Bill Engvall’s Breakfast Woes

Comedian Bill Engvall, formerly part of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, entertains the audience in one of his solo stand-up performances, lamenting the fact that he’s not very adept at cooking breakfast.

Despite his woes, Engvall says he’s still proud of the American breakfast he tries to cook–eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, coffee. But he says a recent commercial has him thinking twice about eating sausage again. In the commercial, the narrator says, “The eggs are from real chickens, the milk is from real cows, the sausage is from Jimmy Dean!” More from the Bill Engvall channel.

Why Breakfast Is So Important

Comedian James Gregory proudly explains why his father’s old-fashioned breakfast–no artificial ingredients allowed–was so damn important.

Gregory tears down today’s wimpy breakfast meals, with their fake butter and colored breads, much to the delight of the audience. Video courtesy of James Gregory: Funniest Man in America.

Bad Aftertaste of Toothpaste?

Bytesize Science takes on a common breakfast disturbance — the foul taste of orange juice after you brush your teeth. Toothpaste is loaded with a cornucopia of chemicals that add flavors, body, texture, and most importantly, the ability to clean your teeth. One compound in particular, a detergent known as sodium lauryl sulfate, is responsible for the suds that you produce when brushing. As it turns out, this compound has an interesting effect on your mouth’s taste receptors. Watch the video to find out exactly how SLS alters your sense of taste, and be prepared to amaze your friends at breakfast when you drop chemical facts on why this bitter combo leads to such a puckered up, gross experience.
