Re: Yes it really happened
It would appear that the main reason to change from red was visibility. Whilst Red is easier to see in daylight hours, its one of the worst colours at other times (dawn and dusk being the worst times). As most people who are colour blind have a problem with seeing red (more so than other colours) it seemed sensible not to paint them all red

WOOTZ
Wootz steel, also known as Seric steel, is a crucible steel characterized by a pattern of bands and high carbon content. These bands are formed by sheets of microscopic carbides within a tempered martensite or pearlite matrix in higher carbon steel, or by ferrite and pearlite banding in lower carbon steels. It was a pioneering steel alloy developed in India in the mid-1st millennium BC and exported globally.

Central Bank of Iraq, 2003
Mere hours before the United States invaded his country, Saddam Hussein sent his son Qusay to empty the coffers of Iraq’s central bank. According to the New York Times, it took three tractor-trailers to carry away the money.
The former Iraqi dictator is believed to have put away close to US$1 billion. Part of that may have been recovered when a U.S. sergeant came upon a cache of US$650 million in American bills a few months later. That still leaves some US$350 million unaccounted for.

Loomis, Fargo & Co., 1997
On March 29, 1997, Philip Johnson, a former driver for the armoured car company Loomis, Fargo & Co. in Jacksonville, Florida, kidnapped two of his colleagues and made off with roughly US$19 million. As reported by United Press International, most of the money was later discovered in a storage shed in North Carolina.
Johnson spent most of the next few months in Mexico. In August, he was arrested by a customs officer after being taken off a bus travelling across the border into Texas. In 2019, Johnson was released after serving 22 years in prison.
As described by Axios Charlotte, Loomis, Fargo & Co. fell victim to another theft by one of its drivers on October 4, 1997. After loading a company van with US$17.4 million (US$28 million today), David Ghantt took a small portion of the cash and headed to Mexico, where he and his accomplices had agreed he would wait until he could safely come back. Among other blunders, Ghantt’s co-conspirators began spending their loot in a recklessly extravagant fashion, which drew the attention of the FBI.
Ghantt, meanwhile, was eventually arrested in Mexico.

THE GODFATHER II (MOVIE)
That was a real horse’s head
Sorry if you don’t know this already. The horse’s head that is found in a bed in one of the movie’s most iconic scenes? That was an actual head of an actual horse. Grim though it may be, no animals were harmed in the making of that scene. Coppola had procured the horse head from a dog food company.
One of the most-memorable lines in “The Godfather” was an adlib
Perhaps Castellano ended up disagreeing with the producers prior to “The Godfather Part II” because he believed he deserved a little more input on his character. After all, Castellano reported adlibbed the famous line “Leave the gun, take the cannoli.”

What does Sardoodledom mean?
We define sardoodledom as “mechanically contrived plot structure and stereotyped or unrealistic characterization in drama.” The word is of relatively recent origin: it appears to have been coined by George Bernard Shaw at the end of the 19th century. The sardoodle- portion of the word taken from the name of a French playwright criticized by Shaw for the staginess of his works (Victorien Sardou), while the latter portion is a combination of doodle and the noun suffix -dom (“those having a (specified) office, occupation, interest, or character”).

NOT PAST THEIR EXPIRATION DATE
Strawberries
Strawberries don’t keep more than three days in the refrigerator. Thereafter, they become quite soft and shriveled. They are also susceptible to transform into a hotbed for bacteria. If you expose them to heat, they will last even less time.
Cooked meats
According to popular belief, cooked meats are good for months. Yet, it’s important to go by their “best before” date… unless you want to get listeriosis! Several of this disease’s symptoms are similar to those of food poisoning. Plus, in some people like children or the elderly, it can lead to meningitis.

UK or USA Well the answer is
Kit Kat (stylised as KitKat in various countries) is a chocolate-covered wafer bar confection created by Rowntree's of York, United Kingdom, and is now produced globally by Nestlé (which acquired Rowntree's in 1988),[1] except in the United States, where it is made under licence by the H. B. Reese Candy Company, a division of the Hershey Company (an agreement Rowntree's first made with Hershey in 1970).[2]
The standard bars consist of two or four pieces composed of three layers of wafer, separated and covered by an outer layer of chocolate. Each finger can be snapped from the bar separately. There are many flavours of Kit Kat, including milk, white, and dark chocolate.
The original four-finger version of the bar was developed after a worker at Rowntree's York factory put a suggestion in the recommendation box for "a chocolate bar that a man could take to work in his pack up".[3] It was launched in September 1935 in the UK as Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp, and the later two-finger version was launched in 1936. It was renamed Kit Kat Chocolate Crisp in 1937, and just Kit Kat after World War II.[4] Since making its first television appearance in a UK commercial in 1958, the slogan for the Kit Kat in the UK and elsewhere has been "Have a break... have a Kit Kat".[4][5][6] Since 1986 in the U.S., the jingle used in television advertisements has been "Gimme a break, Gimme a break, Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar!"
