Cyanide - Historical Overview

I limit my almond intake to 5,000 in one sitting just to be safe.

This is why I stop eating almonds once I hit 9999.

"Do you know what it does to you? Hydrogen cyanide."

The dipping the bayonets in poison just sounds like those wild battlefield myths that pop up. If youre in a situation where youre using the bayonet to engage someone, whether or not you have the +2 toxic damage isnt going to change a fight thats either win/lose in a few brief moments

"Good evening vendor, one bottle of video-recorder cleaner please" - "Amyl Nitrate, eh, Happy Mardi Gras" "Good gracious no!, I need it because I'm making, uh..., uhh... OK. Happy Mardi Gras".

There was also a case where napoleon wore a cyanide capsule around his neck, when he finally took it in 1814 it only made him ill since it was expired. Terribly lucky and unlucky. Great pun at the end, and great video Johnny!

4:42 that one Tyrant regretting not paying attention in biology class.

I hear it makes a great mixer for Kool-aid (or, at least Flavor-aid). A party favorite at Jonestown.

The deaths in Jonestown took anywhere between five and 20 minutes. Cyanide poisoning is a horrifying and painful death.

You can visit the gas chamber at old Missouri State Prison in the Capitol. They have photos of all the people that met their maker. You can walk in and sit down, creepy as hell

I could see some spy-parody movie try to use an "almond eating competition" as an attempt to complete a job.

I was hoping for some scenes from Anthropoid. Lots of death by Cyanide in that movie.

There's also the myth astronauts were given cyanide capsules to kill themselves if they are stranded in space...

JJ and mark Felton is my entire recommended list

Very interesting and sketchy. Good work Johnny.

Lol, I love that you cut All Quiet and Death Wish V back to back. Keep up the great work.

One Punch Man! Hoping we get season 3 later this year. You're the best Johnny, great video!

My great grand father was in the french resistance from 1941, he got a cyanide pill from the British SOE. He sawed it in the collar of his shirt so he could swallow it even with handcuffs in the back like you say! He never had to use it but got really close to getting arrested, his close partner and best friend was but Gould make an escape thanks to the population who overwhelmed to two french gestapo agents (bastards who would be shot at the liberation). They had to flee and go in hiding. My grand mother had to go to school under a fake ID after that, and they lost most of their possessions. They got the war cross and the "médaille de la résistance".
