NATIONAL CARBONATED BEVERAGE WITH CAFFEINE DAY
What's your favorite carbonated beverage with caffeine? Are you a Coca-Cola or a Pepsi person? I've heard said that Pepsi people will deink a Coke but a Coke person will not drink a Pepsi.
Unique food holidays, such as National Carbonated Beverage With Caffeine Day, give us opportunities to break out of our everyday norm. On November 19th, explore the variety of carbonated beverages with caffeine.
Some people cannot have caffeine due to medical reasons. However, others choose to avoid caffeine for their own reasons. Then millions of people who like their caffeine very much. The same is true with the carbonation in beverages. Today’s celebration combines the two of them together.
In 1767, Englishman Joseph Priestly suspended a bowl of distilled water above a beer vat at a local brewery in Leeds, England. His experiment led to the discovery of a method of infusing water with carbon dioxide to make carbonated water. Priestly’s invention of carbonated water is the major and defining component of most soft drinks.
Caffeine acts as a central nervous system stimulant, temporarily warding off drowsiness and restoring alertness. Ninety percent of adults in North America consume caffeine daily. Some people notice sleep disruption after drinking beverages containing caffeine. Though, others see no disturbance at all.
Other terms bor carbonated beverages include sparkling, bubbly or effervescent. Almost any beverage can be carbonated, though not every beverage should be carbonated. Soda are the most common caffeinated carbonated drinks, but these days some makers can even add some fizz to cold-brewed coffee. Certain sparkling waters infuse flavors and add caffeine for that extra boost.
NATIONAL PLAY MONOPOLY DAY
Did you play Monopoly as a kid? As an adult. As kids we spent many an hour at the Monopoly board. National Play Monopoly Day on November 19th recognizes the iconic board game that lands us on Park Place, Boardwalk or even in jail.
Known as one of the most popular board games in the world, Monopoly was originally based on a board game designed by Elizabeth Magie in 1902. The game has been played by an estimated 5 million people since 1935.
Monopoly comes in numerous versions. Do you enjoy a particular book or movie franchise or hobby? The game likely comes in themes focusing on famous characters and likely scenarios. How about sports teams or pop culture? Monopoly money goes there, too!

some language, but pretty accurate about monopoly
That's funny @Kasey. Definitely seen some of that behavior two hours into a monopoly game.
I come from a game playing family. Card games, board games, chess, pool, ping pong, horseshoes, corn hole, you name it.
I've always liked monopoly, the original version. Played countless times as a kid and as an adult (at family gatherings). I always try to be the dog, and I like to stand him up on his nose/front legs.
