Vernor's Ginger Ale is generally accepted as the oldest American soda pop brand still in existence. It got its start just after the Civil War when Detroit’s James Vernor—a pharmacist, of course—discovered that a ginger-ale syrup he'd left to age in an oak cask ended up with a distinct flavor thanks to the wood. The company legend is that the syrup had aged from 1862, when Vernor left Detroit to fight in the Civil War, until 1865, when he returned. Vernor originally sold the soda pop in his drugstore, but by 1896, the drink was so popular that he was able to close the drugstore and focus purely on selling the soda.

The BEST ginger ale!!!!

Known as "the Door to Hell," Darvaza gas crater in Turkmenistan looks like something out of a movie. While engineers were drilling for oil at the site, a natural gas pocket collapsed creating a sinkhole. To stop the spread of methane gas, Soviet scientists opted to set it on fire, perhaps unaware of how much fuel it contained. The crater has been burning since 1971, close to 50 years.

You need to get a picture of the glass company next to the Louisville Slugger building with the baseball stuck in the broken glass.

The fast-food giant originally went by another name for a limited time: Insta-Burger King. The “Insta” was a reference to the special grill machine used to cook the burgers called the Insta-Broiler. Cornell University classmates James McLamore and David Edgerton bought the original chain from Keith Kramer and Matthew Burns in 1961. The new owners eventually started using a gas grill they called a “flame broiler,” instead of the Insta-Broiler, and took the Insta out of the company name.
