Wise World of Wellen presented by Salem Eye Clinic

1. Coca-Cola’s Dr. Pepper clone has had four name changes since it was introduced: It started as Peppo in 1972, became Dr. Pibb later that year, changed to Mr. Pibb in 1973 after Dr. Pepper sued, and then became Pibb Xtra in 2001.

2. An octopus doesn’t have eight arms . . . it has six arms and two legs. Two of its tentacles work like legs and help it move while the six arms grab food.

3. The United States is one of the few countries that drinks milk cold. Most other countries use a different method of pasteurization that keeps milk good even when it’s not refrigerated, and they like drinking it at room temperature.

4. Harry S. Truman, Michael J. Fox, and Ulysses S. Grant all have middle initials that don’t stand for anything.

5. There’s one volcano in the world that doesn’t have red or orange lava. The lava from the Kawah Ijen volcano in Indonesia is BRIGHT BLUE.
