I'd like to buy the world a TRIVIA QUIZ!
Today is St. Elsewhere Day, marking the premier of the TV show on this day in 1982. It starred Ed Flanders, William Daniels, Ed Begley, Jr., David Morse, Denzel Washington, Christina Pickles, Howie Mandel, Alfre Woodard, and Mark Harmon.
Today is Mule Day, marking importation of the first Spanish jacks to the U.S., a gift from King Charles III of Spain, on October 26, 1785.
Today is National Mincemeat Day.
On this day in 1854, Charles William Post was born in Springfield, Illinois. While an invalid for eight years, he developed "Grape Nuts," "Postum" and "Post Toasties." Later he formed the Postum Cereal Company.
On this day in 1970, "Doonesbury," the comic strip by Gary Trudeau, debuted in 28 newspapers across the U.S.
On this day in 2004, the Federal Communications Commission approved Cingular Wireless $41 billion acquisition of AT&T Wireless Services. And then, less than 3 years later, the company would be bought and change its name to AT&T Mobility!
So how's this for trivia? We all know that Coca-Cola was born in the US, but what country consumes the most Coke per capita?
Good luck :)

Thanks for the St. Elsewhere clip, R-dogg! I used to think of that show every time I took the Red Line across the Charles!
Hmm, great question...probably a country that doesn't drink a lot that likes really sweet things. How about...Japan?
Good guess, JD, but it's actually Iceland! I guess it's the per capita thing that pushes them into the top spot!
Sadly, the St. Elsewhere clip isn't working anymore. I've ever actually seen that show. But, I have a question on something else - who bought AT&T after Cingular?
