Yureka
The Diners Club Card, which debuted in 1950, was inspired a year earlier by an “a-ha”
moment when a customer named Frank McNamara forgot his wallet while attending a business
dinner at New York’s Major’s Cabin Grill. Months later, McNamara and his partner, Ralph
Schneider, returned to the restaurant with a small cardboard card and a proposal that resulted in
theDiners Club Card.

Used mainly for travel and entertainment, the DinersClub Card claims the title of the first
credit card in widespread use. Although its purchases were made on credit, Diners Club was
technically a charge card, meaning the bill had to be paid in full at the end of each month. By
1951, Diners Club had 20,000 cardholders.

The earliest recorded face mask-like objects in history date to the 6th century BC. Some
cemetery/graveyard
images of people wearing cloth over their mouths were found on the doors of Persian tombs. In
China, a kind of scarf woven with silk and gold threads from the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368) is
believed to be the earliest item in China that is similar to today's face mask.

According to The Travels of Marco Polo, written by an Italian who once traveled in China in
Yuan Dynasty(1279-1368), servants who served the emperor during meals needed to wear silk
scarves to cover their mouths and noses. It was believed that the silk scarves would keep the
servants' breath from impacting the smell and taste of the food.

In English, the word “salad” first appeared in the14th century. Vegetables were
เกลือ
seasoned with brine (a solution of salt in water) during Roman times. The phrase “salad days”,
meaning a “time of youthful inexperience”, was first recorded by Shakespeare in 1606, while the
use of salad bar, referring to a buffet-style serving of salad ingredients, first appeared in
American English in the 1960s.

In his 1699 book, John Evelyn attempted with little success to encourage his fellow
Britons to eat fresh salad greens. Mary, Queen of Scots, ate boiled celery root over greens
covered with creamy mustard dressing, and slices of hard-boiled eggs.

1650
Oil used on salads can be found in the mid-17th-century colony of New Netherland (later
called New York, New Jersey and Delaware). In a 1665 letter to the Director of New Netherland
from the Island of Curaçao: “I request most amicably that your honor be pleased to send me
seed of every sort, such as cabbage, carrots, lettuce, parsley, etc. for none can be acquired here
and I know that your honor has plenty…”.

Salad may be sold in supermarkets, at restaurants and at fast food chains. Salad restaurants
earned more than$300 million in 2014. At-home salad consumption has risen since 2010, but is
moving away from freshly-chopped lettuce and toward bagged greens and salad kits, with bag
sales expected to reach $7 billion per year by 2022.
