Big Dave’s 5 Nuggets Of Knowledge For Your Noggin’ – (1/2/24)

Here are Big Dave’s 5 Nuggets of Knowledge for your Noggin’ – on this Tuesday, January 2nd, 2024. Let’s learn something together:

1. Peanut butter in Dutch is called pindakaas – or “peanut cheese” – because the word “butter” is only supposed to be used with products that contain actual butter.
2. Duffel bags are named after a town in Belgium called Duffel, where the fabric for the bags originally came from.
3. “Public school” in England is the equivalent of “private school” in the U.S.  It’s a school you have to pay for.  Our “public schools” are called “state schools” over there.
4. The only planet that’s not named after a Roman god or goddess is Earth.
5. The tradition of presidents wearing an American flag pin started because of a Robert Redford movie from 1972 called “The Candidate”.  He wore one in the movie, Nixon’s chief of staff saw it, and had the REAL president start wearing one.
