Since we’re on the topic of fascinating facts, did you know that McDonald’s once created bubblegum-flavored broccoli? Let that sink in for a few moments. 

This was back in 2014 when health advocates compelled the fast-food giant to enhance the nutritional quality of its menu items. The idea was to introduce healthy eating to children through this innovative Happy Meal addition. 

However, during focus group discussions, the idea was a flop, and the company was urged to scrap it altogether.

We know the Olympics as a prestigious event where athletes from around the world showcase their skills while representing their respective nations. But from 1912 to 1948, art competitions were part of the events. 

People vied for the same bronze, silver, and gold medals across five categories: literature, architecture, painting, music, and sculpture. An international jury determined the winners.

The late Neil Armstrong became a household name for being the first human being to set foot on the moon. But in 2004, he was in the news headlines after barbershop owner Marx Sizemore collected his hair clippings and sold them for a whopping $3,000 to collector John Reznikoff.

Armstrong threatened to sue Sizemore, who refused to give in. Reznikoff, however, donated an additional $3,000 to charity.

Since 2011, the pope has been ineligible to donate his organs. According to Vatican officials, the pope’s body “belongs to the entire church” and must remain intact when buried. Others argue that the recipient may risk becoming an object of veneration, especially when the pope who passed on becomes a saint. 

Until 1903, the Vatican in Rome removed the organs of a pope who had recently passed on and turned them into relics for the church.

This is pretty clever as we know what Amazon they are reffering to but by formulating it as a negation, I bet Amazon company can't do anything against it. Because if they're like "Hey we're suing you" they could just go "Why do you assume we mean your company".

I get so fed up with people just blindly hating on Amazon. Yes, there's a need for better work conditions but at the same time? What about people who are housebound? Disabled? Not everyone can "just go to the shops". It IS a global company so a successful boycott would put hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people out of work, they'd lose their jobs. Braaavo... Well done.

Over 10 surgerys, sepsis twice, a collapsed lung, resuscitated 3 times and much more - yet here he is still smiling and laughing.
He has much more treatment to go, but his strength and resilience is amazing to witness.

The World’s Largest Ancient Mosaic Has Been Discovered In Turkey

The 9,000 square foot mosaic will open this year. It was discovered nine years ago during the construction of a new hotel in Antakya, Turkey.
Archaeologists believe that the mosaic once decorated the floor of a public building in the ancient city of Antioch, one of the most important cities of the Seleucid Empire.
Archaeologists collaborated with architects to preserve this ancient artifact during the construction of the hotel now part-time and museum.
The platform connected to the columns now hovers over the mosaic, and visitors will be able to see this masterpiece from above from special viewpoints.

Me Before And After Losing Weight

I stopped sharing my life, progress, story back in 2020/2021. Just felt right at the time. Do What Best For You is what I would tell people. I started my WLS at 500lbs, in 2014. I lost 360 pounds in 20 months. Had a few surgeries. Here and there. Enjoyed my ride. I’m growing old from past life choices I once didn’t understand, my future I get to see, at a time it was so dark. I hope someone out there who thinks there in a bad spot sees my progress and it’s helps inspire them, even briefly. Do What’s Best For You.
