British Couple Reacts to 25 COMMON America MYTHS You Won’t Believe Are Actually True 

"I don't do cocaine, I just like the way it smells." -Rodney Dangerfield

Coca Cola stopped using cocaine in their formula in 1903, so yes Millie, it was before your time!😂

That's why it's called the Pentagon because it's in the shape of a pentagon😂😂😂

Pluto was the Romanized version of Hades

fun fact the Pentagon was the largest office building in the world for decades. you might want to react to some videos on the Pentagon's construction and history it's pretty cool

Ya know, those ancient gods were gods of religions. People believed in them just as firmly as people believe in the current gods.

I worked at a teaching hospital in the ICU. We hated July. The experienced residents would come through with interns. They told them not to worry, that if they had any questions just to ask the nurse, cause we wouldn't let them kill anyone. They were right, except the cocky ones tended not to ask. Them you had to keep an eye on.

Greek god Pluto is named after a God of the underworld. Fun fact, Pluto the dog was named before the planet

Celery - negative value food unless you put cheese on it or dip it into some flavored dip.

Ah! Phones! Years ago, the guys on Myth Buster's had a segment in a hospital. They swabbed a huge variety of surfaces, and grew cultures. It turned out that the doctors' phones were dirtier than toilet seats.

If it’s true…, It’s not a myth.

The military used the concept of a zombie attack for planning and training. It didn't have the political issues of using a random country. Plus, it would be more likely to keep the trainees' attention.

I'm a triplet, and my mother was 15 weeks early. They were going to take one of us out, and leave the other two in until 15 weeks later. So we would have been close to 4 months apart, born two separate years.

Yes the Pentagon is indeed a pentagon. lol. Also the White House is white. :P

Yes, Pluto was Mickey Mouse's dog but Pluto is also the god of agriculture.

The planets were named after Greek and Roman gods, which were religious to the Greeks and Romans...Mercury was the god of travelers and thieves, Venus was the goddess of love, Mars was the god of war, Jupiter was the king of the gods, aka Zeus, Saturn was the god of agriculture, Uranus was the god of the sky, Neptune was the god of the sea, Pluto was the god of the underworld, aka Hades to the Greeks. Technically, Earth was known as Gaia, the mother of Zeus and the daughter of Uranus. The Greeks and Romans knew there was something in the sky and assumed they were the god watching down on us and assigned the different colored dots in the sky their names, not knowing they were planets in orbit around the sun. Also the Sun was called Apollo, the god of light and the moon was called Selene, the goddess of the moon. Most ancient cultures had pantheons of gods representing different aspects of life, like Thor was the god of thunder and lightning and Loki the god of mischief, which the American Indians god of mischief was Coyote and they had pantheons, too.

The Greek and Roman gods were part of different religions. Just an FYI.

I did know that Albert Einstein played the violin.

Pluto is Mickey Mouse’s pet dog ❤

5:42 - And I thought one of my college classmates (descended from French aristocracy) had a long name. His initials are JJMRDdSCdBdSC.

And without saying how much cocaine that is, it means nothing. Because that cocaine is next to nothing.

Don't like peanut butter on celery, but I do love pimento cheese on celery.

I would add that since its a teaching hospital expect student way early doing pre-rounds to have answers for teacher later (and maybe 3 or 4 interns) and long long visit as every question asked. Heaven help you if you have something rare. Coke is made with coca leaves (cocaine free extract now used)

There was some evidence of the doctor finding a lose of weight of the body at the time of death. That was the first time & he was never able to replicate it.

Luckily at teaching hospitals they are more focused and aware of the latest medical science versus long term practicing doctors who may find it more difficult to keep up with the latest information or science. And the door to Club 33 is not secret. It's right on the street in the New Orleans area right next to Pirates of the Caribbean, at least at Disneyland. The number 33 is prominently displayed. Also next door is the Blue Bayou restaurant. It's not hard at all to uncover the button and press. The hard part is having the reservation to get any further. While discussing Van Buren he perpetuates another common false truth. George Washington was not the first president. John Hanson was the first president. It's forgotten that the US had a structure prior to the Constitution. It was the Articles of Confederation. John Hanson was the first president under that document which was the guide to federal government for the first 10 years of the United States.

3:00 Well, I suppose that's *one* way to acc-celery-ate your weight-loss! 🤔

Pluto is the Greek god of death.

The pentagon was made because there are (was) 5 branches in the US military. Army, Air force, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard. Recently the Space Force was also added. Now I want them to make it a hexagon.

13:29 it is also referred to a the 5 sided squirrel cage

Pluto is the Roman equivalent to the Greek God Hades. Both are the God of the Underworld (Hell).

My daughter is also a physicist, but started as a music major. She plays viola, cello and violin.

