Then any strange, unusual or weird bits of trivia are shared and suddenly your feeling refreshed and find your anxiously waiting till its your turn to share your tidbit!

Brothers and sisters are notorious to see who can come up with the strangest, in hopes their conversational tidbit will steal the attention of everyone!  Its simply amazing what you can learn in a short Sunday afternoon while lounging around the family room.

Here are some trivia tidbits that may get passed around on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Hope you enjoy and feel free to share your favorite tidbits of information!

Did you ever wonder why the cereal "Grape Nuts"  is called Grape Nuts, when it doesn't have nuts or grapes?
Charles Post thought it tasted "nutty". He thought its taste came from dextrose, called grape sugar at the time, yet the cereal was made out of wheat and barley.

Every wonder why "sugary" cereal is always easy for kids to find in the grocery stores? Because all "high sugar" cereals are purposely placed at the eye level of our children! Great marketing!

Now guess who consumes the most Frosted Flakes?  Adults consume 46% of frosted flakes! I guess kids aren't the only ones who love sugary cereals!

Did you know, if  your in Arizona,  its illegal to hunt camels in your state!

Did you know, in 1977, Ken Olson, President, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Company, said, " There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home". WOW
