Waffles, Manatees, and Wagons, Oh My! Test Your Knowledge with Jerry on Today's Holiday Pop Quiz
First up, fire up that waffle iron collecting dust in your cabinet, because today is International Waffle Day! Whether you're dreaming of a Belgian-style breakfast or just want an excuse to pull out the waffle press, today is your day. No more excuses.
Next on the calendar, today marks National Manatee Awareness Day, celebrated every year on the last Wednesday in March. These lovable, gentle giants of the sea have quite the nickname, and Jerry and the team had a little fun figuring it out on air. They're also a serious conservation cause, so give a little love to our slow-moving, ocean-going friends today.
And rounding out the holiday trio, it's National Little Red Wagon Day! The iconic Little Red Wagon was invented by Italian immigrant Antonio Pasin back in 1917, and it has been making childhood memories ever since. Wagons also happen to be the keyword connecting today's two pop quiz questions, and that's where things get really fun.