One interesting story about twins was the one about the twins born in different years. One was born shortly before midnight on Dec 31 and the other shortly after midnight on Jan 1. I imagine this has happened more than once

I've always heard stories of people waking up in a bathtub full of ice and a cut in their lower back, only to learn that a kidney is missing.

😊love y'all's vids happy to see y'all postin today Sendin y'all some Oklahoma ❤to y'all's fam and all😊

All Presidents were born in the colonies or United States when the country was formed. Some have taken his comments to mean the early Presidents were born in England.

That hospital fact is true. I am a nurse and we hated July thru about Oct while we beat those residents into shape...

Pluto was the Roman God of Death...

You can also drink water out of the tank of your toilet. Only clean water goes in and out of it.

I've always heard you should not drink water from the water heater but I guess in an emergency it's better than the toilet.

I sympathize with you about the teething. I remember when my kids and then my grandkids were teething.

There's a funny line from the TV show, M*A*S*H: "The Pentagon - weird looking building - four walls and a spare."

The water in the microwave is pure water with low dissolved minerals. Add nucleation points in a smooth container to prevent it from occurring.

Is that why we refer to celery as stomach brooms?

Club 33 opened in 1967, not1963. New Orleans Square wasn't built yet,and Walt who died in1966 never saw it completed.

2:06 *Most Americans use a microwave instead of a kettle. A Pyrex measuring cup. 4 minutes.* 6:28 *Imagine you are a scuba diver with two air tanks. One empty. One full. Which is heavier? The one with more air in it.*

Water can flash to steam on the stovetop, too.

Yes, you were correct. The world trade center was 2 buildings. WTC Building 1 & 2. There were 7 WTC in the vicinity, 2 were direct hits, others were damaged or destroyed by residual damage. The 3rd building was the Pentagon at one of there walls. The Pentagon is massive & one of the largest in Washington DC. The size will be outdone by the newly planned FBI building. You should one day visit or look up the Apple building. It's a 64 acre (1.2million square feet) ring building.

Pluto is the Roman name for Hades, god of the underworld. #7: Haven't you seen the trope of getting drugged in Mexico, then waking up in a bathtub full of ice missing a kidney? They illegally harvested your kidney.

I saw a story by a girl who has an older twin sister. She said her sister liked to say "What I was your age" and then tell me what she did 20 minutes ago. Also, if you read about the formula for the early Coca Cola they used an extract from the leaves of the Coca plant as a flavor extract. They were NOT putting cocaine into the Coca Cola.

Just because background processes burn more than the food doesn't mean it's negative calories. You're still adding calories to the system. If you eat celery during a fast day your reserves will end up with more than not eating at all.

Yes the pentagon. 4 walls and a spare. A monument to Murthy’s Law.

#8 is incorrect: the first US president born a US citizen was John Tyler. Tyler was born in 1790; the first one born after the adoption and ratification of the US Constitution (1789), which established the US as a sovereign nation. Tyler's nine predecessors in office (Washington thru WH Harrison) were born on what is now US soil, but, because they were British colonies at the time, they were British subjects at birth (though they were all given posthumous retroactive US citizenship by an Act of Congress in 1976)

Millie's comment on smelling money was hilarious and had perfect comedic timing. Yes, he's right on that. Mercury, herald and messenger to Roman gods, Venus Roman goddess of beauty and love, Mars Roman god of war, Jupiter king of Roman gods, Saturn, Roman god of agriculture, Uranus, Greek god of Sky, Neptune Roman god of the Sea. Pluto Roman god of underworld, (not really a planet though). Earth would have to be Gaia or Terra, and the moon would be Luna or Selene if we were consistent. The sun would be Sol or Helios.

Don't give the Department of Defense any ideas. They'll get out of hand and build a dodecahedron two miles wide and tall enough to affect air traffic.

Walt Disney named Pluto, Mickey's dog after the newly discovered (then) planet. Pluto is the Roman version of the Greek God, Hades, God of the underworld.

There's a great RU-vid channel with a guy who has 2 pet otters called Kotsumet (otter in Japanese) .

I have a couple of comments. 1. One time after going ocean fishing, I cut up some raw fish into tiny cubes for treats for my cats. I put them in small freezer bags so I could get just a few at a time for them. So I labeled each bag, "CATS", so we knew they were for the cats. Any guests going into my freezer may have wondered if we were eating cats!😂 2. In Connecticut we had twins born in different years. One was born just before midnight on 12/31/2023 and the other was born just after midnight on 01/01/2024, just a few minutes from each other.

I had a snake in my toilet near Houston Texas-- had a neighbor boy pull it out!

