Greybeard Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 3 hours ago, Canadian Bills Fan said: TIL Wrigley’s was originally a soap company that gifted baking powder with their soap. The baking powder became more popular than the soap so they switched to selling baking powder with chewing gum as a gift. The gum became more popular than the baking powder so the company switched to selling gum. Well that's "cool." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Popinski Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I learned that Ram 1500's built around or after 2012 do not use gaskets to seal their rear differential covers. It's just some orange goop that ends up leaking after you paid 2 grand to have the axle swapped out. And it's gonna cost another couple hundred to fix.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) On 10/6/2018 at 2:20 PM, Keukasmallies said: Damn, I hope that's not true. When my son graduated from high school, his baseball coach (and personal friend of mine) gave me a bottle of whiskey; it remains unopened to this day. Son is now fifty-eight, the coach passed away a number of years ago, etc.; the bottle remains unopened.... It doesn't go old. It'll still be good 200 years from now. But it won't be anymore "aged" than when you bought it. My aunt has a bottle of champagne from when we won the AFCE back in 1988. She's been saving it till we win the Super Bowl. It'll be vinegar by then, but I'll be so happy I won't care. Edited November 16, 2018 by The Real Buffalo Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
