Calling all young fact-finders! Do you know your poo from your goo?

Test your knowledge of all things icky, sticky, smelly and disgusting with our ridiculously revolting quiz inspired by the book Gross FACTopia!, which contains 400 fantastically foul facts, all verified by Encyclopaedia Britannica!

Gross FACTopia!: Follow the Trail of 400 Foul Facts

Gross FACTopia!: Follow the Trail of 400 Foul Facts written by Paige Towler and illustrated by Andy Smith 

In this disgustingly marvellous world, you will discover facts about smelly sports, weird world records, rank rodents, vile Victorians, horrible medicine, gory gastronomy and more – all of which are connected in unexpected and hilarious ways!

Did you know ancient Romans sometimes purchased vials of gladiator sweat? Or that apes and monkeys sweat from their armpits just like humans do? Every fact in this Gross FACTopia! is linked to the next in an ingenious trail of information, where you will slither from topic to topic in surprising and stomach-churning ways. Sometimes your path branches, and you can catapult forwards or creep backwards to a totally different (but still connected) part of the book. Follow your curiosity (and your nose) through this ridiculously revolting world of facts!
