🍝🚨 WAIT… ALFREDO DIDN’T HAVE CREAM?! 👀😆

MONDAY MINDBENDER REVEAL!

The answer is… B. Butter & Parmigiano Reggiano 🇮🇹

Yep 🇮🇹the original Fettuccine Alfredo from Rome, Italy was much simpler than the rich, creamy version most of us know today.

Fresh fettuccine. Butter. Parmigiano Reggiano.
That’s it. 😳

So that heavy, creamy Alfredo we love here in the U.S.?
We Americanized it. 😂🇺🇸

Kinda like burritos 🌯 are to Mexico 🇲🇽 ~~rooted in the culture, then transformed into something very American along the way.

And THEN there’s my kitchen… 👀🔥

Because my Creole Alfredo said:
“Cute story, Rome… now pass me the seasoning.” 😆

Is it traditional Alfredo? Nope.
Is it creamy, flavorful and doing exactly what it needs to do? ABSOLUTELY. 😂

And honestly, that’s one of my favorite things about food 🍜it travels, evolves, crosses cultures and picks up new flavor along the way. ❤️

🍍🧠 THE REVEAL!

The answer is B: To show they were WEALTHY! 💰

In 18th-century England, pineapples were so rare and expensive that people actually rented them to display—or even carry around—at parties! Imagine borrowing a pineapple just to flex…then returning it without taking one bite. 😂🤭

🍍 FUN FACT: Pineapples grow from low plants near the ground—not on trees!

Picking the perfect one?

👃 Smell the bottom—it should smell sweet, not sour.
🤲 It should feel firm with just a little give.
👀 Look for healthy green leaves and some golden color.

And here’s another Mind Bender: pineapple pizza was NOT invented in Hawai‘i! 😆🍍🍕 It was created in Ontario, Canada, in 1962 by Greek-born restaurateur Sam Panopoulos. He reportedly named it “Hawaiian” after the brand of canned pineapple he used—not the state! 🇨🇦

Now the real question: Does pineapple belong on pizza?! 👀😂🙋🏻‍♀️😉🍍🍕

🧠 MONDAY MIND BENDER… Tuesday Edition! 🤭

In 18th-century England, wealthy people sometimes carried a pineapple around at parties—but didn’t actually eat it! 🍍👀

Why?

A. It was believed to prevent illness
B. It showed they were wealthy
C. It was used to flavor their drinks
D. It meant they were looking for a spouse

The answer may have you looking at your fruit bowl differently. 😂

🍺MONDAY MINDBENDER REVEAL!

The answer is… A. TEMPERANCE 👀

In the late 1800s, root b**r was promoted as an alternative to b**r and liquor during the temperance movement — a movement heavily supported and organized by women.

But it wasn’t just about avoiding alcohol. Root b**r also gave women and families a more socially acceptable drink to enjoy in public and social settings where alcohol had often been the norm.

Meet Charles E. Hires, a Philadelphia pharmacist who became one of the first people to successfully commercialize root b**r. 👨🏻‍⚕️🍺

📍 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — 1876
Hires introduced his root b**r to crowds at the Centennial Exposition, America’s big 100th-birthday celebration, and marketed it as “The Temperance Drink.” 👀

And here’s the kicker: Prohibition wouldn’t begin until 1920. Root b**r was already part of America’s alcohol-free social scene more than 40 years earlier. 👀

Ice cream, you scream… ROOT B**R! 🍨🍺😆

I’ll raise my mug 🍺to that…
CHEERS! 🍻

🥤 Anyone else a ROOT B**R FLOAT fan?! 👀🙋🏻‍♀️

There’s just something about that cold, fizzy root b**r hitting a scoop of vanilla ice cream 😋🍨

But before we get to the float… this week’s Monday Mindbender is going wayyy back into root b**r history. 🌿🥤

Take your guess on the graphic 👇🏽
NO GOOGLING! 🤓😂

And tell me — root b**r float: YES or NO?
