Condoms, 3D movies, the name Tiffany ... All of these things have been around a lot longer than you might think. On today's episode of The List Show, we're breaking down our favorite deceptively old things, from synchronized swimming to Juicy Fruit.

Love the Oreo tangent. Lol

Although the Oreo cookie is not the original either! It just had the better marketing

Came expecting the fax machine and got milk washed fish guts instead. Thanks, Erin!

My favourite: The fax machine existed before the telephone. 1843 vs 1876.

A+ video!
Fantastic topic and research!

Poor Hydrox getting beat by Oreos

Further proof it's always best to be second to market

I was expecting to hear the usual "Cleopatra was born closer to men walking on the moon than she was to the building of the Great Pyramids!" Thank you for having some new and different stuff!

The Allusionist's episode "The Tiffany Problem also goes into this.

The cymbal company Sabian in New Brunswick Canada is also owned by a branch of the Zildjian family.

The name joke for a cymbal maker. I had to pause the video I almost died laughing.

Totally off topic, but how about a video on the history of condensed milk? What the heck is it, and what's its origin?
During the work week, I journey over to my daughter's house to let her elderly dogs out for a mid-day relief. I pass by a historical marker in Torrington Connecticut denoting the "World's first condensed milk factory." So naturally, that got me wondering.... It's food history, so dust off Dodd's milk-themed wardrobe and get us learnin'!

Yeah, I hear names like "Tiffany" and "Cynthia" and immediately think "1980s".

Now go to the TV Tropes page Older Than They Think, and I'll see you in a month!

I wonder if “the snakes and scorpions” was a metaphor for painful burning in the nether regions.

Everyone knows you hold oreos under milk like you hold a person's head under water, till the bubbles stop.

Also, the original sandwich cookie was Hydrox. Oreo was the rip-off.
