The Granny Smith apple was discovered growing by a creek at the Ryde, New South Wales property of a Mrs Smith, who was also known as 'Granny' Smith. The seedling had grown from some rotting apples that were dumped there, and this particular seedling was later found growing and producing the large green apples so well-known today.
Another source states that the Granny Smith apple developed around 1865 from a chance seedling propagated by Maria Ann Smith, nicknamed "Granny Smith" - hence the name of the apple. The Granny Smith apple came about when "Granny Smith" discovered a seedling apple, which had developed from the remains of some French crab apples grown in Tasmania, growing by a creek on her farm. It wasn't commercially developed in Granny Smith's own lifetime, but the apple continued to be cultivated by local orchardists.

What do Dolly Parton's nieces and nephews call her?
While most simply call her Aunt Dolly, there is a twist. When Dolly and her husband got their large house in Nashville, five of Dolly's younger siblings moved in with them. When those siblings had kids, everyone came up with the idea that they would call Dolly 'Aunt Granny' and her husband 'Uncle Peepaw', as they felt they were more like grandparents.

Why do people call Jolly Ranchers wine candy?
Back in the day when penny candy was two pieces of candy for one cent, jolly ranchers "wine candy" only came in a few flavors like green apple, grape, and cherry. if you looked at the candy near a light it looked similar to the colors of bottled wine, grape, cherry, and a yellowish clear version of green apple. Thus when someone was buying penny candy at the store when there was a lot of candy to chose from and you did not know the name of the candy but, you tried to describe the candy to the person that was selling it, it was often stated the one that looks like wine flavors,...thus wine candy.
