In my relatives small town (back in the ’60s), they would throw rice but also COINS. As kids, we would scamper to pick up the pennies, nickels and dimes. Once in awhile, there would be quarter or two! That was a lot of money for a kid back in those days!

Tigressy isn’t here yet. I guess it’s my turn to ask the QOTD: Do you like rice?
Yes but not with raw fish. I prefer sashimi.

I have never seen a bird explode. I think that would be hilarious!

It is a myth that has been around for decades that birds will explode from eating rice.
