THREE things we did not know about the USA:
- The United States is known for being super-sized, and it also has the longest land border in the world. Stretching for over 8850 kilometres, the US shares the border with its northern neighbour Canada.
- Americans love their pizza – so much so, that they collectively eat 100 acres of pizza every day. That’s around 300 billion pizzas a year. The most popular time to order pizza is around the Super Bowl.
- The 50-star flag was designed as a high school project by 17-year old Robert Heff. It was 1958, and there were only 48 states at the time but Heft had a hunch Hawaii and Alaska would soon be granted statehood. His teacher gave him a B- but went on to update the grade to an A after Heft submitted his design to the White House, eventually leading to a call from President Eisenhower that it had been selected as the official U.S. flag!
