Hi, this is Rachel McElroy.
Hi, this is Griffin McElroy.
And this is Wonderful.
Welcome to Wonderful.
It's a show where we talk about things that are good that we like that we're into.
And it's summer.
It's time for summer stuff, I've decided.
Yeah.
Although I will say that our oldest son is still in school because DC runs a little late.
DC is doing it different.
I get why people here are so sort of worked up all the time.
It's because they're always in freaking school.
so sort of worked up all the time it's because they're always in freaking school um i too would sort of be a little a little type a a little uptight if i had school 365 days a year well
you know they start late and then they also have a bunch of those random days off and so it's not
surprising that we're going until basically the end of june it's just like everybody else is
already you know already you know smoking doobers by the pool life.
Yeah.
Eating a whole pineapple.
Uh huh.
Meanwhile, our poor boy knows the grindstone filling his mind with knowledge.
Yeah.
But this is this podcast is like a little summer break for you.
Not for our son.
He can't listen to it because sometimes I cuss on it.
And not for me because it's very much work.
It's very much work.
You the listener.
You the listener get to enjoy our work.
You're the one who, but we are,
who's our Pagliacci the Clown Man,
I think is the guy's name.
Do you have any small wonders?
I'm gonna say the HBO,
or sorry, Max, the Max series, Smartless.
Oh yeah, that was interesting interesting we watched the whole thing
i was really thinking it was going to be like a promo for their podcast yes but it was actually
filmed like very intentionally to like capture you know some of the like challenges and like
unexpected things that happen when you do a podcast on tour and it was super fun watching
it with griffin who was like was like knuckles
white knuckled through some of it some of the episodes were quite challenging obviously like
we are they're on another echelon of uh yeah they had like a private plane and like the penthouse
suite at hotels yeah so it's not exactly a one-to-one. But I mean, you know, seeing them talking backstage about the show, either what they're going to do or how it went at venues, I would say over half the venues that they performed at, we have done, right?
And so seeing that same backstage area and seeing these very famous men be very nervous about doing a live show made me feel seen in a way that i don't know any uh
like media and trying to figure out like what tone they wanted to have with the audience and
how they wanted to engage the audience was something that you all definitely had to figure
out for several years i would say they also fucking bomb one of their shows yeah like
completely bombs and it's it is uh and they show it like they show
people like leaving and like grimacing in the audience and then the whole next episode is them
kind of trying to recover yeah pivot for the rest of the tour yeah it's uh it it was it was genuinely
kind of a challenging watch for for for me but i am glad that we watched it because i've i've never really seen uh a a version
of the same kind of stress i still get terrified to go on stage every time and seeing you know
incredibly famous successful like will arnett going through the same exactly now time now next
time you get nervous before you can think you know jason, Jason Bateman. Jason Bateman of Teen Wolf also. Hollywood mayor Jason Bateman.
Yeah.
I'm going to say Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse.
When it took Henry to see it this past weekend, sadly, we were in there when the big DC sonic boom happened.
So, like, everybody's talking about, where were you when the big sonic boom?
There was a jet that flew very fast over DC.
And it was loud.
And it was very loud.
I think there's some question as to what actually i don't know this maybe there was a stuff now that like
went kind of went kind of unresponsive right i was reading and again i don't know if this is
conspiracy or not that it like plummeted like a huge distance from the sky and then regained the cessna or the f-16 then the plane they're both planes oh okay
anyway i don't know anything the movie was sick uh it i i i went into it reading nothing which
i'm glad that i did and i'm not going to talk like a ton about it i was not i think prepared for the fact that it is this the second
part of what a trilogy right like yeah um because the first movie didn't necessarily have that vibe
like the first movie was definitely stood on its own as its own thing and is you know one of my
favorite animated movies of all time and this one is much more like building the infrastructure of
the of the trilogy uh so henry i think struggled with it a little bit also because it was a little
bit more sort of intense a little scarier i would say yeah i will say that i mean you didn't want
to spoil it for yourself but i did have a moment where i was like but we are bringing our six-year-old
son maybe you should spoil it a little bit just to like be ready yeah i mean i'm it's not a
thing where i like it was so scary that i regret taking him and there is definitely a lot in there
that he adored yeah there's a lot of spider spider people in this one and some of them he was just
there's a joke in there there's infinity jokes in there but there was one in particular that made him
absolutely uproariously like lose control with, which I've never seen him do in a movie theater before, which is so great.
