TRUTH !!
In 1932, a chemist named Charles Goetz tackled the problem of whipped cream turning
runny and un-usable shortly after being made. He added laughing gas to it, and ice-
cream parlors everywhere rejoiced.
(He used the same technology on shaving cream, by the way...)


TRUTH OR CRAP ??
"Eric Von Zipper" was the original name of the "Rocky Horror Show" character, Dr.
Frank-n-Furter.




CRAP !!
The character Eric Von Zipper has no connection to "Rocky Horror". Von Zipper was a
regular character in the early 60's "Beach Party" movie series starring Frankie Avalon
and Annette Funicello.
Played by Harvey Lembeck, Von Zipper was the leader of the Rat Pack, a bumbling
Biker Gang.
