Trivia Whiz

Summer MeansHot Dogs

July is NationalHot Dog Month.Easy to prepare,inexpensive andconvenient, hot dogsare the perfect foodto enjoy at aballgame, picnic,festival or fair.

The National HotDog and SausageCouncil estimatesthat Americansconsume 20 billionhot dogs each year.

Although hot dogsare considered anall-American food,it is believed thatfrankfurtersoriginated inFrankfurt, Germany,in the 1400s.

The most popularhot dog toppingis mustard, whichis favored by90 percent of adults.Children tend toprefer ketchup.Other favorites areonions, chili, relishand sauerkraut.

Of all the ballparksin the country,Dodger Stadium inLos Angeles sells themost hot dogs eachbaseball season.

Let Freedom SingThis Fourth of July, celebrate both

our nation’s history and the history ofsome favorite patriotic songs:

“America” (“My Country ’Tis ofThee”). This song’s lyrics, set to themelody of “God Save the King,” werewritten by the Rev. Samuel FrancisSmith, who debuted it at anIndependence Day celebration in 1831.It was used as the country’s anthem fordecades until “The Star-SpangledBanner” was given that honor in 1931.

“America the Beautiful.” Accordingto Katharine Lee Bates, an Englishprofessor who wrote the words of thisstirring tune in 1913, the lyrics wereinspired by a prairie wagon ride shetook up Pikes Peak in Colorado, whereshe gazed upon the breathtakingbeauty of the countryside below. Themusic was composed in 1882 bySamuel Augustus Ward, a churchorganist and choirmaster.

“You’re a Grand Old Flag.” Writtenby George M. Cohan for his 1906 stageshow “George Washington Jr.,” thislively march was the first song from amusical to sell more than 1 millioncopies of sheet music.

“Yankee Doodle.” This upbeat dittydates back to pre-Revolutionary Wartimes, when British officers sang it tomock American militiamen. But in trueAmerican style, this parody has beenembraced as a patriotic classic.

Catch the All-Star GameUp to bat in July is Major

League Baseball’s All-StarGame, where top players fromthe National and Americanleagues face off in a competitionthat marks the halfway point ofthe regular season.

The first All-Star Game, held in1933 at Chicago’s old ComiskeyPark, was the idea of a localsports editor. Marketed as the“Game of the Century,” it washeld during the Chicago World’sFair to bolster the sport, whichfaced dwindling crowds due tothe Depression.

Organizers let fans nationwidecast votes for the teams’ rosters,and Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig andCarl Hubbell were among theplayers chosen. The game wassuch a hit that it became anannual tradition.

Today, fans still select thestarters for the MidsummerClassic. Pitchers and backupplayers are voted on by MLBplayers, managers and coaches,with the two All-Star teammanagers rounding outthe roster.

While the contest provides abreak in the season’s action,there is motivation to win: Thechampion league gets home-fieldadvantage in the World Series.

Favorite Frosty TreatsWith a clanging bell or a happy

tune to announce their arrival, icecream trucks have served frozennovelties for generations. Here aresome time-tested favorites:

Ice cream sandwiches. A New YorkCity pushcart peddler is credited withinventing the ice cream sandwich in1899. For a penny, the vendor placeda scoop of vanilla ice cream betweentwo graham wafers, offering a newway to enjoy the frozen treat onthe go.

Popsicles. An 11-year-old Californiaboy named Frank Eppersonaccidentally made culinary history in1905 by leaving a cup of water withpowdered soda and a stirring stickout overnight. The concoction froze,and the popsicle was born. About twodecades later, Epperson sold hispatent for the “frozen drink on astick,” and it took off acrossthe country.

Ice cream bars. In 1920, a youngboy walked into the Iowa shop ofChristian Kent Nelson and couldn’tdecide whether to spend his nickel onice cream or a chocolate bar. SoNelson began working on a way tocombine the two, and after weeks ofwork, he created the chocolate-coated ice cream bar.
