fans that are willing to send value back to us. This week we
had two boosts. One is from Baroness Love and Light 333
sets.
Thank you.
Thank you so much. We tried to get my mum to eat beef Pizzle
soup once cruel children we were I'm not sure what that is. I'll
have to look I'll have to look that up. Thank you so much for
that. And then servo sent 6789 sets. I love the numerology when
it's in order numbers and topic idea dark patterns. Now, I did
go look up dark patterns and I am interested in it. So
basically, a dark pattern is when they try and trick you is
deceptive, deceptive design on like a website or something like
making. I've got a little video it's got a little one and a half
minute clip at the beginning or give or take 30 seconds
whatever. That explains an example of it from amazon.com So
I'm gonna play this clip
dark patterns are features of interface design crafted to
trick users into doing things that they might not want to do,
but which benefit the business in question. Here's an example.
Have you ever tried to delete your Amazon account? Here's the
Amazon homepage, what's the first thing you might think to
do? The obvious place to look is the account drop down here. Once
you're in here, you look around, it's a lot of information. But
if I'm interested in deleting my account, I think that your
account is probably a good place to go. Once I'm on this page,
there's a lot more information payment options, login and
security and a bunch of stuff down here. Unfortunately, you
could click every link on your account page, but none would
deliver you to a place where you could actually delete it.
Because it's not here. In order to actually delete your Amazon
account, you have to go all the way down to the bottom of the
page and under let us help you click Help. Once you're in here,
you have to navigate to need more help, because you know,
putting it on this page would just be too easy. Then click
contact us this is where it starts to get ridiculous. It's
still nowhere to be seen. But of the four options on the top that
you want help with click prime or something else you want this
something else in this tell us more about your issue dropped
down, there's still nothing that suggests account deletion, you
just have to know to click Login and security. And then in a
second drop down, there it is the magic button, close my
account. Except in order to actually do that you don't have
to have a chat conversation with an Amazon associate who's going
to tell you all the reasons account deletion is a bad idea.
See, you can't delete the account yourself, they have to
do it for you. This is a dark pattern, a crappy user
experience that intentionally makes it difficult, almost
impossible without help to do something that hurts Amazon UX
specialist, Harry Brignole category.
So that's what a dark, it's an example of a dark pattern. Okay.
Now, I'm going to be going down this rabbit hole I've been I've
been in that situation there was I can't remember what company it
was we were doing. But it was like maybe an Internet service
provider or something along those lines. And you could sign
up for the service online. But in order to cancel your service,
you had to call somebody. And they had like limited hours that
you could call them and then it was like an hour wait. And that
had to be about design, you know? Yeah. So yeah, they'll
just give up and keep keep being a customer. And I did for a
couple months. And then finally I was just like, You know what,
I'm gonna kind of put in the work put in the hours. Or take
back what's ours. Right? My not having an account with whoever
this is. So thank you for the 679 Satoshi boosts. And yeah, so
that's it for the for section for the show. What do you have
for good news?
Hello, and welcome to Fun Fact Friday news. With your lead
anchor Leila.
Hello. I have something that's kind of cool news. Okay. So
there's a structure that someone built. I probably can find them
somewhere in this thing. artwork that can exist only in our outer
space came to life about the internal space station after it
was delivered by the first ever private mission to arrive there.
The International Space Station. Yeah, you said internal.
It looks like internal International Space Station.
Yeah, you know what I mean? A doctor of physics worked with an
artist to devise the work impossible object. But they
would only see the results. Until the A x one mission
reached the state space hub. The sculpture was created by liquid
water traveling upon a tapestry of brass rods and tubes, but
only one only when there is an absence of gravity. It looks
pretty cool. And it only works once in space. Well yeah, this
little gold ladder with like, the steps crooked. And then some
water droplets are on it. But they're like sideways, sideways
water drop,
there'll be a link in the show notes that has a picture I'm
making liquid go up is always a fun, fun thing. At the auto
parts store. There's this little device, and it has gears inside
of it. And there's two different types of oil, there's like two
of the same thing. And you spin the little crank and the oil.
