Um, Phyllis has a daughter named Suzanne. That's as close as they come to
being related. And I'd agree that there are a number of those "facts" that
likely ain't, if you research them......like the "negative calorie" concept.
Scientifically (unfortunately), there are no foods that burn more calories
in the eating than they contain.

(A loving God, had he designed a universe that included foods that burn more
calories to eat than they contain, would have made that apply to chocolate.
Since it doesn't, we can extrapolate that *no* food works in this fashion.

Or, we can just listen to the scientists. But the above is more fun. :)

I know a good number of the list entries to be true (so far as anyone
can know such a t hing) and others I know nothing of, but I did a
paper about soda pop during my college years and know this fact to be
true:

A common urban legend about Charles Leiper Grigg is that he was an
albino, and that the red dot on the bottle is supposed to represent
his red eyes. In fact there are no official references to Grigg having
been an albino, and in (black-and-white) photographs his eyes appear
normally pigmented. Also, the 7-up logo with the red dot came into use
in the 1970s, after Grigg had died.[3]

Cheers and thanks for a good chuckle list,
Sunny
