Quahog's scientific name is Mercenaria mercenaria, meaning "money" or "wages," a reference to its use in history. Today, these hard clams may not be used as currency, but they remain an important part of Rhode Island's food culture. Make sure to try Rhode Island clam chowder next time you find yourself in the Ocean State. 🌊

Tariffs are in the news again, so we thought we’d bring back this explainer to help kids (and maybe some of us adults?) understand what is going on.

To be clear, a tariff is technically paid by the company importing foreign goods. (Governments can’t tax the products on foreign soil.) But those extra costs often get passed along to companies and ultimately customers.

We have a whole episode about tariffs and taxes if you want to learn more!
