I once spent over a year and a half pulling on one of the most absurd threads imaginable: who actually invented the beer helmet?

What started as a harmless curiosity turned into a strangely compelling mystery - a ridiculous rabbit hole that spiraled into one of the dumbest, least-official “conspiracies” I’ve ever researched.

Here’s a snapshot from one of the Google Docs where I tried to untangle it all, along with a link to Part 1 of the (never resolved) four-part series that came out of this investigation. If you’d like to experience the chaos firsthand, you’re more than welcome to dive in.
