Have a Coke and a TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is National Nose-Blowing Day, a day for everyone with a stuffy nose to stop everything at nigh-noon and blow seriously for 10 seconds. Then take a deep breath.

Today is Spunky Old Broads Day, a day for celebration for spunky ladies over 50. Anybody else thinking of Sally O'Malley from SNL?

Today is Straw Wrapper Appreciation Day, a day to remember how much fun it was to blow the wrapper off a straw.

On this day in 1964, a thousand pounds of Beatles wigs arrived from England in New York City, where they sold out immediately.

On this day in 1967, in St. Louis Wilt Chamberlain missed all nine of his free throw attempts while hitting 100% of other shots. In fact, when the field goal streak ended nine days later, Wilt had made 35 in a row.

On this day in 1998, a piece of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor’s 60-year-old wedding cake sold for $29,900 at an auction in New York City.

Gather 'round, folks...it's trivia time! So on this day in 1985, Coca-cola introduced a new bottled beverage that soda jerks in drug stores had been serving since the 1930s. Name that beverage!


Good luck :)

I'm going to go with Dr. Pepper. Was the video supposed to be a hint for us? I couldn't get it to work. :(

And it's....Cherry Coke! How did we ever live w/o it?

Laine, you were pretty close! And the video was just one of the old "Have a Coke and a smile" ads, so you're not missing out :)

I think Dr. Pepper is Pepsi, so I'm going to go with Cherry Coke... but it could be Vanilla Coke. Mmm, I used to drink that all the time....
