O.J. Simpson is the former spokesperson for Hertz Rental Cars. For more than a decade, Simpson appeared in commercials running through airports, serving as an embodiment of speed. The tagline of the commercials was "The Superstar in a rent-a-car." Hertz tapped Simpson to be their spokesman in 1975, when they wanted to emphasize the speed of their service to their audience of primarily white businessmen. The commercials increased Hertz's sales and Simpson remained the spokesperson until his 1994 trial.
An Arnold Palmer is a beverage of iced tea and lemonade named after American golfer Arnold Palmer. According to Arnold Palmer, he was in the habit of drinking iced tea with lemonade at home, and in 1960, at the U.S. Open at the Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver, he ordered the non-alcoholic drink at the bar. A woman sitting nearby overheard him and ordered "that Palmer drink," thus giving the beverage its name. The drink has been sold under the Arnold Palmer name by Innovative Flavors since 2001, with Palmer's picture and signature on the bottle.
While you might be familiar with golf terms like birdie (one under par), eagle (two under par), and the even rarer albatross (three under par), there exists one remarkable shot that remains incredibly elusive and has been seldom witnessed. Aptly named after the largest bird of prey, a "condor" refers to a hole-in-one on a par-5 hole, resulting in a score of four under par. Achieving a condor on the golf course is one of the rarest occurrences in the sport. In fact, the feat is so rare that it has only happened six times in golf's history.
