Canola oil was originally called rapeseed oil, but rechristened by the Canadian oil industry in 1978 to avoid negative connotations. "Canola" is short for "Canadian oil."

The Price is Right premiered in 1956 and ran for almost ten years, taking a brief hiatus before coming back in 1972 . All together, there’s been a grand total of over 11,000 episodes, making it the longest-running game show in history, beating out Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy.

Before cable TV gave us dozens of networks, there were just three—ABC, CBS, and NBC. The Price Is Right has been on all of them, beginning with NBC in 1956, before moving to ABC in 1963, and finally arriving at CBS, where the show has called home since 1972.

Lay's potato chips are incredibly popular and make up over a fourth of the US's potato chip market.

The popular chip was first sold in 1932 and in 1965 the brand added their popular barbeque flavor.

After acquiring a potato chip company in 1932, founder Herman W. Lay first sold his chips in Nashville, Tennessee. Later, he would go on to drive across the Southern US, selling the snack out of the back of his Model A.

Every year, Lay's holds a contest to find the next great chip flavor, offering a $1 million prize to whoever submits the best new recipe. In previous years, the contest brought the world flavors like Wasabi Ginger, Cheesy Garlic Bread, and Southern Biscuits and Gravy.
