The first Teddy bear was made in 1902. They began selling them in 1903.
A dentist invented the electric chair.
Having a middle name goes all the way back to ancient Rome.
The first zoo opened up in 1874.
In 1941 M&M were invented for the Military.
(n 1947 M&M were sold to the public.
I hope you like reading interesting things,

I believe that the Teddy bear name was named after former POTUS Teddy Roosevelt. I did not know that M&Ms were made for the military around World War II.

Fun fact, the military still loves seeing M&Ms in their MRE, it makes them smile, well at least there was one good thing. Also not all of them come with it so it becomes like prison rules, people be trading left and right not to get stabbed.

I still have my first teddy bear. It's the only childhood toy I have still. My Dad bought it for me when I was born and brought it to the hospital. It's very special to me. And yes, I do like to read things like this very much. We all need to learn something every day, and these things are interesting.

I can believe that a dentist invented the electric chair. They’re into pain.
