| Coca cola was originally green. Duck's quacks don't echo, and scientists can't figure out why. In Cinderella, the slippers wear originally made of fur, but this was changed by a translator.

While I can't attest to the first or third "fact" I can tell you it has been systematically proven that duck quacks DO echo, but a duck's quack sounds so much like an echo that often times we humans don't perceive them as separate sounds when we hear them. In case you are wondering where I got my information it was from the mythbusters, not scientists, but dedicated to the scientific method in all its glory.
This was tested by isolating a single quack in an echo proof room, and comparing it's sound pattern to that of a natural echo. Also when quacking in a very big echoey parking garage two human witnesses and a camera confirmed hearing the echo of the quacking of a couple of ducks.
Remember kids, always do your research!
