SANDWICHES came about when an English earl was too busy gambling to eat his meal and needed to keep one hand free. POTATO CHIPS were first cooked by a chef who was furious when a customer complained that his fried potatoes weren\u2019t thin enough. Coca-Cola, Silly Putty, and X rays have fascinating stories behind them too! Their unusual tales, and many more, along with hilarious cartoons and weird, amazing facts, make up this fun-filled book about everyday items that had surprisingly haphazard beginnings. <\/p>\n

And don’t miss Eat Your Words about the fascinating language of food!\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u201cA splendid book that is as informative as it is entertaining . . . a gem.\u201d \u2014Booklist, Starred Review<\/p>\n
