Saturday's Little Known Facts #5

Only 1 is true.

- The Rocket Dancers graced the stage of Radio Music City Hall for years. However as more and more members went overseas to fight on WWII, the dancers' wives began to fill in. Audiences raved about the new "Rockette" dancers high-kicking routine, and they became a mainstay, permanently replacing their husbands even after their return from the war.

-Many of the details associated with Santa Claus were invented for a Coca Cola advertising campaign, in an effort to increase sales in the winter months.
