The inventor of corn flakes said it would stop masturbation.
The inventor of Vaseline ate the shit.
Just because you made something, doesn't make you right about everything to do with that thing.
You do get to name it. That's a good point.
Doesnt matter what the creator used it for. We still call them Corn Flakes and Vaseline. Thank you for proving my point.
Well point in fact, Corn Flakes were originally made with wheat, and he called them Granose.
I did know about the inventor of corn flakes from drunk history, but I did not know about the inventor of Vaseline eating. What I hope you're talking about is Vaseline and not poop.
Where did you hear that? I believe it. I'm just curious how you came across this information.
He ate the Vaseline. I think it was on Wikipedia, but I just was looking up if it was actually edible because of the song She Don't Use Jelly by The Flaming Lips and some other thing about putting Vaseline on toast. Dude thought it had all sorts of health benefits.
Thank you that is amazing and so disgusting.
This definitely happens with locals and taprooms. There's always an additional name, or 2, or 3.
It's widely recognized that you get to name it tho.
Nice try with the fallacious comparisons.
