Nerd News:

The first 'known' dance marathon winner was Alma Cummings, who danced for 27 hours without stopping. A few months later her record was shattered by 69 hours of dancing by Vera Sheppard. The American Society of Teachers of Dancing had a petition against them because it was "dangerous and a disgrace to the art of dancing."

The Coca-Cola '6 pack' was introduced. The famed curved bottle was made beginning in 1916. That specific curve is actually copyrighted, so noone else can use it. Cocaine was never an actual ingredient of the product, in spite of what other people may believe.
The Coca-Cola logo is written in Spenserian font.

John Hertz, the owner of the Yellow Cab Company, bought Walter Jacob's Chicago-based car rental company, and renamed it after himself. The yellow/black Hertz logo is a carry-on from the Yellow Cab Company.

Yankee Stadium - 'The House That (Babe) Ruth Built' was opened.

Pop-Culture.us is part of the Pop Culture Madness Trivia and Entertainment Network. We ask, and attempt to answer questions, both trivial and mind-boggling.
We strive to be correct wuth the details and invite you to add to our answers, especially if you are pretty sure we made an error.

By the way, the PCM Entertainment and Trivia Network does NOT allow frequent Pop up ads, Pop under ads, or sneaky spyware. Nor do we link to sites that have excessive Pop-ups, spyware or inappropriate (all ages) material. If you find one, please let us know and they are toast!

Also, since we don't "sell out" to those Pop-up advertisers, and we're too proud (so far) to ask for donations, we'd like to proudly point out some of our carefully chosen advertisers throughout the site. They have some cool stuff that should be sitting in your room, or wrapped like a present for a friend.
Please check 'em out!
