Did you know …
That paper—common, everyday paper—is made out of . . . trees?! It’s true!
I know. I know! Soft, white, flexible, foldable paper . . . made from trees. Who would have thought? But I have it on good authority that this is the case.
Exactly how paper is made from trees is a closely guarded industry secret, but the answer is fairly obvious to anyone with a keen, scientific mind. Clearly, each sheet of paper is carefully shaved from the stout trunk of a tree, not unlike the way potato chip makers make potato chips. Unlike potato chips, of course, the tree slices are then trimmed into rectangular shapes, sometimes dyed for use by children, and rarely eaten.
You heard it here first!
