  • Ever wondered what pickles and space travel have in common? In this delightfully crunchy episode of Hoo, What? I Don’t Know., Ryan and Vanessa dive into the unexpected connections between pickling, historical preservation methods, and interstellar exploration. From the Dutch origins of the word "pickle" to the surprising role of calcium in both pickles and bones, we explore how pickling shaped Napoleon's armies and could one day sustain astronauts.

    This episode isn’t just about vinegar and brine—it’s a journey into human ingenuity, weird facts, and how seemingly unrelated topics share surprising ties. Tune in for a fun, fact-filled conversation that dares to connect the dots between the culinary and the cosmic.
