"fun facts" from the official monopoly page...

Escape maps, compasses and files were inserted into MONOPOLY® game boards smuggled into POW camps inside Germany during World War II. Real money for escapees was slipped into the packs of MONOPOLY® money.

and i can't leave this one out...

In 1978, the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog offered a chocolate version of the game priced at $600.

we would play when we were kids... my older brother was the monopoly king of the house... he always seemed to get the best properties... and was merciless when you landed on them..

thank you all for your kind and fun comments on the brownie pic from yesterday... some of you commented that it looked like a face.. i didn't even notice.. made all the better by your additional observations!!! you all are so generous with your precious time to take a moment to observe and comment.. :)


happy tuesday!!

make it a great one!
