Top 20 Unexpected Myths Confirmed on MythBusters

For those who haven’t familiarized themselves with the MythBusters, it’s all in the name. Basically, the television show sets out to test popular myths to see if they have any sort of real-world backing or are nothing more than urban legend to be told around the campfire.

In many situations, the crew would find out that the tall tale was nothing more than just that. It’s pretty wild how many commonly accepted ideas were actually entirely made up. However, every once in a while, they would find a little bit of truth in these stories that seemed too far fetched to have any accuracy. In fact, they downright flipped some of these ideas on their heads as the “myths” were proven completely factually accurate.

In some of the unbelievable situations, there have been answers that we really weren’t expecting. This time, we tune in with WatchMojo.com as they run through some of the most unbelievable myths that have been proven absolutely true.

From delivery drivers saving gas by only taking right hand turns all the way to modern cars running on moonshine, some of these facts sound like nothing more than a trope from a film. We can definitely see the hero in our favorite action films filling up a car with moonshine in order to get to the finish line. However, it’s not just a trope from an action film but instead, something that has proven to work.

Down in the video below, we check in with a variety of the myths that have been backed up by testing. This just goes to show that maybe not everything that seems far-fetched is all that impossible, after all. Sure, we would still approach things with a healthy skepticism but the MythBusters show us that maybe life is just crazy sometimes.
