Fun Food Firsts

Remember the first time you ever had a donut? Or a popsicle? Or cotton candy? Now stop to think how life would be without them. And now imagine you are the first person in the world to taste them. Everything has a first time.

This week, a look at fun food firsts.

TTFN, Fred.

Elevators

An elevator (US and Canada) or lift (UK, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and South Africa) is a type of vertical transportation that moves people or goods between floors (levels, decks) of a building, vessel, or other structure. Elevators are generally powered by electric motors that either drive traction cables or counterweight systems like a hoist, or pump hydraulic fluid to raise a cylindrical piston like a jack.

This week, a look elevators.

TTFN, Fred.
