Myth-bust from this episode: the famous "Colgate Beef Lasagna" image isn't real. Colgate did test frozen chicken and crabmeat entrees in 1964, though. Ew. So the truth is a toothpaste company selling frozen crab dinners, which isn't any better.

Six separate inputs for a verification code? Nah. <wa-otp-input> acts as one form control and supports paste and constraint validation. Web Awesome and done.

We’re revamping the Icon Wizard gallery so you’ll soon have an easier way to share your creations with the Font Awesome community. Keep your eyes peeled! 👀

No worries! The Icon Wizard gallery has actually been updated now that the contest is over, so new icons can’t be submitted. You can still hit "Share" → "Copy Link" to share yours! To help get it in our library someday, submit an Icon Request & let the community vote: fontawesome.com/leaderboard/...

👋 @vazdimet.com , Sorry you haven't found the right Bi/Pan icon yet! Two things I would suggest: → Use the Icon Wizard to create your own icon & upload it to the gallery for others to use! → Or submit an Icon Request on GitHub so our community can vote and keep it on our radar for future releases!

The guy who invented it, Norm Cox, didn't even know it was called a "hamburger icon" until someone called to interview him about it in 2013. He'd been sitting on one of the most-used UI symbols in the world without even knowing its nickname. 🤣

The hamburger menu started as a 1981 Xerox screen-space hack. Users didn't get it. Years later, researchers said it was bad UX. It won anyway. So with true FA-flair, we made ours an actual burger. 🍔 Watch → youtu.be/rkZ6ZfxWVIU?si=IccGg... Listen → www.podcastawesome.com/209285...

Susan Kare designed the original Mac's wait cursor concepts with a $2.50 sketchbook and a 32x32 pixel grid. Same method she used for the floppy disk save icon. She is quietly responsible for a shocking amount of what you've stared at while a computer thinks.
