Hungry Jacks is a Burger King subsidiary. TIL I should really double check things. RE: Today I Learned - Butty Brennan - 26-12-2021 TIL that these nutcracker statues are literally nutcrackers. You put a nut in the mouth and push down the handle in his back to crack it. I thought that was so you could pretend it was talking like a puppet. I also hought they were called nutcrackers because they were in the Nutcracker ballet or something. RE: Today I Learned - nothing - 26-12-2021 Oooh!
