This episode celebrates Stuff You Should Know's milestone 1,500th episode by diving into the rich and surprising history of breakfast foods! Josh and Chuck explore how breakfast evolved from religious fasting rituals and boozy morning meals into the familiar spread we know today, tracing how bacon, bagels, oats, coffee, orange juice, pancakes, waffles, and French toast became breakfast staples—often thanks to clever marketing campaigns and technological innovations. They reveal fascinating details like how Edward Bernays convinced Americans that bacon was essential, how frozen orange juice concentrate saved soldiers' breakfasts during wartime, and the ancient origins of pancakes, while also sharing their personal breakfast preferences and celebrating the incredible journey that got them to this impressive episode count.
