The start of a new week, a cold and wet start at that being Monday it is fact day, so here we go.
Wilma Flintstone's maiden name was Slaghoopal, and Betty Rubble's was Betty Jean McBricker

In 1990 the Mars chocolate company decided to change the Marathon bar's name to “Snickers”, the company didn't want to lose the bar's British Fans, so for 18 months the wrapper was made with both names. When Marathon was dropped from the name the bar went from No9 to No3 on the UK”s best selling chocolate bar list. Kit Kat was No1
The melting point of cocoa butter is just below the human body temperature, which is why chocolate literally melts in your mouth.
John Rolfe named Pocahontas the Native American princess in 1613
Okay... the number fact is freaky (I assume it's correct, I do not have the brain power right now to check.) :)
ReplyDeleteAnd that's interesting that I don't remember the name change in 1990. I have always though Snickers just existed longer than I have, and I have no recollection of Marathon bars at all.
Those numbers are amazing but then numbers and combinations are.
ReplyDeletelove Kit Kats.
Dearest Jo-Anne,
ReplyDeleteMarathon bars I've never known, in The Netherlands we always had Snickers and also here in the USA.
In the 70s I used to need 3 big Mars bars while driving home, got very shaky after work and needed something quick. Then eating a 3-course dinner! Now I can't have sweets anymore... and I've never ever gained a single pound. I'm burning a lot of energy, sometimes too much/too fast.
Hugs,
Mariette
Oh, I'm a lifelong chocoholic; dark chocolate only!
ReplyDeleteWilma Flintstone's maiden name was Slaghoopal, and Betty Rubble's was Betty Jean McBricker - how did you know that!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI did know the number thing, but, like Juli, the Snickers thing is news to me. Oh, our shabby memories...
ReplyDeleteNow I wonder why I never wondered what Wilma's and Betty's maiden names were. If I had to guess, I would have doubted they were ever given maiden names on the show.
