Banksy once dodged Time magazine’s request for a portrait by submitting a photo of himself with a paper bag over his head—and still made their Top 100 Most Influential People list. From stenciled protests on city walls to million-dollar masterpieces that self-destruct at auction, the anonymous artist has built a career blending satire, secrecy, and social critique. But who is Banksy? That’s still the greatest mystery in modern art.

Despite refusing to self-identify, Banksy’s art has skyrocketed in popularity over the years. Banksy continues to meld activism with art in brilliant ways.

Believe It or Not!, the U.S. government once had so much excess cheese that officials joked about dumping it in the ocean. By the early 1980s, more than 500 million pounds of processed cheese were stockpiled in warehouses—so they started giving it away. Whether you loved it or loathed it, “government cheese” became an unforgettable staple of hard times, grilled cheese sandwiches, and childhood nostalgia.

When the U.S. had an excess amount of cheese, the government stepped in and began sharing it with people in need. But it wasn't exactly charcuterie-worthy.

Believe It or Not!, the very first published drawing of Snoopy appeared not in a Peanuts strip—but in *Ripley’s Believe It or Not!* In 1937, a 14-year-old Charles Schulz submitted a sketch of his real-life dog, Spike, and it was featured in one of Ripley’s legendary cartoon panels. That spunky pup would later become the inspiration for one of the most beloved cartoon characters in history.

As a kid, Charles Schulz looked up to famed illustrator Robert Ripley and sent him a drawing of his own, only for it to be featured in Ripley’s cartoon!

Colgate once tried to sell frozen dinners—including a now-infamous beef lasagna, or so the legend goes. But did a toothpaste company really think we’d want minty-fresh microwave meals? The truth is messier than you’d think—and might just involve crab meat.

The brand hoped to entice people into eating their frozen meals and then brushing their teeth with the company’s toothpaste.

Can you roll your tongue? You might’ve been told it’s all in your genes—but science says otherwise. Despite what your middle school biology teacher claimed, tongue rolling may have more to do with practice than DNA! 👅

Many wonder if shuffle is random, but app developers have determined that true random just isn't random enough.
