  3. Synthesized by the Germans, perfected by the Dutch. Oh, sweet Molly

  9. Cocaine – first isolated as the essence of coca-leaves in 1859/1860 by Albert Niemann, Poeppig

    MDMA – first Synthesized by Köllisch with a patent for the Merck Company in 1914

    Heroin – first synthesized by Alder Wright (not german but british!) But german company Bayer distributed it as a cough medicine for oral use – eh

    Pervitin also known as methamphetamine – first synthesis by Nagayoshi Nagai (japanese not german!). But it was used, studied and distributed in the third Reich for soldiers and pilots – ew

  19. I mean hands down, MDMA is the best German invention by far. The other stuff goes to hard.

  25. Hans was trying to discover a drug to generate a sense of humour.

  26. I still Remember my eastern friend Who was so hyped he used to Scream ” PERVITINA!” And then proceed to dance for hours…

  28. Don’t forget:

    * Discretionary Austerity
    * Diesel – Killed and continues to kill millions.

  29. Eh easy. MDMA. And never tried it but ever say never – Mescaline was first isolated by a german dude.

  33. Germany might have invented MDMA, but I’m proud that we’ve perfected it.

  34. Andreas Sigismund Marggraf bred the sugar beet and developed the process to extract sugar from it

    he is to thank that us central Europeans could get sugar without buying it from the French/Brits/Portuguese/Dutch with their tropical colonies and that sugar is dirt cheap nowadays

    another German, Gottlieb Kirchhoff, developed the process to make corn syrup

    therefore obesity on both sides of the Atlantic is Germans’ fault