That's the cheap, thin oil doesn't travel up the gears very
well. But the good you know high viscosity oil. When you turn the
crank the oil goes up and I always like playing with it when
I go to the auto parts
of demonstration. I'm always the one to demonstrate
as well. cuz like those, those places like, I think it's called
the Imagination Station where you can go and like play with
all the different different science project type stuff.
So like the marbles Museum.
Yeah, the marbles Museum and rollies really fun. So but
that's cool space. He's a work of art installation that only
works in space. Yeah, that's pretty cool. So I found a story.
Did you find friends wanting to normalize being kind surprised
Alabama waitress with a massive tip. Tanya Ragsdale and 11 of
her friends walked into the Waffle House and Coleman,
Alabama on November 19. Knowing that they were about to make
someone's day, each person came to the restaurant with a $100
bill, which they plan to use to pay for their food. With the
change going towards the tip. They were seated in waitress,
Julia Ellison section, and she was stunned when the group left
a $1,125.25 cent tip on a 7475. Bill. Wow. Last year Ragsdale
and some of her friends did something similar at Cracker
Barrel, leaving behind a $575.01 tip. I plan to make this an
annual event, Ragsdale told Fox News, digital, my hope is for it
to reach other friend groups and do the same and normalize being
kind. It's good, it's good every once in a while, just you know,
you got a little extra little extra something laying around.
And yeah, we do. Yeah, we do that every once in a while. And
it does, it makes you feel good. And I like to, like if we leave
a huge tip for a waiter or waitress, we like get out of
there real quick, so they don't have time to come to us and be
like, Are you sure or anything like that? Yeah, but every once
in a while, it's good to be a blessing on somebody else, you
know? Yeah. All right. So what did you learn while researching
Soda? Soda? We call it soda around these parts. They call it
pop up north.
They call it soda pop at some places. Yeah.
And remember, what's what's your favorite soda? I think I already
know but let's hear what you say.
Dr. Pepper. I know you hate it.
I had a bad bad experience with Dr. Pepper. Leila, a very bad
experience.
I've always loved Dr. Pepper.
I used to love it too. Actually, I was about your age. I would
drink Dr. Pepper all the time. And then one night I drank too
much Dr. Pepper and got sick. Oh, like a two liter. So the
sick tasted a whole lot like Dr. Pepper. So now I just can't. I'm
traumatized for life by that one experience. Even smelling it
just doesn't sit well with me. I like Diet Pepsi.
I know.
I drink way too much of it. Yeah, it's got aspartame in it,
and it's not good for you. And a lot of the facts that I have
tonight are like scary facts. So they're less less fun.
But they're not like scary fact Saturday. They're not
morbid or anything. It's just you know, sodas, not not the
best thing to drink. But every once in awhile is a special
treat. You know, but I drink it. Just it's it's easy. You know,
I'm at work and there's a soda machine. There's no like I guess
there is a water
I've seen it.
I don't know. I guess I'm just addicted to it. Soda is really
addictive. sugary soda isn't is as addictive as hard drugs.
That's what love it.com says. Sorry, drink love. it.com says
yes, you read that right soda is as addictive as hard drugs. I
don't know how they get to that according to a study by Harvard,
oh, Harvard Media School and Harvard Business School.
Because you know, everything that Harvard says is true. Yeah,
right.
The same neural. I love so much that you you have that attitude.
The same neuro bar biological Pat. Wow. The same neural
biological pathways that are involved in drug abuse are also
involved in drink, food and drink consumption. This means
that your brain starts searching for it more and more almost in
an uncontrollable fashion. If you have a predisposition toward
addiction This can result in food addiction. Yes. Yes, that's
me.
