Before you toss your banana peel, did you know the enzymes in it can work wonders? From helping to draw out a splinter to buffing out scratched DVDs, the banana peel is not trash; it’s a treasure.

The golden sponge cakes known as Twinkies that are generously filled with fluffy white cream were invented in 1930 by Jimmy Dewar. Originally sold two for a nickel, Twinkies were named after a “Twinkle Toe Shoes” billboard that the bakery manager saw on his way to show off his idea.

M&M’s may be an all-American classic today, but these candy-coated chocolate buttons were inspired by another confection, Smarties. These British candies similarly have a chocolate interior and hard candy exterior. M&M’s were a big hit early on, especially with the U.S. armed forces — the military was M&M’s first big customer. The “melt in your mouth, not in your hand” tagline appealed to soldiers in tropical climates.

Oregon is the latest state to make it legal to eat roadkill. As of January 1, 2019, drivers salvaging deer and elk struck by a vehicle can legally take the carcass home and eat it at their own risk; however, there are some rules that go along with this, including turning in the head and antlers. Other states that allow drivers to eat roadkill include Colorado, Georgia, New Hampshire, New York and Pennsylvania .

Built in 1904 by renowned architects Heins & LaFarge, City Hall was the very first subway station that opened to the public in New York City. Services were discontinued in 1945 as passengers found the nearby Brooklyn Bridge station, which had access to both express and local tracks, more convenient. The city's “lost” station is an incredible space that remains remarkably well preserved.

There is a 2+2 sitting on a lot up the street from here. I need to go look it over. Just past that is a bunch of mopars rotting away. I have some pictures I need to post

I've used aluminum foil and water (which works great) but never used it with Coke (sounds like it would be sticky).

I believe this car was owned by Mike Ardito at one time, don't know if he still owns it or not. He took a hood scoop from a GTO and molded it into the hood of this 1965 Pontiac 2+2 and it literally looks like it came from the factory that way...I've seen the car quite a few times, very cool car. Mike is no longer in the restoration business, he now currently works for Mecum auctions.

Fred Piluso from Concord, Ohio built and owns the car. As you can see the hood scoop really isn't "molded In" as you describe:

Salt was so valuable in ancient Rome that soldiers were sometimes paid with it. In fact, the word 'salary' comes from the Latin word sal, for salt. When a soldier was doing a lousy job, his paycheck might be cut, which is how we got the expression 'not worth his salt.'

Amethyst Bamboo 9x salt, which rings up at $398 a pound, may be the most expensive in the world. This pricey stuff takes a lot of time to produce—it’s roasted nine times inside a bamboo pole at temperatures exceeding 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Sea salt may sound healthier than table salt, but most sea salts contain roughly the same proportion of sodium—about 40 percent—as table salt.

The No. 1 use of salt in the United States isn’t on food at all. In 2016, about 44 percent of salt went toward de-icing roads, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Only 3 percent was used in agricultural and food processing.

On to Toronto pronto Tonto!

My mistake then Lee...not the same car. Ardito's was actually fabricated in and really looked like it came that way. Hard to believe that 2 different guys had the same idea on the same car and the same color.

BTW Lee....I forgot to mention yesterday that this is absolutely my favorite thread on this site. The info you've posted in here is both informative, and very interesting, and keeps me logging in several times a day just to see if you've added anything new. Thanks for all the great info you post....keep up the good work bud!!!

Thank you very much for the kind words Zee. Please do check the thread a few times a day. I do try to make updates throughout the day.
