Fun Fact

Hannibal's march over the Alps to Rome may not have happened if it wasn't for vinegar.

The passes across the Alps were too narrow for the elephants to get through. So Hannibal heated the boulders blocking their way. He drenched them with vinegar, which caused the boulders to crack and crumble, and they could easily be cleared away. Troops and elephants could then get through!