You're I'm addicted to what? That vegetable soup.
Oh my gosh. Leila will not shut up about the schools
messed up How am
you know some people have pictures of their family and
their phones. To double soup pictures of vegetable soup. Oh
my god, they had two days in a row, right?
They had it on Tuesday and then they didn't have it on. Okay, so
Tuesday and Thursday, like they teased me. Like, they're like,
you weren't talking about public school vegetable soup.
Vegetable soup. Everyone else hates it and I get everyone else
to get it so I can eat it. More do they eat? Not vegetable soup?
They have it as a side. Oh, yeah. So it's not the main dish,
but I only get Oh, okay. So they're like trade my food for
your vegetables.
They're sitting there eating grilled cheese or something?
Yeah, like grilled cheese from cheeses not cheeses. That's from
that's from the regular show. That was
but yeah. I do I do. I get hooked on something for a little
while. Like at Rice Krispie treats. We make some rice
krispie treats sometimes and I just can't stop. I have to like
have have the wife hide them from like dole them out slowly.
Soda does not say to eat you said she said she ate. However
you say that. When you're hungry or thirsty, a cool beverage can
go a long way towards leaving you full. But that doesn't
happen with soda, as it does with sugar free drinks for
water. soda contains a large amount of added sugar in the
form of fructose which does nothing to reduce feelings of
hunger. activated by a via the hormone ghrelin gorilla gorilla.
G H. R e li N That's a some interesting name. Drink drinking
soda ain't gonna make you full. And not at all. What did you
find out about soda? Did you get distracted by something
very fancy ation? Yes. Oh, have you turned me up?
Say to you. Your turn up. You're not talking into your mic.
No, my thing. My Computer. Oh,
it's not. Is it connected?
Yeah, it's connected.
It's turned off that great. It's not coming through. Nothing's
coming through. I got I've got your slider all the way up on
your Bluetooth.
Okay. Let me try YouTube. This
isn't too loud.
isn't happening playing?
It's not playing? I don't know what's going on.
Maybe it will come out in the recording and everyone's just
hearing satiate CTA CTA
or like an ad for tide or something.
All right. Well, other than that surprising set of facts. In
2001, Americans spent over 60 billion of dollars on carbonated
soft drinks. I hate
60 billion with the b Where are you getting that fact?
From the Alberni county.com with Daniel P. McCoy, Daniel P.
McCoy, the county executive and county executive of Alberni, New
York,
we need to make a fanclub.
We're making a Daniel P. McCoy fan club this
guy this guy has a has a cheesy headshot.
If you're listening, we love you. You're the best.
You're the best. Read read us some more facts from Daniel P.
McCoy.
During the same year, the average American consumed
approximately 53 gallons of soft drinks. i Wow. I hate the term
soft drinks.
Cuz it's weird. Because they're the drinks that like they almost
if they're stupid. Yeah, they're hurt a little bit.
Yeah. They're spiky drinks, but I guess I would kind of be like
spiked drinks. And hard drinks would also be spike drinks. But
what soft drinks who named him that? They're not like, Well,
maybe
you could look that up. Well, they are.
Well, yeah, you look it up.
Okay. You keep talking.
Sales of carbonated soft drinks have grown by two to 3%
annually. Sounds pretty good. The US market includes nearly
450 soft drinks. That's a lot of soft drinks. But what about Dr.
Pepper? No. Dr. perky.
What? Oh, yeah. Off brands of Dr. Pepper. Well, who
doesn't have Dr. Pepper? I had to get Dr. perky at a restaurant
one time and it was like a fancy restaurant.
Oh, I see. How did it today I found out why flavored
carbonated carbonated beverages or vivre. I'm a professional
podcaster why flavored carbonated beverages are called
soft drinks. It turns out soft drinks aren't just flavored
carbonated beverages. Soft drink refers to nearly all beverages
that are not, that do not contain significant amounts of
alcohol. That's what I thought. The term soft drink, though is
now typically used exclusively for flavored carbonated
beverages.
