What's the story & what were N.A.S.A using it for, before the average citizen had access?
What we now know as Telfon, was first created by NASA when they were trying to cross over into an alternative reality in 1997.
After a night of drinking way too much Jolt Cola the nerd herd watched an episode of Sliders and decided to see if they could turn science fiction into science fact.
They formed a quarum and video conferenced on the subject and at the end of this brainstorming session, it was decided by some of the brightest minds (with the worst fashion sense) in the known universe that the only way to cross over to an alternate reality would be by creating what they called "A sub-particle logic anomaly".
To explain this in lamens terms, this simply meant that they had to create something that existed, and yet, at the same time did not exist.
The task to create this..... anomaly, they turned to Dr Fred Inklestein of Illinois.
He spent a few months working feverishly on his new invention and after this time called the herd back together....
He presented his great invention in the great hall at the NASA institute of applied metaphysics at Cape Cenaveral.
Thats right, the anomaly was..........
A non-stick stick.........
(Upon completion of the first ever non-stick stick Fred was promptly sucked into a rip in the fabric of the universe and was never seen again. NASA now sells teflon with the strickt caution to manufacturers that they never ever ever coat a stick with it...)
Oh, and the only thing that sticks teflon to anything is superglue..... because nothing else is super enough to do the job...
