Over the years, March has been a busy month, especially for all things Pop-Culture. From movie releases to classic toy production to car company milestones, March in the late 1800s and early 1900s has given us some of the greatest inventions of all time. I have picked out some of the most iconic moments that were super interesting to me, but check out a full list here.
I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s, so learning about some of the coolest moments of my childhood was super fun, such as seeing that both The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Hannah Montana both premiered in March, but a year apart and seeing that my favorite streaming site, Hulu, has been operating online since 2008. Or now knowing that we can acceptably use the initials “O.K.” as a shortening of “Okay” all thanks to March 23, 1839. Check out the list below of 10 awesome things that are now in existence because of many March months throughout time.
- March 12, 1894: Coca Cola Bottles were sold to the public for the first time in Vicksburg, Mississippi.
- March 7, 1933: Monopoly was created for us all to start playing, have a good time, get extremely frustrated, and quit.
- March 1, 1937: The original King Kong was released on film at New York’s Radio City Music Hall.
- March 6, 1950: Silly Putty was introduced to the world and parents mourned for their clean floors, walls, and ceilings- or really anything that kids could get Silly Putty to stick to.
- March 16, 1968: General Motors produced its 100 millionth automobile. What was the lucky car? The Oldsmobile Toronado
- March 10, 1978: The Incredible Hulk appeared on CBS for the first time. The original hulk, not the mean-green Mark Ruffalo version we have today.
- March 10, 1983: For the first time ever, the world got a glimpse of Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean music video on MTV.
- March 1, 1995: The silly-named search engine Yahoo! was incorporated.

- March 21, 2006: Twitter was founded and the world would soon know how to speak in only 140 characters.
This blog was so fun and all the facts were so cool. It makes me wonder about the other months and what we can thank them for. What did you think? Did you learn anything new or interesting? Tell me in the comments below.
Until next time.
