Here are Big Dave’s 5 Nuggets of Knowledge for your Noggin’ – on this Thursday, October 26th, 2023. Let’s learn something together:
- Necco Wafers have been around since 1847 and there’s always been the eight original flavors that exist today: Chocolate, cinnamon, clove, lemon, licorice, lime, orange, and wintergreen. But according to old advertisements, there was once a NINTH flavor – peppermint. It’s unclear why peppermint was dropped in the 1930s, but it could’ve been because, along with wintergreen, there was “too much” mint.
- San Bernardino County outside Los Angeles is the largest county in the country, at 20,105 square miles. That makes it bigger than nine states.
- The United States won the very first gold medal for basketball, at the 1936 Olympics. They beat Canada in the final game . . . 19-to-8. Obviously scoring has gone way up since then.
- Chris Tucker has only been in five movies this century: “Rush Hour 2” in 2001 . . .“Rush Hour 3” in 2007 . . . “Silver Linings Playbook” in 2012 . . . a box office bomb called “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk” in 2016 . . . and “Air”, about Air Jordan shoes, which came out this year.
- CeeLo Green was a backup singer on the TLC song “Waterfalls”.