But I mean, I adored it, and I can't wait for the next one.
And I think you'll like it, too.
I would watch it again once it comes to it.
Yeah, I mean, I liked the first one a lot.
So yeah.
I go first this week.
My topic this week that I'd like to discuss with you and everyone at home is
tupperware and i should be clear i'm not talking about the brand i feel like i have no affinity
for the brand we have many storage tubs right but there is no you know kleenex band-aid like
uh generic i was trying to think what that would be i mean a lot of what we have is like when i think
of tupperware i think of plastic a lot of what we have is actually like the glass glassware which
is obviously like the shit obviously the way to go i'm talking about you know a container modular
food storage okay small small arms food storage solution yeah uh tupperware man alive i love a
good tupperware i love uh the sound it makes when you seal it up
satisfying
every single time
that pop
we got
we have some pretty
heavy duty glass
Tupperware stuff
that when you snap
that shit shut
it like lets you know
like do not
don't worry
the stuff you've put in here
is good now
you
there is no doubt about it
I've had some shitty
Tupperware in my life
where I'm like
did that really seal
is that gonna
not this stuff we got that real we got some pyrex shit we got some
you know ikea giant ikea set that we got for like 20 bucks um so obviously tupperware not the first
food storage solution in human history i'm pretty sure people were like a leaf right it was a leaf yeah it was a leaf and
then they they used some vines to tie it around their leftover pizza yeah they would tie vines
and leaves around that no i mean yeah you got like salt curing and burying you know jars of food in
the ground and all that jazz um i'm not gonna go back quite that far uh but tupperware did sort of revolutionize the whole leftover game
when it was invented in uh 1946 by massachusetts's own earl tupper didn't know oh that's nice did not
know that that was a dude's name gosh i bet there are ancestors out there or rather progeny out
there that introduced themselves as tupper everyone's like oh like the wear and
they're like yes actually yes my dad billionaire earl tupper actually no if he found much finance
i mean this is a very successful product he actually came up with uh these plastic containers
made out of polyethylene you know little uh pellets that he could melt down and turn into
these very secure containers all the way back in 1938.
Wow.
But he did not bring them to market until he could figure out how to make them sort of financially viable,
which would come in the form of the Tupperware party.
Yeah.
This is probably one of the more sort of remarkable like direct marketing tactics in consumer history.
Was this like our parents' generation
or was this before then?
So this was like 1951 is sort of when things got,
started to kick off.
And for a Tupperware party,
basically like folks,
typically like 1950s housewives,
generally speaking,
would host parties for their friends
where they could come
over and demonstrate and more notably sell tupperware to earn you know a little bit of
for themselves a little bit of that um you know mary k i'm assuming not nearly as intrusive as
all that because you're not subscribing to tupperware i'm guessing yeah um although i've
never been to a party like that you have right you've
been to like a party that one of your friends no i feel like i i have been to someone's house
that was selling mary k um as a young person i went with my mom and i remember that very vividly
uh did you feel pressured i guess not if you were like. I was a child. A child. Yes. They didn't have like Mary Kay for kids.
Kay for kids is like good.
Like there's something there.
I mean, I was old enough.
I must have been like a young teen because I was old enough where makeup was of interest to me.
But yeah, I didn't feel like I had to buy a lot.
So the Tupperware party formula was sort of further developed and popularized by a woman whose name is Brownie Wise,
which is a lot of good names in this story. And she sort of took the initiative to host a ton of
Tupperware parties and jubilees. And so she was named VP of Marketing for Tupperware in 1951,
after kind of catching Earl Tupper's attention. What's a jubilee?
I guess just a big, like, Tupperware festival. What's a Jubilee? I guess just a big Tupperware festival.
Carnival rides.
A big carnival of Tupper celebration.
This still exists today, right?
Tupperware is still a brand that exists today,
and they do have direct-to-consumer Tupperware
peer-to-peer, I guess multi-level sales things
and big Jubilees where the top sellers of Tupper products are recognized and awarded for their valiant efforts in the fight against staleness.
