(Oops, accidently forgot to count this one) After the season 4 finale, I thought it would be fun to go back through the other videos and find out the real scores in each to see if Ryan actually won any. This will be focused on the points won during the questions only, not the extra points the professor gives out willy-nilly. Actual Score: Ryan had 1.5 points and Garrett had 5. The guest won fairly

[@KS-ns4op]

had Ryan won any?

[@destinystewart1431]

As a current history major in college, I am constantly reading and writing about history, which can be tiring. These videos are a great reminder that history can be fun and brings me joy that reminds me of why I love history. So please never stop Puppet History.

Hopefully you’ll be able to do something with your history major that pays it forward and helps make history fun for the next generation! Best wishes!

My great-grandmother was born in 1916 and lived in central MA. She told me whenever she was in Boston during hot summer days as a young woman, the whole city would smell a like molasses, as some was still stuck in cracks and crevices and would melt in the weather.

[@svea880]

Did she mention anything else of interest? That’s really cool.

[@princesskatarina351]

I worked at a Sam's Club (in the late 90s), when a co-worker stacked a pallet of heavy hot cocoa mix on top of a pallet of Mrs. Butterworth syrup. After it crashed down (thankfully in the middle of the night, so no one died or was injured), it took a few days to get it mostly cleaned up. But for years, they were still finding sticky goo all over the shelving, and the smell lingered. I can still smell the sickly sweetness, if I think about it. So yeah, I can almost empathize with the people of the North End. Thankfully, I don't have the added baggage of friends and family having died from said flood, or the pandemic, or the war that also recently happened.
