20 Mind Altering Facts That Kept Us Awake All Night

Wake up, sheeple: Swedish fish are just red Sour Patch Kids without the sour coating.

For thousands of years, people have been gathering interesting facts, then sharing them with their friends and families, and the whole world. The sharing is often done in writing or speech, but it can also be done through performance, and sometimes through music. There are lots of ways to enjoy this list of interesting facts. Here's how I will share mine. First, there's no one way that all of us will enjoy it. So here's an old story from my home country, Australia: One day, a boy was playing near a pool in a park. He found a frog in the pool, and was thrilled by its beauty. He was even more excited when he realised he had captured it in a jar, and could take it home to his mother. “Let's keep him in the house,” said his mother, “so he doesn't escape.” And I did much the same with all these facts:
