In the original Cinderella story, the glass slippers did not exist. Instead, her shoes were made out of fur, but the story was changed in the 1600’s and included the new and now-famous glass slippers.

The inventor of the modern bikini, Louis Réard, named his creation after the Bikini Atoll — where the U.S. did tons of its nuclear testing — because he hoped it would make as big of a bang as the atomic bomb. Réard declared it wasn't a real bikini unless the fabric from it could be "pulled through a wedding ring."

After its modern debut, the bikini was banned in Belgium, Italy, Spain, and Australia, and it was declared a sin by the Vatican.

The most popular cookie in America is the chocolate chip cookie, which is attributed to Ruth Wakefield circa 1933.

I just made a batch of those bad boys.

My wife asked what I was doing and when I told her she said "Me and Cam(our daughter) are making cookies Thursday.".

What a bone head. I told her this batch will be gone by Monday night so they can make more Thursday.
