[Answer] What was Led Zeppelin's original name?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What was Led Zeppelin's original name?"



...Before taking the name Led Zeppelin, the group performed briefly as The New Yardbirds in 1968. Guitarist Jimmy Page formed the band after the breakup of The Yardbirds and initially used the temporary name to fulfill remaining performance obligations. Soon after, the band adopted the name Led Zeppelin — inspired by a joke that their music would go over “like a lead balloon” — and went on to become one of the most influential and celebrated rock bands of all time. Their explosive blend of blues, hard rock, and mysticism reshaped the sound of modern rock and helped define an entire era of music.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Before pivoting to chewing gum, what product did the Wrigley Company originally sell?"



...The Wrigley Company, best known today for iconic gum brands like Juicy Fruit, Spearmint, and Doublemint, didn’t begin in the confectionery world at all. When William Wrigley Jr. founded the company in 1891, his original business was selling soap, and he included chewing gum as a promotional giveaway to help attract customers. The gum soon proved far more popular than the soap itself, prompting Wrigley to shift entirely into gum—a pivot that transformed the company into one of the most recognizable names in American consumer history.

[Answer] Which historical leader is traditionally represented by the King of Hearts in playing cards?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which historical leader is traditionally represented by the King of Hearts in playing cards?"



...In traditional playing card symbolism, the King of Hearts represents Charlemagne, the powerful medieval ruler who united much of Western Europe and became the first Holy Roman Emperor. The four kings in a standard deck have long been linked to great monarchs of history, and Charlemagne’s legacy of leadership, conquest, and empire-building made him the fitting choice for the King of Hearts. His depiction appears to show him plunging a sword into his own head, a result of centuries of design changes that earned him the nickname the “suicide king.”
