Fireball whiskey nutrition facts

 10 made up fireball whiskey nutrition facts


1) It's not actually whiskey, it's a blend of bourbon and rye with some other ingredients to make it taste like the stuff.

2) The name comes from the fact that when you light up a bottle of fireball, it looks like a flaming hand going through fire. (And yes, this is also why people say "fireball" when they're drunk.)

3) It was invented by a guy named Henry Clay Frick in 1876. He was the co-owner of the industrial company that made the stuff. He also happened to be a big ol' control freak who was jealous of his business partner. When his main supplier, a guy called John Hill, wouldn't stop making more and more of the drink, Frick did something about it. He made his own brand of whiskey and started calling it fireball. Then he had something created that he called the "distiller's license", which was just a fancy name for a state-issued liquor license. All of a sudden John Hill's business wasn't profitable enough for Frick anymore, so the ol' control freak had him arrested.

4) At this point people started drinking more of the stuff called fireball. They loved it, mainly because it tasted so good and was so easy to get. Henry Frick's company started making more of it, and by the 1880s it had become the number one selling American-made liquor.

5) A guy called Billy the Kid was killed with fireball. He was found dead with his own pistol in his hand,shot in the back of the head. Some people said it was a set-up, others said it was self-defense. What nobody questioned though, is John Younger's guilt. He and Billy the Kid had a stand-off for a few days. After the Kid was killed, Younger was lynched from a bridge by a mob of angry citizens.

6) During World War I, the U.S. government passed a law that banned the sale of all alcohol, including fireball, to people under 21.

7) After the ban, people started making fake alcohol that couldn't be detected with standard tests. One of these "bathtub" gins was called "morter's gin" after a man called Jameson Morter who created it. It tasted horrible, but still got people drunk. It was sometimes used in place of the real thing during World War I.

8) Another substitute for real booze during the war was "inflammable fluid". This stuff would get you really, REALLY drunk. It was made out of wood alcohol and some other stuff, and definitely not something you wanted to be around while it was being made.

9) By the 1920s, the American government realized that making alcohol illegal wasn't such a great idea, so they repealed the ban. By this time though, the American whiskey industry was already in trouble because people started making homemade booze out of sugar and fruit juice. They didn't want to pay for the real thing, so the number of jobs in the industry basically went down the drain.

10) At this point the term "fireball" in regard to whiskey just became a synonym for good quality spirits. It's still used in that way today.

Leaner creamer nutrition facts

 Imaginary leaner creamer nutrition facts 1) The average American consumes over 4,000 calories of sugar a day! That's more than the recommended daily intake for men and women combined! 2) Over 60% of all packaged foods contain some form of sweetener. (Pepsi, Coke, etc. are big offenders.) 3) In fact, Americans consume nearly twice as much sugar as they do fat. And that's not even counting added sugars like high fructose corn syrup or fruit juice concentrates. 4) When you consume sugar, it instantly goes into your bloodstream. Your body then turns it into a form of energy (called glucose). 5) Glucose is then used immediately for energy or stored in your muscles and liver ( glycogen) in the form of sugar alcohols like fructose and galactose which are later turned into glucose when your body needs it. Sugar causes your body to store fat! Because your muscles and other organs aren't getting the nutrients they need, your body starts storing fat to make up the difference. And bec...
