U.S. & World History – A little known fact, is there a very popular cartoon from the 1970s was inspired by a Japanese cookie. The lead character love the cookie so much, that he would drive his car really fast to any store that sold them and buy them all. But after the cartoon gained very little popularity, the story line was changed and the lead character drove a specially built car that competed against other cars going around a track. The title of the show was later changed, but it was originally called “Speed Wafer”.
