Wise World of Wellen presented by Salem Eye Clinic

1. The chocolate river in the movie “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” was made out of actual chocolate. It spoiled during filming and smelled awful by the time the movie wrapped.

2. Instant coffee was invented by a guy named . . . George Washington. He came to America from Belgium in the late 1800s and started manufacturing instant coffee in 1910.

3. Salvador Dali once conned Yoko Ono into paying $10,000 for a blade of grass. Yoko had offered to pay that amount for one of his mustache hairs. But he secretly substituted the blade of grass because he thought that Yoko Ono was a witch.

4. The height of the Eiffel Tower can vary up to six inches, depending on the temperature.

5. While listening to music, your heart can sync to the rhythm.
