Raisin Monday in Scotland
Students at St. Andrews University in Scotland were inundated with shaving cream foam today (November 21, 2011) during the annual 'Raisin Monday' ritual. According to University lore, Raisin Monday started back in the early days of the school when freshmen gave upperclassmen a pound of raisins to thank them for helping new students adapt to life at the school. In exchange for the raisins, the upperclassmen give the freshmen a receipt scribed in Latin. Nowadays, bottles of wine have replaced the pounds of raisins and the shaving cream has become a standard tradition.
