Band-Aid

Invented back in the 1920's by Johnson and Johnson. A Band-Aid is and aid to help the healing process of cuts and scratches. It created an artificial barrier to protect the cut from bacteria and infection. The majority of Band-Aids today come with medicine already in them. The structure of a Band-Aid is basically a sticky strip about one inch thick and about two and a half inches long, with a one inch square of cotton placed in the middle. The cotton area is to be placed over the cut and the adhesive on either ends of it will hold it in place over the cut to protect it.

Grass Snake

The Grass Snake is a non-aggressive snake. They rarely bite, only under extreme conditions. They are not venomous even if they were to bit. Grass Snakes are commonly dark green or brown. They hibernate throughout the winter. Also they are typically found in the New England region. I would know, I live about one hour south of Boston and i see them all the time. I have always been terrified of them, but after researching them, i don't think that i am as afraid of them anymore, but we will just have to wait and see when i come in contact with one!

Pop-Tarts

Pop-Tarts were created by Kellogg's in the 1990's. They are a breakfast pastry, that was an immediate hit. The rectangle filled with a fruit filling and frosted with a sweet frosting fits perfectly in the toaster. It was fast and yet still hot, so it seemed home-made, yet it only took about 30 seconds to make. It was perfect for family's that were on the run. A grab-and-go breakfast food. It can also be eaten cold and at any point of the day, personally my favorite is the Snores and i eat it hot and cold at any time during the day. Pop-Tarts was a major innovation the the breakfast world!
