Of course, you can ask your Googlies questions here on our site, or answer questions posed by others. Remember, every question may seem simple at first glance, but the answers are often unexpected. Before you answer, make sure to think deeply and carefully.
Ogilvy's new campaign for Google Search, “Googlies on Google,” reimagines online searches, creating an engaging and curiosity-driven experience. By introducing playful, surprising questions, this campaign gamifies search, blending curiosity with interactivity to make learning fun and engaging. Over a period of six weeks, users encounter 50 unique “Googlies”—questions that may seem obvious but carry surprising insights.
“Googlies” can pop up anywhere—from social media and TV to everyday items, transforming ordinary moments into delightful discoveries. By exploring these Googlies, users engage with the joy of learning in unexpected ways. Sukesh Nayak, Chief Creative Officer at Ogilvy India, describes it as turning a simple search into an adventure driven by curiosity and discovery.
This campaign takes search beyond information-gathering, inviting users to reconnect with the wonder of exploration. From groceries to the city streets, every Googly is a chance to uncover something new. Google’s latest endeavor emphasizes that curiosity is at the heart of discovery, turning each search into a playful adventure.
Yes, you are slightly taller in the morning. While you sleep, your spine decompresses because it is not under the pressure of gravity, allowing the vertebrae to spread slightly apart. This decompression effect makes you a little taller when you wake up, but your height gradually decreases as the spine compresses again throughout the day.
Interestingly, the "black box" on an airplane is actually bright orange. This is a safety measure, making it easier to spot in case of a crash. The high-visibility orange color, often with reflective tape, helps rescue teams locate it quickly in various terrains and weather conditions.
Surprisingly, hot water can freeze faster than cold water under certain conditions. This phenomenon, known as the Mpemba effect, remains a subject of scientific investigation. Factors like evaporation, convection currents, and the properties of the container can contribute to this unusual effect.
Peanuts are technically legumes, not true nuts. They belong to the same family as beans and peas and grow underground, unlike tree nuts like almonds and walnuts. Despite their name, they share more botanical characteristics with legumes than with nuts.
No, bulls are not specifically angry at the color red. In fact, bulls are red-green colorblind and cannot perceive the color red. Their aggressive reaction in bullfights is a response to the movement of the matador's cape, not its color.
The word "Almari" originates from Portuguese, where it means "cupboard" or "wardrobe." The term was adopted in several South Asian languages due to Portuguese influence in the region and is commonly used to refer to storage furniture.
The hottest part of a flame is typically blue, indicating complete combustion at a high temperature. Blue flames occur when there is an optimal balance of fuel and oxygen, allowing for the highest temperature, often seen in gas stoves or Bunsen burners.
Contrary to popular belief, camels do not store water in their humps. Their humps store fat, which they can metabolize for energy when food is scarce. Camels conserve water through specialized physiology, such as highly efficient kidneys and the ability to tolerate dehydration.
Yes, it’s possible to breathe through both your nose and mouth at the same time. This is actually quite common when people are trying to maximize airflow, like during intense exercise.
No, the idea that goldfish have a 3-second memory is a myth. Research has shown that goldfish can remember things for months, such as recognizing feeding times and even simple training routines.
No, shaving does not change the thickness, color, or growth rate of hair. It may seem thicker initially because shaving cuts hair at a blunt angle, but the natural texture remains unchanged.
Yes, lightning can strike the same place multiple times, especially in tall, isolated structures like skyscrapers and trees. The Empire State Building, for example, is struck by lightning around 20 times per year.
No, sound cannot travel in space as there is no atmosphere to carry sound waves. Space is a vacuum, which means sound waves have no medium to travel through, making it silent.
No, we cannot directly sense Earth's rotation because everything around us, including the atmosphere, is moving at the same constant speed. This makes the motion undetectable to our senses.
No, cracking your knuckles does not cause arthritis. The sound is caused by the collapse of bubbles in the joint fluid, and there’s no evidence linking it to arthritis.
Yes, plants can communicate through chemical signals. Some plants release chemicals to warn neighboring plants of threats like pests, triggering defensive mechanisms in those plants.
Yes, drinking water upside-down can sometimes help cure hiccups by distracting the diaphragm and resetting its rhythm, though this doesn't work for everyone.
Surprisingly, diamonds are not as rare as they are marketed to be. Large companies control the supply to maintain the illusion of rarity and keep prices high.
Yes, onions release a sulfuric gas that reacts with moisture in your eyes to form sulfuric acid, causing irritation and tears even without touching your eyes.
No, ostriches don’t bury their heads in the sand. When threatened, they may lay their heads close to the ground to blend in, but they don’t actually bury them.
No, the Great Wall is generally not visible from space without aid, as it blends in with the natural terrain and is too narrow to be seen by the naked eye from such a distance.
Actually, bananas grow on large herbaceous plants, not trees. The “banana plant” has a stem that looks tree-like but is technically a pseudostem.
Yes, people can be struck by lightning multiple times. Roy Sullivan, a park ranger, was struck seven times in his life, setting a record.
No, brain scans show that nearly all parts of the brain have some level of activity, even while at rest. The “10% myth” is simply a misconception.
Pure water actually doesn’t conduct electricity. It’s the impurities, like dissolved minerals, that make water a good conductor.
No, you can’t see your reflection in total darkness, as reflections depend on light bouncing off objects, including mirrors.
No, the “ocean sound” is actually ambient noise amplified by the shell’s shape, which causes the sound to resonate like waves.
Yes, chocolate contains theobromine, which can be toxic in very high amounts to humans as well, though we would need to consume a large quantity for serious harm.
