GEORGYSMOM and RUSTY got the right answer!!!!

Which food, eaten as a bedtime snack, may help promote sleep?

A. Bananas ( often have cereal and milk before I go to bed, as I'm always hungry. Now I'm going to put a banana on it. I wake up all the time and toss and turn. I didn't used to.)

Today's question is

How many turkeys are generally consumed at Thanksgiving in the U.S.?

9, 22, 44 or 138 million?

I'll go with 138 million. My area of Virginia is one of the biggest turkey producers in the US, so hope I got this correct!

You can't pull the wool over avid golf fans, especially those of us who are bird watchers, too. 🐦 Speaking of wildlife interactions during tournaments, there have been some funny situations with alligators, geese, fox, swarms of bees and over the years. Recently, a butterfly chased down a ball rolling towards the cup. The cameras zoomed in with striking accuracy for what appeared to the white butterfly trying to mate with the white golf ball.

YEAH! I was so sure it was going to be the tart cherry but I was thinking the potassium in bananas will help with leg cramps that often wake people up.

I'm going to guess 44 million because there are those that don't like turkey and serve something else. (I can't imagine!)

About 300 million people in the U.S. Many families eat together and include several generations and the vast majority of turkeys I've seen for sale could feed a good size family so only 1 turkey is needed. 138 million would mean that one of these big ole turkeys is consumed by 3 people, that seems excessive. 44 million means that that same turkey provides food for around 7 people, I think that is more reasonable.Some people eat something besides turkey, like a ham or cornish game hen. So I'll go with 44 million.

(Of course the wild card is people like me that buy extra turkeys, I bought two to can, I have no idea how many people buy turkeys at Thanksgiving and either freeze them or can them).

I may be wrong, but I think my guesswork is reasonable.

I was using a logic similar to Lucille’s & based on how many people one average sized turkey (say 15 lbs) will feed. And the fact many don’t even consume turkey or will eat a combination of proteins. So I also guess 44 Million sounds more reasonable.

Re yesterday’s answer, there are really multiple answers. Bananas is certainly one. Rice, popcorn, crackers, almonds, walnuts, cherry juice, cereal, shrimp, everal other things contain either carbs or tryptophan or boost melatonin that help you relax.

My DH came home from work...said his crew, from Mexico don't like turkey. On another thread someone mentioned they were having Beef Wellington. A lot of Jewish people only eat chickens and ducks.

Something to think about....
