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.

Mythbusters tried using Coca-Cola as a chrome cleaner and found when used with aluminum foil it did a better job than the leading chrome cleaner.

Anyone ever try this?

No, but I can confirm that chrome cleaner tastes terrible, especially with aluminum foil.

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