25 Trivia Nuggets From Pop Culture History For Wednesday, December 17
Hear me out: the breakfast buffet is the best part about traveling to a new country. Before you even set foot outside to go on a guided tour of the historical parts of the city, before you get a chance to gaze upon the local architecture, and before you even have time to look up the area's traditional cuisine, you get to sample something of the culture as soon as you wake up. Just by going down stairs in your PJs, you learn a lot about a place by observing what even counts as breakfast. Soup? Noodles? Salad? A full dessert table?
You can also learn quite a bit about pop culture by checking out this buffet of facts. There's a little bit of everything – science, history, celebs, movies, and more.
