The Jacuzzi family emigrated from Italy to California in the early 1900s. They worked in the agriculture sector, improving aviation devices and water pumps. They invented the submersible pump, which was the first of its kind in the world. When a family member developed arthritis, the brothers created a portable hydrotherapy pump, which was the first type of Jacuzzi.

Nachos are such a popular snack that the word is not even spelled with a capital N, even though it's the name, or rather the nickname rather, of a person. Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya served what was later called nachos for the very first time to American military wives at a restaurant in Mexico, close to Fort Duncan in 1943.

New law lets locals earn money by tattling on idling commercial vehicles, locals get to keep 25% of the fine when they report an idling truck or bus.

The fine for violating New York City idling laws can range anywhere from $300 to $2000

According to the official website of the city of New York, “You can report an idling vehicle, other than an authorized emergency vehicle, that is parked with its engine running for more than three minutes, or parked next to a school with its engine running more than one minute.”