If you don't want to use soda or Coke,
right, I just started that yet. Let me get a diet flavored
carbonated beverage please. Flavored carbonated beverage
makers. Were having a hard time creating national advertisements
due to the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. For instance, in
parts the United States and Canada flavored carbonated
beverages are referred to as pop and others soda. And yet other
parts refer other parts coke. So when I was when I used to live
in Texas, everything was coke. Like you'd go to a restaurant
and you'd sit down, they'd be like, What do you want to drink?
And you say Coke, and they'd be like, what time and you'd be
like seven? Yeah, that's so yeah, no. Because it doesn't
make sense around here. Okay, here's a map. Yep. generic names
for soft drinks by county. Okay.
Oh, well, mines, states.
This is even more granular.
Okay. So give me a state.
Nevada, Nevada. Where's Nevada? Right next to Cal
Las Vegas. So entire stays Las Vegas to me. Right? Soda. They
call it soda. Give me Give me another one. Texas. Coke, Coke.
Yep. I already know most of these Minnesota,
Minnesota,
Minnesota. Soda Pop. In Minnesota. They call it it's
hilarious. I know Michigan is pop. What's this? This yellow is
soda. So that's more out out west.
My name is nine. Huh? My name is?
Oh yeah, the colors are different on different maps.
Over in California, they call it soda up in the northeast, like
in New England. It's called soda codes. New England. Coke is more
in the south and pop is more in the north. New England isn't a
thing. New England is a thing. It's all the states up in that.
That Jedi Audi of America? Like the the raised fist like yeah,
America
defin. Is it a there's not a fan? America is a fish. What?
Texas is one of the Fens and then Florida in Maine are two of
the other fins the back fin. Okay. So we've always looked at
it. I can kind of see that. Yeah, never. And then like ever
right in the middle of Washington. Oregon in Idaho, is
the eyeball. Okay, right in the middle.
So like and no, I would think like the the supervolcano in
Yellowstone Park would be the eyeball because once that thing
pops open, the whole round these parts, right, right up in the
north northwest like east of Idaho. Yeah, this area, North
Dakota, South Dakota, that whole area, it's going to explode one
day or so the Discovery Channel tells me so yeah, I guess soft
drinks is not just just flavored carbonated beverages.
One of the four fizzy drinks fizzy.
England, and England. They're called. I'm gonna I'm asking for
fizzy drinks from now on. When we go to like, go to dinner.
We're like, we'll have a diet fizzy drink. Please.
Be like, Hmm,
I guess I could do an English accent what I do. Yeah.
One of every four beverages consumed in America today is a
soft drink.
Yeah, I see that. The average
child drinks over 500 cans of soda a year.
That's between one and a half and two a day. Or is 101 and a
half a day? Oh, no brainer. 65 times two.
What if we just bring them all in one day?
Yeah, just just get it all out of the way on January 1.
Okay, today's the day. I kind of drink 500 cans of soda because
I'm a child. And then just downs like 500 You know?
So Dr. Pepper. Did you know that warm Dr. Pepper was popular in
southern states during the 60s I love warm Dr. Pepper. This warm
syrupy drink only was thought to help with colds and other
ailments. Oh, it was also a popular drink at Christmas
parties. Do you know what the flavor profile of Dr. Pepper is?
Prune prunes.
Yeah, is it a lot of may have
prunes? Maybe it maybe it was a long time ago but I don't think
there's prunes it and
it's getting to the holiday seasons. You know what that
means?
Holiday Season
No.
Robbery preflop. What are you What are you What's happening?
What are you? What are you looking up? She's she's on
YouTube. But the sound doesn't work. No. I'm telling you you
turned off Bluetooth or something.
I think your Bluetooth definitely SMR right now.
She has candy wrappers on her does
a cookie wrapper. I don't want you to cookie.
