Reply to comment by DAM5150 in TIL that it is a common misconception that the reflection of the sky is the sole reason bodies of water appear blue. It is primarily because water absorbs colours in the red part of the light spectrum. by monkey-tennis
What??? Do you think the sky is green in the middle of the Mongolian steps, or yellow in the Sahara?
Sky is blue because our atmosphere scatters the light from the sun, and the colour depends on the angle, hence why on sun rise and sun set is yellow/orange ish

Reply to TIL that the Fritos Company began when Charles Doolin bought a corn chip recipe, ricer, and 19 retail accounts from a corn chip maker for $100, which Doolin borrowed from his mother. His mother's kitchen was the first office of the Frito Company, which had a capacity of 10 lb of chips daily. by jdward01
