fact of the day

i really don't know how i learned anything before i had access to the internet.

today i found this fascinating nugget of info about everyone's favorite self-dispensing candy, PEZ. enjoy.


Pez candy was invented
by Austrian candy executive Eduard Haas in 1927. The original little candy bricks were peppermint. In fact, the word Pez is an abbreviation of the German word for peppermint.(PfeffErminZ)

That dude is the second coolest person to have been born in Austria.

I am the coolest, in caseyou were wondering, according to a ZagNutz poll of all the contributors to my blog. The set of data equals one, but it is unanimous.

The implications on a partisan split in this poll would have been astounding.
