

little something called recombinant bovine

10:30

gross hormone? Aka RBGH? I

10:33

mean I've seen it, but I was like, no, what the

10:35

hell's up? Well, let me tell you. RBGH

10:37

is a synthetic hormone that was

10:40

approved by the FDA in 1993. But

10:43

funny enough, it's actually banned in

10:45

the European Union and Canada,

10:47

due to potential harm it

10:49

may, it could have

10:52

on the body. And then

10:54

get this. I,

10:57

okay, well, I found out

10:59

that the leading producer of RBGH

11:02

is Monsanto.

11:05

And I think that says enough, right? Now

11:07

ain't that some shit? So I'm

11:09

telling you this, because up until like 2008, Starbucks

11:12

was using milk produced with RBGH.

11:15

When it was found to probably not

11:17

cause any harm to humans who

11:19

ingested it, but it did make

11:21

cows very sick. Yeah,

11:24

I mean that didn't stop Starbucks from continuing

11:26

to use the milk from those sick

11:28

cows. They seem to be aware of the potential

11:31

issues with RBGH as early as the

11:33

year 2000, because they

11:35

claimed that they were going to go

11:37

RBGH free, but then nothing

11:39

happened for years. And then

11:41

finally, when they did stop using it in 2008, it

11:44

was most likely because of the

11:47

public pressure, or maybe they were

11:49

just trying to distance themselves from

11:51

the sick cows controversy. But Starbucks

11:53

started offering dairy alternatives, you

11:56

know, to make them happy, like

11:58

soy milk. Remember when

12:00

like soy milk was huge, it was

12:02

so big, it was out of control, everyone was

12:04

like, fucking slime out. And then

12:07

also coconut milk. Starbucks

12:09

said like, don't worry, I got you. You don't

12:11

want that sick cow milk? Well, you could have

12:13

coconut milk. Coconut milk just tastes like

12:15

gin. Real talk. Sorry, said it,

12:17

but if you like it,

12:20

that's fine. Do your thing,

12:22

girl. Or boy. And

12:24

you don't have to drink regular cow milk. You

12:26

can have shoes now. But honestly, like

12:28

the alternative milk, it

12:31

really aren't like any better. Most of

12:33

them are just sugar water. And that's

12:35

why I like them. For the

12:37

friend or family member who likes spicing things

12:39

up in the bedroom, and they might also

12:41

love Russian literature, I give

12:44

you the girthy Rasputin's penis.

12:49

After Rasputin's daughter moved to Paris to

12:51

do work in the circus, she ran

12:53

to a group of women. It's kind of

12:55

like a fan club. They were

12:57

obsessed with her dad, and they worshiped

13:00

his penis. They're

13:02

like, Oh my God, we love your dad's dick. Apparently

13:05

after Rasputin was killed,

13:08

you soup off, cut

13:10

off Rasputin's penis.

13:13

Yes. And then he put it like

13:15

in a jar or something, and he

13:17

sold it for $8,000. Good for him.

13:22

And he was literally

13:24

worshiped years after Rasputin's

13:27

death. Yeah, he's the dick guy. I know

13:30

you're wondering, because I was wondering the

13:32

same thing. Does the penis still exist?

13:34

Yes, it does. It's on display in

13:37

the Museum of Erotica in St.

13:39

Petersburg. Some people believe

13:41

it's actually like a cow's penis, because

13:43

I don't know, maybe because it's 13

13:46

inches, but I'll let you decide.

13:49

So if you go there, take a picture

13:51

and let me know, like send it to me. Because I'll probably

13:53

never get to see it. Like I

13:55

can't fly out there just to see Rasputin's dick. Maybe.

14:01

Maybe. For the friend or

14:03

family member who's a lover of perfume or

14:05

maybe just fragrances, you know? Have you heard

14:07

about the new fragrance on the market? Smells

14:10

like sex in deer balls, turns many

14:12

people on, and anyone who gets a whiff

14:14

of their scent will just want to drop their

14:17

panties right to the ground. So

14:21

until the 1930s, perfumes were

14:23

strictly made from the things around us

14:26

by Mother Nature herself. You

14:28

can walk in, you know, the

14:30

flowers, the spices, the trees, go

14:32

outside, capture it in a bottle.

