HOUSEHOLD BRANDS (cont.)

• Back in 1913, five California businessmen – a banker, a wood and coal vendor, a bookkeeper, a lawyer, and a miner -- each threw in $100 to establish America’s first commercial-scale liquid bleach factory. Located in Oakland, California, the group dubbed it the Electro-Alkaline Company. They named their product Clorox bleach, by combining the words “chlorine” and “sodium hydroxide,” substances that form the bleach’s active ingredient. A diamond-shaped logo was drafted and became the company’s long-time trademark. From its humble beginnings, the Clorox company now boasts upwards of 8,100 employees and annual net sales of $6 billion. • One of the products now owned by Clorox is the familiar cleaner Formula 409. There are few theories as to how 409 was named, one being that it was for the April 9th birthday of the inventor’s wife (4/09). The more common premise is that it took two young Detroit scientists 408 batches of grease-cutting formulas before they finally hit on the winner on the 409th try. • Dawn dishwashing liquid is the best-selling dish soap in America, but this product is good for much more than just washing the dishes. First created by a 26-year-old chemist in 1973, the liquid gained fame for saving the lives of thousands of birds following the Exxon-Valdez oil spill in 1983 and a 2010 oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico. Procter & Gamble has since donated large quantities of Dawn for environmental cleanup of oil spills. Did you know that it’s a good choice for ridding your cat of fleas and killing insects on plant leaves as well?

• Brothers-in-law Dr. Austin Church and John Dwight began production and marketing of baking soda in 1846, making it in one of their kitchens and packaging in paper bags. They created the now-famous Arm & Hammer trademark 20 years later, featuring the arm of Vulcan, Roman mythology’s god of fire, with a hammer in his hand. It is now one of the world’s most recognized logos. In the early 20th century, the company distributed mail order guides, which included recipes and household tips. In the 1960s, the company’s ads stressed the abundant number of uses for baking soda in the home, including sunburn and poison ivy relief, automotive maintenance, mouth care, as an antacid, and for odor control. Homemakers everywhere started putting a box of baking soda in the refrigerator to eliminate odors and help keep food fresh. For the Statue of Liberty’s 100th anniversary in 1986, all of the statue’s inner copper walls were scrubbed with baking soda, removing 99 years of grimy buildup, while leaving the copper undamaged. • In the 1930s, the Block Drug Company bought out a small dental care products company, and the owner Alexander Block developed Polident denture cleaner. He was the main supplier until 1966 when Efferdent denture tablets were introduced. In addition to removing stains from dentures, these tablets are beneficial for cleaning toilet bowls and removing burned-on food from Pyrex cookware.

• On Oct. 13, 1792, the cornerstone is laid for a presidential residence in the newly designated capital city of Washington. It was called the "White House" because its white-gray Virginia freestone contrasted strikingly with the red brick of nearby buildings. • On Oct. 10, 1845, The United States Naval Academy opens in Annapolis, Maryland, with 50 midshipmen students and seven professors. • On Oct. 8, 1871, flames spark in the Chicago barn of Patrick and Catherine O'Leary, igniting a two-day blaze that kills up to 300 people and destroys 17,450 buildings. Legend has it that a cow kicked over a lantern and started the fire, but in 1997, the Chicago City Council exonerated Mrs. O'Leary and her cow. • On Oct. 14, 1913, over 400 workers die in a massive coal-mine explosion near Cardiff, Wales. Nearly 500 miners were brought up safely, but with no further signs of life, mine officials decided to seal the mine, entombing the bodies. • On Oct. 9, 1940, during the Battle of Britain, the German Luftwaffe conducts a heavy nighttime air raid on London. The dome of St. Paul's Cathedral was pierced by a Nazi bomb, leaving the high altar in ruin. Otherwise, the cathedral survived the Blitz largely intact. • On Oct. 11, 1975, the single "Born to Run" became Bruce Springsteen's first-ever Top 40 hit. In 1974, a Rolling Stone editor had bestowed this now-famous praise upon the Boss: "I saw rock and roll's future and its name is Bruce Springsteen." • On Oct. 12, 1997, songwriter and performer John Denver dies when his experimental amateur aircraft crashes into Monterey Bay on the California coast. Known for hits like "Rocky Mountain High" and "Take Me Home, Country Roads," Denver sold more than 32 million albums in the U.S. alone. © 2018 Hearst Communications, Inc. All Rights Reserved

