The Strangest Calls to the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line

(via Popular Mechanics)  There’s a blue and yellow building in Naperville, Illinois, where, every year more than 50 specially trained men and women sit in a large room and work 12 hours a day to make sure your Thanksgiving meal doesn’t suck. It’s the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line, and for the past 35 years, from November through December, chefs, dietitians, and nutritionists with specific turkey training (from a four-inch-thick manual) have fielded calls about the bird (and its sides) from panicked cooks who are on the verge of completely screwing up dinner.
