Brit Reacts to The Best Invention From Each US State 

vulcanizing rubber made it where rubber didn't just crumble away as it was used. it gave it flexability. SUPER important invention

Bruh! I have watched a lot of your videos and subscribed. Love to see and watch your reactions. Being an American I find it actually quite comical. But DUDE! LOL This one was one of the best, your reaction to the guy's title of his video was a classic. I showed it to a couple of friends and we were just dying. Keep pushing these vid's out, these are awesome!!

Old rags,pages from catalogs, grass, leaves , corn husks, are a few items used to clean up after having a bm.

A Lewis t-shirt, "I'd have given up on the 5th one". 🤣

before TP there was corn cobs and pine cones and the Sears catalog lol

Skiing and snowboarding is actually pretty popular in the us

They had gaslights and whale oil lamps and stuff before the light bulb. And Chinese people used toilet paper before the U.S. existed lol. Maybe they didn't have paper specifically designed as toilet paper, but they had pretty delicate rice paper.

Wisconsin is known, or should I say Waukesha(my town) is known for Les Paul who is the inventor of the electric guitar! Way cooler than a blender!!!

The best things about Illinois are penicillin and Komen Race for the Cure. Both lifesavers came out of Peoria.

I live in North Carolina and we are the birth place of flight

The Grand Canyon is very mysterious.

Missouri would’ve been much better off with the invention of store-bought sliced bread, Chillicothe, Missouri

Cotton candy was actually invented by a dentist because he wanted to reduce the damage that hard candies were doing and make a soft alternative.

8:22 the cotton gin allowed cotton to be cleaned on a large scale. Each puff of cotton can contain hundreds of seeds, and each plant can hold a few dozen puffs of cotton. You used to comb through and remove all the seeds by hand which was extremely time consuming which made cotton (especially clean cotton that can be run through a loom, seeds left in cotton can jam and even damage loom's) expensive. Cotton gin's allowed cotton to be cleaned extremely quickly by machine and was one of the most importing contributors to the industrial revolution, right next to the printing press and steam engine.

I am from Oklahoma and even though the parking meter is a widely used invention, I believe that the shopping cart, buggey, or trolley, whatever you like to call it is a more important invention.

I'm from Wisconsin and our best invention is Deep Fried Cheese Curds (with Ranch Dressing)

I’m from Indiana. We came up with the first color movie projector, the original design of the Gatling gun used in the American Civil War (Before Gatling tweaked it to fire more than 3,000 rounds per minute, the original only fired 352 rounds per minute.), we started Movie Theater Popcorn made by the Orville Reddenbacher Popcorn Company, modern gaming when Castle Wolfenstein came out on the Apple 2 platform, and Wonder Bread.

I love that the video talks about the invention of roller blades while showing roller skates, not roller blades. /sigh

I'm from Tennessee (Nashville). Not really an "invention" per se......but, Jack Daniels whiskey is made here and it's pretty high on my list. LOL. 😁

To be fair, the atomic bomb was a cool invention. Sure, it was used as a weapon - but the research there was also used for nuclear energy production.

A "did you know" from Alabama, speaking of hearing aids, the famous deaf/blind writer, Helen Keller, was born in Alabama. If you haven't tried Buffalo Wings with Ranch dressing, (instead of blue cheese) you're missing out. I was born in Florida (the image in the video is Lake Eola in Orlando), and we regularly give thanks to Mr. Carrier for inventing the air con unit. And once upon a time, they made "Gator Gum." It was made to moisten the mouth, much like Gatorade quenches thirst. Of course it's from the University of Florida, because they are the Gators. Now, for Georgia where I am now: the cotton gin is a two sided issue - Eli Whitney was a huge abolitionist (getting rid of slaves), and thought the cotton gin (invented 1794) would help release the slaves, since they wouldn't have to pick the seeds out of the cotton by hand. But it turned out the opposite - more cotton was produced, so more slaves were needed. Whitney had the right heart, but it backfired on him. Sorry for the edit, but had to add that I wasn't sure about calculators (though we had them when I was in school in the 70s-90s), and asked my mom. They used abacuses in school. You'll have to look up a picture. Like counting with beads on a board. She'd thrown hers away as the new technology made math so much easier, so I never learned how to use one. Oh, and before electric lights there was gas. Big deal to some who were afraid to have a flammable gas pumped into their homes. They did the same with electricity. They were sure either gas or electricity would burn their houses down. Though rare, it does happen. Probably less than with tons of candles around.