14:34

And perfumers would extract these scents

14:36

by mixing them up different ways

14:38

with natural oils and waxes, which

14:40

would then preserve them. And also,

14:43

fun fact, did you know that

14:45

if you smell a very fragrant

14:47

flower, like a rose when it's

14:49

being bloomed, that means you're smelling sex.

14:53

Yeah, you're nasty. So the flower

14:55

is, it's, I guess, hornias is the

14:57

best way to say it because when

15:00

it's ready to be pollinated by

15:02

a bee, it's super fragrant. So

15:05

it's like trying to lure in the bee, like,

15:07

smell me bee, smell me. So I

15:09

don't know, it's just kind of like no wonder we're

15:11

attracted to flowers. Yeah?

15:13

What's always, like the number

15:15

one perfume you smell out there,

15:17

is always a floral scent. Like we still

15:19

try to do this today with the florals.

15:22

I can't stand it. I personally like

15:24

the musky scents. I like to smell like

15:26

I got lost in the woods and like

15:28

a lumberjack man like saved me and

15:30

like we rolled around in

15:32

the leaves and stuff, you know? But

15:34

then I learned that musky scents actually,

15:36

it comes from a frickin'

15:39

deer. More specifically, quote, a

15:41

hairy pouch just the size of golf

15:43

ball in front of the penis. That's

15:46

how they, they like get the

15:49

scents from that. So I

15:51

like deer balls. Yes.

15:54

So I guess that hair pouch is

15:56

actually a gland inside the deer and

15:58

on its own, it smells pretty

16:00

gross, but people say it

16:02

has a sharp urine scent

16:04

and if you combine it with

16:07

ethanol over a few months or

16:09

sometimes years, it starts to smell

16:11

pretty okay. Pretty decent,

16:13

I guess. It's almost like an

16:15

aphrodisiac. Like, oh yeah, you like

16:17

that? You like that

16:20

deer dick smell? I

16:22

like it. I think

16:25

it smells good. Anyway, now we've

16:27

been into deer dick since the

16:29

sixth century. Greek explorers brought it

16:31

to Greece from India, but the

16:33

Arabic people were the ones who

16:35

actually perfected it. Researchers know

16:37

the path it has taken to get to

16:40

us, but no history

16:42

book remembers who the very first person

16:44

was to, I don't know,

16:46

figure out that the ball sack smelled good. Like that,

16:48

you know, I want to know about that guy. What

16:51

was that guy doing? I

16:54

got some questions, but no answers. Millions

16:56

of people into deer balls.

16:59

We love that. Okay, I just want to make myself

17:01

comfortable if you're watching this over on

17:03

YouTube. This chair is not comfortable.

17:06

Okay, anyways, back to the story.

17:08

So deer balls, deer balls are

17:10

just the tip of this

17:13

stinkberg. Another famous fragrance is called

17:15

civet and this is used in

17:17

perfume because like in small amounts

17:19

it makes the fragrance smell velvety

17:22

and radiant, which

17:24

I know I was like,

17:27

what does velvety smell like and

17:30

radiant? I don't know, but that's what

17:32

they claim. It also is considered by

17:34

millions to be an aphrodisiac, meaning,

17:36

you know, it gets you in

17:38

the mood for the rocking and

17:40

rolling. One day I'm gonna figure

17:42

out what the hell I'm doing over here in this

17:45

chair. So if you want to get some

17:47

of this civet, you need to find a special

17:49

kind of cat-like animal. You got to trap it

17:51

in the cage and then once the civet cat

17:53

is in the cage, taunt the animal with a

17:55

stick, so it bites. Then I guess

17:57

they would open the back of the cage. and

18:00

you can collect the civet oil from a

18:02

gland on the outside of its body near

18:04

its taint. I know it's always in the taint.

18:07

But back then, a lot of hunters,

18:09

they would just kill the animals

18:11

and harvest the oil so they didn't have

18:14

to fight them. Many

18:16

of the hunters did this. It was just easier.

18:18

And I'm just saying that lightly because

18:20

it's like nowadays it's inappropriate, but back then

18:22

it was like they're normal and that's

18:24

how they figured it out. I don't know again

18:26

how they were getting this taint

18:28

smell. Like how'd they figure it

18:30

out? That's the missing piece I wanted answers to,

18:33

but we couldn't get any answers. Who

18:36

was sniffing balls? Most of you probably

18:39

know Chanel number five, a very iconic

18:41

fragrance. Yes, almost like there's cat taint

18:44

in that. Now there are a

18:46

bunch of other gross example animal stuff in

18:48

fragrances, but I think we get the point.

