Meth-amphetamines, commonly known in Thailand as Yabba. Was originally developed by Hitler during WWII to make his troops perform better, and therefore is also called "Nazi speed" in America.

OK more cranberry related randomness.

Did you know cranberry's generally aren't picked, but are grown in fields that are surrounded by dams. When the fruit is ripe the fields are flooded and they float to the surface of the water where they're scooped up.

Seems a mad way to go about things but that's Americans for you. You'd have thought they'd have enough cheap migrant labour in the states to pick the things by hand.

When you look at your fuel gauge in your car, the way the handle points on the picture of a fuel pump is the side of the car you fill up!

WD-40 got its name because there were forty attempts needed before its successful creation. The WD in WD-40 stands for Water Displacer
