Nachos were invented in 1943 by Ingacio “Nacho” Anaya in Mexico, across the boarder from Eagle Pass, Texas.

He hastily improvised the first plate for military officers’ wives whose group arrived after his restaurant’s kitchen had closed. It featured only three ingredients: freshly fried tortilla chips, shredded cheese and sliced pickled jalapenos.

Knowledge Nugget:

In 1978, during television’s first WKRP season, station manager Arthur Carlson (Gordon Jump) boasted he was “going to make history” with “the greatest promotional idea of all time.” So the fictional radio station dropped live turkeys over a shopping mall, with the birds smashing car windshields and “hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement,” as reported by WKRP newsman Les Nessman.

The show ended with Carlson delivering one of the most memorable lines in TV history: “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!”

Fans of the late 1970’s WKRP in Cincinnati sitcom have been asking: Will they do a turkey drop? And the answer is YES! WKRP-FM, which airs on three stations from Dry Ridge KY to Dayton OH, on Nov. 25 will recreate the stunt — without live turkeys.

WKRP is bringing the legend back,” says Jeff Ziesmann, WKRP-FM general manager, “As God is my witness, this time we’ve got it right.” The promotion will take place at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 25th — Thanksgiving eve. The rubber turkeys will be dropped from a fire department ladder truck.

Knowledge Nugget:

If you think your spouse is cheating on you – financially – they probably are.

Turns out, according to a survey, a quarter of us would not share our financial difficulties with our spouse. There are three reasons for this:

  1. To not worry our partner.
  2. To not damage the relationship.
  3. Spouse had no idea about the debt in the first place.

Relationship experts say it’s important to share any financial stress as “three decades of research on marriage tells us this – the number one cause of marital discourse and dysfunction is related to financial distress.

It’s National Candy Corn Day!

Candy corn is a tri-colored, waxy sugar candy invented in the 1880s by George Renninger of Wunderle Candy Company.

The candy was originally called “chicken feed”, because corn was primarily viewed as animal feed in the late 19th century. The Goelitz Confectionery Company (now known as “Jelly Belly”) started mass-producing the candy in 1898. IT became a Halloween staple in the 1950s as trick-or-treating grew popular and companies marketed its harvest colors.
