Have you ever asked your mom or dad a question like "Who made the first marshmallow?" or "Who invented the can can?"
Well, I had a few questions like that and I decided to find the answers and I would like to show you my results........
1.Who made marshmallows?(I am hungry!)
It turns out that marshmallows were made in ancient Egypt, made from the sap of a Marsh-Mallow plant.
Marsh-Mallow plants were harvested near large bodies of water and then the juice was extracted, cooked with egg whites and sugar, then whipped into foamy meringue that hardened, creating a medicinal candy for children's soar throats. Later on they excluded the sticky gooey juice all together which is now a Marshmallow but unfortunately stopped it's use to cure people.
2. Who opened the first McDonald's?
The first McDonald's was a barbecue restaurant and was built in 1940 by Richard and Maurice McDonald.
Later, they reorganised their business as a hamburger stand using production line principles. Then Ray Kroc joined them as a franchise agent in 1955. He purchased the McDonald's chain from Richard and Maurice and spread it worldwide.
3. Who invented the skateboard?
There are many people who were involved in inventing the skateboard. The idea mainly came from surfers who didn't just want to surf on the sea but also wanted to "surf" on land. That's when the skateboard came in. Of course, the body of the skateboard has a more specific history. The shape of the skateboard was of course almost the same shape of a surfboard just smaller and shorter. Then of course there were wheels attached at the bottom. It became very popular when people realised the fun of riding a skateboard and lots of companies opened to sell skateboards.
4. Who created the first virus?
Bob Thomas created the first virus but surprisingly not on purpose. He was associated with BBN and tried to create a way for a program to replica itself on other computers.He didn't intend to create a virus But because he did not have the program check to see if it was already installed on a PC before (again) installing itself, the program when out of control and took down their entire computer network. It is referred to as the Creeper virus.......scary!
5. Who invented jelly beans?
Well....no one can say for sure who invented jelly beans. They come in all shapes and sizes and became very popular in the 20th century when president Ronald Reagan declared them his favourite treat.
Though no one can say for sure, the earliest known reference to jelly beans is from William Schraft in 1861.
Well, I guess that's enough for now!
I hope you enjoyed my blog.
