Question 1: Happy Festivus! Which ‘Seinfeld’ character invented this holiday?
- Frank Costanza
- Jerry Seinfeld
- Kramer
Correct Answer: Frank Costanza
Fact: Following an altercation with another man over a doll while Christmas shopping, Frank Costanza decided that ‘there had to be another way.’ And so, Festivus—a non-commercial alternative to Christmas—was born. Frank, played by Jerry Stiller, invented this holiday, which revolves around events such as ‘the airing of grievances’ and ‘feats of strength.’
Question 2: What metal is the traditional Festivus pole made from?
- Iron
- Steel
- Aluminum
Correct Answer: Aluminum
Fact: Chosen because of its ‘very high strength-to-weight ratio,’ the aluminum Festivus pole is traditionally left undecorated as Frank Costanza found tinsel ‘distracting.’
