So I found this tidbit online, I can’t post photos here but I will quote the text. It sounded like something you could definitely report on:
“In 1892, a Canadian dentist called Edgar Parker had a travelling dental show named 'Painless Parker's Dental Circus'. He extracted teeth while a band played to drown out the patient's screams.
Painless Parker (born Edgar R.R. Parker;
22 March 1872 - 8 November 1952) was a Canadian-born street dentist[1 described as
"a menace to the dignity of the profession" by the American Dental Association.”
Taylor, this is absolute gold, thank you so much for sharing!
Also, I forgot to tell you, but your note from several months ago encouraging me to look into food mascots is the reason this post exists, so I'm very grateful!
Also if I may offer a pointless fact, relating to the reference of the dharma initiative - Adam Leadbeater (voice of Chester cheetah at the time) was in an episode of Lost as a cop. So there's that.

OMG I’m honored!
So that's where our current Orange Cheeto got his initial campaign plan?? Only in America.
Beginning to have my doubts about this "Freedom of Speech" thing. A passport to Bizarro World.
Haha! 😸
Wow….You did some amazing research! I would keep typing, but I really need to wipe the orange dust off my fingers.
This is top tier! Truly insane marketing.

Thank you, I’m always in the mood for a pointless fact. The lore of Chester cheetah deepens
Unbelievable read! Thanks for another banger, Rabbit 🐰
I see a potential crossover sequel with @marcusmusick
Dear Rabbit, can we translate part of this article into Spanish with links to you and a description of your newsletter?
Yes, absolutely! Thank you :)
Many thanks !!!
"Or, as Gizmodo put it: 'people didn’t want to admit that they liked a commercial about an asshole who flouts social norms.'"
Gizmodo thinks that victims who serve justice are "assholes". Good thing no one knows or cares what the hells a Gizmodo is.
Don't start no shit, won't be no shit.
