  Speaker 2: The love is real.

  Speaker 1: but I'd like to think you all just did it

  Speaker 1: on your own. And that's, uh, that's super awesome. And

  Speaker 2: week's Big Bang Round is medicine. We will give you
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: three clue questions, which are all hints to one final question.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: The clue questions may not fall under the same category.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Question one. Since 1896, which company has used 57 varieties
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: as a slogan?
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Question 2. A hotspot for sour fruit production, Traverse City,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Michigan is nicknamed the what capital of the world?
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Question three. Bartender Fernand Petiot is claimed to have invented
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: which cocktail, popular at brunch as a hair-of-the-dog drink?
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: And your Big Bang question, again, the category is medicine.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Developed by Cleveland-based merchant Archibald Miles, a 19th century miracle
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: pill touted as treating everything from indigestion to syphilis. was
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: called Dr. Miles' Compound Extract of What?
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: And now the answers to the Big Bang Round. Question one.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Since 1896, which company has used 57 varieties as a slogan? Heinz.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I read that Henry Heinz developed that because his lucky
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: number was five and his wife's lucky number was seven.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: because they had over 60 products or something, so it
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: wasn't even accurate to that.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: That's funny.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Question two, a hotspot for sour fruit production, Traverse City, Michigan,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: is nicknamed the what capital of the world? Cherry.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Question three, bartender Fernand Petiot is claimed to have invented
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: which cocktail, popular at brunch as a hair-of-the-dog drink? Bloody Mary.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: And finally, developed by Cleveland-based merchant Archibald Miles, a 19th
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: century miracle pill touted as treating everything from indigestion to
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: syphilis was called Dr. Miles' compound extract of what? The
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: food that comes in cherry varieties, made Heinz popular, and
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: one of two basic ingredients in a Bloody Mary. Tomato. Tomato.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: So at the time, Americans didn't really eat tomatoes very much.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: They were more decorative than anything. They had them in
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: flower pots and stuff, but they hardly ever ate them.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: And they were good for throwing at bad actors.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: So after Miles' pills came out, a Dr. Guy R.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Phelps developed his own, and the tomato pill war began.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: The tomato pill war, where we all lost.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Now, Annie, you'll be shocked to learn that neither pill
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: contained any tomato. They were basically a laxative.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: They were, however, a better alternative to mercury pills.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know that was the alternative. So, yes,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: good for them.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: But I guess what it did was it kind of
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: popularized tomato as a healthy food option for people.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: And so it helped usher in tomato being well-known and
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: people being fed with them in the United States. And
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: so now one thing I read said that potatoes are
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: number one, tomatoes are number two in the States.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Tomatoes are great.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Tomatoes are great, man. And you know what's funny? I
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: don't like raw tomatoes, but I'll eat almost anything else tomato-based.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'll eat anything, including raw tomatoes. Got my own tomato.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: But they are healthy, you know.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Good health benefits. So, yeah, I didn't know about the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: tomato pill wars.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: I had never heard about any of this, so that's
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: a fun find.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Didn't last very long. This was in the 1830s.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: When they had nothing else to fight about.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: It only lasted a few years, and then it kind
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: of just fell out of fashion, basically. People just kind
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: of stopped eating. taking them I don't know if it
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: came out that they actually weren't you know tomato based
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: at all yeah or if people literally were like I
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: have a tomato right here I can just bypass buying
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: these pills and eat this like half a cent tomato.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, it seems like it was a good
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: thing to have happened because one, less mercury pills and
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: two tomatoes. So funny piece of history, but it seems
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: like good consequences.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Lots of snake oil back then. You know what?
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Lots of snake oil now, too. Yeah, yeah. We've come
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: so far.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: But in the end, it doesn't really matter. Linkin Park.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Anyway, here's Wonderwall.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, happy birthday and anniversaries to all our listeners who