So drinking one soda a day can age you as many as 4.6
additional years. So soda makes you look older. According to
fact retriever.com
And you know, everything that fat retriever says is real.
Americans consume 1.7 million tons of sugar each each year
from Coca Cola alone. Wow, this is the equivalent of 10.8 pounds
of sugar per person per year. Soda is the largest source of
added sugar and American diets. I believe that
I'm drinking a bottle you right now. A bubbly? That's just water
with some carbon and
carbon little tiny bit of flavor. Yeah, was like a
little drop of natural flavor.
Whatever that means. Anything can
be natural. If you if you if you tell it is.
Do you know how long it takes to burn off the calories from a 20
ounce bottle of soda? Huh? 50 minutes of running? Or five
miles of walking? It's like when you're about to drink a 20 ounce
soda. You'd be like, alright, am I willing to walk five miles to
burn off these calories? And maybe you think twice, you know?
So what? What were you looking at? For the Christmas or the
holiday season?
You want to look it up? What is it? Alright, go to YouTube.
Go to go to YouTube.
You to as the British call it, you know, to YouTube.
Okay, now I'm looking at something on YouTube. Right? Oh,
now. Cranberry, right cranberry?
It's my favorite type of Sprite. I need to go away like dollar
generals tomorrow and get it for the wedding rehearsal. Tomorrow.
Oh, yeah. Everybody's the first gratulations I'm not I'm not
playing an ad on our show. And this weekend, congratulations to
Leila's grandfather and my father in law. Bob is getting
married this weekend. happy marriage. Yep, well,
congratulations to him. And we're gonna go that's going to
be an all day event. And we're gonna have a good time out
there. Watching Bob get married. So,
but it's Lebron James. And he went, and he comes in. And he's
like, well want to spray cranberry? And I'm like, yes.
Because I'm in that, you know, and. And he throws me a spray
cranberry. And I open it. And I doubt it. It's so good.
I didn't know you were in that ad.
You don't know. You didn't know that. I was in a lot of ads. I
can tell you all the
story. Really. We're in an ad though. You were an ad for
Orkin.
I was without knowing. Yeah,
I mean, you made money off of it. But that was a good chunk of
my money. That was a long time ago. Basically what happened is
I shot this, I was playing with a video editor. So I shot three
versions of Leila one playing little plastic drums, one
playing like a plastic flute and one playing a plastic harmonica
anyway, a bunch of annoying instruments that she had in
three different parts of the same room. And I used a tripod,
so it was all steady shot. And then I pieced them all together.
And it was like 20 seconds, 30 seconds long, which is perfect
for commercial. And when I posted it on YouTube, just for
fun. Junk and media signed signed up for was talk to him
and we made a we got the agreement or whatever, where we
would basically get anything that they could sell it for for
an ad or whatever we would get 60% of. And I was like, Sure,
why not? Think you would ever go for anything? And then a couple
years later, we had some people tell us
No, I was scrolling. I was like about to get up from my bed
because it was the morning. And I stopped and looked at my phone
because I heard like suddenly annoying kid playing some
instruments and that kid was me. And I was like, oh, yeah, so we
looked it up. And this was before like the like to dislike
ratio was taken away on YouTube. That
was a long time ago. It
was a long time ago was before like, this year I think so.
Yeah. And we I could talk
yeah, I gotta log into my, my jus connect Jukun Jukun J U K.
And I think, logged into my account that we had got set up
when I first sold the rights to it, or licensed it out or
whatever you want to call it. And there was it was like, you
know, you're getting a check in a couple of weeks. And I was
like, Wow, that's pretty cool. That's pretty cool.
