Answer: "The Star-Spangled Banner" started as a poem, written by Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812. The stanzas recount the British attack on Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore in 1814. It’s a song you have heard countless times – and you can probably recite it by heart. But do you know what the words mean? The line "Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming" suggests that the stars and stripes of the US flag could be seen over the ramparts despite the bombardment of the British warships. A rampart is a barricade built to protect a castle or fort, such as Fort McHenry in this case.

Timex is a watch company with roots that date back to 1854 and the Waterbury Clock Company. To date, Timex has sold over one billion watches. But it was in the 1950s that the brand established itself, with its celebrity-assisted, “torture test” advertising, using the famous line, “It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.” They showed Timex watches being subject to various kinds of “torture tests” to demonstrate their durability, shock resistance, and superior waterproofing. By the end of the 1950s, one out of every three watches bought in the U.S. was a Timex.
(Mine certainly did! It went through a washing machine cycle, and was fine. Just wet, but it dried!)
