Let's get edumuncated people! Post a fun fact that others may, or may not know, with a link to prove your fun fact. One fun fact per post please. Don't be a know-it-all.

I'll get us started...

Did you know that "castoreum" comes from the anal secretions of the North American and European beaver? And they use these secretions as an artificial vanilla flavoring in foods and beverages like vanilla ice cream. It's also found in raspberry and strawberry flavored food and drink products. Yummy!

So remember that next time you sit down to order a vanilla ice cream - you're eating beaver butt.
