Here are a few teaser images to help you decide to click that button! Friday Finds | 03-28-2025 | Fun TimeToday is National Something On a Stick Day The use of sticks—skewers of wood—in the preparation and consumption of food items goes back a long way—a very long way. An archeological site in Germany contained a stick with a burnt tip, indicating its use in the cooking of meat over a fire 300,000 years ago, during the Lower Paleolithic era. Homer’s “Iliad” from ancient Greece mentions cooking meat on skewers, too. There’s no getting around it, food on a stick is fun. So, what's your favorite food on a stick? Share your answer in the comment section to be included in the next fun-time drawing! Since I won't be back home (where my Fun Time Jar is on the desk), until Tuesday, I'll announce the latest winner next week.