And that sort of legacy is kind of a mixed bag because on one hand, it absolutely was a gendered thing that kind of pigeonholed sellers in this traditional,
you know, domestic lifestyle.
Yeah, I mean, that still exists today.
The whole like LuLaRoe thing was like, let's target women and make them feel like they're
in business for themselves when actually.
Right.
But on the other hand, there is a read on this where, you know, it was post-World War
II, there were a lot of women who were coming back from the wartime workforce who, you know, it was post-World War II, there were a lot of women who were coming back from the wartime workforce
who, you know, didn't have an avenue
for that interest or that effort.
And so, you know, they could become Tupperware salespeople
and it would give them an opportunity to stay,
you know, gainfully employed in a manner of speaking
that, you know, otherwise they would not really have access to yeah and
it's the kind of thing like obviously there is an opportunity to make money in this kind of
environment you know you just you have to be a salesperson right now and not everybody is no of
course not um i don't really care so much about the history of of tupperware as a company beyond
that because frankly we don't use tupperware anymore we we got some some that pyrex shit we got some loctite um did you really keeps it fresh i have very strong memories as a child
of microwaving things in tupperware and then after some time there would be like a stain around it oh
sure uh and then it's like oh well now it's time to get rid of it yeah no i mean i i we have this
glass stuff now that i feel like we have had forever, right?
Like we get that stuff and it lasts a really, really, really long time.
The only reason we ever replace it is if like we lose it.
If we like forget it.
Well, and the lids can get kind of icky.
The lids can get a little bit icky, but it takes it certainly much, much longer than that, you know, much flimsier plastic that would eventually turn.
If you put that sweet spaghetti in it once, that shit is now pink like the rings around
the tub in Cat in the Hat.
Like it gets it gets kind of gnarly.
But, you know, in our house growing up, that would not be a reason to throw it away.
It would just be like, yeah, you put your, you know, leftover meatloaf in the pink tupperware that has been sauced up yeah now it's now it's the red sauce tub right we had
a whole cabinet just chock-a-block full of tupperware mismatched uh tupperware occasionally
we would do like a clean out where just like almost all of it would go because for whatever
reason none of it matched anymore due to the wellages yeah and your your mom would make like the big meals right like oh yeah yeah
like if if you we were riding those things hard and putting them down wet absolutely we also did
the extremely folksy thing or my mom did i guess and i'm curious if this was an experience for you
if it was solely a sort of appalachian southern thing of using containers of country crock butter spread
as Tupperware. Oh, my grandparents did that. If you're not familiar, because I don't even know
if country crock exists. I probably could have Googled that before hopping into this. But
they were these big tubs of butter spread that we always had. we always at least had one tub of usable country crock at any given
time but they were like pretty big pretty you know nice consumer plastics grade containers
uh that we would also have a few in the fridge at any time uh one of which i remember was a
smaller tupperware container that just always had like sort of
reclaimed bacon grease would go into that one type of where and so like whenever we cooked eggs or
anything like that like we knew we had we had the country crock container bacon grease it did get a
little bit dicey though when it's like i'm gonna have myself a roll and you pop open a country crock
and there's just like you know fucking ravioli in there for some reason
um but that was that was always very charming to me and it has messed me up a little bit whenever
i see country crock i just assume like there's no way there's actually butter spread in there
um but yeah i love the convenience of it i love uh post dinner cleanup is a lot easier when you
know you can just pull out one of these sweet, glassy bad boys and just dump them.
We have so many different – we don't have an excessive amount, right?
Like, we don't have a whole giant cabinet full of mismatched – we have, like –
We have a drawer.
Our shit is pretty well-maintained.
We have a drawer.
And we have a lot of different sizes and depths.
And there is a lot of satisfaction I get when i pick out the like perfect like i just no
scope it like i look at how much you know leftover ground beef there is in this thing and i say oh
we're gonna pull out the size four depth grade two the two and a half inch deep uh circular
tupperware for this one because that's also exactly how much room we have in the fridge
when you get that match that perfect sort of guess,
and it just gets in there just right.
Yeah, of course.
Nothing worse than filling up a Tupperware
and then there's like just enough left in the pan
that you're like, well, fuck, I don't want to have sullied this.
