Lawn Chair Balloon. The first myth tested was to see if you could fly a lawn chair by attaching a number of helium-filled weather balloons to it, then shoot one at a time to gently lower yourself to the ground. Of course, this isn't so much a myth as a re-enactment, as we know it happened - there are reports all over the place. But that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

Nonetheless, this was actually proved possible, and it is also the one where Adam went up in the chair, and where we would most certainly see Buster these days. This was, of course, before Buster showed up (he was delivered during the Ice Bullet, Exploding Toilet, Who Gets Wetter episode). Confirmed.

It is also perhaps interesting to note that it appears that female Mythbuster Kari is seen helping out in the background, indicating she's been on board since the very beginning of the show. While it is also true that this isn't really a myth so much as a re-enactment, that doesn't mean it was any less fun to watch. The guys (and girl) are having fun, and that's what makes the show so enjoyable.

Poppy Seed Drug Test. The second myth is a story we've all heard. You know the one: If you eat poppy seeds prior to taking a drug test, you're likely to test positive for heroin. Guess what, boys and girls - it looks like this one's true. Adam tested positive as quickly as half an hour after eating a poppy seed cake (admittedly, an enitre poppy seed cake) and Jamie tested positive within an hour after eating some poppy seed bagels. Confirmed.

Keep in mind, however, that the test used was a simple roll-your-own variety. But it's still probably a good thing to know if you're concerned about that kind of thing.

Goldfinger. The final myth in this one was the "Goldfinger" myth, whereby you can suffocate if your entire body is painted (specifically if it is painted gold, but that may or may not be important). In this case, Jamie was selected as the guinea pig. Since he didn't actually die by being painted, that myth was pretty well busted, but they then put him on a treadmill, only to see his heart rate and general body functions behave strangely, to say the least.

While the myth itself was busted, there does seem to be some truth to the myth that your body does have trouble 'breathing' - just not complete truth that you will die. Since this was such an early instance of the show - in fact, it was one of the pilot episodes - the result was judged inconclusive. If it aired today, it would likely be considered busted.
