Question: What country will celebrate New Year’s tonight by eating a dozen grapes at midnight?
Answer: Spain. When the clock strikes midnight on Dec. 31, millions of people across Spain—and Spaniards around the world—celebrate by eating 12 grapes, one for each chime of the clock. It might sound easy, but keeping up with the clock is trickier than it looks. The challenge is to eat one grape with each of the 12 chimes at midnight, finishing just as the last bell sounds. Locals say each grape represents good luck for one month of the coming year—but only if you manage to eat them all in time.
