A Lightweight Vacuum ... Even a 6-Year Old Can Handle

• The average American eats about three burgers a week, which translates to nearly 50 billion burgers consumed across the nation every year. About 70% of the beef served in commercial restaurants is made into burgers. • You might think cheeseburgers have been around just as long as hamburgers, but not so! In the late 1700s, German sailors and immigrants brought the “Hamburg Steak” (an entrée with origins in Hamburg, Germany) to New York City. The meat patty between two pieces of bread was a popular item along the New York harbor. The city’s famous Delmonico’s Restaurant featured a hamburger on their menu in 1834. The hamburger made its way out west, appearing on the menu of San Fernando, California’s Clipper restaurant from 1872 to 1884. Yet it seems that the hamburger didn’t look like it does today until 1891, when Oscar Bilby served burgers on a bun. The 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair gave the hamburger widespread attention.

CHEESEBURGERS (continued): • The first records of cheeseburgers were in the 1920s. A Pasadena restaurant, the Rite Spot, claimed it was the first to serve a cheeseburger in 1926, when the owner’s 16-year-old son came up with the idea. A 1928 menu from a Los Angeles restaurant called O’Dell’s has a cheeseburger listed. Kaelin’s Restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky, says they invented the item in 1934. But the first person to apply for use of the word “cheeseburger” as a trademark was Louis Ballast of Denver’s Humpty Dumpty Drive-In. Ballast registered the name in 1935 and was awarded a trademark, but never made any claims on it. Steak ‘n Shake claims their restaurant’s founder, Gus Belt, was the first to apply for a trademark in the 1930s. • Jimmy Buffett’s popular 1978 hit “Cheeseburger in Paradise” led to a chain of successful restaurants. The song was inspired by a boat trip gone bad taken by Buffett and friends. Bad weather prevented the boat from landing as planned, and Buffett was forced to subsist on canned food and peanut butter, while constantly craving a cheeseburger. When he finally landed on the island of Tortola, his cravings were finally satisfied. There are now 19 Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants, although Buffett divested himself of his financial interest in the chain in 2012. • Ray Kroc was already in his late 50’s when he bought the McDonald’s company from the two McDonald brothers in 1961. Now the most successful fast food chain in the world, more than 75 burgers are sold every second of every day worldwide. McDonald’s hires about a million workers in America every year; in fact, about one in every eight American workers has been employed by McDonald’s at one time or another. Five and a half million head of cattle are needed to prepare the burgers served at the restaurants in one year.

CHEESEBURGERS (continued): • In 1967, McDonald’s introduced “two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun,” the ever popular Big Mac. This cheeseburger with a middle slice of bread to help prevent spillage had two previous names, the Aristocrat and the Blue Ribbon Burger. When neither name seemed to catch on, a 21-year-old secretary in McDonald’s corporate advertising department, Esther Glickstein Rose, came up with the name Big Mac. The burger made its debut in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, with a selling price of 45 cents. By the following year, all the McDonald’s restaurants had added it to their menu. • Of the more than 13,000 Burger Kings in 79 countries, about 66% of those are in the United States. More than 11 million people eat at a Burger King somewhere in the world every day. The world’s third largest hamburger chain, BK got its start in Miami, Florida in 1953 as Insta-Burger King. The Whopper was added to the menu in 1957. • Counting your calories? A Burger King cheeseburger has 360, and McDonald’s has 313. If you want a McD’s double cheeseburger, you’ll consume 459 calories. There are 550 calories in a Big Mac in the United States. In the United Kingdom, that burger is worth only 490 calories, while in Malaysia that number is 484. The lowest Big Mac calorie count is found in Chile at 478, with Japan have the highest at 557. It takes about 153 minutes of brisk walking to burn off the calories contained in a Big Mac. A slice of cheddar cheese adds about 113 calories to an ordinary burger.

