A thrilling time-travel adventure of 9th June in history! From the first food vending machines and rocket-powered planes to the debut of Donald Duck and Norway’s WWII surrender.
Dear Students,
Fasten your seatbelts, pack a sandwich (or maybe grab one from a vending machine!), and get ready to blast off into the past! Let’s take a whirlwind ride through some amazing moments in history that all happened on one magical day — 9th June !
🥪 1902 – The World’s First “Food-o-Matic”!
Imagine a restaurant where there’s no waiter, no menu, and no shouting “Order up!” Instead, you walk up to a wall of shiny little windows, pop in a coin, and voilà! — your food appears like magic. That’s exactly what happened in Philadelphia on 9th June, 1902. The first Automat restaurant opened its doors, serving food through vending machines. It was like a giant lunchbox meets a robot chef. Pretty cool, right?
🚀 1931 – Rockets Take Flight!
Now hold on to your caps — because we’re rocketing into the skies! On 9th June, 1931, a super-smart inventor named Robert Goddard patented the very first design for a rocket-powered airplane. These amazing aircraft don’t use regular engines — they use rockets! Zooming through the sky at lightning speed, they became the inspiration behind space travel, zooming high into the sky (and sometimes almost into space!). If you’ve ever dreamed of being an astronaut or flying faster than a cheetah on roller-skates, you’ve got Mr Goddard to thank!
🦆 1934 – Make Way for Donald Duck!
What’s loud, grumpy, wears a sailor hat, and waddled into our hearts in 1934? That’s right — Donald Duck! He made his very first appearance in a cartoon called The Wise Little Hen, on 9th June, and oh boy, did he make an entrance. Trying to avoid farm chores by pretending to be sick? Classic Donald! He quacked, he squawked, and he’s been a Disney legend ever since. Just don’t ask him to do the dishes…
🌍 1940 – A Sad Chapter in World History
