I had to look up the sandwich thing. Nope, these are all true, meticulously explained as the program progresses, sources quoted, everything.

For bigger-pictures examples of this, I think you’re looking for the TV series, Connections, hosted by James Burke. It’s old but still VERY good.
Each episode started with James Burke showing you something cool, and tracing how it got here/got that way, often in unusual circumstances.
“I’m standing next to a nuclear reactor. This single building generates power for the city below, 50,000 people. And today every one of them would be sitting in the dark, or at a pitiful small fireplace, if it weren’t for an Italian peasant whose mother forbade him to play the lute, in 1032.”

I don’t understand why the name of the company is redacted. They chose to send this letter, let 'em own it.

Get your coworkers to join you in using the nearest fast food restaurant whenever you need to use the restroom. When management sees everyone constantly cycling through the front door, they may get a clue.

OR, and hear me out, throw nails in neighbor’s face. Offer to drive neighbor to the ED, then say, “Aw, I can’t. I’m blocked in.”
- Comment on Google Assistant tries to pull the "song name" out of anywhere instead of just identifying it by sound 8 months ago:
Yeah, Assistant blows much of the time:
“Hey Google. What’s two plus two?”
“Sorry, I don’t understand. But I found something similar. Would you like to know what two plus two is?”
“Yes, dammit!”
“On the website Add A Couple of Numbers for the Hell of It, they say, two plus two is four. Would you like a little more context?”
“No!!!”
“Alright. I’m here to help.”
Arrgh.