18:51

Ho, ho, ho. I

18:54

feel like in school we're taught a

18:56

bunch of nothing, right? And all the

18:58

things that are really important to us, like maybe, I

19:00

don't know, how to fill out a W-2 or like

19:02

handle money, it's just kind of like

19:04

completely ignored. And honestly, when you think about it,

19:06

that's kind of nuts. So

19:08

it's important to have something that can

19:10

help us out financially. And this is

19:13

when rocket money swoops in to save

19:15

20:29

you're down on your luck and you're looking to f***, try

20:32

2 Buck Chuck. A

20:36

man named Charles Shaw was taking

20:38

a totally different approach to wine than

20:40

Fred. He made award winning

20:42

wine that people were living for.

20:46

It was a French inspired wine and people

20:48

thought it was incredible. And

20:50

it was American. Ugh,

20:53

so annoying. Charles' famous wine cost

20:55

$13.50 in the 80's which

20:58

is around $40 today. Though

21:00

he had years of being known as this

21:02

great wine maker, Charles had

21:04

a really bad couple of years. People

21:06

in America stopped buying his wine,

21:08

his wife filed for divorce, and

21:11

then he had to declare bankruptcy.

21:14

So, who swoops in to save the day? You

21:16

guessed it, Fred Framzia. So

21:19

Fred, he comes in and he takes

21:21

over Charles Shaw wines and takes it

21:23

from bougie name brand

21:26

to super affordable real

21:28

quick. He starts using grapes from lesser

21:30

known areas of California like he

21:32

did with that Zinfandel situation and

21:35

he ends up cutting costs big

21:37

time. And then, in 2002, Charles

21:40

Shaw hit the shelves of

21:42

a little grocery store chain

21:44

named Trader Joe's. The

21:46

bottle says it's a private label, whatever that

21:49

means, you know. Cool. It's got the legit

21:51

Charles Shaw stamp on it and the best

21:53

of all, it's $1.99. So

21:56

people went nuts. But the press,

21:58

they ended up dragging Fred for

22:00

it saying that he was ruining

22:02

the reputation of Charles Shaw wine

22:05

but not really cuz like he

22:07

went bankrupt. He ruined his own

22:09

name. Sorry. Ooh, hot take. And

22:11

not just Charles Shaw but many

22:13

people in the wine industry believe

22:15

that Fred's bargain wine was making

22:17

the whole industry look bad but

22:20

Fred never cared. He was getting his money. He

22:22

was getting his checks. He's like whatever. For

22:25

many years Charles Shaw wine was

22:27

the Costco hot dog of the

22:29

wine world and it stayed $1.99. It

22:35

was only recently that the prices went up

22:37

but it's still under $5

22:39

so I mean that's a good deal. I can't

22:41

say if it's good or bad wine so let me

22:43

know in the comment section. By 2009, 2 Buck Chuck

22:45

had sold 400 million bottles. When

22:50

this happened Fred issued a statement to the

22:52

press where he said quote take that and

22:54

shove it Napa. Yeah party.

