checked into an inn in the small town. The host was
captivated by her beauty and couldn't resist the urge to peek
into her room through the keyhole. The light inside the
bedroom was only made by a few candles and so he could
only see her navel. This pure and innocent vision was enough
to send him into an ecstasy that inspired him to create the
pasta resembling the abdominal orifice.

Venus, the Goddess of Love in Roman mythology (Aphrodite
in Greek mythology).

• During the early part of the 1910's, X was advertised as being
the "King of Beverages." In the 20's and 30’s, another slogan in
this time period was known as "Drink a Bite to Eat at 10, 2 and
4." New research had shown that people's energy level dropped
around 10:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. and so the company
used this information as a marketing tool, suggesting the drink
would increase one's energy level.
• X rolled out a marketing campaign in March 2008 promising a
"free soda" to "everyone in America" on one condition -- Axl
Rose, lead singer and frontman for Guns N' Roses, had to "finally
release his 17-year-in-the-making belabored
masterpiece, 'Chinese Democracy,' in 2008.”
