      Book Overview

      Who Knew' is a collection of tidbits and trivia about well-known personalities and products that we all are familiar with-or at least think we're familiar with. For example, did you know that the VW Beetle was commissioned by Adolph Hitler (and designed by Ferdinand Porsche)' Or that the name Oz came to author L. Frank Baum when he noticed the drawers of his filing cabinet were marked A - G, H - N, and O - Z' From Twinkies to Tupperware to toys and television, these offbeat informational nuggets are guaranteed to entertain and enthrall.

Since, I've given a number...

      Who Knew? Things You Didn't Know About Things You Know Well

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Did you know that Twinkies originally had banana-flavored filling in them rather than the vanilla we all know and love so well? They did, up until WWII when there was a banana shortage in the U.S. To quote the author, Who Knew? This is just one of the interesting tidbits of information you'll glean from this book. A must-read for any trivia lover, Who Knew? also makes enjoyable reading for the merely mildly curious. Have...