When I managed a photography studio in Helena, Montana back in the 1970s, I met and came to know "Old Man Holter," creator of the wearable heart monitor. At that time, he had just gone from mini reel-to-reel tape recording to the new high-tech "cassette" medium. He was a hoot. At the time, he was semi-retired and was playing around with stainless steel sheets and dynamite to create bits of art. "Eccentric" was the term everyone used when we discussed him. An amazing man.

Here from Minnesota, there's just SO many inventions to list. Roller blades are cool, but... There's water skis, the taconite process, the black box, nerf balls, twister , furnace thermostats, pop-up toasters, milky way candy bar (and the mars candy company in general.), closed-cabin commercial plane, freight-cooling system for trucks, electronic autopilots, magnetic recording tape, tonka trucks, packaged cake mix, bundt pans, snow blowers, open-heart surgery, blood pumps/ECMO, in-ear hearing aids, climate controlled shopping centers, recreational snowmobiles, implantable pacemakers, deep-sea submarines, skyways, retractable seat belts, first computer to be classed as a supercomputer (Control Data Corporation 6600), prosthetic heart valves, organ transplants, Crisp-crust frozen pizzas, NordicTrack, Satellite TV broadcasting, Sleep number beds, microwave popcorn, Ziagen (big breakthrough in anti-AIDS), and throwable tactical micro robots, Post-its, sandpaper, scotch tape, (basically every 3M product.), oxygen masks for planes, ....

In '60s at my Grandma's house in KY we used an "Out House" to go to the bathroom. (Her house had too small of a sewage system.) There was a basket of shucked corn cobs for wiping in the corner. The corn cobs came from the "feeder corn" for the cows, pigs and chickens. It was a "two seater" incase more than one needed relief 😅

I remember this - correction for Texas, it’s the integrated circuit (chip, microchip, IC), invented by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments in Dallas in 1958. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics for that in 2000. I mean there ain’t nothing in the modern world without chips. Kilby ALSO led the team that invented the 1st handheld calculator there in 1968 and holds that patent. I think that’s what the guy in the video was referring to but he wasn’t clear.

Pre toilet paper: newspaper, magazine pages, leaves, corn cobs, anything available.

They missed a very important one. Utah/California invented the internet. You're welcome everyone.

Utah has such a history of invention. Philo T. Farnsworth, the inventor of the Television, was from Utah. The first artificial heart was Utah, along with the electric guitar, hearing aids, car stereo, electric traffic light, DVD, Zamboni, frisbees, and FREAKING VIDEO GAMES. (The creator of PONG was from Clearfield).

I’m from Idaho and I’ve never known anyone to fish with explosives! 🙄 But I do live about 45 mins away from the place where the TV was first thought of! 😂 I don’t think we like to brag too much about our state because we want to keep it low key so we don’t have a ton of people wanting to start moving here! Even tho we’re starting to see just that. ☹️ We have some of the most amazing scenery and we are within a couple of hours driving distance to Island Park, West Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley and so much more of Gods most beautiful country ever created! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Um… JK, Idaho sucks! Nobody would want to live here!! YUCK it’s just all potatoes!! 👍🏼 I promise!! 😂

The Edison thing is oversimplified. He didn't invent the light bulb. They were around before he was born. However, he bought the patent and found a way to make it (the incandescent bulb) more accessible to everyday households. However, it is Tesla's AC system that we use today.

