TIL that the old wives tale of getting sick from being wet out in the cold might not really be an old wives tale after all. Sure not feeling too well today after helping tear down the stuff from my sister and B-I-L's wedding reception yesterday morning in the rain at like 48 degrees. Reception was awesome, so when they asked for my help I was happy to.

3 Musketeers bars used to come in 3 sections with strawberry and vanilla in addition to the chocolate.

The original 3 Musketeers candy bar was much different than it is today

Q: Yesterday, I bought some 3 Musketeers candy bars, which prompted me to tell a friend that I thought I remembered in the olden days when I was young that 3 Musketeers came in three different flavors in one bar. Do you remember that? I sure hope I’m right, but a lot of times I’m not.

TIL that Betty White is literally older than sliced bread.

Someone should sell loaves of unsliced bread called 'Betty White'!
I can see the grocery shelves stocked with Betty White White & Betty White Wheat .
