Every Tuesday and Thursday, Maurice, Angel, and Eugene play Baffled By The Bunch.

 

Angel asks a question based on a fact and you, have to figure out who is actually telling the truth.

 

Sounds simple enough but some of the facts that are true will, well, baffle you! Today’s episode of Baffled By The Bunch was about the Cold War and how the US tried to win by “parachuting” this item into Russia.

 

 

The options are A] Condoms  B] Saucy pics of Marilyn Monroe or C] Dollar bills.

 

Bruce took to the plate to try and figure out, which of the three stories is the actual truth.

 

Who do you think is lying or telling the truth?

 

Yes, one wouldn’t associate a contraceptive with the “war” between the USSR and the United States but one strategy considered by the CIA was parachuting big condoms into the Soviet Union and writing ‘medium’ on them.

 

This was supposed to be a method used to tell the Soviet Union women that American men were superior even in this aspect of life.

 

Tune into Baffled By The Bunch, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:50 pm, only on the Smile Drive.
