Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is uber in the den with dangerous Day. America's
love affair with pumpkin spice is a drawing to a close.
What do you think? Well, it's still beloved, but maybe
not as much as it used to be. First day
of Fall is a little over a month out September
twenty second, But an early poll found fifty eight percent
of Americans think pumpkin spice is not the best fall flavor,

(00:21):
so it ranked fourth overall. What beat it? Top ten?
Cinnamon was number one at thirty nine percent, salted carmel
number two at thirty seven percent, then candy apple Pumpkin
spice was fourth. Maple was fifth at twenty eight percent,
with s'mores just being just slightly behind it. S'mores, isn't
that a summer thing? Just saying? Pecan was at twenty

(00:43):
six percent at number seven, followed by toasted marshmallows, sweet potato,
and cranberry. And are you more likely to feel sad
when summer ends or excited when fall is here? People
were twice as likely to say they were excited for fall.
And I say I'm glad football's back, But the test
deeper in the well Happy International Left Handers Day celebrating

(01:06):
one in ten people who have life just a little
bit harder. Unless you're a lefty, you don't notice how
many things are actually designed for right handed people. Probably
know some of the big ones scissors, can openers, but
there's a few other things that are like a middle
finger to left handed people. They include zippers on jeans
see the flap covers is on the left, so it's

(01:29):
nearly impossible to zip with your left hand. Credit card machines,
swipers always on the right. If there's a pan, it's
tethered on the right side of the machine. It like pens.
At the bank. Measuring cups you hold one in your
left hand, you're stuck measuring in millimeters instead of ounces. Carfobs,
the key is always opens like a knife, but the

(01:50):
button is always set up for right handed. Lefties have
to open them upside down microwaves. If you push the
buttons to open it with your left hand, the door
hits your arm. Rulers and tape measures. If you use
a tape measure left handed, the numbers are upside down.
Power tools like chop saws, the handle you pull down

(02:11):
on the right. If you're a left ee, you have
to cross your arms to reach across the table, which
is not safe. Novelty coffee cups. They're always printed on
one side of faces righties so other people can see it.
For lefties, it looks blank to other people playing cards too.
I didn't realize this one. The only there's some that

(02:31):
only have two numbers in the four corners, so you
can't see them well, if you're holding them with your
left hand, you can't see them. And serrated knives, even
lefties didn't know this. The teeth are set up on
an offset to twist clockwise with your right hand, so
if lefties tend to cut things like bread a little

(02:52):
thinner on the top and fatter on the bottom. I
didn't know that, but you know, it seems like anything
I cut with any kind of a knife, there's thick
on one side and thin on the other. It's depth perception.
I think tune it again for another episode of Deeper
in the Den with Dangerous Dave right here.
