Fanta was originally invented in and for Nazi Germany only during WW2

Some ingredients for Coke could not be imported into Germay due to an embargo.

This led to the head of Coke in Germany inventing a new drink as a replacement using available ingredients and his own idea

Because he made up on the spot using his own imagination, the called it Fantasie, which was shortened to Fanta

Apple Fanta was born.

So next time you have an apple Fanta, just think of it as Nazi juice

At the end of WW1 the SFA were rather tardy in restarting Div2 so a number of clubs protested; one being Dundee Hibernian. The SFA were forced to relent and Div2 started up again in season 1921-22.

That season also saw the introduction of automatic promotion/relegation. Once again, Dundee Hibs were strong campaigners.

Ironically Dundee Hibs finished second bottom of Div2 in 1921-22 and became one of the first teams to be automatically relegated.

During their non-league 'sabatical' they changed their constitution, and their to Dundee United.

A random football fact, #1: (7/2/13)
The last time the Netherlands played an international match without a 'van' in their starting XI was against France during Euro 2000 (they won 3-2).

However, the last time they didn't have a 'van' in their entire match day squad (Peter van Vossen appeared as a late substitute against France) was way back in 1996 in a friendly 2-0 victory against China.

Using chop sticks forces you to slow down and take smaller bites of food. This gives your stomach time to access you are eating and getting full. This reduces the overall risk of diabetes and obesity.

Have just been having a conversation with a local here. I was saying that there are very few tall Angolans as he brought up my height
