Tennessee - "America at its Best", what a great place to live. Whether you are from Rutherford County or Shelby County there is something for everyone to be proud of. The invention of cotton candy, what could be better than that? It was invented by William Morrison and John C Wharton in 1897. they invented a device that heated sugar as it was spinning in a bowl that had tiny holes in it. They originally called it "Fairy Floss" we are all grateful for their creative minds and sweet tooth's. Next in our line up of Tennessee inventions is the Dempster dumpster, invented in Knoxville, TX it was designed to aide in the pick up of materials for construction materials to make it easier to haul them away. The idea quickly turned into the first garbage collection system in America. Due to this innovative man, containers used to throw away your garbage in are called "Dumpsters" world-wide. Good job!
Another item that got at least a partial beginning in Tennessee is the atomic bomb, Albert Einstein wrote to President Franklin Roosevelt and told him that Nazi Germany was trying to purify uranium-235 which could be used to create an atomic bomb. The facility in Oak Ridge was responsible or isolating the uranium required for the bomb. This was a secret undertaking.