22:57

For the MLM lover always looking

22:59

for the newest and greatest health

23:01

trend she puts the bitch and

23:04

bitumen. Mummy powder. One

23:09

day an archaeologist was doing his thing

23:11

digging shit up, dusting it

23:13

off, you get it. Then he looks further

23:15

and sees a giant building made of

23:17

stones with ancient markings on them. All

23:20

my buddies have been like finding this crazy shit. Ted

23:22

said he found a clock and I can't

23:24

let Ted be the coolest in the group you know. Like I got

23:26

to get out there and see what I can find. But

23:29

he's not familiar with this specific area and

23:31

pyramid so he calls for some help. They

23:34

had already hired a local guide to

23:36

help on the expedition but now he

23:39

needed to ask for a little more help. So he's

23:41

like hey man I'll give you a crisp clean $20

23:43

bill if you show

23:45

me around that pyramid. And the guide is

23:47

like no way man like

23:49

you know no I'm supposed to protect this

23:51

pyramid get lost. And the

23:53

other guy's like please it's for education like

23:56

please what about $40. Eventually

23:59

the guide caves in and agrees and

24:01

when he opens up the heavy stone door inside

24:03

is one of the most incredible

24:05

things anyone has ever laid eyes

24:08

on. First of all this space

24:10

is huge inside. Not only

24:12

that it's super tall wide and seems

24:14

to be going on forever. He finds

24:16

out that this is a place where tons

24:18

of bodies have been buried for thousands of

24:20

years. This guy's like damn this is

24:23

some next level shit. So this

24:25

guy isn't used to it because he's used to like

24:27

bearing bodies underground. Tombs new

24:29

concept a little different. He approaches

24:31

a coffin and out of his own curiosity

24:34

opens it up and he struck

24:36

gold because it's a mummy baby. In

24:39

addition to finding the mummies themselves

24:41

the researchers found out a lot

24:43

about the mummification process. So

24:45

as this is happening the Egyptian language is

24:47

being translated and people started to pick up

24:50

on something. They're looking at

24:52

the mummies they see this tar they see

24:54

the steps and they have a

24:56

light bulb moment like wait a second

24:59

this looks like bitumen. It

25:01

smells like bitumen. It

25:03

must be bitumen. I mentioned

25:05

bitumen a little bit earlier but let's break

25:07

it down more here to explain why this

25:10

is such a great find. Back

25:12

in the day especially in the 16th

25:14

century medicine was an ideal it was

25:16

still very experimental. I mean they were

25:18

drilling holes in people's heads for epilepsy.

25:21

They were doing bloodletting and putting leeches

25:23

on people. It's just a wild time

25:25

and there was one thing that medicine considered

25:27

the cure-all. Bitumen. Doctors

25:30

would give out bitumen for

25:32

everything and I mean everything.

25:35

If you had a toothache bitumen.

25:38

Skin disease? Bitumen. Fevers.

25:41

Leprosy. Gout. Brain aneurysms.

25:44

Stubbed your big toe? Bitumen. And

25:47

that's just to name a few. It's just fun to

25:49

say. Bitumen? Bitchumen? Bitumen?

25:53

Bitchumen? Bitchumen?

25:57

So everyone's really wanting this stuff and it's

26:00

actually very rare and hard to find.

26:03

So people are thinking, well when they go into this

26:05

tomb, they're like, oh my god we found bitumen, like

26:07

baby we're about to make a lot of money.

26:10

Okay so they're like we see the bitumen in

26:12

this tomb but how are we going

26:14

to get it from the mummies and

26:16

take it back home to ingest it?

26:18

Because I do have a stomach ache so I need to take

26:20

some bitumen right now but how am I gonna do that? Because

26:23

it's almost mummy, you know? Okay so

26:25

this sounds really creepy and uncomfortable but look that's

26:27

history right? So these people they

26:29

would end up stealing these mummies, they would take

26:31

them back home, they would unwrap them and

26:33

then they would crush it down, crush the

26:35

mummy down into powder and then

26:38

would ingest it for health benefits.

26:41

Basically the same reason people drink bone broth

26:43

today. So they crushed it up and got

26:45

the bitumen but they

26:48

got all the other bits and pieces of

26:50

the mummy as well. I'm talking the bones,

26:52

the skin, the muscle, all of it. And yes

26:54

all of that was powdered down and people

26:57

were eating it. So all

26:59

of this is going on and this ends up

27:01

getting the attention of the King of England who

27:04

then decides to step in. King

27:06

Charles the second. So King Charles

27:08

had a doctor named Nicholas

27:10

Lefebvre, I think. But

27:13

anyways Nicholas he was a bit of

27:15

a unique character. For example one of

27:17

his favorite remedies for a headache was

27:19

to grind up a human skull into

27:21

powder. Yes. Human,

27:24

hopefully done, mix it with a little

27:26

bit of cocoa or chocolate. So

27:28

it's kind of like they're making their own little cocoa powder with

27:31

head. So

27:34

this doctor is introduced to this new

27:36

innovative, shall we say, alternative medicine called

27:38

mummy powder. And you already know if

27:41

he was into skull and his hot cocoa he

27:43

was going to get in on this mummy powder

27:45

craze. It was right up his

27:47

alley. So the King's doctor again

27:49

was like a very influential guy.

