So my daughter received a nice "I ♥ new york" sweatshirt on which the heart was replaced by a regular apple. I asked my daughter if she understood the apple and she told me: "yeah it's the iphone/ipad apple!"
I then explained it's a different apple...it's NY's nickname "big apple". Then she asked: why is NY nicknamed "big apple"!
My face was like this: ....never asked myself this question and have no clue!
Anyone has an idea why NY is nicknamed "big apple" ?????
What I find very interesting, is how common knowledge is lost and replaced throughout time. I'm certain, somebody's grandparents know why NYC is called the big apple, yet wouldn't necessarily know apple the company let alone the logo.
