DO YOU KNOW YOUR TACOMA HISTORY ... AND LOVE FOOD? >>
Foodcaching is a new smart phone app alerting customers of awesome food deals at 16 restaurants in the greater Tacoma area. You may download the app for free on your iPhone and Android here.
The Weekly Volcano has teamed up with Foodcaching for the True Tacoman game. Every Tuesday and Friday right here on Spew, we post a Tacoma history trivia provided by the Washington State History Museum. If you know the answer, run to one of the 16 participating restaurants, come clean with answer and you'll receive points on your Foodcaching app, which you downloaded free here. We'll be running the True Tacoman trivia game through the end of the year.
The person will the most points on Dec. 31 will be crowned the True Tacoman and be flooded with various food prizes.
Friday, we posted the question: What did the indigenous people of the South Puget sound call Mount Rainier back in the day? You spent the last four days telling the restaurants listed below that is was Tacoba, Tacoma and Tahoma, thereby, scoring points on the Foodcaching app. It's much easier than actually climbing said mountain.
Today is Tuesday, which means we post another trivia question as part of the True Tacoman contest.
Beginning in the 1840s and moving foward in time, the citizens of the United States who arrived in the Pacific Northwest were known to the Native Americans as:
A) Yankees?
B) Bostons?
C) Mericans?
Answer the question correctly at one of the 16 participating restaurants below and score points - besides scoring awesome food deals from the restaurants. The correct answer will be revealed Friday, Nov. 25 on Spew. Also keep an eye on this blog for bonus game points and a special invite to the True Tacoman Game Party in early 2012.
Oh, you can download the free app here.
