Wikipedia Adventures

All debate on how reliable it is aside, I love Wikipedia. As I had just downed two, I decided to look up Nyquil. The page for it is fairly boring, but it led me to the Proctor & Gamble (the company that produces Nyquil) page. I figured the history of such a huge company would be kinda interesting. From there I found out where a popular phrase comes from. "Soap opera." The term was coined to refer to shows on the radio that were sponsored by Proctor & Gamble, who, at that point, mostly made soap. Funny where bored link clicking can lead you.
