So, National Geographic gave us the green light to produce Ingredients way back in September of 2015. We made 11 episodes. We've been airing them weekly, and if you've been keeping track, you know that that means that last week's episode about gum sweetener was our last episode of Season 1.

I just wanted to say thank you. Whether you just watched, or you watched and commented, or tweeted with episode ideas, or ways to make my versions of the product better, or just jokes about my arm hair, which are richly deserved, thank you.

Now, you guys also came up with some great suggestions for things to do in future episodes. Glowsticks seem to be really popular: hairspray, deodorant, pet food, cigarettes, tanning lotion, cockroach killer, icy hot, instant hot chocolate, and about 85 other things. I would love to make episodes about all that stuff, but I need your help.

First, subscribe! I don't know where the annotation will be, but please subscribe. Next, maybe pick your favorite episode and tweet about it, or post it on Facebook, or post it to Reddit. Basically, just help me spread the word about the show. If you've already been doing this, thank you!

And the last thing I want to do is give a huge shout out to everyone who has helped me make the show what it is over the past year and a half: Elizabeth, Dan, Pear, Bret, Cerie, Adam, Emily, the guys from Pick-Up Sticks Ingredients, and everyone from NatGeo: James, Danielle, Will, Malena, Lindsay, Stephanie, Lisa, Damn, Rebecca, Nicola, Anna, Kelsey, Gay, Becky, Todd, Teresa, Brett, and Leanne.

Alright, that's it for now! Please subscribe and please share.

The Most Persistent Myth

This will revolutionize education. No prediction has been made as often or as incorrectly as that one in 1922. It was Thomas Edison who declared that the motion picture is destined to revolutionize our educational system and that in a few years it will su…

Thomas Hunt Morgan and fruit flies

Where we left off in the last video, we were in 1902-1903, and Mendelian genetics had been rediscovered at the turn of the century. Bovary and Sutton independently had proposed the chromosome theory, that the chromosomes were the location for where these …

"STOP DOING THIS If You Want To Be SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE!" | Kevin O'Leary

I’m the mean shark. I’m not the mean shark. I’m the only shark that tells the truth. My wife’s sitting there, and with my daughter, and he stops and says to them, “Hey, that guy from Shark Tank is sitting in the can, that [ __ ] Kevin O’Leary.” And Linda …
