 The
TV Dinner was invented in 1953, when Swanson over-estimated
how many turkeys they'd sell for Thanksgiving, and had to
get rid of 260 tons of birds. Gerry Thomas, a company
salesman, ordered 5,000 aluminum trays, recruited an
assembly line of women armed with spatulas and ice-cream
scoops and began creating mini-feasts of turkey, corn-bread
dressing, peas and sweet potatoes,creating the first-ever TV
dinner. Thomas later said he got the idea from neatly
packaged airplane food.

  Mount
Tambora, a volcano on Sumbawa Island in present-day
Indonesia, erupted in April 1815. It was the most
destructive explosion on Earth in the past 10,000 years.
10,000 people living on the island were killed in the
eruption . News of this event traveled slowly because it
occurred before the invention of the telegraph. For this
reason, this eruption is less well known compared to the
1883 eruption of Krakatoa between Java and Sumatra in
present-day Indonesia, despite being 10 times more powerful. More |
