The first thing ever bought by scanning a UPC code was a pack of gum in Ohio. It was Wrigley's Juicy Fruit. It's now on display at the Smithsonian.

The word "orange" comes from the fruit, not the color.

By far the most $100 bills are printed for the Second District. (The have a "B' on them) Thought the New York Federal Reserve orders them- more of them are sent outside of the country than used in the country.

North Korea's counterfit $100 bills look better than ours hence they're called super bills.

Took me a while to suss this out. I had heard something similar before and it sounded not true.

Between the two plants of the US BEP one in Washington and one in Fort Worth, Texas... best guess is somewhere between 275 and 300 billion dollars in face value. Monopoly claims $50billion a year in face value.

Number of pieces of paper is far greater than monopoly as most are ones to replace worn out one dollar bills. face value is greater...

so fact not actually true, but fun to think about it being close to true.

Fun facts; monopoly games come with $15,140 each... apparently Parker Bros make 3.2 million games a year.

In the fifties, the FCC, following the Hays Code, didn't allow TV actors portraying married couples to be seen sharing the same bed. Separate twin beds were used i.e. I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, etc.

According to general consensus among TV broadcasters, the first married couple shown on TV sleeping in the same bed wasn't a real couple. That is, they weren't flesh and blood.

The first couple to break the Hays Code's iron grip? Hanna-Barbera's Fred and Wilma Flintstone.

The first living TV couple was Darrin and Samantha Stevens of 'Bewitched'.

NASA had to rename the sizes of the early condom like apparatus used for male astronauts to pee in from small, medium and large to large, gigantic and humongous because no one was willing to pick their true size.