That's always very disappointing.
But I feel like that is more often than not,
I'm able to just split the uprights perfectly
and that's very satisfying.
Tupperware, I love it.
I love opening up the fridge
and seeing a little uh beautiful museum of and we don't always get around to it yeah i will say
this is a hot topic for us uh griffin after about two days doesn't want a leftover anymore it's
extended for me i feel like three days i now have like a three day grace period past that i tend to
push it a little bit and i have regretted it yeah i definitely i err on the side of caution just
because of the way that my gullyworks function and their sort of sensibility um or sensitivity
i don't think my gullyworks have their own sense and sensibility um but yeah that's tupperware i
love it man i love I love Tupperware
and I'm not afraid
to fucking admit it anymore.
Well, I know what you're getting
for Father's Day.
I hope not Tupperware, actually.
We're good on that.
You said you loved it.
I love the stuff we have now.
I love our two sons.
I don't want more sons.
You know what I mean?
That's good.
Anyway, can I steal you away?

So we're going to see if I can hang with this.
How cash.
I always do it from the phone.
I know you do.
I feel very cool.
I do the laptop,
which is a little difficult, I think.
And it burns your lap.
When you stand up after recording,
your lap is just blood red.
Beet red.
My laptop from 2007.
Yeah.
Okay. So this is one of those things things there are a couple sites i go to when i'm like looking for topics uh and one of the ones i really like is mental floss
yes uh because they pick kind of surprising things uh and i typically don't choose because i
from there because you know a lot of times'm like, I'm not actually excited about airplanes.
Right.
But this one I was.
This is from an article that just came out last week about scratch and sniff.
How have we not done scratch and sniff before?
That just feels very like in our wheelhouse.
You think we have?
Oh, I don't know.
You know what we did?
Smell-O-Vision.
Oh. Yeah. Okay. Well, I don't know. You know what we did? Smell-O-Vision. Oh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, this isn't that.
Okay.
I mean, I guess it could be.
I don't know how Smell-O-Vision worked.
It was, you had a little scratch and sniff card that you would go see.
Okay.
Well, let's, hey, let's talk about how that worked.
Okay.
Yeah, sure.
Because if I had to ask you how does scratch and sniff work, could you answer?
I think there's like a little waxy seal over the smelly thing.
And when you break that, it frees the smell particles inside.
Kind of like that.
Okay.
But don't you want to know more?
This is my newiff sort of phenomenon.
I mean, there's a lot more to the story.
Do you want to pivot?
No.
No, okay.
okay we'll see if you're if you're really an expert you feel free to jump in yeah sure and this was this episode that we did this on was a very very long time ago so you know maybe i've
maybe everybody is maybe if i hadn't said anything now people probably would have noticed
okay some of this you probably did cover so i'll race
through it so and it does sound familiar now as i'm looking at it rachel my love do you want to
just talk about the television show that you were thinking about doing as you're saying no i think
we should finish it just okay just a heads up there is a television show i got very excited
about last night but we have not finished the season and I want to make sure that it turns out okay before I talk about it.
Okay, Scratch and Sniff started by 3M.
Microscopic capsules were used in this carbonless paper, and then the pressure of the writing implement would cause the capsules to burst.
Writing implement?
Who scratches a scratch and sniff with like a pencil
we're not talking about we're not talking about scratch and sniff yet we're talking about 3m
was looking at like a carbon copy you remember these things yeah sure uh and they were using
microscopic capsules of colorless ink uh instead of the carbon that seems really inefficient it
would burst so kind of like you know how it's like the only thing i can think of that still exists and i just saw it is in a
checkbook there's like that little paper underneath yeah sure keep it it's kind of like that i've
always wondered how that worked um okay so 3m was like hey look at this micro capsule technology
we could put more in there than just ink and so they took scented oil
in polymer bubbles and they could print aromas alongside words and images how did they not call
it stink is my question stink stink they probably discussed it they probably that had to come up
there's no way that i was the first one. They decided that probably isn't the most appealing way to talk about it. And so scratch and stiff technology has been around since 1969, which kind of blew me away. Like I associated very much with our childhood.
Yeah, no, I mean, I imagine it probably came about as part of the space race. Just like so much technological innovation came around from our desperate need to reach.
