100 Fun Thanksgiving Trivia Quiz (Part 2)

[B] Native American Heritage Day | Officially recognized in 2009, this day acknowledges the people who were here first. Most Americans don't know it exists because they're unconscious from tryptophan and shopping.

[D] Animal feed | Turkey feathers get ground up and fed back to animals in a circle of protein life. Your dog's kibble might contain recycled turkey feathers, making Thanksgiving truly sustainable.

[B] About 80 percent | Four out of five people secretly prefer the sandwich to the sit-down dinner. No judgment, no small talk, just turkey, cranberry, and stuffing engineering between bread.

[D] 66 days | The Pilgrims endured more than two months of rough seas and cramped conditions, which makes modern holiday traffic jams seem like a pleasant drive.

[A] Franklin D. Roosevelt | FDR moved Thanksgiving earlier to extend Christmas shopping season during the Depression. Capitalism literally changed when we give thanks.

[C] California | With 39 million people, California devours more turkey than any state. They probably put avocado on it because California puts avocado on everything.

[A] 1912 | Ocean Spray started canning cranberries the same year the Titanic sank. The berries lasted longer than the ship.

[A] 1621 | The 1621 harvest feast between Pilgrims and Wampanoag lasted three days without football. They survived on actual conversation and venison.

[D] Ham | Ham serves as turkey's understudy, ready to step in when birds run out. It's basically Thanksgiving's backup quarterback.

[A] Stuffing | Stuffing beats all competitors, proving bread improves everything, even vegetables. It's basically edible sponge for gravy, which is its entire purpose.

[B] Over the River and Through the Woods | This 1844 poem became a song about traveling to grandmother's house. GPS replaced the need to go "through the woods" thankfully.

[D] 86 pounds | Tyson the turkey weighed as much as a German Shepherd and probably couldn't fly or run. He lived his best life until becoming a statistical anomaly.

[B] Calvin Coolidge | Mississippi supporters sent Coolidge a raccoon to eat, but he kept it as a pet instead. Rebecca the raccoon lived in the White House, making presidential history weird.

[A] The Wampanoag | The Wampanoag taught Pilgrims to fertilize corn with fish, preventing colonial starvation. Without them, American history would've ended at "they all starved."

[B] About 15 pounds | Fifteen pounds feeds 10 people or one really determined uncle. Turkey farmers breed them specifically for maximum meat, minimum flight capability.

[D] Police stations | Japanese kids thank police, firefighters, and hospital workers with drawings on November 23. It's like Thanksgiving met a thank you card and had an adorable baby.

[D] Pults or turkeylings | Baby turkeys are called pults, which sounds made-up but isn't. Turkeylings is also acceptable if you prefer your poultry terminology whimsical.

[C] Squanto | Squanto spoke English because he'd been enslaved in Europe, then returned home. His life story makes every movie plot look boring by comparison.

[C] Franklin Delano Roosevelt | FDR moved Thanksgiving earlier for more shopping days, causing "Franksgiving" chaos. Half the country celebrated different days because America loves complicated traditions.

[B] $150,000 | Old Homestead Steakhouse created this obscene feast featuring imported turkey and gold flakes. It proves money can't buy taste but can definitely buy attention.

[D] George H.W. Bush | Bush Senior formalized the turkey pardon in 1989, creating an oddly monarchical tradition. The pardoned turkeys retire to petting zoos, living better than most chickens.

[C] Abraham Lincoln | Lincoln established Thanksgiving in 1863 during the Civil War to unite the country. Nothing brings people together like arguing over turkey preparation methods.

[D] Greek culture | Zeus's goat Amalthea provided the original horn of plenty in Greek mythology. Now it's a wicker basket that nobody actually uses except in centerpieces.

[A] Leiden, Holland | The Pilgrims lived in Holland for 11 years before sailing to America. They left because their kids were becoming too Dutch, which was apparently problematic.

[C] George Washington | Washington proclaimed Thanksgiving in 1789, making it America's first presidential food holiday. He probably regretted it after Martha made him help with dishes.

[C] 4,500 | That's two days' worth of calories consumed in one meal, not counting midnight sandwiches. Your body treats it like preparing for hibernation.

[A] Massasoit | Massasoit was the leader who maintained a 50-year peace with the colonists, a crucial alliance that ensured the Pilgrims' initial survival.

[B] 1920 | The NFL started Thanksgiving games immediately because nothing sells tickets like food comas. Detroit and Dallas now own Thanksgiving football like inherited family china.

[C] Harry S. Truman | Truman received turkeys but ate them instead of pardoning them like a normal person. The photo ops started the tradition even if the pardoning didn't.

[A] Rice cakes | Koreans make songpyeon, half-moon shaped rice cakes stuffed with sweet fillings. They're like Thanksgiving meets mochi, proving harvest festivals are universally carb-heavy.
