The infamous Red Solo Cup: After listening to the entire screwy Red Solo Cup song, TK left out what sets the Solo cup apart from every other plastic cup on the market, the 3 lines indicating what constitutes 1 drink from the three types of alcohol.
Honey: Honey is the only food on the planet that never ever spoils. Archaeologists found honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are well over 2000 years old and it still tasted like fresh honey.

The Baker’s Dozen: In ancient Egypt and Europe bakers were known for shorting their customers when they would buy a dozen or more. Once their little racket was discovered, severe penalties were given out. Penalties ranged from having their ears cut off and nailed to the front door of their bakery, to having a hand chopped off for each offense. That’s when the bakers decided to build in a little buffer by giving 13 instead of 12, just in case they counted wrong.
Coca-Cola: If it weren’t for 1 ingredient, every time you drink a Coke, you would puke. No joke, each can has 10 teaspoons or 3+ tablespoons of sugar which equals 1 day worth of recommended daily consumption. Sugar concentrated at that level will make you vomit unless, phosphoric acid is added to cut the sweetness to a more manageable level but hey, and at least they took the cocaine out of their product!