It was a fever dream because I just woken up, you know, right
friend came over me. We're watching YouTube videos on the
trampoline. And she looks at me, and it's like, this kid looks a
lot like you. And I was like, Wait, lazy screenshot that sent
it to me cuz I need proof that I was wasn't dreaming. I'm gonna
write down. I'm gonna try and find the video. I know, it's
still on YouTube. Because it's unlike the Orkin page or
whatever. Yeah, so I'm gonna I'm gonna look that up and put it in
the show notes. And I had a couple of people tell me that.
They saw it also. And they were like, it was super annoying. I
was like, yeah, that is probably why they chose it. Because it's
a bug extermination out annoying stuff, whatever.
They don't know. They don't know that we had so many bugs in our
house at that time.
Oh my gosh, that house where we lived, that area has so many of
the Palmetto bugs, the water bugs, cockroaches, whatever want
to call them as two different things. But anyway, I call them
all roaches. Yeah, and we had a constant battle with these
things. Just because the area we lived was so invested with them
the woods and everything
but funny kid play instruments. Yeah. That's me. Cha
Ching. So what else do you have to say about soda?
Global so that was the wrong one. That was really Yeah, soda
reaches calcium from bones at an alarming what? Wait, what? Soda
leeches calcium from bones and alarming facts since
osteoporosis is reaching epidemic proportions.
Yep. Soda soda saps your body of certain nutrients. Yes. So what
basically what we're saying is soda tastes good. And everybody
a whole a whole whole lot of people drink it. It's not it's
not really good for you. Know, here's the thing, though, is
they used to say it was good for everything. But yeah, they used
to say, let's see if I can find the little the little fact here
we go. Most Popular soda drinks today original originated and
flourished in pharmacies during the late 19th and early early
20th centuries. Early sodas were marketed as carols for stomach
pain, alcoholism, opium addictions nervousness scurvy
and more. So it was like a snake oil salesman knows like a cure
all medicines are here Drink Drink this shorter Bob. Cyan
will carry our scurvy you know whatever product Hey, you know
there weren't false advertising laws back then apparently. So
okay banned in Europe and Japan the toxic flame retardant
bromide vegetable oil BV Oh can still be found in many American
soft drinks such as Dr. Pepper seven up I guess it means et
cetera same thing but wait no, hold on hold on hold on. Okay, I
see where it's saying now it was a little low I didn't know Dr.
Reverend seven AP was an incorporated so it's Dr. Pepper
seven up incorporated products like squirt Sundrop Sunkist
peach and fruit punch flavors. So those are the drinks made by
the Dr. Pepper seven up Incorporated.
Sunkist is not as good as Fanta no also really like to be like
to bust more than Fanta. Like they
they explode probably because of the brominated vegetable oil or
bvo it's a toxic flame retardant chemical
was at a convention right. And it was in the causeway lounge
was just sitting there my friend and I we went to open up my
purple Sunkist and it went everywhere on the convention
table. And I don't know where the bathrooms are, because I
don't go in the McMansions because I have a full cosplay
on. And so I was I ran down one hallway and there was no
bathroom. So I ran down the other like half of the
convention center just to get paper towels. And I was trying
to do this so fast because we had to take a picture soon. So I
had to get paper towels, run back to the room or run back to
the bathroom to get more paper towels. clean that all up, bring
them back to the bathroom so I could throw him away and go back
for pictures. And I was sweating. So I was just trying
to touch up my makeup
a little more about Dr. Pepper. Dr. Pepper is not classified as
a cola, but rather a quote, distinctly flavored drink and a
quote. This allows it to be sold in both Pepsi and Coke soda
fountains and vending machines. The period and Dr. Pepper like
after the Dr. Yeah, it was dropped in the 1950s to avoid
any suggestion of a medical link. Because that's what that's
what makes me think a doctor is involved in something is if
there's a period Dr.
Yeah. So his first name is just Dr. And then his last name was
pepper so yeah, you know
Yeah, I like the dog cat again. I don't have any of them on me
but the Dr. Pepper off brands are always funny like said Dr.
perky.
Let me see.
Mr. Pepper.
Let's see images.
