Here are some little-known facts that I learned on the History Channel.
- Most American farm-raised turkeys have pure white feathers. They don't look like the usual photos of turkeys that you see.
- Turkey contains less tryptophan than chicken or cheese, so it's not to blame for your nap.
- Cranberries are native to North America.
- Most cooks agree that canned pumpkin is actually better to cook with than fresh pumpkin that you cooked down yourself.
- Thanksgiving (or the Wednesday before) is not actually the busiest travel day of the year. Air-travel wise, that Wednesday doesn't even rank in the top 25. Car-travel-wise, it's the same as July 4th or other summer holidays.
- The day after Thanksgiving is the busiest day of the year for plumbers.
