John McCain is older than . . .

John McCain is older than Pop-Tarts! That's right, he's that old. I heard in on NPR which was playing part of a Youtube piece so it must be true with sourcing like that.

There were a number of things that the piece listed John McCain being older than. Oddly, the Pop-Tart one was the one that resonated with me.

But, then I started thinking: Am I older than Pop-Tarts?

How old are Poptarts? I figured Pop-Tarts are about as old as toasters.

Toasters are probably about as old as electricity. I know I'm not older than electricity. So, I'm not older than PopTarts.

But, this raises the question: Is John McCain older than electricity?

Of course, there is a webpage.

The truth rears its ugly head: According to Wikipedia, I am older than Pop-Tarts. Pop-Tarts were introduced in 1963. I was introduced in 1961. Sometimes I hate the internet.
