In Tennesse it’s really cold, so I thought I would “heat” it up a bit with some “Useless Friday Info”.
This week we’re getting you chock full of information that you can throw around at all of your upcoming Christmas gatherings. Just remember to thank the “preacher” for making you look good in front of friends and family.
With that being said…here is this week’s edition of “Useless Friday Info”.
“To clean rusty knives and blades, stick them into an onion and leave them for some time.”
“The first product to have a bar code scanned was Wrigley’s Gum.”
“Red wine will spoil if exposed to light, hence tinted bottles.”
“The term “soap-opera” was first recorded in 1939 as a derogatory term for daytime radio shows that were sponsored by soap manufacturers.”
“Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.”
“Porcupines float in water.”
“Take a quick look at this sentence: “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy yellow dog.” This sentence uses every letter in the alphabet.”
“Starfish don’t have brains. They feel their way through life just using the senses of touch and taste and smell.” (Do you know anyone like this?)
“The red wagon by Radio Flyer is such a classic that its actual shape has been trademarked. Demand remained so high even during the Depression….1,500 wagons were produced each day.”
“In the 38 years of its existence the Ohio Art Etch-a-Sketch still uses aluminum powder as its magic ingredient.”
“The earthquake-proof design of the Imperial Hotel inspired architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s son John to create Lincoln Logs in 1916.”
