Strange facts...

I like odd pieces of knowledge. Why... maybe because I'm odd. Yes I know it! Actually I'm a one of a kind. :)

Anyway:

Archaeologists excavated a fully equipped soap factory in the ruins of Pompeii, the Roman resort town destroyed by a volcano in 79 B.C.

In 1996, the average American spent $360.00 in Wal-Mart. That's more than the average person in Mozambique earns in three years.

In October of 1983, when Anheuser-Busch brought a Cleveland florist to court for using the Budweiser slogan "This Bud's for you" Federal Judge Ann Aldrich ruled in favor of the florist, claiming that it would be absurd for anyone to confuse flowers with beer.

The United States produces more than one billion gallons of ice cream, ice milk, sherbet, and water ice every year.

Armed robbers hit 7-Eleven stores more often than any other chain in the United States.

Derry Church, Pennsylvania, the home of Hershey's Foods, was renamed Hershey in 1906.
