Facts you made up

The makers "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" were succesfully sued in 2011 by a consumer group who stated that not only could they quite easily believe it wasn't butter, but it did in fact taste like "shite margarine".

The makers have been allowed to continue using the name, as "Shite Margarine" was ruled as potentially offensive to consumers. However, as part of the ruling, if you look at the bottom of the pack, in tiny writing, each packet says:

"Notice - You may actually very well believe it's not butter".

After winning gold in the 1965 Summer Olympics, high-jumper Dick Robertson changed his name by deed poll to Dick Fosbury, after the Fosbury Flop, a jumping technique invented in Fosbury, Wiltshire, where leaning backwards was used to clear the high bars.

The film Casablanca was originally made in the Summer of 1939, entitled "Pasadena". Initially the film was a mess, the producers hated it and distributors refused to screen it. After the outbreak of World War II the scenes were reordered and the settings altered to turn the film into a wartime love story. Every mention of the title is dubbed.