Just some from my state of Michigan. Breakfast cereal, fiber optics, hospital beds, video games, synthetic penicillin, baby food, as as mentioned the assembly line (used in nearly every company today). Also not an “invention” per se, but MOTOWN. Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, on and on and on. ❤

Boom Chicka Pop (the popcorn brand) was created in the town I was born in. Their first factory is a building near where my dad currently works. Also, according to her, my old history teacher's great uncle invented steel wool. I'm also surprised that they didn't mention SPAM being invented in Minnesota. I personally don't like it all that much, but people around the world do.

I’m from Oregon and Nike shoes were invented here! The Phillips head screwdriver, The corn dog, tater tots, Plywood and Marion Berries. That’s all I can think of for now our beautiful country has contributed so much to the world to better everyone’s day to day lives I am grateful and proud to be American 🇺🇸.

I’m telling you right now that North Carolina’s contribution to flight is providing a beach and wind!! All research, all development, all construction was performed at a small bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio by the Wright brothers who LIVED in Dayton! They also invented the wind tunnel in the same shop in order to test the aerodynamics of their designs. They spent several years testing different designs trying to figure it out. NONE of this was done in North Carolina! In fact, the shop still stands and is a national landmark. Honest to God, N Carolina’s total contribution to flight was wind and flat area. Another fun little thing created in Ohio is Calvin and Hobbs.

The story behind the ice cream cone is interesting, he ran out of bowls, and an adjacent booth was selling pancakes, so he took some pancakes and rolled them into a cone making the first ice cream cone, later on they make proper sugar cones, but it was hotcakes that were used first.

Airplanes were definitely an Ohio invention. They have have done the test flights in North Carolina, but they designed and invented the airplane in Ohio. The government acknowledges this as well, since Ohio is called "The Birthplace of Aviation" and they slapped that airplane and an image of an astronaut on the moon on the state quarter. Dude's tripping if he thinks he can attribute that to North Carolina.

The place you thought you saw a face in the rocks and want to travel on horseback is Sedona Arizona. It's my favorite place in the entire world. It's not only visually stunning, but there's a feeling you get there that's hard to descibe. They say it's an area with a strong energy vortex due to ley lines... I don't know, but whatever it is, it feels wonderful.

Other cool inventions from Washington State: the Backpack, Bread Clips, Pickleball, and the Bass Guitar.

I think you're really cool and you're an "American" at heart.. I would trade places with you in a heartbeat though lol.. I think you'd have a blast here in the US considering how much there is to offer and how much freedom there is.. Can't wait to see your stuff when you do eventually get here!!

Come on, the Wright brothers invented the airplane in Ohio. Get your own thing, North Carolina.

Before the invention of the National Park, "non native Americans" were permitted to go and destroy whatever land they came across. The inventor basically persuaded government to create a zone of land that preserves nature and wildlife. Thus the National Park. And I'd say it's one of the most valuable inventions ever.

I'd give Ohio the credit for the invention of the propeller-driven airplane, since that's where Orville and Wilbur Wright actually did the work of designing and building the Wright Flyer. They went to Kittyhawk North Carolina to test their invention during late winter, because of the reliability of the wind direction and strength during that part of the year. North Carolina does claim the prize for being where the airplane was proven to work, though.

I'm from Kentucky and my favorite invention on this list is the Particle Accelerator😅 Well according to my adopted father before Toilet Paper. People used either a red corn cob and a white corn cob to see if ya needed to use the red one again or a Sears & Roebuck catalog. He also recounted a few times he got a paper cut on his back side😅 Keep in mind my father is a ligit boomer and served in the Vietnam Conflict.

The Wright Brothers lived in Dayton, Ohio. They traveled four times to Kittyhawk , NC 1900-1903 by train and boat to do their early flight testing.

Greatest invention of Missouri is the bread slicing machine invented by Otto Frederick Rohwedder. The first commercial use of the machine was by the Chillicothe Baking Company of Chillicothe, Missouri, who sold their first slices on July 7, 1928. This invention led to the expression “the greatest thing since sliced bread.” I actually met a descent of his who told me that he received very little money from his patent.