TIDBITS® BEATING by Janet Spencer

HEART ATTACK FACTS • 37% of all deaths in the United States are related to heart disease, making it the largest single cause of natural death. Heart disease kills twice as many people as all forms of cancer combined. The major causes are smoking, fatty diet, high blood pressure, obesity, stress, heredity, lack of exercise, and diabetes. It is an illness produced of man's environment. Before 1900, heart attacks were very rare. The rate of heart disease increased so sharply between 1940 and 1967 that the World Health Organization called it the world’s most serious epidemic. • Every single cell in the heart is guided by an electrical impulse which synchronizes the heartbeat so all muscle cells contract in unison to pump the blood. During a heart attack, the cells begin firing out of turn so the efficiency of the heart is lost and the blood does not get pumped. When doctors shock the heart, the shock overrides each cell’s individual firing mechanism and once again synchronizes every cell, hopefully getting them all to work together again.

CHEESEBURGERS (continued): • In case an ordinary cheeseburger isn’t your “cup of tea,” the Texas-based restaurant chain known as the Twisted Root Burger Company offers a variety of unusual game burgers, including venison, kangaroo, beaver, ostrich, emu, boar, alligator, and camel burgers. • How about a cheeseburger that uses glazed doughnuts in place of a bun? Nicknamed The Luther after singer/songwriter Luther Vandross, who had a weakness for this burger, it can total between 800 and 1,500 calories. You can cut the caloric intake by eliminating the chocolate-covered bacon. • If you’re feeling really hungry, stop by the BGR Burger Joint in Washington, D.C. and order up The 9-Pounder. This cheeseburger’s final weight is actually 15.4 lbs. after being topped with two heads of lettuce, eight tomatoes, three onions, and four whole pickles. Although it can feed between 10 and 15 people, if one person can eat the whole thing in one sitting, it’s free. The restaurant generously includes a free bottle of Maalox. • New York City’s Serendipity 3 restaurant offers Le Burger Extravagant, a Japanese Wagyu beef burger infused with white truffle butter, seasoned with smoked Pacific sea salt, topped with hand-formed cheddar cheese, black truffles, and a fried quail egg. The bun is topped with caviar and a diamond-encrusted toothpick. This lunch will set you back $295, and be sure to call 48 hours in advance to order. • How can Las Vegas’ Burger Brasserie charge $777 for their 777 Burger? It’s a combination of Kobe beef and Maine lobster topped with caramelized onions, imported Brie cheese, crispy prosciutto, and 100-year aged balsamic vinegar. The price is a little high because this entrée includes a bottle of Dom Perignon champagne.

FAMOUS CANADIANS:

THE PROPERTY BROTHERS

There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to Canada’s favorite reality stars, The Property Brothers. Here are the details on these handsome real estate experts. • Each week, HGTV viewers across the U.S. and Canada tune in to watch one or all of Drew and Jonathan Scott’s three hit shows, The Property Brothers, Buying & Selling, or Brother vs. Brother. Ratings on The Property Brothers have broken all of HGTV’s records. With Drew as the real estate agent and Jonathan as remodeling contractor, the 6’4” twins help first-time home buyers find and transform fixer-uppers into their dream home. Jonathan generates a 3-D computer design of what the renovated home will look like, digitally knocking down walls and adding new furnishings. They help the new homeowners stay within their remodeling budget because they’re budget-conscious themselves. As Jonathan jokes, “We’re Scottish, so we’re cheap!” • Born and raised in Vancouver, B.C., the brothers were entrepreneurs at a very young age. When they turned seven, their father told them they needed to get a job, and the innovative pair started a decorative coat hanger business. They made the hangers themselves and sold them to local businesses, but before long, a Japanese company was buying crates of their hangers. • At age 18, the twins bought their first house and renovated it. As college freshmen, they flipped the house for a $50,000 profit. Although real estate seemed to be a good fit for them, the twins both tried their hand at acting first. Drew had a role in season six of Smallville, and Jonathan was in the TV series The X-Files for a short time.

