Hashtag Trivia
Dreams, Directives, and Daily Holidays You Never Knew You Needed
First up, it's National Funeral Director Day, a moment to recognize the professionals who bring calm, compassion, and organization to some of life's most difficult moments. As Benjamin Franklin once observed, nothing in this world is truly certain except death and taxes, so it only makes sense to give these unsung heroes their flowers, so to speak.
Next on the calendar is National Sofrito Day. This flavorful blend of herbs, spices, and veggies traces its roots to a Spanish phrase meaning "lightly fry," and it's apparently something both Jerry and the crew have yet to try. Maybe today's the day to change that.
Rounding out today's celebrations is National Dream Day, a day dedicated to chasing your own dreams while helping others chase theirs. And what better way to celebrate than with a little dream-themed trivia?
Jerry brings two multiple choice questions centered on all things dream-related. Think you know your stuff? Test your knowledge by watching the video above!
