And, and Fun Fact, Friday will be gone. For now for now. We may revive it, but it for now. It is what it is. And we've got other projects that we're thinking on. Nothing's Nothing's set in stone or fully fleshed out yet.

I have school and it's getting harder. So in your after school stuff you've got, I have clubs that I'm in student government drama debate club, you got a lot going on, I got a lot going on, with work and inside projects and things like that.

It really it kept us going a lot of times. It really you know we've got we got 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.

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.