If we go to the moon and there's life there, we want to make sure that our space shuttle smells like America.
After we apply a little bit of force to the surface of it.
Come here, alien life form.
I want you to smell this hamburger.
The aliens will pull out like fucking
laser blades and like cyber helmets and shit and be like oh we'll check this out brush cut grass
uh so obviously chemists had to to help create these either with essential oils or
synthetically uh and they started cataloging a library of like new car and bubble gum right
which like for the context of me like i know this is a sticker like a little strawberry sticker that
smell like strawberries it seems weird to me that you would want to scratch something and smell new
car but i mean it seems you must understand it seems weird to me as an adult the impulse to want to scratch
something and smell smell it do you know what i mean like i don't go around seeking out smells
except i mean we have candles for that right like we've in room room spray but a lot of times
what i find helpful about it as an adult is a lot of times if that is available to you and you can't open the package, you know, so like if you were buying a product and it's like scratch to smell what this room diffuser is going to smell like.
That is helpful.
It's helpful.
What would be dope is if we had smell recorders.
And so like if we're, okay, we go to Disney World, we go to Wilderness Lodge, and we're making beautiful family memories, and it has a sort of distinctive scent.
I pull out the stink recorder, and I capture it, and then anytime I want, I can smell it, and I can smell that memory.
You're calling it a recorder.
Like a stink recorder.
But it seems more like a jar to me.
Well, no, because a jar is not going to, I don't think that is actually, I don't think that actually works.
Oh, where you can hold something in a jar?
Well, a smell in a jar.
I don't think that that actually functions that way.
Not after you open it, I'm sure.
No, yeah.
I want to have immediate access.
You want a recorder.
Yeah, a stink recorder.
You want an archive of smells.
Yeah.
Okay.
I don't think that's asking too much.
So one of the earliest uses of this was a picture book published in 1971,
Bunny Follows His Nose,
where the bunny rabbit would explore various outdoor scents
like roses, peaches, pine needles.
Great.
Oil capsules were embedded in the book's pages,
and you could scratch and travel along with the bunny.
This is what I didn't realize,
but it makes sense now, obviously.
This kind of technology is what perfume swatches are all about.
So in a magazine, this is another memory I have from high school,
is getting a Cosmo magazine,
and there's six different perfume samples in there,
and you open the little flap, and then you're like,
oh, I do like that.
I remember reading a Nintendo Power magazine that had an advertisement for this sort of irreverent
jrpg called earthbound and i'll never forget it and you could scratch it at one part of it
and it smelled like a fart and it was like the worst thing i've ever smelled in my life
and then i was like i gotta get this fucking video game, man.
How were those related?
Was it just like a gimmick or did it relate to the game in some way?
There's a character in it
that's like a big pile of slime.
And I think it was like you scratch.
I don't know.
I will have to Google this later
because now I'm feverishly
trying to remember what it was.
There are a lot.
So there are a lot of video games
that use this.
Strangely, when I was looking it up, Gran Turismo 2 and FIFA 2001 had a scratch and sniff disc.
The fuck?
Not really related to the game at all.
Leisure Suit Larry.
That doesn't surprise me.
That dude's fucking nasty.
Had a scratch and sniff card with nine different scents.
Okay, but a disc is like, I can't think of an object that exists on Earth that you want to scratch less.
Yeah, Earthbound.
Okay, here it is.
One contained a mystery scent.
If the player guessed the scent and sent it into Nintendo, they could receive a prize.
The scent turned out to be pizza.
Oh, okay.
Maybe that's what I, for an advertisement, is that what it was?
Like an advert average like a promotion
or was it the cartridge itself uh can't be the cartridge six scratch and sniff cards okay
okay i don't know why i remembered smelling a fart maybe that was just like let me keep looking
here tonight there's several games on here but i don't know that i'm gonna find i feel like toe
jam and earl probably has some sort of stink-based.
Yeah, those are all the ones.
There are a lot of yucky games from like that 90s Super Nintendo Genesis era that were just kind of like yucky.
Okay, so you can still find this today, but it's not as popular as it was in like the 1980s and 90s.
And I still, I mean, I still love it.
