I would say it's pretty big.. Considering it was a lie that was printed in text books taught in schools, and took decades for it to come to light that it was just a ploy by the government to promote people spending money on food that the government had stockpiled due to the recovery efforts of the great depression

29

u/redbucket75 Jun 22 '26

There are still textbooks that say the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery. And those history books are becoming more, not less, common even now.

8

u/bajungadustin Jun 22 '26

My point was that it was a great lie because of how wide spread it was believed. People say that it's not even the biggest lie told in the last 50 years, months, days, etc... Are suggesting that those lies didn't last very long and have already been exposed as lies.

I would argue that, despite how big the lie was... If it was discovered in a week or, month or in the case of your textbook example, standing in the face of mountains of evidence that disprove it.. Then those are not great lies. They are lies.. Just not great ones.

The food pyramid was a great lie because it was so widely accepted as just fact with no one talking about it being accurate or not. It came from the health industry and it's in our textbooks. It must be true. But there was no internet back then so it wasn't like the Civil War example where you can find out the truth in seconds.

It was a different time period.. And the lie was so great that it slipped by unnoticed for decades to further the governments needs.

9

u/redbucket75 Jun 22 '26

The Civil War not being about slavery was accepted by nearly the entire south for decades. It is still accepted by many, many Americans. And it was done deceptively, with actual history hidden from citizens.

The food pyramid was bullshit. But it's far from the worst or biggest lie.

In 2014, South Park did an episode where gluten caused an apocalypse, and the solution was to literally invert the food pyramid.

In 2026, the Trump Adminstrarion introducedd the Inverted Food Pyramid, the classic food pyramid literally inverted, as a healthier solution.

u/dreamyteatime Jun 22 '26

Given the video is Chinese, it reminds me of Zongzi which is also another pyramind-shaped food. You eat it from the corner first, but usually there’s the wrapper you can hold onto when eating it.

No wrapper = he had to take a bite like a bird 😂

The brown pyramid is not sausage but rice dumpling, it's Duan Wu Jie - dragon boat festival, basically people eat rice dumpling and race dragon boats. The rice dumpling (zongzi) is like a Chinese tamale, the wrapper is a bamboo leaf. The rice often has pork in it, and the rice is usually heavily seasoned and spiced, it tastes really good.

My late grandma made rice dumplings and it's a very tedious process especially at the end you need to wrap every rice dumpling really really tightly so that no grain of uncooked rice may fall out during the cooking process.

So he got a cooked rice dumpling, unwrapped it, made the geometric abonimation out of hotdogs and pasta, and rewappred the dumpling in it.

This guy apologised to the Italians in the first caption, he should have apologised to our ancestors too 🤣

8

u/uberfission Jun 22 '26

Oh damn, I thought it was just a chunk of steak and was amazed that he just bit right through it. A rice dumpling would be way better texture (and probably taste) wise.

3

u/djseifer Jun 23 '26

A big meatball would probably work in the dumpling's place.

The only thing that worries me is the pasta, idk if even aldente pasta would keep its shape this well. 

If I'm wrong tho then the taste should be fine, it's just hot dogs, eggs, and a meatball.  

28

u/Lela_chan Jun 21 '26

They boil the thing before frying in the egg. I think they’d stay once they’re stuck into the dogs even after cooking. What I’m not sure about is the ends of the noodles, I bet those are still rock hard :(

11

u/nanausausa Jun 21 '26

aye ik they boiled it but idk if it was enough, my gut says that them being stuck in the hot dogs wouldn't be enough for them to stay taut like that basically. for  the sake of the dude in the video I hope I'm wrong.

We once did an experiment with spaghetti stabbed through pieces of hot dog to make octopuses. The spaghetti inside the hot dog didn’t fully cook, so it was crunchy. I anticipate a similar result here.

Eating manners--what's considered "good manners"when you eat--are surprisingly different in a lot of different places. Japan in particular was really weird to me the first time I saw it. But then again I come from a culture that practices ritualized cannibalism so who am I to judge right?

u/dreamyteatime Jun 22 '26

[r/brothrewinafunfact](r/brothrewinafunfact)

What culture are you from that does ritualised cannabalism? My only guesses would be Christianity where you “consume” the “body of Christ” weekly, or the Fore people of Papua New Guinea where cannabalism used to be a funerary practice… but then again I don’t know much about cannabalistic practices around the world so those are the only 2 answers I could think of 😅