• Back in 1958, Major League Baseball’s Detroit Tigers were unhappy with the hot dogs being sold in Tiger Stadium. They hired a Michigan meat-packing company called Hygrade Food Products to come up with a better product. After developing a recipe for a new frank, the company held a contest among its employees to name it. Saleswoman Mary Ann Kirk suggested “Ball Park Franks,” and earned $25 and a leather chair for her contribution. An Ohio schoolteacher visited every major league park in 1985, with the sole purpose of rating their hot dogs, and compiled his findings in a book, Dodger Dogs to Fenway Franks and All the Wieners in Between. Ball Park franks were easily the winner. Apparently, 95 million consumers agree with him, as evidenced by last year’s sales figures. Using baking soda as a cleaning agent is nothing new. The Ancient Egyptians were using it as early as 3500 B.C. Baking soda is also a primary ingredient in fire extinguishers, and can be used to put out a kitchen grease fire.

• In 1894, three gentlemen entered into a partnership in the business of feeding farm animals. After their products were endorsed by a certain Dr. Ralston, the company changed its name to Ralston Purina, with Purina indicating “pure.” They expanded into breakfast cereal, grits, and pancake flour, and their packaging was updated to include a checkerboard on the bags. The company’s fame expanded when their Purina Dog Chow Checkers were chosen to feed the dogs on Admiral Richard Byrd’s Antarctic expedition in 1933, and even further with the introduction of Wheat Chex cereal in 1937. Purina was the first to introduce pet food in distinctive shapes that we now call “kibble.” The year 1963 marked the debut of Purina Cat Chow and its Puppy Chow. From 1977 to 1983, Ralston Purina was the owner of NHL’s St. Louis Blues, as well as its arena they christened the Checkerdome.

• The word “octopus” is from the Greek, meaning “eight legs.” Grammarians say that while the word “octopi” is permissible for the plural form, the preferred, more correct form is “octopuses.” Octopi is a misuse of the Greek word structure. • There are more than 300 different species of the octopus, a family of cephalopods, those creatures that possess a set of arms or tentacles. They are invertebrates, meaning they have no backbone, and in fact, are the most intelligent of all invertebrates. Octopuses have been observed using tools, such as coconut shells to hide from predators, and even collect shells to build fortresses around their lairs. • Octopuses are solitary creatures that live alone. The octopus builds its own den from rocks, moved into place with its arms, and they even devise a door for the den that the octopus can pull closed. • These creatures are fast swimmers, jetting forward by blasting water through muscular tubes called siphons. Because they have no skeleton, they have the ability to alter their body shape in order to squeeze through narrow cracks and crevices between underwater rocks to escape predators. • When pursued by predators, such as moray eels, whales, and seals, octopuses also have the unique ability to release a cloud of black ink, giving it time to escape. As a further defense, the ink has a component that interferes with the predator’s sense of smell, disorienting it and reducing its ability to track the octopus.

OCTOPUSES (continued):

• If their shape-changing and ink-squirting abilities still don’t allow them to escape a predator, their last resort is simply to lose an arm and flee. The octopus can re-grow the limb and suffer no permanent effects. • The only hard part on an octopus’ body is a small beak, similar to that of a parrot. Their strong jaws are capable of a very severe bite, along with a venomous saliva that can subdue their favorite prey of crabs, shrimps, and lobsters. They typically approach their victims from above and use the suction on their armsAdvertiser: Rep: to draw food into their mouths. Date:

• For all their complexity, intelligence, and amazing abilities, the life expectancy of an octopus is short, with most less than a year, and some as little as six months. Mating actually brings on the death of both genders. Males live just a few months after mating, and the females die shortly after the eggs hatch, starving to death after failing to eat for the prior month while waiting for eggs to hatch.

• The Giant Pacific Octopus is the largest, a species which typically weighs only 50 lbs., but can possess arms as long as 14 feet.

DIFFERENCES: 1. Towel is missing. 2. Pocket is missing. 3. Arm is moved. 4. Airplane is missing. 5. Sand trap is smaller. 6. Club head is different.

• Did you know there is a difference between “arms” and “tentacles”? Appendages with suckers along the entire length are called arms, while tentacles have suckers only at the tip. According to this definition, marine biologists contend that octopuses have eight arms and no tentacles.