Boy, it sure is hot out. It must be 47 chirps! 🥸

How is boiling water in s microwave an American myth

Esteban Julio Ricardo Montoya de la Rosa Ramirez, makes so much more sense to me now😂

Trafficked with Mariana Van Zeller ... there's an episode in this series about black market organs. It's worth binge watching all of them.

There is nothing common about these myths. I don’t think most Americans have heard any of this.

9:49 Pluto "isn't" a planet anymore and those ancient Roman and Greek gods and goddesses WERE religious figures to those people back then.

Zombie apocalypse is a common training exercise these days so of course there are plans. Apparently it is more motivating for the trainees than realistic scenarios.

I can confirm Club 33. Had lunch there many times. Very nice place as you would expect.

George Dantzig was working on his PhD in statistics when this happened. I've always wondered if one of the reasons the two problems remained unsolved was they were being taught as "unsolvable". To him, they were just homework that was harder than usual. During his career, he developed the algorithm for Linear Programming.

Hi

A little confused. Why is the Picasso's name one of the American myths?🤔

Here is a good video about the pentagon. It is a really interesting building. I was stationed there in the late seventies for a couple of years.

Peter North said his legendary loads were due to consuming large quantities of celery the night before😂❤😂

How long are you leaving water in the microwave for it to explode? Like water can be cooked in the microwave for at least a good 2 minutes for stuff like instant ramen. So idk where that even came from.

It's very easy to super heat water in the microwave and hardly rare. It won't explode like a warhead. It'll sometimes tend to splatter violently. It's very easy to do this, just nuke water then sprinkle salt into it.

Pluto was the Greek god of the underworld.

No thsts not how the exploding water in a microwave works, it has to be distilled water and if any contaminate goes in the Super heated distilled water like dirt or just dust it will cause a reaxtion to make the Super heated eat boil and "explode" tap water won't do it

Pluto is no longer considered a planet

Coca cola original recipe: just stir the new stuff with a dollar bill.

If it hasn't been proved, then it's not a theorem! There are sometimes statements that are called theorems (such as Fermat's Last Theorem) for various reasons, but for well over a century the discipline has been reasonably rigorous rule of "theorem = proved".

There used to be a lot of organ harvesting in Las Vegas.

five sides. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard. One for each branch of the military.

How many people think the channel should be renamed, "Wait, What?!?!?" 😂😂😂

I always thought the Pentagon was built as it was because of the 5 branches of our military (now 6 btw). They were army, navy, airforce, marines, and coast guard (now spaceforce too). But I was wrong. The US airforce was created in 1947 and the building was built in 1943. The piece of land they had to work with was bordered by 5 highways. So they built it to fit the land. It has 6 zip codes and it one of the most secure building in the US.

...and the pyramids are actual pyramids! 😂

I don't think I've ever seen a picture of the Pentagon that wasn't from above.

Pluto is a Roman/ Greek god of the underworld.

Although different scenarios exist, most twins that have different birthdates are just the next day.

Rats can come up toilets too. Don't ask me how I know.

The otter thing is cute but the reason they do it is they are related to honey badger and they are op,their intelligence rivals children thry hold hands cause the river flow will carry them off if asleep holding hands means if that happens 2 can find there way back

Albert Einstein wanted to be an musician and Ron Jeremy wanted to become an actor 😂❤😂

#18: "Pablo Picasso's full name had 23 words." Pfft -- that's nothin'. French composer and conductor Louis-Antoine Jullien was baptized as follows: Louis George Maurice Adolphe Roche Albert Abel Antonio Alexandre Noe Jean Lucien Daniel Eugene Joseph-le-brun Joseph-Bareme Thomas Thomas Thomas-Thomas Pierre Arbon Pierre-Maurel Barthelemi Artus Alphonse Bertrand Dieudonne Emmanuel Josue Vincent Luc MIchel Jules-de-la-plane Jules-Bazin Julio Cesar Jullien

The joke is a new batch of 007's come in July.

7:28 Yes, Coca-Cola used to contain cocaine and 7Up used to contain lithium.

Pluto is the Roman name for the god the Greeks called Hades. Pluto, the planet, has been downgraded to a Dwarf Planet. That means that it doesn't have the mass (gravity) to clear it's neighborhood of debris. Our planet's actual name is Terra.

As A Nurse July is horrible time in the hospital because of the new interns lol Lots of catching mistakes to keep our patients safe!

Coke started out as a medicinal product. I have little cousins that are twins but one was born the day before the other so they have separate birthdays.

The celery is true you burn more calories heating it thsn your body takes in, it's the high fiber content

These aren't necessarily America myths, just myths.

Pluto is goofy’s dog and yes the plants are Roman gods not Greek

All the planets are named after "Roman" Gods. They're the same gods as the Greek gods, but with different names. Mars is the god of war ares for example

That cocaine fact is crazy....I imagine fentanyl is on our money now.
