Do you know what's under the Pilsbury Doughboy's Apron?

Doughnuts!

Guys, let's be honest, a donut is just a dessert bagel.

It took me a moment to google, but despite what captions say, it's "Ka'ak"

2:35 Ca-val-ry. *Calvary* is where we nailed Jesus to a stick. Cavalry is a horse, you ride on, and probably use to go up and hit someone with a sharp metal stick. Ideally you both have one btw otherwise it's probably just murder.

Making homemade bagels is labor intensive -- but worth it.

“Doughnut Lassies” sounds like a brand of dog treats.

I would love it if you guys covered what what happened to. Slim Fast.

The reason the Bagel Guillotine is a very well selling practical device is obvious when you consider they many people use them for parties such as wedding breakfasts or for the hotels and motels where they work preparing for the free breakfast. Anyone can use it to slice bagels quickly without hurting him or herself. I have one because I have always been clumsy and none of us is getting younger.

When I worked at SuperSaver (a grocery store popular around Lincoln and Omaha) between 1999-2002, I would buy a $0.39 cinnamon sugar bagel and it would be a meal.

I read Laura Ingles Wilder's Little House on the Prairie book series as a boy. In one of the early books it mentions the family make donuts. They would mix the dough in a roll shape, connect the ends to make a hoop shape, and then cover it in lard grease. Next they would twist the hoops and place them in a cast iron skillet and the donuts would untwist as the lard cooked off. When it was a hoop shape again it would be removed and have either honey and/or powder sugar on top. I believe this predates the captain having them on his boat.

That cavalry charge was the winged hussars. Check out the song about them from Sabaton.

You bring the bagel, I'll bring the schmear

Juggling microwaves... I've lost a few friends to that.

"CAV-ul-ree" not "Calvary". Very different things. @2:35 :)

[wangtoriojackson]

Cavalry*. Not calvary. Those are two completely different words with unrelated meanings.

[justbeingmybestbob]

You should have mentioned Winchel's Donuts as well. That's the donut chain I grew up with, they gave away a comic book with a flimsy 45 record that had ghost stories on them at Halloween. That was the 80s

Did you license @early american when using her video clips?

2:33 it's cavalry, not "calvary".
