Knuckles is one of the series' most popular characters, although some have voiced disapproval of the Sonic series' extensive cast of characters and singled out Knuckles as ushering them in.[9]

Charles T. James developed a rifled projectile and rifling system. Modern authorities such as Warren Ripley and James Hazlett have suggested that the term "James rifle" only properly applies to 3.8 in (97 mm) bore field artillery pieces rifled to fire James' projectiles. They contend that the term does not apply to smoothbores that were later rifled to take the James projectiles in 3.67 in (93 mm) caliber or other calibers, and that those should instead be referred to as "Rifled 6 (or other) pounder", etc.[1][2]

There's a wikipedia article that's a huge tabular list of fictional vampires and facts about them and Count Chocula and the Count from Sesame Street both have entries. Count Chocula's weakness is becoming soggy in milk.

A screwdriver with apple juice instead of orange juice is an "Anita Bryant Cocktail".[9] Bryant was an American singer and spokeswoman for the Florida Citrus Commission during the 1960s and 1970s.[10] Starting in 1977, she became an anti-gay rights activist.[11] Because Bryant promoted orange juice, the gay community retaliated by boycotting it.[12] Gay bars across North America stopped serving screwdrivers[13] and invented this cocktail to replace it.[9] The sales and proceeds of the cocktail went to gay rights activists and helped fund their work against Bryant.[9] The campaign was ultimately successful as Bryant's activism damaged her musical and business career.[11][10] Her contract with the Florida Citrus Commission was left to expire in 1980 after they stated she was "worn out" as a spokesperson.[10][14] After that, gay bars started selling screwdrivers again.

A lot of the article, especially the more modern era information, is incredibly Eurocentric (maybe Eurasiancentric) and just barely touches on other cultures. I've added the {{Globalize|section}} tags to the sections that I feel are the worst offenders. -- Primium (talk) 04:49, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
