Happy Valentines Day ,
This week's lagniappe will be a short one as the Trivia Mystery team will be celebrating a romantic evening--by reading Wikipedia articles aloud to each other if you must know.
Dazzle your Valentine with these facts:
- According to a YouGov survey 7% of Americans have broken up with a partner on Valentines Day.
- Meanwhile, in the UK, 3 in 10 people (30%) who do not live with their partners plan to break lockdown rules and meet their partners inside.
- Overall, Valentines Day spending is expected to fall by about 1/3 this year as many couples are unable to get together.
- However, many partners are still splashing out:
According to Contact Pigeon
- About 250 Million roses are produced for Valentines day.
- One of the first messages printed on a conversation heart (in 1866) was "Married in white you have chosen right." Obviously the candies were originally much larger at the time.
- Can't find a date? Maybe you just haven't found the right one. This website matches you with a Joshua Tree.
That's all for now! We need to get back to our own celebrations. We hope to see you all tomorrow night! Quiz starts at 8 pm GMT.
Have a great week,
MJ and Jessica
