8 Things That Are Older Than You Think

[@julieforan3559]

CGP Grey has a couple of great videos on the name Tiffany’s history

[@nebulan]

Oh that's why it was familiar, thanks!

[@8antipode9]

I was just going to comment, I guess the people at Mental Floss don't watch CGP Grey

[@PattheBassist]

One video and a mental breakdown*

[@GamerGoingGrey]

I was just thinking about that video earlier this week and how I should watch it again

[@nyrdybyrd1702]

*impersonates Ted the bellhop from Four Rooms (aka Theodore the Thumper😉): Ohhhhh reeaaally?

[@shezario]

Cgp grey made a whole two Videos on the history of tiffany... worth a watch

[@hernanhernandez6567]

Love the Oreo tangent. Lol Although the Oreo cookie is not the original either! It just had the better marketing

[@tenzhitihsien888]

I could go for some Hydrox right now.

[@jamesslick4790]

@@tenzhitihsien888 Hard to find in stores, But Wal*Mart has them online.

[@laurendoe168]

I've had Hydrox, and I'll stick with Oreo.

[@markadams7046]

Hydrox was the original chocolate sandwich cookie brand.

[@markadams7046]

Oreo is a catchier name.

Now go to the TV Tropes page Older Than They Think, and I'll see you in a month!

My favourite: The fax machine existed before the telephone. 1843 vs 1876.

[@jamesslick4790]

Yep!! And the telegraph was DIGITAL and the telephone was analog. Also, rotary telephone dials were digital push button "Touch Tone" dials are analog!

[@DrewHerrema]

The Allusionist's episode "The Tiffany Problem also goes into this.

[@jphilb]

Came expecting the fax machine and got milk washed fish guts instead. Thanks, Erin!

[@nyrdybyrd1702]

IKEA's mjölk magic reusable condom, the apex amenity of Scandinavian archaeology. 😌

[@CritterKeeper01]

I was expecting to hear the usual "Cleopatra was born closer to men walking on the moon than she was to the building of the Great Pyramids!" Thank you for having some new and different stuff!

[@ricky7111]

The name joke for a cymbal maker. I had to pause the video I almost died laughing.

[@btetschner]

A+ video! Fantastic topic and research!

[@fantalemon0013]

Thank you, I always learn something new watching these vids😊

[@DtWolfwood]

Poor Hydrox getting beat by Oreos Further proof it's always best to be second to market

[@jamesslick4790]

I like Oreos by Hydox IS the Superior cookie of the two. I buy them online.

[@scottharnish]

The cymbal company Sabian in New Brunswick Canada is also owned by a branch of the Zildjian family.

[@Siansonea]

This has to be symbolic somehow.

[@johncameron]

As a drummer I’m flattered by the inclusion of the cymbalsmith tradition. I offer just the slightest correction: The most common pronunciation of Zildjian is ‘ZIL-jin’ not ‘ZIL-jee-un’

[@LinguarumFautor]

I wonder if “the snakes and scorpions” was a metaphor for painful burning in the nether regions.

[@Pfisiar22]

Also, the original sandwich cookie was Hydrox. Oreo was the rip-off.

[@lapierredave]

No mention of Hydrox?

[@mordaciousfilms]

Yeah, I hear names like "Tiffany" and "Cynthia" and immediately think "1980s".

[@Tranquitronquista]

Good job, Erin.

[@toveryonder1115]

juicy fruit mystery i sloved..... jack fruit

[@Badpoison1]

Everyone knows you hold oreos under milk like you hold a person's head under water, till the bubbles stop.

[@artkincell]

Totally off topic, but how about a video on the history of condensed milk? What the heck is it, and what's its origin? During the work week, I journey over to my daughter's house to let her elderly dogs out for a mid-day relief. I pass by a historical marker in Torrington Connecticut denoting the "World's first condensed milk factory." So naturally, that got me wondering.... It's food history, so dust off Dodd's milk-themed wardrobe and get us learnin'!

[@pamr.429]

Also, what's the diff, if any, between condensed and evaporated?

[@kaziiqbal7257]

I know a Zildjian family member!

[@The_Other_Ghost]

And can pronounce their last name!

[@romulusnr]

Oreos are older than Oreos -- Hydrox came first.

[@markadams7046]

Oreos were not the original chocolate sandwich cookie, they were a knock-off of the Hydrox cookie.

[@justayoutuber1906]

I had no idea that cymbal brand was so old.

[@eifelitorn]

the sound is wayy too low

[@SmithMrCorona]

Juicy Fruit tastes kinda how bananas used to, before the old clone died out.

[@james_baker]

thanks Tiffany 😸

[@MrKaraokeCowboy]

Greeks may have been the first to use a goat bladder as a condom, but it was the British that first removed it from the goat before using it as such.

[@darksakurattv]

Stuff You Missed in History did a whole episode on Priestly.

[@Linusgump]

Tiffany, I think we’re alone now. There doesn’t seem to be anyone around.

[@Rkenton48]

Hoping for the Internet. Been around since the 60's

[@bigbadhodad3894]

Oreo are kinda older than 1912, as they are the knockoff of the original cookie, the great Hydrox, superior in all ways.

[@rasmusgarbonzo1411]

I know at least a dozen tiffanys and they all happen to be asian. Why is this? Coincidence?

[@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059]

The name Mary is also older than people think. It (and the name Moses) dates back to ancient Egypt, over 1000 years older than Judaism, who baby books claim is the origin. In ancient Egypt it means "beloved", in Hebrew it means "bitter". Wierd eh?

[@travisazzopardi8024]

It still boggles my mind that synchronized swimming became an Olympic sport before Tae Kwon Do. Ugh.

[@sylviastreet]

I have a National Geographic that has 3D glasses of the Moon!

With Sci-show's release today, I wonder if King Mino's wife had a semen allergy. if the semen poisoned or stung her.

[@Abraxium]

Epiphany Tiffany. Tiphany?

[@michaelfried3123]

I was born in 1969. We had no Tiffany at my school. I grew up in rural Ohio, I think it just wasn't a popular name in this area because quite frankly I can only think of one person I've known named Tiffany. I think its more of an East coast or California name if you ask me.

[@klimpster]

Topp Tiff.

[@Apophis324]

Really, those Greeks had some amazing ideas on how to screw up the idea of human anatomy. Snakes and scorpions in semen? HOW would that even.. No. No I don't want to know.. Never mind...

[@kaimanat8553]

Hydrox came before Oreo

[@babbetteduboise4284]

Juicy Fruit flavor is bananaish.

[@alb8758]

I enjoyed the video, but audio mix seemed a bit off on this one, sound effects were deafening compared to your voice.

[@geoffpriestley7310]

My wifes a 72 year old Tiffany but its her maiden name

[@assarschmidt]

*CGP Grey has entered the chat*

[@graphosxp]

❤💯👍

[@michelle34224]

Juicyfruit is jackfruit flavored, no mystery there.

[@michaelfried3123]

actually it isn't that's just a fan based myth. ggogle it.

Who the hell is balancing the audio for Mental Floss vids? The sound effects are significantly louder than the voice over, the actual important audio.
