watching now we’re just gonna have your badge that’s it’s gonna be good for everybody watching and learn something about Thanksgiving all right here’s what I’ve done I’ve amassed courtesy of hoping to post article some interesting facts about Thanksgiving but I’ve twisted these in such a way as to make them into questions I want to ask you right having not seen this article that’s in my hand I haven’t seen it then if any of you watch rettenmund he takes the stance of kind of knowing stuff everything you mean you said it so now I’m okay if you know stuff then answer these questions about Thanksgiving I don’t know a lot about Thanksgivings help me let me be out yeah don’t head let me ahead a little bit I don’t know a lot if I get any of these dried it’ll be impressive you all right so I’ve got I’ve got roughly eight questions and usually when I play a game with you I’ll get you win something I offer something that began like we’ll go get ice cream if you guess right okay if if you get these right I get a twink I’ll spend my Thanksgiving with you well that’s already been planned we will be together on Thanksgiving our family I’ll be happy about some other families I’ll be happy you’ll enjoy your Thanksgiving if I get all this right yeah with you with the chances I’ve been getting this these alright are so slim so give me if I get 50% right you will enjoy Thanksgiving okay that’s it otherwise what I seem like Scrooge first question if this makes no sense by the way see if you can answer at home yeah yeah it doesn’t have to after the firt at not outshoot i can’t even read my question sure it’s not true or false is that open-ended question at the first Thanksgiving which is I’m referring to the three-day meal shared between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe in 1621 I knew all those facts how did they prepare their turkey uh there was no turkey the first Thanksgiving as a middle gloomy one no turkey into first you’re right hahaha there’s no evidence that Turkey was eaten at all it is more likely they ate venison which is deer meat of course and a lot of seafood which is food from the sea question two which table utensil was not present at the first Thanksgiving feast which is the three day meal share between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe in 1621 well I’m sure there weren’t chopsticks but you you want you’re thinking of something more specific common American table utensil well there’s only three common ones and that’s a fork spoon in a knife and I would say that this is not Who Wants to Be a Millionaire you don’t have to like drag this out by thinking that fucking I buy a vowel okay obviously they had knives there so it’s either the fork of the spoon and I would think that there were no Forks oh you’re right hahaha what do they use to eat a meal with a knife a spoon and their fingers yeah fork was not brought by the pilgrims that’s right governor Winthrop of Massachusetts introduced it 10 years later but it did not really catch on into the 18th century oh I’ll do that number 3 as has been demonstrated what do you mean demonstrated go ahead number 3 when browsing the TV dinner section of the grocery store why Rhett are so many of the frozen meals they are versions of the Thanksgiving meal that’s good well why are so many frozen dinners of the Thanksgiving variety yeah why are they even Thanksgiving you know turkey dressing you know you’ve seen it frozen TV dinner since gravy freezes very well ah no he got that one wrong in 1954 Swanson made their first TV dinner and before then it wasn’t even called a TV dinner they didn’t invent the TV dinner they just invented the name and marketed as TV dinner but it was a result of a severe overabundance of turkeys that they Swanson makes turkeys they had 260 tons of turkey that they needed to get rid of so they decided to bust it down into little sections and freeze it as TV dinners and then the the genius was they marketed it as TV dinners because of course in 1954 the television was the big craze so they said you’re supposed to eat this in front of a television we’ll call it a TV dinner people snatched it up and just gobbled it up like crazy nothing in there about gravy 98 cents per package nothing about gravy in there can’t win them all Swanson invented the TV dinner I’ll take the fourth question for 200 Alex how does turkey make a sleepy tryptophan be more specific it’s a hormone that in a matter of fact don’t be more specific you’re wrong it doesn’t make you sleepy turkey does not make you sleepy even though it has tryptophan in it which is known to make you sleepy there’s more tryptophan in soybeans soybeans soybeans Parmesan and pork you don’t know how many jerk I eat like a whole half of a turkey though you eat a lot of pork too I do and you don’t you’re saying that more of the it’s more foreign just a food coma in general it’s not from the tryptophan it’s actually more from the desert when you eat the desert get you know all of the sugar in there just gives you a crash and then you’re sitting there and that with the combination of football you know you might as well be watching golf so it’s a myth that turkey makes you sleepy it is yep even though the tryptophan descriptive editing is kind of like a red herring yeah yeah I get 50% on that one number five at the first Thanksgiving which is the three day meal share between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe in 1621 I remember it how did they prepare their green bean casserole there was no bean casserole that’s right see I gave you that one figured you pick up on green grimmy casserole came into being fifty years ago it was create about Campbell Soup it was another marketing scheme to just sell the cream of what whatever cream of beans cream of mushroom the mushroom cream of beans yeah cream of mushroom and they sell twenty million dollars worth of cream mushroom good stuff mostly to make the castor I could have that cream of mushroom injected right into my vein I would just eat that right up how many turkeys are consumed on Thanksgiving well good question and I’m not talking about the first one there weren’t any are you trying to embody a turkey or something what do you think people make your guests 60 million oh is it with in America 3 million nope 46 million yeah that’s pretty good I went into the is not a bad guess I just use simple statistics link you could learn how an estimated 46 million turkeys are eaten on Thanksgiving that’s more than double the amount eaten on Christmas 22 million and Easter 19 million in 2010 more than 244 million turkeys were raised in about 226 million of those were consumed in the United Turkey’s really giving it up for us turkey is giving it up give it up Turkey I do not eat turkey I eat ham I don’t like Turkey and I’m still a person I’m still a human being yeah but you’re a weird person I mean you know face it you ought to have a piece of Turkey you ought to get a piece of Turkey in two Twinkies and neither Turkey Twinkie sandwich just to open it taste an imitation Twinkie we still got some of those clogs I’ll make you one on because we’re going to be together and you’re gonna be able to great time okay when did Thanksgiving become an official national holiday I know this is under FDR’s presidency I do know this uh I do know this okay FDR okay first of all no no no FDR made it he tried to make it the the second to last Thursday in Thanksgiving for the marketers for retail sales and it backfired he had to move it to the fourth the fourth Thursday and the money lost man and I don’t even know which numbers like 1941 ah Thanksgiving only became a public national holiday in 1863 in the midst of the Civil War yeah that’s right 1863 sounds like 1941 President Daniel day-lewis declared it so number eight at the first Thanksgiving the three day meal share between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe in 1621 how did they prepare their cranberry sauce how in the traditional fashion they took cranberries they boiled them down into a gel and to be specific the cranberry sauce I gave it away you changed your answer half way through that’s right though they didn’t first Thanksgiving most likely did not involve cranberry sauce I know I’m letting so many of you people down while there was a plethora of cranberries for the pilgrims to feast upon or a quarter or a cornucopia sugar was a luxury they did not have a – ooh girl I do not have enough sugar to make it I don’t think that God I don’t think Chef Boyardee was it thanks guys thanks Kay thanks again to Huffington Post for this article unrelated Tim tidbit the cranberry used used to be called cranberry since it had flowerings that beared resemblance to the bird it had flowerings it flowered that’s awkward okay let’s move on let’s spin the wheel and inceptive we are something today I got more than 50% right and I’m happy about it I’m gonna be happy tomorrow gonna be a fun Thanksgiving link what I stopped it could I do that but it’d be like a public outrage that’s way against the rules don’t owe you my out no link no something red doesn’t hey man hey Thanksgivings tomorrow yeah yeah
