Wise World of Wellen presented by Salem Eye Clinic
1. Coffee loses 70% of its flavor within two minutes of being brewed.
2. Candy canes were invented in 1670 in Germany to help keep kids quiet in church . . . the tops are curved so they look like a shepherd’s staff.
3. The reason a whip cracks is because its tip is moving fast enough to break the sound barrier and cause a small sonic boom.
4. Honey Nut Cheerios doesn’t contain any nuts . . . they use a fake almond flavor that mostly comes from processed peach pits.
5. The “jay” in “jaywalking” is a 1920s slang term for idiot. So jaywalking means idiot walking.
