Christmas is great, but there's loads of ways to make it better like sneaking some chili into the gravy

for some extra oomps or building a playlist that will even get your none up on the table.

Or just cracking open an ice cold Pepsi Max. Christmas, better with Pepsi Max.

Welcome to the useless information podcast. I am Steve Silverman.

So let's start today's show with the question of the day and I thought I'd ask you about electric Christmas lights. You can love

them or hate them but they're just about everywhere during the holiday season and

clearly they haven't been around since the beginning of time.

So do you know in what year Christmas lights were invented?

And here are your choices.

Where they invented in 1, 1867, 2 1882, 3 1889, 4 1894, or 5 1903.

Again, when were electric Christmas lights invented?

Was it 1, 1867, 2 1882, 3 1889, 4, or 5 1903.

So go ahead, you know, throw another log on the fire, you can stare at your own set of

twinkling bulbs while you ponder over these five choices.

I'll let you know the date plus a little bit about the history of the lights at the end of this

podcast.

Since it is the holiday season, I thought it'd be nice to bring this podcast.

Since it is the holiday season, I thought it'd be nice to bring you a light-hearted story.

That really has little to do with any festive celebration, but I do hope that it brings a smile to your

face.
