Every time I use the subject of today’s episode, my husband is quick to point out how I shouldn’t. He loves to tell me about all the injuries this common household item causes, and as much as a lot of what I do depends on my hearing, I can’t help but continue to use it now and again. And I’m sure you do too. You’re listening to The Story Behind: The Extraordinary History of the Ordinary. I’m your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Cotton Swabs. <h2>Let's get social!</h2> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">The Story Behind Discussion Group: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheStoryBehind/">TheStoryBehindPodcast.com/Facebook-Group</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">The Story Behind Facebook Page: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/StoryBehindPod/">TheStoryBehindPodcast.com/Facebook-Page</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">The Story Behind on Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/storybehindpod/">TheStoryBehindPodcast.com/Instagram</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">The Story Behind on Twitter: <a href= "https://twitter.com/StoryBehindPod">TheStoryBehindPodcast.com/Twitter</a></li> </ul> <h2>Support the Show — Become an Executive Producer</h2> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">$1 Patreon Executive Producers — Extra monthly episode and thank you on an upcoming episode of The Story Behind.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">$5 Patreon Executive Producers — Benefits of $1 Executive Producers + Access to the MUSE series as it unfolds.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Click to Support: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/TheStoryBehind">TheStoryBehindPodcast.com/Patreon</a></li> </ul> <h2>The Story Behind is also a Book!</h2> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Find it on Amazon: <a href="https://amzn.to/2FkbVU5">https://amzn.to/2FkbVU5</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Kindle Version: <a href= "https://amzn.to/2CAn9Dj">https://amzn.to/2CAn9Dj</a></li> </ul> <h2>Sources</h2> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.qtips.com/about/">About - A Q-Tips Cotton Swab History - Qtips.com</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/01/20/we-have-a-q-tips-problem/"> The strange life of Q-tips, the most bizarre thing people buy - The Washington Post</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=iG8bAAAAIBAJ&sjid=J0oEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4176,6014561&hl=en"> 1927 Q-Tips ad</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "http://mentalfloss.com/article/70937/15-swab-worthy-facts-about-q-tips"> 15 Swab-Worthy Facts About Q-Tips - Mental Floss</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://earaudities.wordpress.com/2016/01/26/the-marketing-of-q-tips-a-brief-history/"> The Marketing of Q-Tips—A Brief History - Ear Audites</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.livescience.com/59069-cotton-swabs-ear-injuries-kids.html"> Cotton Swabs Send 34 Kids to the ER Every Day - Live Science</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.inc.com/wanda-thibodeaux/what-a-new-study-on-cleaning-your-ears-with-q-tips-should-teach-every-entreprene.html"> What a New Study on Cleaning Your Ears With Q-Tips Should Teach Every Entrepreneur - Inc.</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">​<a href= "https://www.menshealth.com/health/a19542654/why-sticking-qtips-in-ear-feels-so-good/">Why It Feels So Damn Good to Stick a Q-Tip In Your Ear - Men’s Health</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/qkbya3/just-how-bad-is-my-q-tip-habit"> Just How Bad Is My Q-Tip Habit? - Vice.com</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.rd.com/health/beauty/q-tips-uses/">17 Genius Uses for Q-Tips You’ll Want to Use All the Time - Reader’s Digest</a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.bobvila.com/slideshow/14-ways-you-never-thought-to-use-q-tips-51354"> 14 Ways You Never Thought to Use Q-Tips - BobVila.com</a></li> </ul>