I'm from Missouri, and my father was one of the design engineers for the Gemini and Apollo Space Missions, like the one that went to the moon. He also helped design the F-15 aircraft and he personally debugged the Goodyear flight simulator, a very early working model.

Ohio is one of the biggest states for great inventions! Don’t forget phones invented by Alexander Graham Bell in Cincinnati! Airplanes, hot dog chili/coney sauce, roller coasters, rock and roll, etc…

just cotton? he says as he is wearing a cotton shirt 🙄

I'm from Ohio. The Wright brother's invented the airplane. John Glenn was the first American to orbit the earth. John Glenn was from Ohio. Niel Armstrong was the first man to step on the moon. He was from Ohio too. It shows that people will do almost anything to get out of Ohio. 😅

Cotton was harvested mainly with slave labor. The cotton gin (engine) quickly and easily separates cotton fibers from their seeds, enabling much greater productivity than manual cotton separation. I'm in VA and Chapstick is always in my purse or on my desk. I'm actually about 45 min away from Lynchburg where it was invented. Other inventions: The first successful Electric Streetcar was invented in Richmond in 1888; The first public theater in the U.S. was built in Williamsburg in 1716; The first commercial crop of peanuts was grown in the mid 1800s; The first free public school started in Hampton in 1634; The first Mechanical Reaper for grain was invented in 1831.The microphone as we know it--James West created foil-electret transducers for sound recording and voice communication which accounts for the technology used in 90% of all microphones and most new phones used today.

Washington state. A guy from yakima, WA invented the bread bag closer out of his old credit card on an airplane. It is a square piece of plastic that holds the bag closed and keeps the air out of your food. The square with a hole in one side holds the loose bag tight.

Kermit the Frog was invented in Mississippi. And Elvis was born here too.

Havent watched this yet and i am from oklahoma where our most popular inventions are: the parking meter, the shopping cart, and NEXRAD. NEXRAD is the most important because as the saying goes here, "if you dont like the weather here, wait five minutes. It'll change.".

Taking the sap from Maple trees to make syrup was invented by Native Americans and taught to the Colonists. Due to Vermont's long winters and short growing seasons, making syrup, usually in mid-March before they could plant their crops, was a boon to the local farmers who took to it with zeal. The Evaporator was invented here. It takes forty gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup, a long, arduous job turned into one that was so much easier and allowed mass production.

Huh, a dentist invented cotton candy [agree with L3WG = he was trying to drum up more business]!! Have also heard, possibly anecdotal, that a dentist invented 'Corn Nuts'!! Another tooth killer...Pardon, after a little more research discovered the 'Corn Nuts' inventor was an entrepreneur from the Bay Area [San Francisco]. So, am correcting myself!@# No matter - ENJOY!!

@ 14:09 - Those are not Roller Blades in the video. They're Roller Skates. Roller Skates have 4 wheels, 2 in the front and 2 in the back. Roller Blades have it's 4 wheels in a line in the middle. They're also called in-line skates and they resemble Ice Skates which have the single metal blade.

They used pages out of catalogs or magazines for toilet paper before the invention of modern day toilet rolls. I went to England back in 1973 and I was shocked to see little wax paper sheets in the loo, so happy to get back home for what I'm used to!

I’m originally from Indiana (I just moved to Arizona one month ago). Well, Indiana is also responsible for crest toothpaste, fuel pump (which then allowed for gas power vehicles), stainless steel, Prozac, the Gatling gun, wonder bread, converse chuck taylor shoes…the list goes on…washing machine is still my favorite. Feeling homesick! Indiana is a great state and the people are so creative and friendly. One month in Arizona, and I like it, but the people are not nearly as fun or outgoing

ok, so I am going to argue two things. First, the airplane was indeed invented in OHIO, it was first flown in North Carolina...big difference. Second thing, the coolest invention from Ohio was NOT the traffic light, but was the NASA Crawler invented from my hone town.

