President Harry S. Truman decided to completely renovate the White House. The structure was gutted and rebuilt from the inside. And it was all done in secret. Truman and his family moved into Blair House, which is right across the street from the presidential mansion.
The pickle research was done to produce a less sodium (salt) laden kosher-style dill, which would be healthier. Also $227,000 amounts to ten new toilets in a new government building.

Would you be “in a pickle” if the research didn’t achieve any worthwhile results?
