If you have “liked” our page on Facebook, then you probably already know about our awesome Tuesday Trivia competition that takes place (almost) every week. If not, be sure to check inside the newsletter for directions explaining how to play. Because our clients love these weekly trivia questions, we’ve decided to help you expand your knowledge with some fun, Thanksgiving-themed facts. NO TURKEY? Most historians agree that turkey wasn’t served at the first Thanksgiving. What was on the menu? Deer or venison, ducks, geese, oysters, lobster, eel, and fish. These early feasters probably also ate pumpkins but no pumpkin pies. They wouldn’t have eaten mashed potatoes or cranberry relish, but they likely picked some fresh cranberries. SPACE DINNERS Many scientists disagree about the accuracy of this fact, but allegedly, after Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin returned to the Apollo 11 after their stroll on the moon, they shared a festive meal together: foil packets filled with roasted turkey. A MILLION-DOLLAR IDEA Approximately 50 years ago, Campbell’s came up with their famous green bean casserole, which is now a Thanksgiving
staple we all know and love. They printed the recipe, which called for their cream of mushroom soup, to perfect the taste. Now the company sells $20 million of this type of soup every year! EAGLE VS. TURKEY In January of 1794, Benjamin Franklin wrote a letter to his daughter, Sarah, expressing his distaste for the eagle being selected as the country’s national symbol. He wrote that the eagle was “a bird of bad moral character” because it will often steal food from fishing hawks. Franklin called the turkey “a much more respectable bird” and “a true original native of America.” A DANGEROUS TRADITION Today, deep-fried food is almost as stereotypically American as apple pie. It’s no surprise, then, that the trend of deep-frying a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner has gained traction in the last decade. But this tradition can be a risky one. According to State Farm Insurance data, more cooking fires occur on Thanksgiving Day than any other day of the year, and more than one-third start in a garage or patio. Each year, fire departments respond to more than 1,000 fires related to deep-fryers, which cause more than $15 million in property damage annually.
