Turkeys, Pies, and Parades: Thanksgiving Trivia
Thanksgiving isn’t just about the turkey or the pumpkin pie—it’s also a treasure trove of fascinating stats and quirky trivia! Did you know that approximately 46 million turkeys are cooked in the U.S. on Thanksgiving each year? That’s enough to line up turkeys from New York to Los Angeles more than 10 times! 🦃🎉

And speaking of food, Americans consume an estimated 50 million pumpkin pies on Thanksgiving Day. If laid end to end, these pies would stretch for over 4,000 miles, covering the distance from Maine to California! 🎃🥧

If you tune into the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, you’re in for a colorful spectacle. The parade features over 2.5 miles of floats, balloons, and performers marching through Manhattan. Fun fact: some of the balloons require 90 handlers each to keep them steady—now that's teamwork! 🎈

Let’s not forget football, another Thanksgiving classic. The NFL has hosted Thanksgiving Day games since 1920, with over 700 games played on this holiday to date. 🏈

So, as you indulge in your holiday favorites, remember these fun facts to spice up your dinner table conversations. Thanksgiving isn’t just about counting blessings; it’s also about counting turkeys, pies, and parades! 🎉
