Hello and welcome to fancied facts. You've surely realized by now that
the world never ceases to amaze. Whether it's people, animals, or natural elements,
there's always something fresh and fantastic to learn and maybe gain from.
And we've just chosen twelve utterly weird and wonderful facts that will blow your mind.
1-Who doesn’t enjoy slices of bread filled for whatever your heart desires? Sliced bread was
invented in 1928 by Otto Frederick Rohwedder. Chillicothe Baking Company debuted Kleen Maid
Sliced Bread on July 7, 1928, which was met with mild success. When sliced Wonder bread
was introduced a couple of years later, sliced bread became a kitchen staple. The creation of
sliced bread has far-reaching consequences for more than simply the bread industry.
It significantly impacted bread consumption (sandwiches were suddenly much easier to make at
home), increasing peanut butter and jelly sales, cream cheese, butter, Jam, and other spreads.
2- The heart of the world's biggest mammal, the blue whale, is five feet (1.5 meters) long
and weighs 400 pounds (181 kg). If you have ever seen one in person,
you're one of the luckiest few to see the largest animal on earth with the biggest hart.
3- Speaking of the heart, did you know that it is the hardest working muscle in your body?
In its 70-year life, it pumps more than 2,000 liters of blood each day and beats more than
2.5 billion times. And if you make a fist, that would be approximately the size of your heart.
4- A sandwich is a meal that often consists of veggies, sliced cheese, or meat put on or between
pieces of bread, or more broadly, any dish in which bread acts as a container or wrapper for
another sort of food. The sandwich is named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich,
an English aristocrat from the seventeenth century. He is believed to have asked his servant
to bring him steak sandwiched between two slices of bread. Lord Sandwich is believed to have liked
this type of meal because it allowed him to keep playing cards, particularly cribbage while eating
without needing a fork and without making his cards greasy by eating meat with his bare hands.
5- Experiments in colleges have been conducted to determine how many licks
it takes to get to the core of a Tootsie Pop, using both machine and human lickers,
either because it would scientifically alter the world or because they were just curious to know.
In any case, the outcomes varied from 252 to 411. 6- The following is a fun experiment you can try
right now! Just try to hum while holding your nose and your mouth closed. It’s
actually impossible isn’t it. Ok moving on! 7- Did you know that bats are the only animals
that can fly? Flying squirrels and possums, despite their deceiving titles, do not count
since they glide rather than flap their wings to take off from the ground as bats do.
8- Everyone understands that being a freelancer implies pursuing a profession without committing
to a single employer for an extended period. People who freelance are often self-employed.
The term "freelance" was first used in English in the early 1800s, referring to a medieval mercenary
who would fight for whichever nation or person offered the most pay. literally, "free lancers."
9- Richard Montanez created Flamin' Hot Cheetos, a janitor working at a Frito-Lay
facility in California in the late 1980s who got the idea after sprinkling chili powder
on some rejected Cheetos pitching it to the CEO. He went on to become a successful CEO
and motivational speaker. What else can I say? He worked his way up the ranks.
10- The word "sinister" derives from a historical prejudice towards left-handed individuals,
and it comes from the Latin word for "left," which was likewise considered
unfortunate or wicked. Thank goodness these biases don't exist anymore.
Right? Ok take it easy 11- Japan is likely to be
at the top of the list when it comes to the country with the most earthquakes. Because
it is located in a seismically active location, Japan has the most reported earthquakes. However,
according to the US Geological Survey, Indonesia has more earthquakes per square mile than Japan.
Even yet, some mild quakes are unrecorded due to a lack of recording equipment in these locations.
12- A typical lightning flash has a voltage of 300 million volts and a current of 30,000 amps.
The average residential current is 120 volts and 15 amps. An average lightning strike has enough
energy to power a 100-watt incandescent bulb for around three months or the equivalent compact
fluorescent bulb for nearly a year. If only we could harness that energy, we'd be set for life.