The obvious answer for California should have been the “high five”. It was invented at Dodger Stadium in 1977 by players Dusty Baker and Glenn Burke. Also, skateboarding.

Oregon- Nike wayyyyyyy cooler *also TATER TOTS & marionberries & 'boring' ole plywood & phillips head screws

My favorite from THIS list is the air conditioning system. I'm grateful for it every August! BUT, my favorite invention NOT on this list has to be indoor plumbing. The ability to easily flush away stuff you don't want to keep in your house is something that is taken for granted way too much. And there's nothing like a cool shower on a hot day or a warm bath on a cold day.

The atomic bomb, for all who were killed by the bombs, were decisive in ending a horrific war, which would have killed many more than the bomb did. Sometimes history is just gruesome.

I’m from Maine - we also invented ear muffs! Massachusetts is also where basketball was invented. I’m thinking that is better than Facebook.

I'm from Georgia, Lew, and I knew you would appreciate that Coca-Cola was invented here.

In my state, Iowa, at Iowa State University they invented the first automatic electronic digital computer called the Atanasoff-Berry computer which was conceived in 1937 and released in 1942. Conventionally, the Atanasoff-Berry computer would be considered the first electronic ALU (arithmetic logic unit) - which is integrated into every modern processor's design. - Wiki

Magazine pages for toilet paper. My MIL lived on a farm with outhouse. Magazine page would be wadded up and rubbed between hands until it softened. Lol

In addition to the parking meter, Oklahoma also gets to claim the shopping cart as a local invention, created by Sylvan Goldman in 1936!

Maraschino Cherry's invented at OSU in Oregon! Way cooler than Wikipedia. There is still a factory here in Salem that makes them.

The cotton gin (meaning engine) allowed the large scale growing of cotton fiber, causing the need for cheap labor to pick it, which caused the Southern States to rely on Slaves, which caused the American Civil War, which caused Britain to side with the Confederacy as their production of clothes and cloth relied on Southern Cotton, which caused hard feelings between America and Britain for several years.

I’ve heard the toothbrush was invented in Kentucky, which makes sense. If it had been invented anywhere else, we’d know it as a “teeth” brush 🤷🏻‍♂️

And people really be talking about how America hasn’t given the world anything. Mf we are the world - no cap.

We were at war with Japan, the bomb ended that war. Unlike the war in Europe which by the way England would have lost if not for the US. So be glad that the English aren't speaking german, you can thank us later.

Before toilet paper they would use anything really, Corn Husks was very popular for a while, but it would ruin the plumbing if it was thrown into the toilet. It's funny because the way they introduced toilet paper to the market was by having it available in hotels, the people would use it for their tushes and want to have it for themselves afterwards and so it became available in stores. It's because talking about bathroom habits was heavily frowned upon, and no one would willingly say they needed it.

Ok so why in the world did they go with wiki for Oregon when the Nike waffle trainer was invented there? For those who don’t know before Nike came around sport shoes never had cleats. Some like for track had metal likes but not cleats. The “waffle trainer” was called that because they poured rubber into the back sides of a waffle maker and they got rubber bumps they put on the bottom of a shoe. Or at least that’s how the story goes. The shoe proved to have better traction in grass and dirt. Eventually it evolved into what we have today.

I grew up in Florida, and air conditioning is absolutely essential to this state, now the third most populous state. At the beginning of the 20th century, Florida was the least populous state in the south, and one of the least populous in the entire country. In the 1900 election, Florida had only four electoral votes, far below powerhouses like Maine (6) and Kansas (10). Without A/C, Florida would continued to be relatively empty, because it is oppressively hot and humid during the summer. For most Europeans, A/C is dismissed as an ostentatious luxury, but no European country has a climate like Florida.

7:39 And this ultimately led to the creation of Brawndo - the thirst mutilator (It's also got what plants crave!). The rest is history.

