Betty White is, like, really old. Today she turns 99 years old! One of the funniest and usually more pleasant celebrities that I know of… Hopefully she can appreciate the fun in this list.

Here are a bunch of things that aren’t even as a old as 99-year-old Betty White, born in 1922:

  • sliced bread (introduced in 1928)
  • Scotch tape (invented in 1930)
  • color television (happened in 1950)
  • Slinky toys (1943)
  • bubble gum (1928)
  • LSD (created in 1938)
  • Barbie (1959)
  • Lego (1958)
  • Mount Rushmore (1927)
  • nylon bristle toothbrushes (1938)
  • car radios (1930)
  • aerosol spray cans (1941)
  • Silly Putty (1943)
  • Super Glue (1951)
  • birth control pills (1954)

Just for fun… Something that’s actually older than Betty White: Band-Aids, created in 1920. Also, dirt. She is NOT older than dirt.
