Watch the Short Documentary About the Real Walter White Who Cooked Meth Before Breaking Bad was a Thing

Well here is something I wasn’t expecting to come across on this Turkey Day. In Breaking Bad, Walter White was a chemistry teacher that lived in New Mexico who turned meth kingpin. He made the purest meth that anyone ever came across, and it had his special blue color to signify it was his baby. In real life, Walter White is man that lives in Alabama, who cooked meth for ten years, and did so before the series was even an idea on a piece of paper. I don’t know about you, but my mind is blown.

The video below is a short documentary about the real Walter White, who made a hell of a living cooking meth in Alabama. The video tells the story of this meth cook, as he is trying to get his life back in order while awaiting trial for his actions. Now, in the video some recovering addicts mentioned how he had the best meth they ever had, but it wasn’t because he had a unique knowledge of chemistry. The real White learned how to cook meth from another cook who lived in Oklahoma. He also never used a winnebago, or got a fancy high-tech lab underneath a laundry like in Breaking Bad. He did his cooking behind his house in a crappy little shed, which they show in the documentary. He did, however, have his own Jesse Pinkman partner, but that partner had no hand in cooking the meth, just distributing it.

My mind is completely blown on this. Did Vince Gilligan know about this guy before coming up with the series? Seems like it is too much of a coincidence, but I can’t seem to find any information on if Gilligan did or not. He certainly never mentioned it when being asked in interviews on how he came up with the idea of Breaking Bad. Truly crazy stuff, and I would say check out the documentary below for yourself. Let me know your thoughts on this.
