    Why were people in the 1950s afraid of… bananas?

    Believe it or not, a rumor spread that bananas could give you polio! In 1948, a polio outbreak in the U.S. led to a bizarre theory that contaminated bananas from Central America were to blame. Despite zero scientific evidence, the fear spread, and some people even avoided the fruit altogether. Eventually, experts debunked the myth, and bananas reclaimed their rightful place in fruit bowls everywhere. So, next time you peel one open, remember—it’s a snack, not a supervillain. Stay curious with Trivia Tidbits, and make sure to tune in tomorrow for your next dose of weird and wonderful facts!

    Peanut butter and jelly—who looked at these two and thought, yeah, that belongs on bread?

    Turns out, PB&J sandwiches became a hit thanks to soldiers in World War II. The U.S. military included peanut butter and jelly in rations because they were cheap, nutritious, and didn’t spoil easily. Soldiers started combining them, and when they got home, the trend stuck—literally. So next time you make one, thank the military for your sweet-and-salty nostalgia.

  • Think you lose most of your body heat through your head?

    Think you lose most of your body heat through your head?

    Think you lose most of your body heat through your head?

    Well, not really! The myth that we lose 40-50% of body heat through our heads comes from an old military experiment where soldiers were bundled up—except for their heads. Naturally, most heat escaped from the only exposed area. In reality, heat loss depends on what’s uncovered, so if you go outside in the cold wearing just a t-shirt but a warm hat, your arms and torso will lose more heat than your head! So yes, hats help, but don’t skip the jacket. Want more cool facts? Stick around for the next episode of Trivia Tidbits!

These little burglars wait until their neighbor isn’t looking, then swoop in and snatch a rock. Who knew penguins were basically feathered jewel thieves?

    Think Chewbacca’s growl came from outer space?

    Nope—it’s closer to the zoo!The iconic sound of Chewbacca’s growl was actually inspired by a mix of animal noises, primarily bears, walruses, lions, and even badgers. Sound designer Ben Burtt recorded and blended these natural sounds to create the perfect combination of warmth and ferocity for everyone’s favorite Wookiee. That’s why Chewie sounds both familiar and otherworldly—it’s nature’s finest remix!

    Think Mars is crawling with eight-legged creatures?
    Not quite, but scientists have spotted “spiders” on the Red Planet—sort of.These so-called Martian spiders are actually bizarre geological formations called araneiforms. They’re created when carbon dioxide ice sublimates—turns straight from solid to gas—under the Martian surface. As the gas escapes, it carves out spider-like cracks and channels in the dusty terrain. So no aliens here, just wild planetary geology doing its thing!
