Weekend Wisdom

An additional perk of my Saturday/Sunday bagel shop excursions includes getting a diet Snapple to wash it all down.  Add to that the little bits of information Snapple places under each lid, “Real Fact” as they call it, and you have one very satisfied customer.  I enjoy it so much that I now leave the bottle water at home, opting for the Snapple instead.  The drink itself is alright for being “made from the best stuff on Earth”, but I buy it to see which new fact is waiting for me under the lid.

Sharing is caring, so I’ll forward some “Real Fact”(s) over to you:

“Real Fact” #878 – Only male fireflies can fly.

“Real Fact” #911 – A cubic mile of fog is made up of less than a gallon of water.

“Real Fact” #688 -Flying fish can leap out of the water at 20 mph or more, and can glide for over 500 feet.

I had a few other caps, but somehow misplaced them in the middle of a hurricane, i.e. my room.  They’ll be added to the list at later date.

Update:  Found them.

“Real Fact” #869 – Theodore Roosevelt had a pet bear while in office.

“Real Fact” #710 – A tankless water heater uses half the energy of a standard model.

“Real Fact” #751 – Flamingos can only eat with their heads upside down.

“Real Fact” #926 – George Washington was the only unanimously elected President.

“Real Fact” #857 – Louisiana is home to over 80% of the world’s crayfish.

“Real Fact” #770 – Pistol shrimp can make a noise loud enough to break glass.

“Real Fact” #750 – The common garden worm has five pairs of hearts.
