MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are decaf coffee pots always orange?

If you’re a decaf coffee drinker you’re probably used to looking for that recognizable orange coffee pot whenever you’re at a restaurant, diner, coffee shop, or in line at Dunkin’. But why is it orange?

It actually started back in 1923 as a marketing strategy by the coffee company, Sanka. They were the first ones to make decaf coffee and the label on the package was that bright orange shade. To promote their brand the started sending out orange coffeepots to coffee shops and restaurants as branding. Then it just stuck ever since.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why is Inauguration Day on January 20th?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why is Inauguration Day on January 20th?

Today Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States. But why is Inauguration Day always on January 20th?

It always hasn’t been that way. George Washington actually took the oath of office in the springtime on April 30, 1789. Back in the 19th century, the Constitution was written to make March 4th Inauguration Day. Then in 1933, the ratification of the 20th Amendment changed the date and made it so the new president and the vice president would instead be sworn in at noon on Jan. 20. This would also be when the previous president’s term would end.
