  The recent episode...
  
  The two hosts trying to break the myth of c0ckles not being handled in hygenic ways.
  
  They tried interviewing hawkers seller kway teow and laksa (they use c0ckles without shell). From the interview, they tried to find out which supplier they got the c0ckles from and how does the factory shell the c0ckles.
  
  None of the suppliers were willing to be interviewed. They all shy away from it, and some even claimed that they don't have the factory's tel number.
  
  So what does it mean?
  
  Next time when you eat laksa, will you add hum or not?

  So far only saw 1 episode of it. Dunno about the rest of the episodes. But will be interesting since there are so many email rumours flying around.

  Mythbusters (the American one) usually involves them exploding stuff, rockets, guns and other dangerous things

  the SG one is more on the knowledge gain, not on exploding stuff mindlessly.

  the show is not interesting to me
• the Bear

  31 Dec 06, 15:44

  what knowledge gain?
  
  anyway, blowing up stuff isn't as mindless as you think

  i love Mythbusters too.
  
  anyway about the local version. they only 'solve' local myths and such. not as interesting as the original Mythbusters.

  I'm sure Singapore has a lot of interesting stuff to "mythbust" about.
  It's a matter of how the producer and the host present it.
