I have a whole notebook full of Food Facts. I’m trying to choose some of the most interesting to share with you. I am hoping that some of you will share with me some things you know about different foods. The longest single sausage was 5,917 feet long (well over a mile.) Sausage makers in Barcelona, Spain made this sausage in 1986. It has been reported that Ernest and Julio Gallo learned to make wine from a pamphlet they happened to pick up at a public library in Modesto. Speaking of some outrageous claims. Before the “truth-in-advertising" laws were enacted. Grape Nuts claimed that it “cures tuberculosis,” “cures malaria,” tightens loose teeth,” and “prevents appendicitis.” Can you imagine? Now this one really surprised me: In a jungle, if you happen catch the smell of a movie theater lobby, beware. Tigers mark the trees with their urine which smells, would you believe, like buttered popcorn? Flavored gelatin comes mostly from boiling cow bones and tendons.

Isn't it amazing to find out things like this. I have collected odd facts and trivia for many years now and I share what I know with my friends and family. Most people that know me, know that I am trivia nut.

I have collected trivia from a lot of different sources over the years and I enjoy knowing odd facts and sharing them with others. I'm sure they are probably already in a trivia book somewhere.

By the the time they finished the sausage, the front end probably spoiled.

I can only imagine where they stored it or even laid it out when it was being made.

Odd facts are what I collect and I enjoy sharing these "tidbits" with others. I just wish others would share their odd facts with me.
