Random Topic

Keith initiated a Thanksgiving-themed quiz, sourced from CNN, to engage the team. The questions covered various aspects of Thanksgiving history, including the location of the first Thanksgiving, the food items present at the feast, and the US President who issued the first Thanksgiving Proclamation. The team members participated actively, with Terry and Jill providing their answers. The quiz ended with a question about which US state raises the most turkeys, with the correct answer being Minnesota.

Just kidding, the quiz continues as the group discusses trivia questions related to Thanksgiving food traditions. Jill correctly guesses that the green bean casserole was invented by a Campbell’s employee in the 1950s to promote their cream of mushroom soup. Keith explains that the Pilgrims likely made a custard baked in a hollowed-out pumpkin, since they lacked ingredients like butter and flour for pumpkin pie.

The quiz continues when Keith and Terry engaged in a light-hearted discussion about Thanksgiving traditions, including the origins of the Macy’s Day Parade and the first Thanksgiving Day parade in the US. They also discussed the most played NFL games on Thanksgiving Day, with the Detroit Lions leading the list.

Keith then presented a series of trivia questions about Thanksgiving, which included the organic compound in turkey that causes sleepiness after a meal. (I think our AI companion muscle fallen asleep. This whole segment has been about taking a trivia quiz. Wow, were so boring that even our robot companion fell asleep!)
