MythBusters Mini Myths Season 1 Episode 2 Night Before MythBusters Xmas

In this episode of MythBusters Mini Myths, titled "Night Before MythBusters Xmas," the team sets out to test some holiday myths. First up, they explore the commonly held belief that wrapping a present multiple times makes it harder to unwrap. Using a rig to measure the force needed to unwrap the different layers, they put this myth to the test. Next, they tackle the question of whether it's possible for a Christmas tree to catch on fire simply by plugging too many lights into an outlet. They perform this experiment in a controlled environment and with the help of a firefighter to ensure safety. Finally, the team looks at the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe and whether there's any science behind this holiday activity. Through a series of tests, they investigate whether the scent of mistletoe can affect a person's mood and behavior. As always, the MythBusters team brings their trademark humor and scientific rigor to these mini myths.