27:51

So once he gives mummy powder

27:53

its stamp of approval, oh

27:56

everybody now wants to get their hands on this

27:58

powder. I mean if the King was- was eating

28:00

it, using it for whatever. We

28:02

should too, right? Everyone's like, I saw King

28:04

Charles drinking skulls and mummy powder, so I got

28:07

skulls and mummy powder too. So

28:09

the doctor is telling people like, hey, you don't

28:11

need to just be eating mummy powder, but

28:13

you need to be getting it from the right

28:15

kind of mummy. But what qualified as the right

28:18

kind of mummy? He said that the ideal mummy

28:20

would be from Egypt or Libya. Now on

28:22

top of that, the way the person

28:24

died made a big difference in terms

28:26

of quality. A quicker death

28:29

would produce a better powder. That's

28:31

right, according to this doctor, the

28:33

best mummies were young, healthy people

28:35

who had died quick, sudden

28:38

deaths. Ideally, suffocation would be

28:40

a great one, or if they

28:42

got hit by a cart, ideal. If

28:44

the person had been healthy right before they died, and

28:47

if they were mummified the right way,

28:49

their spirit was perfectly preserved. And according

28:51

to the doctor, the youth and the

28:54

strength of the perfect mummy would be

28:56

absorbed by the person who ate it.

28:58

So eating the body of a young,

29:00

healthy mummy was like eating organic chicken.

29:03

It was just better for you. But

29:06

King Charles and his doctor weren't the only influential

29:09

people into the stuff. Like most

29:11

weird trends and diets, the mummy powder

29:13

fads started as something with the rich

29:15

and powerful. I'm imagining it

29:18

being like a very expensive goop

29:20

product. You know, someone like Gwyneth

29:22

Paltrow would have been all about,

29:24

like steam your vag, and snort

29:26

some mummy powder. One huge

29:28

fan of mummy powder was Leonardo da

29:30

Vinci. He said, quote, "'We

29:32

preserve our life with the death of others.

29:35

"'In a dead thing, life remains which,

29:38

"'when it is reunited with the

29:40

stomach of the living, "'regains sensitive

29:42

and intellectual life,' end quote." Is

29:45

anyone checking up on these Ninja Turtles? They seem

29:47

to be all throughout history just making some wild

29:49

shots, right? Like they're always around.

29:52

So yes, this whole crushing up a dead

29:54

body and eating it becomes the

29:57

latest and greatest fad. But

29:59

there were so many. something that even the king's doctor didn't know

30:01

about this fabulous medicine. The

30:03

street name for mummy powder

30:06

was actually mummia, which

30:08

is a translation from the Arabic word

30:10

resin. Oh,

30:13

that all goes back to that tar

30:15

like substance from the mummification process that

30:17

all these people believed was actually

30:19

bitumen. So one archaeologist is

30:21

poking around a tomb on the

30:24

walls of some writing in Arabic. Now

30:26

one guy who can read it is like,

30:28

Hey, I think that says mummia. It says

30:30

mummia right here, you guys. Should we just

30:32

call them mummies? And a second

30:34

archaeologist might have said like, hold up mummia, as

30:37

in like the ancient word for bitumen.

30:40

And then another guy is like, you guys are all

30:42

crazy, but this is going to make us rich. I

30:45

guess there was a translation error. Mm.

30:49

That's unfortunate. Just

30:51

later in 1597, John Gerard, a

30:53

well-known herbalist and author at the

30:55

time took a look at mummia

30:57

and he was like, lol,

30:59

wait a second. I know

31:02

bitumen. This is not bitumen. So

31:04

he went back through all of the information he could

31:06

find to figure it out. It

31:08

turns out he was onto something.

31:10

The tar used on mummies was

31:12

not bitumen, but a similar substance

31:15

known as piss asphalt. I'm

31:17

not kidding. It's literally called piss

31:19

asphalt. Piss

31:21

asphalt. Yeah, we

31:23

could just sit and talk about this all damn

31:25

day. Piss asphalt? Piss asphalt. I

31:28

was like, are you sure that's how you pronounce it? Piss

31:31

asphalt. I don't

31:33

know you guys. What is up? I don't know.

