How did laziness result in the invention of the dishwasher? Which discovery made the milkshake possible? Which king’s fancy for his mistress inspired the first elevator? You’ll find out the answers to these questions — as well as dozens more surrounding commonly used inventions — in Harry Oliver’s pop-culture treasure trove, BUBBLE GUM AND HULA HOOPS: THE ORIGIN OF OBJECTS IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES.
We have three copies to give away, going to:
• Page Inman of Fairview, N.C.
• Kimberly Shuman of Orange, Calif.
• Frankie Marino of San Diego, Calif.

Sweet!! Thank you. I’m a hula hooper and an avid reader, so this’ll be a kick ass addition to the bookshelf.
I love y’alls website. Keep up the good work.
