“Peppermint Pez Name….Periodically Elements From The Periodic Table…&…Racing A Manatee!”

Pez candies get their name from the German word Pfefferminz, which means peppermint . . . since that was the original flavor.

Our bodies contain 60 of the 118 elements on the periodic table, or about 51%.  But there are only large quantities of six of them:  Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.

Michael Phelps swims slower than a manatee.  Yes, those big, plump “sea cows.”  Phelps’ top swimming speed is six miles per hour.  Manatees can top out at 20 miles per hour if they want to.
