    Sucralose, the sweetener in Splenda: “Phadnis was told to "test" a chlorinated sugar compound. Phadnis thought Hough asked him to "taste" it, so he did. He found the compound to be exceptionally sweet.”
    This was in England. In 1976.

T'Pol's great-gran sells Velcro to a company or something for a large sum of money to help send a young friend to university. Apparently, she learned something about compassion from us humans! 😉 Interestingly, one of the other Vulcans was named Mestral, after the actual inventor of Velcro. 🖖😀

      @Barbara Mulvaney it's a great episode. Infact all of enterprise is pretty good (and I LOVE TRIP LOL) As long as you arent a person who is going to freak out and be like but that cant have happened because in the original series or in next generation they are seeing this for the first time or that never happened ect ect. My best friend and I have had many fights over this (and especially over the new movies with Chris pine as I try to rationally explain that it's a different timeline and that's why it's different they could technically redo all of star trek ever made but for a new timeline. And he is very headstrong that no that didnt happen spock blah blah blah Kirk blah blah blah....you get the idea. He also truly hates any episode of star trek that involves time travel (which are some of my favorites) he says time travel is impossible, the Vulcan science directorate has said time travel is impossible (yeah. Cause vulcans are always right....pssshhh.....but they are my favs....love you spock....I have always been and shall always be...your fan)
      So yeah unless you enjoy doing those sorts of fights and seeing what you can find that's right or wrong or how it could be explained/possible or if you are super stuck on original canon then avoid it. But if you can get past that definitely give it a watch...

    I remember around 1978-79 we had bought one of the first counter top microwave ovens on the market. The Amana Radar Range. Damn thing was nearly 200lbs. ! Also, even if you had a good coal fired furnace in your house the coal dust would settle on everything you owned. With loading coal into the coal bin and shoveling it out and into the furnace it created a fine dust. The reason that you used the play dough like products to clean the wallpaper was because the paper was just that, paper, and it was not sealed so any moisture would make the color run or the paper disintegrate.

    • @DaveTexas
      @DaveTexas 4 роки тому

      You did not have "one of the first" countertop microwaves in 1978. Amana introduced the home microwave in 1967. My parents bought one in 1973. It weighed about 50 pounds. I had a 1975 Radarange until earlier this year. It was quite different from the 1973 one my parents had. Why? Because Amana made many different models.
      So, your microwave wasn’t early and it didn’t weigh 200 pounds. You just don’t know what you’re talking about.

    We had an Amana Radar-Range microwave back in the mid 1960's. It had 2 knobs (0-5 min, and 5-60 min), 3 buttons (on, off, defrost) and a manual locking door. Quite spiffy back in the day.

      I remember a commercial for an off-brand cereal company that was like, "People people feel weird about buying our cereal because it comes in a bag-- But all cereal comes in bags!" Then she snapped her fingers and all the cereal boxes vanished. Totally didn't mention the seal feature. Lost opportunity. Why do I remember this garbage?

    • @annettepenwell6220

      not true, its a few (very few) huge bags of cheaper stuff. The boxed stuff does not have ziplock and the entire isle is in boxes but for that tiny bit on the end. So Most no, just the stuff that comes in bags not boxes (even tho there is a bag in the box).
