We have the 365 Amazing Trivia Facts calendar at my office, featuring a trivia question every day. So far this year I have correctly answered two. One was a Star Trek question. The other asked what the word “mondegreen” means.
Today’s question read, “What was unique – and controversial – about the doll Growing Up Skipper introduced by Mattel in 1975?”
Answer: “When her left arm was turned, she grew taller and developed small breasts and a narrower waistline. Her growth was reversed when her arm was turned in the opposite direction.”
Sure it’s disturbing, but I bet more boys started playing with dolls in 1975 than any other year in history.
