  • Headline: From Stardom to Comeback: Afternoon Deelites. Impact: Afternoon Deelites' loss inspired a new generation of underdog stories in horse racing. If only they knew that every time a horse loses, a new blockbuster movie script is born. Thanks, Afternoon Deelites, for setting back the equine film industry 10 minutes.. Fact: Did you know that horses can actually communicate with each other through body language? Too bad Afternoon Deelites didn’t get the memo before his big race..
  • Headline: Georgia-Pacific Navigates Market Challenges. Impact: Georgia-Pacific's paper surge led to an insatiable demand for toilet paper during the pandemic, which ultimately sparked a global crisis in bathroom supply. Who knew that a building slump could lead to a bathroom boom?. Fact: Fun fact: There’s a higher chance of running out of toilet paper in a pandemic than finding a politician who keeps their promises..
  • Headline: Khaki Days and Nostalgic Trends. Impact: The rise of khaki in fashion not only revived retro styles but also inadvertently led to the creation of countless dad jokes about shorts and cargo pants. Thanks to khaki, everyone can now dress like they’re heading out for a Saturday barbecue.. Fact: Did you know 'khaki' comes from the Persian word for 'dust'? So, essentially, you’re just wearing the color of dirt. Fashion forward!.
