Today I Learned (TIL)
You learn something new every day; what did you learn today?
TIL the Wright brothers didn’t like to fly together in fear of both of them dying in an accident. They wanted at least one of them to survive to carry on research.
TIL of Douglas Albert Munro, the only US Coast Guard to receive the Medal of Honor. Whilst providing cover for ground troops with his boat, Munro was fatally wounded. The last words he said were, “did they get off?” referring to the soldiers he’d saved. He was 22 years old.
TIL that George Washington had his own personal recipe for egg nog that he would serve to guests, which included one pint brandy, 1/2 pint rye whiskey, 1/2 pint Jamaica rum, and 1/4 pint sherry wine
TIL that Trader Joe’s has a “try before you buy” policy – where employees will open nearly ANYTHING for you to sample
It’s hard to go wrong at Trader Joe’s with so many solid and affordable options, but there is one mistake you could be making without even realizing it. If you’re not asking to try products before you buy them, you could end up wasting a lot of money on groceries in the long run. Yep, that’s right — Trader Joe’s has a “try before you buy” policy!
