1. Goldfish were originally green or gray, and orange ones had rare mutations. But those were more popular in China, so they bred the orange goldfish together.
2. A few years before Samuel Morse invented Morse Code, he ran for mayor of New York using the campaign slogan “No Immigrants. No Catholics.” He lost the election.
3. Initially, John Belushi made LESS money for “Animal House” than the HORSE in the movie. John got $35,000, and the horse got $40K. John did get a bonus after the movie became a hit, but it’s unclear how much that was.
4. Quaker Oats was founded by, and still owned by the ancestors of actual Quakers.

#5!
Quaker Oats wasn’t founded by Quakers and has never been involved with them in any way. They got the name because the company started in the late-1800s, and at the time, Quaker businessmen were known for their honesty.