Before toilet paper, people used handfuls of gravel, live Chinchillas, rose bush stems, and tightly woven "cloth" made from Poison Ivy, cross-stitched with fibers from the Angel's Trumpet plant. I would say that toilet paper may be the best invention on this list.

You cant tell me the atomic bomb wasnt cool. Did it kill a ton of people? Yes. Did it end a war? Yes. Was it not cool to see the mushroom cloud?? According to the military men that watched it and the videos we now see, absolutely. Cmon you know it was cool to see.

I’m from Pennsylvania, but I was disappointed that peanut butter wasn’t mentioned for Georgia. George Washington Carver was an black inventor who came up with all kinds of products you could make with peanuts to give more opportunities to share croppers. His most famous invention was peanut butter.

Dude you totally need to visit Atlanta Georgia and the World of Coke. It’s a really cool museum and you can can that test all kinds of flavors or coke from around the world.

I live in North Carolina, and a few years ago our state was actually sued by Ohio for having "first in flight" on our license plates(incase you didn't know, each state has a different design for their license plates). The reason we had that on our license plates was due to the fact that the Wright Brother's tested and flew the first plane here, but they were originally from Ohio. But here's the thing, we've had "first in flight" on our plates since 1982. So Ohio randomly ,after 3 decades of us having those words on our plates, decided that they didn't like that anymore and sued us for the "right" to have those words on a license plate. Ever since then I've thought of the Ohio Government as petty.

Incorrect info on University of Florida Gators Florida has the Seminoles hurricanes, and Gators the Gators are from Gainesville

I'm from Minnesota, and I remember when rollerblades were a new thing. They were to help hockey players keep up their skating skills during the off season.

I was raised in Oklahoma and the shopping cart was invented there. I think the shopping cart is a much more useful invention than the parking meter. That is, unless you get the one with the wonky wheel! LOL

Hi, I don't comment on posts much but I think Colorado deserves better lmao, I've lived here for 18 years and it's funny that the "coolest" invention is a cheeseburger. We've got the Jolly Rancher, Tampons, Root Beer Floats, OtterBox phone cases, Chipotle, Christmas Lights, Crocs, The Wheel Clamp, and more- personally idk how the Cheeseburger made it above Jolly Ranchers😂 Been a viewer of yours for a while and I just wanted to add that I'm a big fan!

Why do you overtalk the video something? The atomic bomb ended a vicious world war.

Minnesota also invented the toaster as well as two great outdoor sports water skiing and the snowmobile.

From Idaho Dynamite 🧨 for fish but not legal unless you are Indigenous 😂

I Live in Nebraska and we have a nice list of inventions from our state. 1. The Reuben sandwich. 2. Vice grips. 3. butter brickle ice cream. 4. Frozen TV dinners. 5, Cliffs Notes. 6. The McRib sandwich. There are also some food items such as Dorathy Lynch salad dressing and a BIG ONE, Kool Aid. Love watching your reactions.

Sorry, missed it on Iowa.. the whole loaf bread slicer was invented here. Everything else is the greatest thing since.

Texas, we invented Dr. Pepper, the frozen margarita, the Hamburger, 3D printing, breast implants, nachos, Dell computers, the integrated circuit, Fritos, liquid paper, and a bunch of other things that I forgot. We didnt even make it on his list.

I live in Ohio, and the key ignition starter motor was invented in mt. Orab ohio. you know, that thing that makes cars start up without a manual crank..

From Oklahoma here - surprised he didn't mention the electric guitar, shopping carts and the pressurized flight suits for our best inventions. Who cares about the parking meter? LOL

The toothbrush was invented in West Virginia. Had it been invented anywhere else, it would be called the teeth brush.

Dr. Pepper is superior to Coca Cola (only when Coca-Cola used real Coca leaves for the recipe was it better)

San Francisco California invented the fortune cookie. They never heard of it in China.

People used all sorts of things before toilet paper, most notably newspapers.

They used actual paper from a Sears catalog, instead of toilet paper!

There's an old saying," you can only fish so long, then it's time to break out the dynamite"
