When Walt and his brother and business partner Roy pitched a Disney anthology TV series, CBS and NBC turned them down flat. But ABC went for the idea, and the series premiered on a Wednesday night in October 1954. It later moved to Sunday and aired for decades under various names, such as "Walt Disney Presents" and "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color." Money brought in by the show in its first season helped to fund the opening of Disneyland in 1955.

The Häagen-Dazs ice cream creator was American and made up the brand name to sound Danish, unique, and sophisticated. It doesn't mean anything.

Contrary to popular belief, London Broil is not a cut of beef but rather a method of cooking.

If you shake a can of mixed nuts, the larger ones will rise to the top.
