Snow Cone King Sammie Bert introduced his handmade shaved ice concoction at
the Texas State Fair in:
A. 1903
B. 1919
C. 1922
D. 1926
...
The correct answer is 1919. If you Google "Sammie Bert" and "1919," there
are only two results. One is to Barrypopik.com, and the other is to ADS-L
(in a post I wrote). Who composes these quizzes?