• In college, Jonathan focused on business management while Drew majored in kinesiology and mathematics. Drew participated in a comedy troupe called the Raving Thespians, while Jonathan was a 13-time Canadian karate champion as well as concentrating his efforts on magic and illusion, becoming well-known as one of the world’s youngest international illusionists. • The twins began investing in real estate as a way to fund various film projects they were interested in. When the property ventures began to pay off, they turned it into their successful series. Yet Drew still found time to produce and direct several movie shorts and made-for-TV movies. • As if their three successful TV series aren’t enough, a new series is in the works, one which focuses on their own family home renovation in Las Vegas. The Scott brothers are also collaborating on a new book and developing their own furniture line. Their company Scott Real Estate, Inc. has offices in Vancouver, Calgary, and Las Vegas. • Although the show features Drew as the real estate expert, both are licensed agents. Jonathan is also a licensed contractor, as well as maintaining a popular award-winning illusionist act in Las Vegas. • As part of their Scottish heritage, both brothers play the bagpipes and visit family in Scotland on a regular basis. • Drew and Jonathan were both voted Entertainment Tonight’s 2011 Hottest Canadian TV Bachelors. • The pair focus their philanthropic efforts on volunteering in the oncology ward at the Calgary, Alberta Children’s Hospital.

• It was 19th-century Cuban poet and revolutionary Jose Marti who made the following sage observation: "Barricades of ideas are worth more than barricades of stones." • When you think of dangerous occupations, the jobs that immediately come to mind are probably firefighter and police officer. You might be surprised to learn, then, that in New York City, the fatality rate for garbage collectors is twice as high as it is for members of the NYPD. • A pregnant goldfish is known as a twit. • The U.S. Open, which takes place at the end of summer every year, is one of the oldest tennis championships in the world, beginning in 1881 with a men's singles competition. The modern competition, of course, now includes men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles and mixed doubles. That's a lot of tennis -- and a lot of balls. During the two weeks of the

championship, approximately 70,000 tennis balls are used. • In 2012, at a hospital in Ireland, twin girls set a Guinness World Record when they were born 87 days apart -- and they confounded medical experts' gloomy prognosis by both surviving. • If you make a serious study of Hungarian gypsies, you probably already know that you're a tziganologist. • The flag of Ireland and the flag of Cote d'Ivoire are nearly identical, with vertical stripes of green, white and orange. There are only two minor differences: 1) The Irish flag has the green stripe on the left and the orange stripe on the right, while Cote d'Ivoire has the two colors reversed; and 2) the Irish flag is slightly longer. *** Thought for the Day: "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his." -Gen. George Patton

In celebration of National Guacamole Day on September 16, Tidbits looks into the facts on the avocado. • The word “avocado” comes from the Aztec word ahuacatl. The ancient Aztecs prepared guacamole in a molcajete, which was a mortar and pestle tool carved from volcanic rock. Clear back in the 1500s when Spanish explorers encountered the Aztecs, that civilization was making ahuaca-mulli, which translates “avocado mixture.” • Native to Central and South America, cultivation of avocados in the United States began the early 1900s. Major producers of this fruit are Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Colombia, and the state of California, which grows 90% of America’s crop. There are about 7,000 avocado groves in the Golden State, with San Diego County designated the Avocado Capital of the U.S. • Lots of folks think that the avocado is a vegetable, but it’s actually the fruit of the Persea Americana tree, a tall evergreen that grows up to 65 feet in height. One tree can produce about 50 avocados a year. The fruits will not ripen on the tree, and must be picked in order to initiate the ripening process. The avocado, a singleseeded berry, has been nicknamed the alligator pear because of its shape and rough green skin. • We often think of the banana as having the highest measure of potassium, while in fact, there is twice the potassium in one avocado than there is in one banana, 975 mg. compared to 487 mg. The avocado also has one of the highest amounts of protein in a fruit, with 4 grams in one avocado. One medium avocado also has 10 grams of fiber.
