Dracula, Edward Cullen, Count Chocula… they’re all vampires who have one thing in common: they hate garlic! Or, DO they? You see, Loyal Theorist, it’s a lie we’ve been told all of these years. They don’t actually hate garlic! But, where does this all originate? It’s certainly not Transylvania! So let’s suck some blood out of this theory…

the fact that the subscribe button actually does something and matpat isn't just lying is absolutely amazing. protect this person at all costs.
-
Fun fact: Since here, in Romania, Halloween isn't a traditional holiday, garlic is used during Christmas and New years Eve to ward off evil spirits by hanging garlands of it around the windows
-
Personally I subscribe to the notion that they thought it would be funny to convince their food to season themselves
-
I personally like the Hotel Transylvania explanation of Vampires just being garlic intolerant
-
MatPat should do a Food Theory on what the most important meal of the day is.
-
I love one book that claimed it was a different plant that looked kind like garlic and people been doing it wrong the whole time. And the vampires weren't going to go correct them.
-
I thought it was common knowledge that the "garlic" myth was spread by werewolves, during the third "moonlight" war, as their heightened canine sense of smell meant they could sniff out potential vampire victims, as a method of starving out the enemy.
-
So, basically, we're seasoning ourselves for vampires? 😂
-
Garlic is quite literally natures antibiotic, so it really is good for your health.
-
i actually like that idea, a group of vampires going around sparing people who have garlic so that it spreads and becomes a popular idea that garlic wards off vampires when in reality it has no effect, i may add this to my dnd campaign
-
MatPat saying Slavic word upior (upiór in Polish), was one of the things I've never thought I would consider adorable
-
Little known fact: the association between garlic bulbs and vampires has possible origins in Ancient Greece and Rome. Since vampires of that time were seen as jellyfish-like creatures and there were no windows or curtains in most buildings, people would hang garlic bulbs on twine to wrap up the tentacles and stop the vampire from entering your home
-
Another interesting tidbit, Garlic flowers were one of the plants sacred to Hecate, Greek goddess of witchcraft and necromancy, along with Aconite, aka Wolfsbane, aka a popular plant to use against werewolves in fiction
-
I thought it was just that Vampires having hellishly stronger senses made the smell of garlic unbearable to them. Then again; by that logic, the smell of rotting corpses should also deter them. However, rotting corpses don’t cause you to tear up like how Allicin does
-
4:08 I once worked at an Archival Office where they had an original copy of that.
-
Nobody nothing: (3:40) Matpat: ThE StRÂgHoYy ✨💅 😭
-
FunFact: Vampires dying in Sunlight didn’t come until the Nosferatu movie. Before that Vampires simply weakened or at worst lost their powers temporarily.
-
You should do a theory on how Welcome mats are essentially an invitation to enter your home. Vampires love them.
-
7:01 Idk why, but our class did a whole unit on the Salem with trials, and all were hung except for one(male, I believe) was pressed under stones. They did do the river test, but they also did normal court trials as well. :)

8:29 mat can really never stop saying LORE
