- [Narrator] While Instagram is one way
to keep tabs on your long distance boo,
"Kissing Booth" star Joey King
gained more than 10 million followers
when the first film came out in 2018.
Elle has to deal with the OMG clique,
but King admitted she didn't realize
OMG stood for the characters' names,
Olivia, Mia and Gwyneth
until after she shot the first film.
The exterior of the Flynn family house
is the same house where Miley Cyrus character lived
in the Ashley 2 episode of "Black Mirror".
Because King had recently shaved her head
for her role in "The Act",
she wore wigs for the filming of "Kissing Booth 2".
She even nicknamed one of her wigs Ralph.
While the story takes place in southern California,
most of the film was shot on location
in Cape Town, South Africa.
- Need a hand? - Hell no!
- [Narrator] Because filming took place
during South Africa's coldest months,
it was tricky for the costume designer
to source clothes that looked like they belonged
in a warm southern California climate.

We need a headliner for the booth.
- No!
- Everyone's obsessed with him!
- Why?!

is all too familiar.
According to one study,
75% of American college students
have at least one long distance relationship.
- I miss you, jerk.
- I miss you more.
- [Narrator] But sometimes distance is good.
According to a 2006 study,
the average long distance couple breaks up
three months after they stop being long distance.
- [Elle] The OMGs literally describe
100 different ways Marco is a snack!

dates back to its first recorded use in 1401.
Elle and her fellow classmates have to sport uniforms.
The average parent spends $162 per child on school uniforms.

filming movies on Harvard's campus has been banned
since 1970 when the production of "Love Story"
caused damage to the campus.
While Elle and Lee are BFFs,
people make an average of 396 friends in a lifetime,
but only one in 12 of those friendships lasts.
- Let's do it.
- [Narrator] In child development,
friendship is an emotion babies can recognize
even before they start walking and talking.
- Don't you believe in charity?
- [Narrator] One of the most expensive kisses
ever bought at a charity auction was in 2006
where a kiss with Kate Moss cost 60,000 pounds.
Kissing can introduce a lot of emotions,
but can also introduce a lot of bacteria.
One kiss can contain up to 80 million new bacteria.
- Sorry, I didn't realize I was gonna be this nervous.
- [Narrator] How long could you lock lips with a crush?
The world record for the longest ever kiss is 24 hours.
Kissing for one minute can burn up to 26 calories.
That's one way to get in a workout.
Could you spot the lie?
24 hours would be one long kiss,
but the world record for longest kiss
is actually more than two days.
If you caught the lie, leave a fact yeah in the comments.
Thanks for playing.
