Fun facts are very popular and interesting but can sometimes get annoying. What if they were put to good use and not just conversation starters?
Did you know there is an island in the Bahamas called Pig Beach because it is entirely populated by wild, swimming, pigs? True story. Would you believe me if I told you that Salvador Dali would get out of paying for meals by drawing on the checks, turning them into art, thus becoming un-cashable? It’s a pretty dick move but it’s a better idea than starting a fight and getting kicked out of the place forever.
In this video by “Bright Side,” we learn about 19 interesting facts that are seemingly fake but aren’t. For instance, did you know it’s illegal to own a catapult in Aspen Colorado? You can look it up if you want.
Fun facts are powerful weapons. They can save lives from shark attacks but can turn you into a social outcast at any party you attend. Let me explain. If you tell someone about to go to Australia to punch a shark in the gills if it tries to attack, you might have just saved a life. On the other hand, if you tell a group of people that a crocodile can’t stick its tongue out, the group will try to kidnap you and stick you head in a crocodile’s mouth to see if you’re telling the truth.
A slideshow advertisement for companies like Snapple and Nestle would go viral using this concept. Snapple, being a drink known for its fun facts should demonstrate just how many there are in this world while Nestle could bring childish jokes on its Laffy Taffy candy using all of these ideas. As maddening as one-liners can be if Nestle puts out a two minutes commercial firing off one-liners like they’re semi-automatics, there is no way it will go unnoticed.
The concept? “How many jokes/ fun facts can be said in 60 seconds?”
