Every weekday about 3:25pm, Adam shares some facts and trivia in a fun little segment called Believe it or No (the Minnesotan version, you could say, of Ripley's Believe it or Not!).

Here are this past week's fun facts and trivia from Believe it or No:

• The first fast food burger chain in the United States was . . . White Castle.  It was established in 1921 – over 30 years before Mcdonalds -- and was the first chain to have every store make its food in one standard way so it would look and taste the same everywhere. (Source: Consumerist.com)
