One hundred years is a very long time. When it is broken down, it is approximately 36,500 days (depending on leap years, of course), or 1,200 months, or 10 decades, or one century. To last for such a long period is a remarkable achievement that takes stamina, wit, flexibility, and resilience. It is also a feat worth mentioning, which is why we have come up with a list to celebrate those people and things hitting such a momentous milestone.
To create a list of 50 things turning 100 in 2021, Stacker looked at primary documents in historical records, pop charts, newspaper articles, and other matters of public record. This list includes animate and inanimate objects. You will find people, places, and things. It includes movies, poetry, companies, famous artwork, and scientific discoveries and even a few birthdays.

On March 31, 1921, the Dayton, Ohio-based cracker company Green & Green introduced the world to its new treat: a 1-by-1-inch cheese-based cracker.
The company was bought in 1932 by the Loose-Wiles Biscuit Co. (which turned into Sunshine Foods). Sunshine was bought by Keebler in 1996. Then, in 2001, Kellogg became the latest (and current) company to own the snack cracker.
A century later, there are more than 30 styles of Cheez-It.
Oh, by the way, it’s
not Cheez-Its there’s no “s” on the end. Please respect!
