Iowa Getaway TriviaBlue Bunny Trivia * It takes 75,000 cows every day to fulfill the dairy needs at Blue Bunny. * If laid end-to-end, Blue Bunny uses enough wooden sticks in their products to circle the equator three times. * The freezer warehouse will story 50,000 pallets of ice cream at once. * Blue Bunny uses enough chocolate each year to cover 47 football fields, one-inch thick. * The Blue Bunny name arrived in 1935, the winning entry in a "Name that Ice Cream" contest announced by the company in the Sioux City newspaper. * Twenty to 30 new products are introduced each year from a group of 100. * Nearly 15,000 guests visit the Blue Bunny visitors center each year. Lewis and Clark Trivia * When game was plentiful, each man ate about 9 pounds of meat per day, which is the same about as 36 quarter-pound hamburgers. * Extra meat was stored in barrels with excessive salt to prevent spoilage. * When the expedition reached the Pacific the party voted on where to spend the winter. York, Clark's slave, was allowed to vote, nearly 60 years before slaves in the U.S. would be emancipated. Sacagawea was also allowed to vote, more than a century before either women or Native Americans are granted full rights of citizenship. Date: 5/8/08 Advertisement
