How to write Sizzling Starts - Informative

Even in an informative piece of writing, a Sizzling Start has to make the reader curious/challenged/fascinated and want to know more.

Here are some great examples!

• Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 1/10 of a calorie
• Polar bears are left handed
• The can opener was invented 48 years after the can
• Metal shrinks when it is cold, thus the Eiffel Tower is 6 inches shorter in winter.
