Trivia Question: Send answers to [email protected]

Last month we asked you a trivia question regarding food and the manufacturing of war weaponry. It was another 2-part question and we asked: During what war were Americans urged to save this food fat so that it could be used to manufacture bombs? The answer was: World War II and bacon.

Be sure to keep tuning in for more great prizes and fun trivia questions! Once you hear the question, please email us your guesses at [email protected] and tell us who you want to give a shout-out to.

We hope to see you at the November Original EM Boot Camp LIVE in Las Vegas!
