Trivia Question: 44% of All the World's Stock Come from Chicken Stock of Which VP?

Not a trick question. And it is amazingly true. 44% of all eggs in the world come from the chicken stock developed by one of America's vice presidents. Can you guess who?

[Travis T. OJustice]

A real Communist. Worse than Sanders.

Bernie or the Colonel?

[Bullish]

I don't like chickens

[Genoa]

Why, yes, it is very douchey! I meant it that way! I WON I WON I WON I WON!! You weren’t fast enough!! Hahahahahaha!

[ConservativeDude]

wow, just wow.

I had no idea, and I follow this sort of thing pretty closely.

Also...I had no idea that he disavowed his communism.

All in all a truly great post. Thank you.

Hy-Lines actually came from his son, I think, but it’s still a great question!

[Genoa]

I meant when he was VP. In the 1950s he was remorseful about the excesses of Stalin and regretted his earlier praise of Russia. Plus I think he was influenced by public opinion in the 50s and felt the need to deflect. By the way, check out his religious journey. He was New Age before it was cool.

And no I didn’t Google it.

It's an easy google ...

About 5 years ago I had a ton of really good KFC coupons. I got them from the free newspapers in the racks. It was for a FREE KFC chicken sandwich if you bought a small soda. I used quite a few.

Another time I went to a KFC but was bummed out by the high prices. When I walked back out into the parking lot without buying anything, one of the customers who overheard me gave me a really great coupon for a bucket of chicken. I forgot how much it was but it was a good deal.

President Tyler, founder of Tyler Chicken?

[PJ-Comix]

Yeah, he followed a guru who was later exposed as a con artist. That episode could be made into a comedy movie.

[PJ-Comix]

Wallace really changed two industries in a drastic way, corn and chickens.

[PJ-Comix]

Okay, my NEXT trivia question won’t be so easy to google.

[Genoa]

No good deals at KFC now. The chicken is fabulously expensive and the sides suck.

[Mariner]

Teddy R, right?

Before the dawn of the 20th century chicken at the butcher was expensive...and good. Eggs too.

Then came the factory chickens.

It says a lot about Roosevelt, the scoundrel, that he put the country a heartbeat away from having a basically communist president. Thank goodness it turned out to be Truman in the end, relatively speaking.

Not Silent Cal.

However, on an agricultural side note, Coolidge is known for a famous principle of animal behavior, which is named after him.

Do you know it?

What do I win?
