  • Magic Johnson has always been HIV-positive
  • Chocolate chip cookie dough has always been an ice cream flavor
  • Rap music has always been main stream
  • Bobby Cox has always managed the Atlanta Braves
  • McDonald’s has always served Happy Meals in China
  • There’s always been a Cartoon Network
  • The European Union has always existed
  • Tattoos have always been chic
