Is bottled water worth it? 'Evian' spelled backwards is 'naive'.

Cap'n Crunch is not, in fact, a captain. The three stripes on his uniform clearly reveal him to be a Navy commander, not a captain (a captain has 4 stripes).

There are trees that can grow more than one kind of fruit, and they're called fruit salad trees.

In the USA, there are more Chinese restaurants than all the McDonald’s, KFCs, Burger Kings and Wendy’s put together.

NYC's Central Park's lampposts contain a set of four numbers that can help you navigate. The first two tell you the nearest street, and the next two tell you whether you're closer to the east or west side of the park (even numbers signal east, odd signals west).

Portland was named by a coin flip. Had the coin landed the other way, the city would be Boston, Oregon.

Peter Durand patented the tin can in 1810. Ezra Warner patented a can opener in 1858. In between, people used chisels and hammers.
