The 'Roasted Peanut' title card.

Status: Partially Lost


Historical Firsts were a series of promos created by Joe Silver who also worked on first and some bits of second season of Blues Clues, that were aired on Nickelodeon around 1997. The promos showcased the origins of the most important creations in a well crafted humorous way. There were around 5 promos made and aired around that time:

1) Can Opener 2) Roasted Peanuts 3) Potato Chips 4) Skates 5) Ice-cream (Existence Unconfirmed)

Background

In 1997, a series of 1-minute promos were shown on Nickelodeon that spoke of the origins of various materials known to mankind from the likes of Can Opener and how people used to open up cans before the invention of the can opener. The origins were explained in a very cheeky and humorous way which feels more like a historical parody. Same goes for the Roasted Peanuts promo where it featured how roasted peanuts became people's favorite, Potato chips promo where how a frustrated chef accidentally makes thin layered chips and eventually becomes a historical creation. Not much is known about the Skates promo but can recall the elements in the promo where talked about roller-skates. And the Ice-Cream promo seems to be unconfirmed.

Availability

The 'Can Opener' promo has been found in full quality and is uploaded by YouTube channel '90s Commercials'. The 'Roasted Peanut' promo has been uploaded by channel 'loveforlogos' but in a glitchy quality. Both promos are available in the original dub. The 'Potato Chips' promo's original version was uploaded on YouTube by an unknown user for a while only to become unavailable after the deletion of the user's account. The Australian dub of the promo is available online and is uploaded by channel 'BluelsTher'. While, the Skates and Ice-Cream promo are eventually lost.
