Donuts, Moonshine and a Little Trivia: Test Your Holiday Knowledge with Jerry
Friday is packed with some of the more offbeat entries on the calendar, including National Donut Day, National Veggie Burger Day, and National Moonshine Day.
National Donut Day dates back to 1938, when Chicago's Salvation Army launched it as a fundraiser during the Great Depression. National Veggie Burger Day is a nudge for the carnivores out there to give the plant-based patty a shot, and with how far veggie burgers have come in recent years, it might be worth the try. And National Moonshine Day celebrates the clandestine tradition of illegal distillers who brewed their spirits under cover of night to avoid detection.
With moonshine as the keyword of the day, Jerry put together two multiple choice questions to see how well you really know your pop culture and American history. Watch the video above to find out if you got them right.
1) Take Me Home Country Roads is the 1971 debut hit from John Denver, with lyrics that include a misty taste of moonshine. Which U.S. state was not only the inspiration for the song but also made it one of their official state songs?
A) Colorado
B) Georgia
C) West Virginia
2) The Dukes of Hazzard ran on CBS from 1979 to 1985, following two cousins in rural Georgia on probation for moonshine running. They were famous for their orange car, the General Lee, but what kind of car was it?
A) A Chevrolet Camaro
B) A Dodge Charger C
) A Ford Mustang
