8
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:51.240
day to day chocolate and mint together
and it always relaxes you, but also

9
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.280
social poop. So that's a good
reason to celebrate peppermint patties. They were

10
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:59.240
invented in nineteen forty. Nineteen fifty
three, the Girl Scouts started selling thin

11
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.119
mint cookies. Nineteen seventy three of
the first minute chocolate chip ice cream went

12
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.480

combination I like. So I'm gonna sit

13
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.879
today, but I hope you all
enjoy your own chocolate mint today. All

14
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.400

ninety four, number one album was

00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:15.159
takes on an environmentally destructive oil company
Sar steven Sagall, Michael Caine, and

21
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.039
Joan Chin. All right, let's
see it happened in the world. On

22
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:22.000
February of the nineteenth, eighteen thirty
one, in Pennsylvania, the first coal

23
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.840
burning locomotive made its first run.
Before coal trains, they ran on wood.

24
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:30.759
Eighteen eighty one, Kansas became the
first state to ban all alcoholic beverages

25
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:36.240
two nineteen oh six, Battle Creek, Michigan, Will Kellogg and Charles Bowling

26
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.599
they formed the Battle Creek Toasted corn
Flake Company. Yeah today is just Killogg.

27
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:45.800
In nineteen twelve, Crackerjack. They
started putting prizes in their boxes of

28
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.560
cracker ducks. They were just little
plastic dogs and horses and rings and stickers

29
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.400
and temporary tattoos. I don't think
they've changed in all those years. Nineteen

30
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:57.599
fourteen, if you mailed the package
under fifty pounds, it was actually pretty

31
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.879
cheap to do so. In Idaho, little four year old Charlotte Pierstaff,

32
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:06.840
her parents mailed her from their home
and granger to her parents' house seventy three

33
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.159
miles away. Yeah, the Post
Office delivered Charlotte by train. They put

34
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.919
a bunch of twenty five cent stamps
on her coat and sent her on the

35
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.319
way to meet grandma and grandpa.
Well, word got out about and so

36
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:21.360
you can imagine its spread like crazy
across the country, mainly in rural areas.

37
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.560
Now, that lasted until nineteen twenty
when the Post Office enacted the no

38
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:29.960
mailing your kids to rule. So
when he let you do that, unsy

39
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.000
the spring for the postal insurance.
Nineteen forty two, the United States President

40
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.520
Franklin Roosevelt. He ordered the internment
and detention of all Japanese Americans on the

41
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.599
West Coast. Over one hundred and
ten thousand were held in the conser not

42
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.039
concentration camps, but in tournament camps. Most of them are US citizens.

43
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.639
Now this is gross and the Japanese
they had controlled the Ramary Island over in

44
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.520
Burma since nineteen forty two, and
they captured it nineteen forty five. A

45
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:58.680
division of India's army that was led
by the British they attacked the island to

46
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.319
take it back, the Japanese soldiers
being pushed back. They ended up in

47
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:05.280
a mangrove swamp. Over two days, nine hundred and eighty Japanese soldiers were

48
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:11.120
killed by crocodiles. Nineteen sixty eight, Mister Roger's neighborhood debut went all the

00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.319
purpose. They actually found him guilty