31:35

This world is just weird. So you're probably

31:38

thinking piss asphalt is probably when someone

31:40

pisses on asphalt, right? Because that's what

31:42

I thought. Piss asphalt. That makes

31:44

sense. It's not that. It's

31:46

not pissing on asphalt. I learned it's

31:49

actually just a tar like substance that

31:51

does nothing good for you. I

31:53

know how boring with that name. Come

31:56

on. Weirdly, no

31:58

one really cared. assume when people

32:00

found out that they were eating dead bodies with

32:03

no actual benefits, instead eating

32:05

pure tar, that maybe

32:07

they would stop. But oh no, the

32:10

ball was rolling down the hill already and all

32:12

the cool kids were doing it.

32:14

It's trendy. People think it's healing.

32:16

It's not like they were

32:18

calling it human dust. It has a cool

32:21

name, Mamiya. Mamiya felt cool. It

32:23

didn't have a negative connotation. So the

32:25

Europeans were still going ham for Mamiya.

32:27

Mamiya pieces or powder could still be found

32:29

in shops all over Europe. Nobody gave a

32:32

shit if it was good for you. They

32:34

were essentially like those boner pills that you could

32:36

buy at 7-Eleven. You know,

32:38

they advertise them, right? They

32:40

don't work. That's what I heard. But

32:43

people still buy them. I mean,

32:45

they didn't give me a boner. Did

32:47

they work for you, Paul? Exactly.

32:51

They didn't work for Paul either. Well,

32:54

he is a boner. He is a boner.

32:56

Paul is a boner. Anyway, your local

32:58

corner store, even your doctor, would have

33:00

Mamiya on hand because there was still

33:02

a bit to man. But

33:04

getting mummies out of Egypt wasn't even easy.

33:07

I mean, technically it was still illegal.

33:09

So it required a lot of planning,

33:11

a lot of being shady, a lot

33:13

of scheming, a lot of lying. Just

33:15

too much work. You've probably

33:17

heard of micro dosing before, right? I mean,

33:19

it seems like it could cure everything.

33:21

A headache, micro dosing,

33:24

insomnia, micro dosing, grilled

33:26

cheese, addict, micro

33:29

dosing. Yes, all of it, right?

33:31

But I still wasn't convinced. I was

33:33

like, sure, you guys, that is until

33:36

I tried these gummies from micro dose.

33:38

Micro dose gummies have the perfect entry

33:40

level doses of THC that help you

33:42

feel just the right amount of good.

33:44

I really love them because they help

33:46

me focus on what I'm doing and

33:49

I'm not constantly thinking about like, oh

33:51

my God, you're gonna die because everything

33:53

sucks. You know, I mean, sometimes I'm

33:55

juggling way too many things at once.

33:57

The micro dose gummies also are great.

34:00

at night when I wanna put down my phone

34:02

and get invested in this book I'm reading. Oh,

34:04

I love it, because it just kind of calms

34:06

the brain and helps you focus. I

34:08

never expected this, but it helps me

34:10

with my exercise routine as well. I

34:13

take a gummy one hour before I

34:15

start my warmup and I feel focused

34:17

throughout the entire workout. It's disturbing,

34:19

because I don't wanna like working

34:21

out, but I might.

34:24

Listen, before microdose gummies, I was

34:26

like, hmm, sure,

34:29

J.M. But they really have enhanced my

34:31

life in one easy to

34:33

take and entry level friendly dose.

34:36

And if you're a little more familiar with

34:38

THC, you know, maybe macro

34:40

dose, they have

34:42

gummies with higher doses as

35:09

And let me know how it goes. Ooh,

35:11

don't you wanna be the cool auntie

35:14

this year? The bougie auntie? Well, may

35:16

I recommend the Tyson chicken nuggets? Just

35:19

like Tyson's motto, get them when they're

35:21

young with chicken nuggets. In

35:25

the early 1980s, McDonald's was really

35:27

struggling to sell something new

35:30

to customers after that burger

35:32

backlash. So they tried

35:34

testing tons of different products, like

35:37

a deep fried pot pie, a bite

35:39

sized onion ring. They even tried

35:42

fried chicken, but nobody

35:44

could compete with KFC. KFC's

35:46

like, don't even try, don't even

35:48

try bitch. Finally, the McDonald's CEO

35:50

was like, hey, why don't we do

35:53

like a bite sized piece of chicken?

35:56

What if we called it a chicken

35:58

nugget? Right?

36:01

I bet that guy went home and was like, I did that shit. So

36:04

they called up Tyson, right, get

36:06

him on the line, and together with

36:08

like a food scientist named Robert

36:11

C Baker from Cornell University, in

36:13

1983, together they burst the McNuggets. Yes!

