Today's What's That Fact trivia question went into the culinary world today. Usually the question centers around the mysteries of relationships but today we dropped into the world of side dishes. A a pretty popular side dish at that! What is it that we eat 30 pounds of each year?

That's right, we eat thirty pounds of this side dish every year. If you've played along with any W.T.F Question, you may recall that the fun part of the question is usually found in the comments section of the social media post that announces the whole thing.

This is the What's That Fact trivia question from August 5, 2024.WRAT

WTF? LOL. The What's That Fact Trivia Question from Aug 5, 2024

This time around there wasn't a lot of opportunity to get wild and crazy in the comments section because, lets face it... how many side dishes are there?

However, that didn't stop this guy from going out where the buses don't run for his guess for the 30 pounds of side dish we eat each year:

Ewwwwwwwwwww.  That's nasty!WRAT

Here's a fun fact, the FDA has various rules for how many bug parts, rodent hairs, mold and other nastiness can actually be in our processed food. Peanut butter, we're looking at you.

However, I'd like to think that the deep fryer would burn up any bug parts or rodent hairs that somehow got processed into our FRENCH FRIES.

That's right, kids: The correct answer for today's W.T.F Question is french fries.

Look Back At W.T.F Questions

We love the W.T.F Question because it's a great way to ease into the Monday workday.

The W.T.F Question is a trivia question that always asks the same question... and that question is:  What is THIS?

It's the best way to slip into the work week, shake off the weekend cobwebs and get your brain started.

So grab your java and a pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwich and join us for a scroll back through the W.T.Fs through time.

Something that people keep in their car.

Facebook had a field day with this one...

Turned out the answer was:  Toilet Paper

Male / Female relationships, question number 1,234

The answer to this one?  Clean Up.  Because, you don't do it correctly, guys.

Bad news riding shotgun in the car of broken dreams for this W.T.F

The answer is in the comments...

Please, don't say the answer is, "how to drive the damn thing".

Nah, the answer on this W.T.F was:  their license plate (Guilty as charged!)

Here's another car W.T.F that is STUNNING

The answer was: How to put air in their tires. Wow. That's incredible. Losing faith over here...

Here's another one that the Facebook audience had a field day on...

But the answer on this W.T.F Question wasn't so sinister.  It was, "the cost of the gym membership".

Ummmm... Yeah, I'm just gonna leave this as "age".

But the answer actually was, "dress size".  And quite frankly the way sizes change from designer to designer... it's kinda hard to know!

Well well welll....

Despite all her accusations the answer was, "Lose money gambling"

We think it's much higher around here

WTF 16 times a dayWRAT

This WTF Question was easy.

The answer was:  The average person CURSES 16 times a day.  No way that can be true about us in New Jersey.   We're way higher than that!

Prying minds would like to know

From their partnerWRAT

Yep, they don't tell them at all.

The correct answer:  A traffic ticket.

Mommy!WRAT

Really, guys? LAME!

Unbelievable but true.  Guys sometimes go to their mom because they forgot their social security number...

When Carl is not working at the greatest rock radio station known to mankind; a station known around the globe; a station that has the best music, co-workers, advertisers and most importantly THE BEST F'N LISTENERS you may find me doing any one of the following: Riding or making mountain bike trails. playing with his kids. playing sand volleyball on 5th Ave, cooking amazing food, including on his sweet smoker grill, going to concerts, swimming in the ocean, going to amusement parks with his kids, and other stuff that rocks!
