Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for November 24, 2019

wow, all tidbits are about food (I wonder what’s the universal name of that chili pepper)

Is RBIoN trying to claim that George was the first person to add rum to his egg nog?

At 11 years old, Aiden Jaquez from Montgomery, Illinois, has run a half marathon in all 50 states.

And if Starbucks could sell the pastries in the shape of coffee cups, they’d charge a lot more.

Take care and may God bless.

I remember drinking eggnog that was spiked with Southern Comfort. I was never more tipsy.

I wonder what a coffee cup shaped pastry tastes like…

Jalapenos aren’t the only ones.

Dried poblano chiles are called anchos.

Another chile… I can’t remember which…. becomes a pasilla when dried…. there are probably more.

And we all know grapes become raisins, and plums become prunes.

For that matter… dried meat is called jerky.

Hardly unbelievable.

About that eggnog recipe, Ol’ George ran the still for one of the ingredients!

Hubert, a golden retriever from Denmark, can balance a stack of Pringles on his nose.

Take care and may God bless.

I had no idea that the jalapeño and the chipotle peppers were the same thing! So the jalapeño joins the grape/raisin and plum/prune club!

Cilantro and coriander are from the same plant.

Here is the recipe

The next day he invented the Ice-Pack Wig…

George Washington reportedly produced some very good spirits (whiskey etc) and beer, so yes I would assume he could have made egg nog. That is a really stupid Believe it or Not.
