My Notes April 2025 Week 1

Japanese supermarket Belc set the record for most people eating ehomaki simultaneously.

311 people successfully ate the ehomaki correctly.

The ehomaki had to be eaten silently within 10 minutes while facing a certain direction.

The direction differs year to year; this year they had to face towards west-southwest.

For this event, the supermarket brought a variety of sushi rolls to suit people's tastes.

April 6 is Twinkies Day.

The Twinkie is an American snack described as "golden sponge cake with a creamy filling". Twinkies were invented on April 6, 1930, by Canadian-born baker.

The original Twinkies were filled with banana cream.

In the 1940s, bananas were rationed so they switched to a vanilla cream filling.

A similar snack in Japan is called the Tokyo Banana.

“To fix someone a drink” means “to prepare a drink.”
I’ll fix you a cup of coffee.

 “Flat broke” means “having absolutely no money.”

I’m flat broke until payday.
