~I'll go with the Guinness Book of World Records - just something prophetic about it. Either that or The Caterpillar Book. We have 3 libraries in our community but only one copy of the Bible between the 3 of them. Maybe the others have been stolen!

crocus. In case you're wondering why I say crocus, it's because it takes so many to get the tiniest amount of saffron. but I was tempted to say wheat. Maybe even corn because corn is in everything. This post was edited by georgysmom on Mon, Apr 14, 14 at 15:39

Not Ford? Ok, then Benz rather than add a post. Wow, I would never have guessed that person to be the first assembly line operations! This post was edited by rob333 on Tue, Apr 15, 14 at 8:21

Well, I would certainly hope an Oklahomian would get that one right! LOL Well, I have a Swedish friend who makes something like that, but I never connected it with the Mississippi Mud Cake so I'll guess Sweden. On the other hand, when I think of chocolate I think of Swiss chocolate so maybe it's Switzerland.

Bathing suits weighing eight pounds when dresses weighed fifty, probably about right!

I also vote for white paste. We used to eat it all the time in first grade. Bleah.

clay is another "fairly" common substance eaten (aren't these things called pica?) Don't know why I thought of this one.

My son is the goat who eats paper, but I remember friends who did too, hence my first answer. But the clay one is I remember in studying pregnancy disorders (I had one, so I was reading a book). It popped into my head just now.

This morning, I also thought of that show My Strange Addiction and there are people that eat TP, couch cushions, rubber truck tires, Vicks vaporub.... too many to list. I couldn't see any of those being 10% though.
