2525 - Annum 7
In the year ____, the following events occurred:
1- An Executive Order signed by the US President is a key step in the desegregation of the United States Armed Forces.
2- Charles Elmer Doolin invents an orange colored corn-based snack food and begins national distribution in the US.
3- An American actor whose films have collectively grossed more than $27 billion worldwide, making him the highest-grossing actor of all time, is born in Washington, D.C.
4- An athlete from California becomes the youngest gold medalist in the Olympic decathlon.
5- A British actor stars in and directs a film that is the first non-Hollywood production to win Best Picture (note: the Oscar was awarded the following year)
Questions:
Two points each:
Who is the US president in #1?
FDR
What is the snack food in #2?
What other popular, corn-based snack food did Doolin create 17 years earlier?
Fritos - Cheetos
The Food that Built America had an entire episode about Doolin, it was fascinating! If the History Channel has this on streaming, I highly recommend it, great series with a plethora of Fun Facts. Doolin Fanny Fun Fact: His mother hocked her wedding ring to get the money for him to buy the recipe off of a Mexican guy who was tired of making them because it was so work intense. Doolin invented (or had somebody do it, I can't remember) a machine to make them, some old manual crank thing, and Fritos would never be the same! Personal Fanny Fun Fact: When I was a kid I had long black hair and my dad would put one pony tail across my face like a moustache and I would do the same to him with the other pony tail and we would sing the Frito Bandito song. Good times....
WHAT is the name of the actor in #3. Say WHAT again, I dare you. I double dare you. Say WHAT one more goddamn time.
Uncle Sam L.
Thanks for the hint, I wouldn't have gotten it otherwise. What a halftime show with Kendrick, yeah?
Who is the athlete in #4?
How old was he at these Olympics?
Where were the summer Olympics held that year?
Is the athlete dead or alive?
Jim Thorpe (I know that wrong, but he's the only one I know beside Caitlin... 18 - LA - dead
Who is the actor/director in #5?
What was the film?
Laurence Olivier - Hamlet
What year did all these events take place? (Five points)
1932
Total points: 25
