Welcome to Day 15 of my July trivia posts.*
Trivia: Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite.
This is true, but not as impressive as it sounds. Peanut oil can be turned into glycerol, which is used to make nitro-glycerine, which is used to make dynamite.
However, glycerol can be made from a lot of different ingredients, so peanuts aren’t always used and aren’t that special. It would be more accurate to say that peanuts might occasionally be one of the ingredients of dynamite.
I give this trivia a 7 out of 10. The trivia is sometimes true, but not unique.
*I’m doing something hard (for me) in July that I don’t want to talk about until August (in case I fail.) This something takes a lot of time, so I’m simplifying my July posts. I’m using a list of trivia that Aunt Patti emailed me. Each day, I will explore a trivia fact and bring you the truth, not just the clickbait. I might even rate the trivia. I think this will be fun because I love exploring new topics and sharing them with you. I hope you learn something too. If you do, why not share it with a friend. One of my goals is to get more readers, and word of mouth is a great way to do that. Many thanks.
