    Reacting to this quiz was such a fun experience! 🇺🇸 Some of those questions really had me stumped, but others were surprisingly easy (thank goodness for random trivia knowledge!). Let me know in the comments how many YOU got right-especially if you're from the USA! Let's compare scores. 😄👏"

      Dr. Pepper is NOT the oldest soft drink. Vernors is an American brand of ginger ale that was first served in 1866 by James Vernor, a pharmacist from Detroit. The trivia question didn't ask which was the first ever invented, it asked out of those 3, which came first.

    Vince Lombardi was the coach of the Green Bay Packers and won the first two Super Bowls. Which is why they named the trophy after him.

    One World Trade Center opened in 2014 as a replacement/tribute for the 2 original towers that were destroyed in 2001. It's also known as the Freedom Tower. The Willis Tower was also originally called the Sears Tower, but everyone still calls it that.

I did know about the Dr. Pepper one, simply bc I'm from Texas! Most picked Coke. (Side note: Did you know that the first Coca Cola color was GREEN!)

    Coca cola is actually about the same age as DrPepper, but the official date puts Coca cola as officially debuted in 1886.
    The Uncle Sam one is misleading and wrong. One possible origin is that the male persona was based on Samuel Wilson, a meat packer from Troy, New York in 1812. The earliest known mention definitely referring to the metaphorical Uncle Sam is from 1810, predating Wilson. The present version dates from WW1 which is far too late for him to be based on Samuel Wilson. Prior to WW1 there was a version that was based on George Armstrong Custer that can be found in the Wyoming State museum archives. In essence, Uncle Sam has always been a caricature of a strong mature man.
