The Coke commercial was the first thing that came to mind even after all these years. I never knew as a kid I was watching a mass murder/suicide.

Did you know that if you took the entire Pacific salmon catch and laid it out nose to tail across the Sahara desertโ€ฆ

โ€ฆthe stench would be overpowering!

Did you know that if you took a blue whale and laid it lengthwise across a basketball court, the game would be canceled?

If 8 billion people hold hands and every person would take up 1.3m, the line would go around the equator 250 times. About 6 billion would drown.

No, a line is when there are people waiting in front of you, not when theyโ€™re beside you holding your hand.
