In 1996 Sony tried to push another character called Parappa The Rapper as their new mascot after Crash Bandicoot for the playstation 1.
He is still huge in Japan, has his own anime and whole stores dedicated to him with merch of everything from t-shirts to even toasters, but he did not get that big outside of Japan.

I remember Parappa The Rapper!

Anywayyyy my fun fact is that there were NEVER only 151 Pokémon - in the very first episode we see Ho-Oh which is #250. Around 190 were originally made for Gen 1, which was then cut down to allow for a bigger 2nd release

Pugs were bred in China originally to have Chinese symbol for prince on their heads, which is why they got all them smoshy wrinkles.

Candyfloss (aka. Cotton Candy) was invented by a dentist.

Dentist William Morrison and confectioner John C. Wharton invented machine-spun candyfloss/cotton candy in 1897.
It was first introduced at the 1904 World's Fair as "Fairy Floss." Then, another dentist, Josef Lascaux, reinvented the machine in 1921.
He came up with the name "cotton candy," which replaced "fairy floss."
