Random Things No One Needs to Know - 12/29/21


“Maybe one days these random facts will be useful to you…”


1. You have a 1 in 1,461 chance of being born on leap day.


2. Squirrels cause most power outages in the U.S.


3. Costco sells enough toilet paper per year to wrap around the world 1,200 times.


4. The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.


5. The Four Corners is the only spot in the US where you can stand in four states at once: Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.

6. It’s impossible to hum while holding your nose (just try it!).


7. The longest fingernails ever were over 28 feet in total. American Lee Redmond started growing them in 1979 and set the record in 2008. She lost her nails in a car crash in 2009.


8. Flamin’ Hot Cheetos were developed by a janitor at Frito-Lay, Richard Montanez, who got the idea after putting chili powder on some reject Cheetos and then pitched it to the CEO. He’s now a successful executive and motivational speaker, and a movie is in the works about his life.


9. It takes 570 gallons to paint the exterior of the White House.


10. Each year 16 million thunderstorms happen around the world, and at any given moment, there are about 2,000 thunderstorms in progress.
