Here are Big Dave’s 5 Nuggets of Knowledge for your Noggin’ on this Tuesday – November 8th, 2022. Let’s learn something together:
- Chubby Checker was born Ernest Evans and he got his stage name from Dick Clark’s wife as a play on the name Fats Domino.
- “I Love Lucy” was originally sponsored by Philip Morris, so the opening credits for the first season featured cartoon versions of Lucy and Ricky climbing on a giant pack of cigarettes.
- The Major League Baseball record for the most home runs by two brothers is held by Hank Aaron and Tommie Aaron. They have 768 combined – 755 from Hank, 13 from Tommie.
- The idea of casual Friday started in Hawaii in the 1960s, where people would wear Hawaiian shirts on Fridays. Eventually it migrated to the rest of the country.
- Nike was originally called Blue Ribbon Sports in 1964, and they didn’t make shoes, they just were a distributor for Asics.
