I thought I'd start this topic as I'm sure all of us stumble across interesting 'trivia' as we peruse the media or indeed our own brains.

Here are ze rules, vich vill be obeyed :
As in 'Where On Earth', no Googling, and the first person to get the correct answer asks the next question.

Here's my starter :

Volkswagen made 6.2 million cars in 2019 in its German factories. What did it make more of?
(The answer is not a component of a vehicle.)

Hybrid electric cars or something? Read it once in the WSJ.

Nope. Clue, it's nothing to do with cars or transportation.

Had no idea they made anything but vehicles. i was going to say luggage, but that is transport related....what about hair combs?

Baseball caps?

It’s got me stumped then.

They made 6.8 million of this product last year. It doesn't last very long.

Sausages!

I saw it in an online paper this morning.

You also read News24! Yes, correct answer, specifically, Currywurst.

Who won the last Daily Mail transatlantic air race? From London to New York?

Wasn't it the Royal Air Force in a Harrier.

Take it away Goldie, you're it.

OK, what is the maximum age a termite Queen can live to.

Two years?

I reckoned way longer than that but didn't have any idea so I did look it up. Surprisingly my guess was in the range.
