Fun Thanksgiving Facts

DID YOU KNOW...?

• Americans feast on 535 million pounds of turkey on Thanksgiving.
  
• Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national bird.
  
• Only male (tom) turkeys gobble. Females make a clicking noise. The famous gobble is actually a seasonal mating call.
  
• The heaviest turkey ever raised weighed in at 86 pounds – about the size of a German Shepherd! (But turkeys are normally not used as police animals.)
  
• A turkey under 16 weeks of age is called a fryer. A five to seven month old turkey is called a roaster.
  
• The Turkey Trot, a ballroom dance in the 1900s, was named for the short, jerky steps of the turkey. It became popular mainly because it was denounced by the Vatican as "suggestive."
  
• Turkeys can drown if they look up when it's raining!
  
• There was no milk, cheese, bread, butter or pumpkin pie at the original Thanksgiving Day feast.
  
• Contrary to popular belief, the Pilgrims did not have big buckles on their clothing, shoes, or hats. 
  
• Fresh cranberries are ideal for cranberry sauce. Cranberries of the highest quality will always bounce! (If you try this at home, please wash the cranberries before eating.)
  
• President Abraham Lincoln established the original date for our National Thanksgiving Day celebration in 1863.
  
• Congress did not declare Thanksgiving a national holiday until 1941.
  
• The average person consumes 4,500 calories on Thanksgiving Day. (Now that's a lot of turkey!)
