Put Your Holiday Knowledge to the Test: Can You Ace Jerry's Tuesday Pop Quiz?
Today's Holiday Lineup
February 24th brings three unique observances to the calendar. First up: International I Hate Coriander Day, dedicated to the roughly 10% of the population whose genes make the herb taste like soap. Yes, it's actually genetic! Next, National Tortilla Chip Day invites everyone to break out the salsa, guacamole, and queso for some serious snacking.
