What month is Veteran's Day in?

This popular fast food chain was first started by two brothers who introduced a Speedee Service System restaurant in California, featuring 15 cent hamburgers made to be produced quickly.
McDonald's
The McDonald's brothers opened their first McDonald's restaurant on May 15, 1940 in San Bernardino, California. Originally, a carhop drive-in system was used to serve customers. The initial menu items were centered around barbecue and the first name the brothers called their business was "McDonald's Famous Barbecue." In 1948, the McDonald brothers realized that most of their profits derived from the sale of hamburgers. They shuttered their successful carhop drive-in to establish a streamlined system with a simple menu that consisted of only hamburgers, cheeseburgers, potato chips, coffee, soft drinks, and apple pie.

Baguette
Something that hits all five senses needs protecting, and that's exactly what the French government did back in 1993 with the Décret Pain. The law states that traditional baguettes have to be made on the premises they're sold and can only be made with four ingredients: wheat flour, water, salt and yeast. They can't be frozen at any stage or contain additives or preservatives, which also means they go stale within 24 hours.

His solution? Basketball. With nothing but a soccer ball and two peach baskets, Naismith invented a game that would soon take the world by storm. His primary objective was to create a non-violent game that focused on skill, not brute strength, which is how basketball was born. Did you ever play basketball?

What was Veteran's Day originally known as?
Armistice Day
Armistice Day, later known as Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth and Veterans Day in the United States, is commemorated every year on 11 November to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, at 5:45 am for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at 11:00 am—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918 although, according to Thomas R. Gowenlock, an intelligence officer with the U.S. First Division, shelling from both sides continued for the rest of the day, ending only at nightfall.

Bananas appeared in the US in the 1870s but it took a while for them to appear as ingredients in desserts.

Some food historians believe banana bread was a byproduct of the Great Depression as resourceful housewives did not wish to throw away overripe bananas.

What was once the Harman Café, this southern restaurant was originally started by Colonel Harland Sanders and Pete Harman.
KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken)!
Attempts to unearth the Colonel’s Original Recipe, or replicate it, have been made too many times to count. For KFC Corp., keeping the elusive mix of 11 herbs and spices under wraps has been paramount — not to mention a great marketing tool. In 2008, the Louisville, Ky.-based company used a Brink’s armored truck and briefcase marked “Top Secret” when it made a big show of beefing up security at the vault containing the Colonel’s handwritten recipe. Other protective measures include using two different suppliers to prepare the 11 herbs and spices so that no single entity can crack the code.

Cornbread
In its earliest developments in the American colonies, cornbread was a simple combination of ground cornmeal and water that was then stirred together and baked over an open fire or in a hearth. At this point in its history, cornbread's role in Southern cuisine emerged out of necessity. Although white farmers in the Northeast and Midwest could grow wheat and rye, the heat and humidity of the South made European wheat wither and turn rancid.

Cinderella
"A dream is a wish your heart makes." Cinderella is an ancient tale, with about 800 different versions around the world! The exact number is unknown because there are just so many, and also because the tale of Cinderella was passed around orally for so long before it was actually written down. Also, because of this, no one knows exactly when the tale began. However, it is believed that the first version to be written was by the Greek geographer, Strabo, around 7 BC.

Traffic Cone
Traffic cones are also known as witches' hats! The first historical accounts of Witches with pointed hats, comes from Olde England where women brewed and sold ale on the street corners. They wore tall pointed hats so that they would stand out in the crowds. They always had cats to protect the grain, herbs, dried fruit and yeast from mice and rats. And of course the good Christian wives hated them for the drunks who came staggering home at all hours. So, before long, the church went after them and the Witches became the enemies of the Church!

These marine creatures typically live in anemones in shallow warmer waters with reefs and lagoons.
Clown Fish
In order to live among the anemone, clownfish protect themselves from nematocyst strikes. Nematocysts are harpoon-like stingers on the anemone’s tentacles used to capture prey and ward off predators. While other fish approach the anemone as a potential food source, the clownfish doesn’t even try to eat the nutrient-rich tentacles. This avoids triggering an attack from the anemone.