36:20

Ooh, nuggets! McNuggets

36:22

make their debut on the McDonald's

36:24

menu. Now this is a day I

36:27

celebrate. This is my Christmas, the birthday

36:29

of the McNugget. And

36:31

like, look, everyone was stoked. They loved this shit. It

36:34

was an instant hit. They were like, what is this?

36:36

They didn't know. It was a McNugget.

36:38

Barbecue sauce? Try that, bitch. Change

36:40

the game. We

36:43

grew up eating McDonald's a lot, and

36:45

I would always get chicken nuggets, and my sister would get

36:47

the sweet and sour sauce, and I was like, ew, I

36:49

would get the barbecue. Barbecue is way better than the sweet

36:51

and sour. Please, don't even, you can't

36:53

convince me, okay? And

36:56

to this day, I mean, my chicken nuggets

36:58

are my like, comfort food. Don't

37:00

comfort me, I'm sorry. But I do

37:02

like a 10 piece. What are

37:04

you gonna do about it? Okay? I

37:06

know. Great.

37:08

Okay, so anyways, McNuggets, a

37:11

damn hit. They are bangin', poppin',

37:14

livin', laughing, lovin'.

37:17

Yep. McDonald's, they were literally running

37:19

out of chicken daily. Can

37:21

you imagine? The news was doing reports

37:23

on how people would wait in long

37:25

lines just to get their hands on

37:27

a McNugget, and Tyson was becoming the

37:30

go-to chicken company when it came

37:32

to fast food. Does

37:34

your dog have flat ass titties? Are

37:36

you like, come here, Jack,

37:39

come here, and his titties aren't floppin'?

37:41

Well, guess what? You can change that

37:43

by getting breast implants for the small

37:45

dog in your life. Next

37:47

time you go for a walk, everyone will be asking

37:49

for her to run. They'll be asking, who is

37:51

that bitch? You know? Titties

37:54

bouncing? Who doesn't love titties? Well,

37:57

Paul doesn't. The

38:01

era of the pinup girl

38:03

pops off. Pinup girls

38:05

were like posters of sexy Hollywood actresses

38:07

that soldiers from World War II would

38:09

hang up on their walls and just

38:12

like drool over. And

38:14

all these posters featured sexy

38:16

ladies with a large chest

38:19

maybe, I don't know. In this carrying

38:21

through to when Playboy magazine first

38:23

hit shelves everywhere in 1953, women

38:26

with curves and shapes were now like

38:29

the envy of women nationwide.

38:31

Curves and round boobies are

38:33

being embraced and more women wanted

38:35

to embrace it too. I mean, padded bras

38:37

were just not cutting it anymore and women

38:39

wanted the real thing, but not. Like how

38:41

can I get the real thing, but like

38:43

not? And science wasn't quite ready to supply

38:45

that demand. That is, until a

38:48

couple of doctors in Texas, of

38:50

course Texas, with the help of

38:52

a major corporation and a dog

38:54

with boobs come into play.

38:58

Oh yeah, a dog

39:00

with boobs. You got that right.

39:03

That was my maple impress nation. They

39:08

hate me. Why can't I ever say what I

39:11

feel? Okay, now we're in the

39:13

year 1961. And

39:15

down in the Lone Star State, two

39:17

doctors are about to prove that

39:20

everything is, in fact, bigger in

39:22

Texas. They really went off.

39:24

Dr. Thomas Cronin, a plastic surgeon,

39:26

was at a conference in New

39:28

Orleans. And while he's there learning

39:31

about all the new improvements happening in

39:33

the world of plastic surgery, that's

39:35

when he comes across a

39:37

company named Dow Corning Corporation.

39:39

Do you know the Dow

39:41

Corporation? Yeah, those goons, it's

39:43

them. Small world, right?

39:46

Anyway, Cronin learns that the chemical

39:48

company Dow, I'm totally new to an

39:50

episode on them, had created something

39:52

called silicone gel. And the company

39:54

proudly claimed that not only could

39:56

it be used to make an

39:58

artificial body part, also did

40:00

not react with the body.

