Thanksgiving is a holiday full of rich history! While many are familiar with the infamous story of the Native Americans and pilgrims, there are a number of interesting Turkey Day facts you may never have known! In order to spice up your Thanksgiving knowledge, we have compiled a list of fun, holiday tid-bits for your enjoyment:
-TV dinners were brought into existence thanks to the Thanksgiving holiday! One year, the Swanson Company overestimated the number of turkeys that were needed for the holiday by 26 tons! In order to salvage the left over turkeys that did not sell, they split up the meat, and added them to prepackaged containers along with a few extra Thanksgiving sides.
-Black Friday is the single-most busy day for plumbers.
-Abraham Lincoln was the first president to declare Thanksgiving a national holiday.
