“Accidental Nachos…Giving In To The Mispronunciation…Elephants Smell!”

Nachos are called nachos after their inventor, Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya, who was the host at a Mexican restaurant called the Victory Club. One night in 1943, some U.S. Army wives came in late, but the chef had already left.  So Nacho went into the kitchen to throw something together for them.  It was, essentially, nachos as we know them.  The dish was so popular with the women and other guests, that it was eventually put on the menu.

The word “apron” was originally “napron.”  But when people would say, “a napron,” most people would hear, “an apron” . . . so eventually it just became “apron.”

Elephants have more genes related to smell than any other animal.  They have five times more scent genes than humans . . . and twice as many as dogs.
