Hey parents, trust your narrator here,

0:02

and I'm super excited to tell

0:04

you about a brand new podcast

0:06

from the creators of Who's Smarted

0:08

called Mysteries About True Histories. It's

0:11

full of adventure, riddles, jokes.

0:13

We even snuck some secret

0:15

math into each episode, including

0:17

the title of the show.

0:20

If your kid likes to laugh and

0:22

learn, then they're going to love Mysteries

0:24

About True Histories out now

0:27

wherever you listen to podcasts. Hello,

0:32

smarty pants. Welcome to Trusty Trivia

0:34

Thursday. Today, we're diving into the

0:36

bathroom and brushing up on our

0:39

knowledge about one of the most

0:41

essential daily activities, the art of

0:43

tooth brushing. Before

0:47

we begin today's trusty trivia, I have to

0:49

read a note we received from one of

0:51

our smarty families to the creators of Who's

0:53

Smarted. First, the parents said,

0:55

Who's Smarted is a fun and wholesome

0:57

show the whole family can enjoy. And

1:00

then the kids said, dear trusty narrator,

1:02

we love your podcast and you're funny.

1:04

We like your friend shut Nickerson. Thank

1:07

you for teaching us all sorts of

1:09

fun stuff. We would like

1:11

to request an episode on buildings and

1:13

structures. We want to learn what makes

1:15

them strong. That's from Arthur

1:17

and Theo. Well, thank you

1:19

all so much. And just so you know,

1:21

we did an episode on skyscrapers. Look for

1:24

it in our archives. Thanks so much for

1:26

writing and for smarting with us. Now

1:29

let's squeeze the toothpaste tube of knowledge

1:31

and see what oozes out. First,

1:34

what year saw the invention of

1:37

the first mass produced toothbrush? Was

1:39

it A, 1780, B, 1890, or C, 1920? Did you pick

1:42

A, 1780?

1:50

Brilliant. The first

1:52

mass produced toothbrush was made in

1:55

1780 by William Addis

1:57

in England. He used a bone

1:59

handle. and horse hair bristles

2:01

to keep those pearly whites clean. Next

2:05

question, which ancient civilization

2:07

is credited with creating the first

2:09

form of toothpaste? Is

2:11

it A, the Egyptians, B, the

2:14

Romans, or C, the Greeks? Tsk,

2:16

tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk,

2:18

tsk, tsk, tsk, if you said A, your

2:21

sparkling bright. Ancient

2:23

Egyptians were among the first to use a

2:25

paste to clean their teeth around 5,000 BC,

2:29

mixing crushed rock salt, mint,

2:31

dried iris flowers, and pepper

2:33

to create a cleaning powder.

2:36

Next question, what is a

2:39

common ingredient in toothpaste that helps prevent

2:41

cavities? Is it A,

2:43

baking soda, B, charcoal,

2:46

or C, fluoride? Tsk, tsk,

2:48

tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk,

2:50

did you say C, fluoride? You're

2:53

absolutely right. Fluoride

2:55

is a key ingredient in modern toothpaste

2:57

for its ability to strengthen tooth enamel

2:59

and help prevent decay. Fantastic

3:02

3:52

when Snoop, an experienced dog

3:54

train clueless public? be Sniffy as

4:01

an undercover agent? Mystery.

4:05

of Flugerville isn't Dolesville like Snoop

without Sniffy by his side. Even
