178 Who Invented the Electric Toaster?
This week Dan takes 30 minutes to issue a retraction for something said in episode 159: Best Thing Since Sliced Bread. But we weren't alone in this mistaken information. Newspapers, governments, and historical websites were all taken in by a hoax on who invented this household appliance. Join us as we explore a long-running Wikipedia hoax and dive deep to find who really invented the electric toaster. #BunnyTrails
