The burnt toast is likely a mistaken reference to a Canadian Heritage Minute about an epileptic woman who smelled burnt toast when she had seizures. A pioneering neurosurgeon kept his patients awake while probing their exposed brain to find and burn out malfunctioning nerves. It is actually epilepsy not a stroke that the burnt toast thing is associated with, not that everyone with epilepsy smells burnt toast, that was just the famous one that most Canadians of a certain age will know.
Exactly, that’s their tracking parameter. I like to remove them because, for whatever reason, I find it odd for Google to know that you are the one sharing a video with me.

That’s good to know. So everything after and including the ? is not needed?

I like sharing that info with you! 😉
Yep, not a myth just a misremembering/misassocation.
