Odd factoids

KFC always tastes good but I always regret eating it. It's coated in a secret blend of eleven herbs and spices, and a shedload of crystal meth IMHO.

Mackeson, one of the best stout beers ever made. FACT. (providing it's from a bottle)

KFC, trying to replicate the success of "drive-thru" restaurants, and trying to project a new positive health image, have opened a new "waddle-thru".

"Kurisumasu ni wa kentakkii!"—which roughly translates into "Kentucky for Christmas!"—was an incredibly successful marketing campaign that ran in Japan in 1974. Ever since, droves of Japanese people place orders for the Christmas chicken dinner, which includes bougie accoutrements such as cake and champagne.

While sales of KFC might peak on Christmas Eve, the nation is obsessed with fried chicken year round.

Dick Van Dyke is older than sliced bread.
The first (commercially sold) sliced bread was 1928 while Van Dyke was born 1925.
He was also the first chimney sweep to ever be filmed.

Dick Van Dyke looks exactly the same as he did in 1964. Proof that he's found a cure for ageing.

That or Mary Poppins worked her magic on him.

Dick Van Duke has been scientifically proven to have the worst fake cockney accent recorded on film.

When the original Mary Poppins was being cast, the lead male role was written with John “The Duke” Wayne in mind. However, the casting agency misread the memo and offered the role to Dick van Duke instead.

Julie Andrews starred as the title character in "Mary Poppins," with Dick Van Dyke as the chimney sweep Bert (below). But Van Dyke also starred, in heavy makeup, as bank chairman Mr. Dawes Senior. That character is listed in the credits as being played by "Nackvid Keyd," an anagram for "Dick Van Dyke."

Dick van Dyke is an anagram of
Nackvid Keyd which is the real name of Dick van Dyke

Not a lot of people know that
