Dr. Strangelove - Precious Bodily Fluids
poolitics
A three-minute clip from Dr. Strangelove in which Mandrake and Ripper (Peter Sellers and Sterling Hayden) discuss fluoridation and 'precious bodily fluids'. It is a famous Cold War satire scene.
HN uses it as a joke reference whenever commenters mock conspiracy-minded worries about purity or poisoning; nobody recommends it as a video to learn from.
