Thanksgiving by the Numbers

One out of 10 people don't even make turkeys on Thanksgiving? (Are they eating chicken or tofurkey?) That's just one of the startling revelations in this "Thanksgiving by the Numbers" infographic from Viewpoints. And as it turns out, only 48 percent of turkey eaters bake their bird, so the other 52 percent must be cooking it via other means, like deep-frying! (Yikes!)

Thanks Trivia

This FreshDirect infographic gives us a glimpse into how the grocery chain operates as it relates to your Thanksgiving meal. For instance, if you stacked up all the cans of cranberry sauce customers bought from FreshDirect alone, it would stand twice as tall as the Empire State Building. It's amazing how much we consume during the holiday season, and for that matter, every day, isn't it?

Thanksgiving Dinner on a Budget

We're sad to report that the average Thanksgiving meal will set families back 13 percent more than it did last year and 16 percent more than the year before that. Inflation is alive and well. Luckily this infographic from Yummly.com provides some money-saving tips to help keep your budget in check.

How to Carve Up Your Thanksgiving Calories

Its tagline: "Stuff your turkey, not yourself" hit home with us. While men should be consuming 700 calories per meal (on average), women should be at 500. This infographic breaks down just how much you should consume to stay within that range (if you so desire).

Turkey and Travel: How We Celebrate Thanksgiving

According to this infographic from Nationwide Bank, the first Thanksgiving ever was in 1621. What was on the menu? Wild goose or duck, wild turkey, deer, flint corn, fish, shellfish, and eel—pretty different from today's traditional feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, and corn. We also learned that you can no longer blame tryptophan for your turkey coma. As it turns out, other meats also contain comparable levels of it. All those carbs are what truly makes you tired!

Thanksgiving Ideas

Not set on your Thanksgiving plans? This infographic from Overstock.com gives us new alternatives to the traditional turkey: deep fried (but keep in mind there are important safety tips to note because there is a large margin of error and fire here), the turducken (which means you layer turkey, duck, and chicken to make one massive dish), and of course, tofurkey.
