Nothing better to do on a Friday than a debunking video! You're the only channel I have notifications for. Keep up the good work Ann, we will always support you!

"Drowning is silent" is a message that needs to be more commonly used. So many think that the stereotypical drowning involves a lot of splashing or noise when the reality is (for lack of a better word) unremarkable. One second they're there and the next they're just gone.

Ann: "this will taste disgusting"
Ann immediately feeds it to Dave.
This cracked me up

That extremely serious tone when she said, "drowning is silent" really made me rethink swimming pools. I don't have kids, but a niece and nephew. I'm definitely going to think of that any time I'm around water (especially with them).

"Children aren't stupid, they have no life experience."
Many children grow up believing things that aren't true, adults, with google at their fingertips, will insist what they were taught is correct. Children, however, are more prone to learning new things and accepting prior information as wrong. Naivety is not stupidity, children are taught to learn from adults.

God, the swimming one gives me chills. Our neighbor lost their 6 year old girl to drowning in the pool. There were plenty of adults around, but drowning is a silent killer.

The part about the float ring with the seat in the bottom: that literally happened with my daughter when she was a baby! My friends and I were all in the pool and I watched her flip over. I was maybe 2 feet away from her. Scariest thing ever! Even being able to immediately get her back up, I refused to let go of her after that. Luckily, there was no harm done, she's now a teenager and has never had a fear of water.

I feel like “let’s agree to never do that again” should just be her catchphrase for these debunkings!

Here in Germany we had a TV Show called "Nicht nachmachen!" (meaning: "Don't replicate this"), where they bought an old house or even a farm and showed (with medical backup and firemen behind the cameras waiting, they showed them sometimes) what really happens, if you try certain things out at home. Like cooking something inside a closed can on the stove or putting a bottle inside a microwave. They blew up a lot of things, flooded, destroyed 🙈... It was hilarious and a very good warning at the same time. Your debunking videos always remind me of this show. They are so important!

I do love the dryer cotton candy being entirely “I’m not going to even TRY to do an experiment. You all are not paying for my new dryer.”

What annoys me about the “it should be on the parents/carers” argument is this strange assumption people have that everyone who is a parent is a responsible adult who knows everything, if adults can fall for these videos, what makes you think being a parent magically makes you unable to be fooled? As another youtuber put it, I don’t believe a person’s quality of life should be determined by luck.

@jadethest0ne 4 years ago

As a lifeguard, we actually really hate it when parents rely too much on flotation devices for their kids. 9 out of 10 times the flotation device is not even a proper one meant to keep one's head above the water, and it creates a false sense of security allowing parents and adults to not supervise their kids when they should be keeping an eye on them. I've always loved your debunking videos, but it's nice for you to have included some water safety in here as well as cooking safety

Another issue with the floating rings in the pool is that there is still danger if you use the shown method and don't have sufficient rings near your neck/upper torso. Say if a child only had access to 6 or 7, for whatever reason, they could still end up face down in the pool with no way out of the rings. Pretty inexcusable for a site to promote something so likely to bring harm/death. Good job, YouTube.

Your husband's willingness to continue being the taste tester even after years of tasting terrible things is absolutely lovely.

@kitschy8021 4 years ago

Oh man, that cement watermelon trick is atrocious. I can't wait to see the result but I predict the cemented watermelon will likely be the worst because the cement setting reaction is exothermic, and set cement has very poor tensile stress and hence is very prone to cracking when poured in certain shapes.... Like around a watermelon. This is something you'd only know if you work w cement directly or if you've studied construction materials in uni. However I don't think it's common knowledge so I can see lots of people falling for it.

"Drowning is silent" - too true. I drowned when I was 6, and I mean I stopped breathing and had to have CPR on the beach. I was playing with friends, many of them older, and I had my whole family there "keeping an eye on us" and no one noticed, it was one random other lady who spotted me go under and sounded the alarm. Scary shit, especially now that I have children of my own. Thank you for what you do, Ann <3

"Let's agree to never do that again"
After everything Anne has done for us, it was the chicken hanging from an oven rack that made her say this.

Imagine being a grown adult telling people to pour sugar in their dryer for cotton candy 🤯 RIP all the parents who just wanted clean clothes for the next day

@sj4iy 4 years ago (edited)

I used to make cotton candy as part of my job. Getting any of the stray floss on your hands or arms burned. We definitely did not touch the middle part with our hands once it was heated up. It gets on your clothes, in your hair, on your skin and it's generally uncomfortable to make. I would never try a hack for cotton candy.

Also, when my kids were little, they used the seated floatation devices in the pool...however, an adult was always with them at all times. They were never left alone in the pool.
