Weekly origin #1

Today while making an unusual toilet visit, I thought that it would be healthy for my blog to have some kind of weekly post. I have been reading several books by author Uncle John and the bathroom readers institute called Bathroom Reader in different versions. These books contain lots of trivia and knowledge  that people like me enjoy. The books always has chapters called "origins", these origins are f**cking cool, and I want to share it with you. So this is my first weekly origin, enjoy.

Okay this weeks origin is AIRPLANE PEANUTS!
Okay, you may think that this is a weird topic... But the history behind it is actually quite interesting!
Now of days you can not barely step into an airplane without getting handed a bag of peanuts or pretzels, but before the 30's it never happened. It all started with continental airlines. The airline started a campaign where they would serve beer and cocktails. The campaign was a complete success! Continental airlines then thought; "This f**cking rules! LET$ MAKE $OME MORE MONAAAAAY!!!". Then an innovator and f**cking genius from the company thought: "If we can make people drink more, we can make more MONAAAAY! So if we give them something to make them thirsty we can make them buy more drinks and pay us more MONAAAY!!". The other workers at continental airlines loved the idea, and they thought that salty peanuts were a good start. People loved the peanuts, and from there on every airline gave out peanuts. And that's how it went down.

I'LL SEE YOU AROUND.
