It was made by 2 North Dakota dads at the request of their wives. It took just a couple of years for the idea to take off, marketing the product to scools. It was then sold to Smuckers in 2003. So the pitch probably went something like, "you two are inventors, can't you make this easy sandwich.... easier?"

My guy, you don't have to go so hard. All I was trying to say is if you listen to their music you'll find that their whole shtick and major inspiration is kung fu movies. Many of the samples in their songs are from old kung fu movies.

That's the fun part! Factoid kind of became a factoid (I know there's an actual etymological term for this but I can't remember it) I believe its original definition was an assumption thats circulated enough its assumed as fact. ie many "wives tales" But now the definition you gave has been assumed so much it has become fact! See? Fun!

This is the first time I've seen the word factoid used for its actual original definition... but why you put it in quotes?

Harry Styles in don't worry darling. Totally wrong guy for the role. Should have been Evan Peters.

Are we sure thats not the commonly used silk tea bag? Why do we think this is plastic?

I have to disagree. While I really like the pants, their design, the fit and gussets, but they're not even as durable as carhartts. I bought a pair of the original fire hose mostly because of the warranty (get a hole in the fire hose pants they'll replace) Well I got a hole in the first couple months sliding between 2 walls. Small hole figured I'd just wear them out. A year later I buy another pair and a couple other styles. The next year the first pair are trashed worn through both double knees. They no longer honor their warranty... The other pants lasted one more year. The flex fire hose, the waist band and belt loops just separated from the pants on both sides pulling them up one day. I thought the price was worth it with the warranty, too bad thats not a thing any more.
