Here are some random facts for you.
1. Progresso canned foods was launched 100 years ago in 1925, when two Italian-American food importing companies merged in New Orleans. But that dusty old can of Progresso soup in the back corner of your pantry wouldn’t be THAT old. They didn’t start selling soup until 1949, and the first flavor was minestrone.
2. There are about 117 million lakes in the world, which cover about 4% of the surface of the Earth.
3. 49% of “Rolling Stone’s” latest list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” were released in the 1960s or ’70s.
11 songs from THIS decade, the 2020s, have already made the cut. The highest ranking one is “Kill Bill” by SZA from 2022. It’s #267.
4. Lewis Carroll never uses the name “Mad Hatter” in “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”. The character is just called The Hatter, and he has a “mad tea party”, so people started to blend the two.
5. You could last about 15 seconds in space without a space suit and helmet before you’d go unconscious, but you could stay alive for up to three minutes.