40:02

Translation, it was safe to

40:05

put inside a person. Yay, you

40:07

know, yay. A chemical company making a

40:09

safe substance in the 60s? Sure,

40:12

okay, all right. Anyways,

40:15

as the story goes, Dr. Frank

40:17

Gero, Cronin's business partner, stopped by

40:19

a blood bank in Texas. When

40:21

he walked inside, Gero was surprised

40:24

because he found blood being

40:26

stored in plastic IV bags. I know,

40:28

now this is normal to us. Okay,

40:31

listen, we're like, yeah, and? But back

40:33

then, everything was stored in glass. So

40:35

he's seen this and he's like, weird. So he picks

40:38

one up, he gives it a little honk

40:40

honk, you know, and he

40:43

looks around, he's like, hey guys, does this feel like a boob

40:45

to you? Or is it just me?

40:47

Kind of feels like a boob. So this doctor,

40:49

yeah, he's a doctor. He's like, this feels like

40:51

a boob. He's feeling inspired because he ends

40:53

up getting in touch with Dr. Cronin and

40:56

he proposes the idea of a breast

40:58

implant that feels exactly like the blood

41:00

in a bag. Yeah,

41:03

he's like, yeah, you see it? So

41:05

the two brainstorm and agree that the

41:07

content of the bag needed to be thicker than

41:09

blood but something that replicates the feel

41:11

of a boob. And girl Cronin

41:13

had just the thing. He's like, that's

41:16

funny, I heard about silicone, whatever, just

41:18

about a minute ago, you know?

41:21

So the doctors partner up with the

41:23

head of Dow Corning's Medical Research Division

41:25

and the three of them create

41:28

a thin clear bag filled with

41:30

silicone gel. They call it the

41:32

Cronin gyro implant, AKA the

41:35

silicone breast implant. Wow,

41:37

pioneers. So they

41:39

got this prototype and I'm sure they're probably

41:42

fondling it and giggling, you know? And then

41:44

they realize that they have a little situation

41:46

on their hands. Oh, no, wait,

41:49

a situation. Ah,

41:51

okay, they may be onto something here

41:54

but they have to test the implant

41:56

and make sure it works before getting

41:58

all too excited. looking

42:00

at each other like I'm not doing it and the other

42:02

guy is like I'm not doing it either like mm-hmm so

42:05

they come back to the drawing

42:07

board hmm who could they test

42:09

this silicone breast on or in

42:11

really they look around the room and

42:14

they spot a dog a

42:17

dog sitting in the corner her name

42:19

is Meralta and boy does she

42:21

look like she needs some titties

42:23

hey am I right yeah now

42:26

this next part is going to sound

42:28

made up okay I know but

42:30

I'm telling you it's 100% true I swear okay

42:33

look these guys these doctors

42:35

decided poor innocent as Meralta the

42:37

dog was going to be their

42:39

guinea pig she was going to

42:41

try out the very first fake

42:43

silicone titty so the doctors put

42:45

as Meralta on their operating table

42:47

knocked her out made her made

42:49

an incision and put a biscuit

42:51

size silicone implant inside the dog

42:53

they sewed her up and then

42:55

observed her for a few days

42:58

when I heard this I pictured

43:00

like look I pictured

43:02

in my mind a cute ass

43:04

little dog with some fine ass titties

43:07

right that's what I'm picturing in my mind

43:12

and I was like I don't know for sure what it looks

43:14

like so we I started googling

43:16

around and there's not one single photo

43:18

out there but lucky for us we

43:21

have an artist rendering of what

43:23

as Meralta may or may not have

43:25

looked like see he's

43:28

at night I was right those are

43:30

some fine-ass titties so

43:32

the doctor is observed as Meralta over

43:35

some time and they noticed absolutely

43:37

nothing and that's exactly what they were

43:39

hoping for as Meralta seemed fine and

43:42

she showed like no adverse side effects

43:44

I mean to be fair dogs can't talk

43:46

I mean for

43:49

all we know she could have been like hey

43:51

this is extremely painful but we

43:54

don't know the doctors reported that they would have

43:56

kept the implant in longer if Esmeralda didn't

43:59

try to Shew through her stitches.

44:02

Poor Esmeralda, you know? Shoot. And

44:05

then it got me wondering, I wonder what happened to

44:07

her, really. I mean, if you know her whereabouts, please

44:09

let me know. I

44:12

mean, Esmeralda walked so we really could run.

44:14

Put some respect on her name, right? You

44:17

have those titties because of Esmeralda. She

44:19

needs something. An

44:21
