Which are some of the popular businesses that follow the Uber for X model
Uber debuted 11 years ago in March 2009 with the mission to make people embrace the concept of on-demand ride services. In other words, it paved the way for ride-hailing business to thrive greatly.

What 7UP was REALLY Meant for is Shocking!
The famous and popular soda currently named 7UP was created 2 weeks before the Wall Street crash of 1929. The insane fact about the soda which was then called “Bib- Label Lithiated Lemon Lime soda” is that one of its 7 ingredients was lithium. In 1948 its name was shortened to just 7UP. The manufacturers marketed it as a mood stabilizing drink. It was actually patented as a mood stabilizing medicine product. Crazy I know but the story and origin gets more unbelievable.

Laughing Out Loud
You know that thing your parents threatened you with as a kid? Running away squealing at the sight of those wiggling fingers when you refused to clean up your toys or do some other mundane task our young, imaginative toddler minds dismissed. Maybe the only reason was to get you to squeal and run away, enticing a fun game of chase.

The Key to Reaching Television Nirvana
I know this may be hard for you to believe, but I, a writer, have a problem finishing things. It has plagued my life from an early age. When I first started writing stories I would conjure these huge, fantastical worlds, spread over page upon page of scrawl, displaying imagination far beyond my single figure age…until the ending. Looking back, I don’t know how much I was affected by 80’s popular culture, but every story I wrote, no matter how complex or involved, ended in the same variation of ‘Then they woke up and it was all a dream.’

Jumping in & out of a Lucid Dream
Have you ever experienced the wind in your hair as you sail on a yacht through the Caribbean Sea? Sun beating down upon you as you glide through the calm waters, the top sail is taut & the rigging is holding, all is well until you realize you’ve been sailing in a circle. It’s only made worse when you see the Flying Dutchman quickly approaching your yacht – oh wait, it’s an inflatable rubber dingy now and your oar is the length of a school ruler. It’s only made worse when your pet dog has jumped off & is swimming towards a pink fin, b-lining it straight towards you. You paddle madly only to find that you are moving nowhere, stuck in a gravitational pull which confuses & frightens you at the same time. The answer – you are dreaming, well actually, you were as you’ve awoken to a sweaty-brow with all the bed sheets on the other side of the bed.