I was just at the store the other day and there
were all these products and it's like how am i supposed to like room diffusers the reason it
came up is that's what i was looking at yeah was like this one smells like like ocean and i was
like well that could be good or it could be really really bad and i wish i could smell this right now
yeah i couldn't and it's in a contained way
right like you don't want all those products blasting off all and like if you walk down that
aisle you would die no i want specifically little scratch and sniff so it's up to you
you decide how the smell comes out and into your nose and i mean hopefully i remember this about
scratch and sniff too and i guess it makes sense now knowing about this micro capsule thing is that eventually the smell was just not there anymore.
Yeah.
And it makes sense now that if you like burst every little micro capsule, you wouldn't be able to.
Yeah, no more stink capsules in there.
No more stink.
That's a shame.
They should send, there should be a subscription service.
So when you finish your.
Get new stink every month.
Little bunny finds a stink when it runs out.
You can send it back to the factory and they'll restate they'll restate more stink i need more
stink please spray it with whatever i don't know i don't know nasa how you guys figured this out
um that's it for our show this week footloose and fancy free it felt like to me yeah i mean and i'm
i'm sure you're grateful now that i talked more about yeah the next episode
join us when i talk about sniff and scratch which is a different a fully different totally
different subsidiary by m3 by m4 uh okay you did this one um thank you so much to bowen and
augustus for the use for our theme song when he won't pay you can find a link to that in the
episode description thank you to maximum funum Fun for having... Whoa.
What did our listener at home send in?
Well, let me thank our Maximum Fun.
We haven't decided on the order here. I always assume...
No, it's jazz, baby.
I always assume when you start thanking people that our show is over.
Anna says, hello, Rachel and Griffin. As a teacher, my small wonder is when students
learn something about you and remember it, like a snack you love or your favorite movie.
It makes you feel appreciated and seen oh wow i'm trying to think if i can remember anything that my
teachers liked hmm uh i remember in high school because i feel like in high school i had a few
teachers that were like they were allowed to decorate their room a little bit and we definitely had one who um she was not the best teacher but she had a lot of like
quotes from firefly on the wall okay and buffy and stuff and i remember all right all right i get
that was the first time i think i realized that teachers also liked like this the same kind of
stuff that i potentially liked no i had a eighth grade
english teacher who had like a fuji's poster on her wall which felt like she was trying though
because she she did not seem like the coolest well fuji's had crossover appeal i think forever
and then i had a physics teacher in high school that liked moon pies again not a particularly
good teacher but but full of novelty. Yeah.
Micah says, my small wonder this week is playing Frisbee golf. It's such a fun way to spend some time outside with friends at our local park.
None of us are very good, but that just makes it all the more satisfying when the disc catches some major air and flies a good long distance.
I have played this game once, and I wasn't good at it.
Because the Frisbees are weird.
They're like really –
They are different.
They're like little thin crust Frisbees.
Yeah.
But it was fun.
I just felt like any Frisbee based,
I feel like more than any other sort of
pseudo sport diversion,
Frisbee is the one that I feel
the most self-conscious about playing
because I don't have that kind of Bodhi lifestyle.
I don't have that vibe about me. And so I worry about the because it like my i don't have that kind of bode lifestyle about i don't have that vibe about me and so i worry about the sort of like perceived authenticity of it
whoa that's but i mean that's me man that's just the way i rock um i was just thinking it's the
kind of thing that it's like a skill you don't really build much outside of the specific game
yes you know so it's not like another sport where you can kind of be like oh
well i've run before so i might be good at this it's like well no i don't typically throw things
this way and so i really have to put the time in yeah yeah if you're not good at throwing a frisbee
there's like there's like one good way to throw a frisbee and like 900 really bad ways and so it's
hard for me to sort of dial in
sometimes but it does look really fun yeah it does look like the kind i like golf i don't play it
like ever but it's fun to make a thing go a really long way into a target yeah and with frisbee golf
too or whatever you want to call it disc golf you don't like have to buy a whole big bag of clubs no you just need what 18 different
kinds of frisbees for the different that is what boggled my mind when we went to play with our
friend evan uh did he have a whole assortment he had a few he had he definitely had like a driver
and a putter frizz um which was confusing to me but delightful um thank you so much for listening
