Enjoy your day as we celebrate the
242th birthday of our Nation.
Here is a simple quiz to see what you know about the USA.
1. Using the the date when the Declaration of Independence was ratified, how old is the US today? (242 years)
2. What is the largest state according to land size? (Alaska)
3. What is the largest state according to the population? (California, Texas, New York, Florida. The first four according to the 2013 census.)
4. What are the top exports of the US?
(Food, beverage, and feed according to the US Commerce Department in 2017. You will find various answers to this question depending on how it is calculated. And this just for a interesting tidbit, not to start a discussion about trade policies. :) )
5. Speaking of foods, what is the most common vegetable consumed in the US? (Potatoes followed by tomatoes according to USDA research. Yes, I know that technically tomatoes are a fruit. My sister just pointed this out:) )
6. No more questions for now because I've run out of time. We have to get the ribs on and the cherry cobbler made, two of the things on our menu today. Have a great day whether you are having a picnic or reading a good book.
