Your 2018 Fan Favorites

Oh, what a year it's been ... 12/27/18 We left it to you to pick your favorite videos of the year. Here's what topped your list. Talking Fast With a Record-Setting Speed Talker If you were a kid in the '80s, you might recognize this man, or, at least, you'll recognize his velocity of speech. John Moschitta Jr.'s motormouth dominated the airwaves with stints as the fast-talking FedEx guy, Mr. Testaverde on "Saved by the Bell," and the infamous Micro Machines Man.  The Great Bagel Rivalry There's no food as synonymous with New York as the bagel—soft, chewy, doughy, with a generous schmear. But one city is giving the Empire State a run for its money.

The town straddles an international border, with half of it belonging to the Dutch and the other half to the Belgians.  The Mad Genius Behind Chuck E.

Cheese.  Copyright © 2018 Great Big Story, LLC, All rights reserved.You are receiving this message because you subscribed to the Great Big Story newsletter.
