Press Your Luck was a mid-1980s game show that was part quiz show and part “luck.” Contestants played against an illuminated game board that lit up prizes in different patterns, and they could stop it at any time to win the cash or prizes it landed on. Sounds fun!
Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable? In 1893, a ruling by the Supreme Court made the tomato a vegetable, officially! It is, however, actually a fruit. It seems as though the age-old debate will continue on for generations!
“Great” is not an over-exaggerated appellation for the Great Lakes. The largest of the Great Lakes happens to also be the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area! In fact, if you would add up all the water in the other Great Lakes, it would total the volume of the greatest of the Great Lakes! Isn't that...great?!
