What You Learned Today # 6

For the last few years, we've been asking all the Vintage Vantagees what you've learned today. Here are some of our most favoritest answers:


It is possible to sew on a greyhound bus.

I learned that people in England are completely unfamiliar with the dessert Americans call "pudding." They refer to all desserts as "pudding", but they don't eat real pudding at all. The closest thing they have is a similar dish called blancmange that is thicker than regular pudding. Pudding cups are unheard of as well.

life is pain. anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.

according to wendy's my pants cost me twenty six jr. bacon cheeseburgers

Ducks do NOT have an echo! Yeah, thats just crazy!



Words of wisdom from sea to shining sea! So what did YOU learn today?