You pull it up all your thunder. Dr. Thunder, that's the one I
was trying to think of.
Grass soda. What do you mean is that? Let's see. Dr. Fager. Dr.
Bob,
there's a Dr. Bob soda. Oh, the named Mr. Frosties Mr. Frosty,
that's root beer. Gosh. Okay, so Dr. Frost they they sell this
root beer here. I don't know if it's a national brand or I don't
know. They sell it here at one store. And that's why we shop at
the store. Yeah. And we clean them out of there, Mr. Frosty
every time and we put them in the fridge downstairs. Root beer
with Splenda in it. Yeah, the diet version has Splenda instead
of aspartame, which we prefer. But it's always just so
carbonated. And so just as in the glass bottles, which is just
always better. So
yeah, they have they have Do they still sell surge?
Surge? Yeah, I think so. I used to drink jolt cola. Jolt cola.
Yeah. has extra caffeine.
Oh, I think it was surge was
because I thought I thought it was a hacker. I thought it was a
hacker back in the day. Yeah. On the movie Hackers. They talked
about Joe Cola or have Joe Cohen. And like everything
having to do with with hackers in the 90s jolt cola was
associated with that. That phenomenon.
There's this scare me for some reason. Pepsi there. Okay. Do
you know how the Pepsi logo became the Pepsi logo?
I know that it costs Pepsi a whole lot of money.
Pepsi logo story?
Yeah. Like give us a sum up and then link to it. Yes, be sure
and leave the tab open so we can put it in the show notes.
There was this whole like thing about physics. And the okay
Pepsi logo document. Let me see. Pepsi arnelle. And pull it over
to the screen. So I have two screens. Oh, that is really
white.
You want everything in dark mode? That's what's happening.
Yeah.
Okay, so how do we have convention to innovation and
it's just this convention with the arrow to innovation and it's
there's a whole bunch of diagrams so I can't really
explain them Yeah, but it's the same document
we will link to it Yeah. as a whole they did a whole lot of
math for this logo. Oh yeah, they got they got the Yin Yang
in there they got the Mona Lisa. Mona Lisa.
Yeah the elements of energy she
got your fire and your all your different sacred geometry to
Vicki. Wow. Interesting stuff. Interesting stuff. Yeah. And
then they had for
the bottle the bottle the shape of their old logos. Wow, that's
interesting to look at that this whole thing about it and then
there's something a link to the PDF
in the show notes to be sure not close that him
there's a whole thing about how more Lisa's face is shaped and
how we need to break the golden ratio, the breathtaking creation
of identity and a blueprint for proportions. This all came to me
when a lemon demon song was made after it. Oh yeah, yeah, here we
go. The emotions why didn't the multiple emotions so the Pepsi
logo if you look at a smiley face, apparently it's it's a
smiley face. Well, I mean, sort of like awkward smiley face.
I just want I saw a picture of somebody just drew ahead on the
Pepsi Pepsi logo and little feet and it looks like a very round
gentleman. And his shirt is red shirts lifting up a little bit
showing his white belly and blue jeans are the bottom heard.
Do you meet a whole Pepsi iron diagram?
3d diet grammar of the Pepsi logo.
Okay, that's crazy. We'll probably get,
we will link the PDF and that that is interesting. I'm gonna
dig through that later. Lots of lots of graphics and math. Well,
folks, I think we're going to be wrapping up for the soda
episode. I hope you enjoyed it. We got we got a lot a lot more
facts in the links in the show notes. These are just some of
the ones that we we found super interesting. Yeah, so did you
have anything else?
Nope, nope.
Are you are you digging deep into that document now? I'm
rereading it do a full expose a on the loop. Pendulo runs I
believe I've seen some on YouTube about the Revzilla

it, which is what you're looking at right now. So but yeah, we
will see you next week. We'll go back and find on the last
episode what we talked about. We were supposed to do next week,
