Wise World of Wellen presented by Salem Eye Clinic
1. In 1987, the IRS started making people list their kids’ Social Security numbers on their tax forms when they counted them as dependents, to cut down on fraud. And suddenly, seven million children who were claimed the year before disappeared.
2. In China, Spain, and Greece, people mix wine with Coca-Cola.
3. Back in 1975, the Washington Redskins tried to get Andre the Giant to tryout to be a defensive lineman . . . but he turned them down.
4. The fax machine was invented about 30 years before the telephone.
5. Every single Snickers bar, except the tiny Halloween-sized ones, are made in Waco, Texas. The same plant produces all the Starburst in North America.
