Here are Big Dave’s 5 Nuggets of Knowledge for your Noggin’ – on this Tuesday, July 25th, 2023. Let’s learn something together:
- Birds don’t live in nests. Nests are just where they keep their eggs. Birds sleep perched on “roosting spots” in trees.
- Space Mountain cost $20 million to build at Disneyland in 1977, but Disneyland itself only cost $17 million to build in 1955. The Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge area at Disneyland that opened in 2019 cost an estimated $1 BILLION.
- Rochester, New York was nicknamed the “Flour City” in the 1800s . . . as in F-L-O-U-R. And also the “Flower City” . . . as in F-L-O-W-E-R . . . because it had a mill industry, and because of its flower seed trading industry.
- The first variation of Cheerios was Cinnamon Nut Cheerios in 1976. They didn’t really take off, but Honey Nut Cheerios did when they came out three years later.
- Aaron Burr raised $2 million in 1799 to start a company to provide clean water to New York City. But he used almost all of the money to start a bank instead. A cholera epidemic broke out because the water in the city was filled with raw sewage, but his bank eventually became JP Morgan Chase.
