Wise World of Wellen presented by Salem Eye Clinic

  1. All octopuses are orphans. Male octopuses die right after they mate, and female octopuses die right after their eggs hatch.
  2. Pepperoni is an American food. In Italian, “peperoni” with one “P” is the word for bell peppers and there’s no salami named “pepperoni” with two “P’s” used as a pizza topping.
  3. Chipotle uses 97,000 pounds of avocados per day.
  4. A DNA analysis of apples found they all originated in the mountains in Kazakhstan.
  5. You could last about 15 seconds in space without a space suit and helmet before you’d go unconscious . . . but you could stay alive for up to three minutes.

Bonus fact! When you visit the Salem Eye Clinic, you’re supporting a small locally owned business, that’s been a part of the community since 1979!
