Fun fact: "ups" is Danish for "oops".

Which is probably part of the reason why the parcel service only started operating here a few years ago..

you can add this fun fact to your local giggles for UPS

The company UPS started in Seattle during the Alaskan gold rush days to distribute opium.

TIL UPS is still trying to break into markets.

Reminds me of how the Chevy Nova failed miserably in Mexico because it sounds like “no vas” which means “doesn’t move.”
