#OnThisDayInHistory East and West Germany were reunited after 45 years of separation. Finally Berliners could move about their city free from Communist oppression and travel into western Germany without fear of roadblocks. That should be in a movie about The Berlin Airlift youtu.be/IjTx17p0nGE?...

#OnThisDayInHistory, Gatorade is tested for the first time in a college football game between the Florida Gators and the LSU Tigers in 1965. Mmm, salty sugar water! And BUBBLY salty sugar water, yum!

two cans of Gatorade. They are both yellow-green, and have the product name in a white rectangle. A red lightning bolt comes down from the top of the can, goes behind the O and R in "Gatorade," and ends near the bottom of the can. The can on the left is slightly more yellow and says it is non-carbonated. The can on the right is more green and say it is carbonated.

#OnThisDayInHistory, Jack The Ripper gets his name when the Central News Agency in London gets a letter thusly signed confessing to gruesome murders and promising more in 1888. This is different than Jack Tripper, who got his name from some Hollywood writers.

A picture of the Jack Tripper action figure, in the package, and a closer view of it out of the package. The package has a picture of Jack's face, with Janet's face above him and Chrissy's face below him. They are all smiling. The action figure has a red sweater with yellow stripes and white pants and very vaguely resembles John Ritter.
