How much do you know about Valentine’s Day? In her latest trivia challenge, Rachel’s quizzing the Ladies on the holiday that everyone seems to love (or hate, or not actually care about … as Rachel says, “There are only really three options.”).

Was Saint Valentine real? What’s his story? Is it romantic? If now, where did all the lovey-dovey stuff come from? (Hint: the answer will probably surprise you.) And what, exactly, do postage stamps, black noodles, cow hugging, and riots all have to do with Valentine’s Day?
