“HORRAY MY CAT TURNED 19!”
“Oh sick! What’s its name?”

“YOU’RE A GENIUS! Vat.19!”

Once upon a time, in 1980, there was a warehouse. In that warehouse there were 20 vats. Vat 1 included food, vat 2 clothes, vat 3 lamps etc. until we reach the 19th vat. That vat was filled with curiosly awesome stuff. Unfortunately, the warehouse didnt sell well and they had to dump one of their vats. They chose for the 19th vat, cuz it was selling the worst of all vats. So they dumped it behind their warehouse. 22 years later, a man called Jamie was walking there until he saw the vat. So he looked inside and saw all the awesome stuff. But he didnt know what to do with it. So he made a website called Vat19 (because it was the 19th vat) and selled all the stuff. Very fortunately, he did sell pretty good. But in 2007, the sales didnt go as well. He almost had to sell his website. Until Jon came up with the idea to make a youtube channel for the website. So they did it. And it got more and more publicity. So mutch, they even got to keep their website! And they all live happily ever after
