Pretty sure that’s a female beauty standard.


My feet are like that...but not as pronounced. This says it is pretty common.

Barbie had a black friend, named Chelsea, produced in 1968 up until 2005, when they changed her name and face. That makes the Barbie toy line quite a bit more progressive than most other toys of her era.

I had a CD player not long after 83, and my first CD?
DSOM

My first CD player:

*(purchased at "Nobody beats The Wiz!") :)

Can't recall exactly which CD was my first but it was very likely one I obtained by joining (and quitting!) those retarded "CD-Clubs" multiple times for the "free" disc's back in the day!

Columbia House

Book matches (safety matches) light more easily on the friction strip on the matchbook than on other surfaces because the strip (not the match) contains phosphorus that reacts with the potassium chlorate coating the match head, producing heat.

I also learned about fire pistons today.

The famous and well love "rooster" hot sauce aka sriracha red hot sauce Huy Fong is made in America by a legal immigrant from Vietnam with the sauce originally from Thailand ( Si Racha) . The company does not spend a dime on advertising and is selling ton and ton of those red hot sauce bottles.
