T he banana is one of the most widely cultivated and consumed fresh fruits worldwide. It tastes pleasantly sweet and is very healthy with their vitamins and minerals. Bananas have a regulating effect on the digestion and, in addition, contain the hormone of happiness, serotonin. For most babies, the mashed bananas are often the first solid food after breast milk. Indeed, from childhood we wonder why are bananas curved! I t is quite easy to explain why bananas are curved. Bend shape is actually due to how they grow. Contrary to the idea that one has, bananas do not grow downward but upward.

T o understand the nature of Pringles and other stackable chips, forget the notion that they come from actual potatoes in any recognizable way. The Pringles Company (in an effort to avoid taxes levied against "luxury foods" like chips in the UK) once even argued that the potato content of their chips was so low that they are technically not even potato chips.

E njoy more than a cup of coffee, at KFC,  we will  soon be able to eat  the coffee cup. “Scoff-ee Cup “ is the name given to the edible coffee cups. Cups are made of the biscuit wrapped with a thin layer of sugar paper, then lined a layer of heat resistant white chocolate that does not melt instantly,  keep the coffee hot and cup crispy. A while later chocolate lining melts and biscuit softens for an easy bite without breaking the whole cup. How wonderful!

N o matter what it is, airline food tastes so bad. This thought is so widespread. There are already expressions like “Taste like Airplane Food" used to describe foods that do not taste good. This, of course, led the airlines to making great efforts to improve their meal; hiring best chefs to produce tasty dishes for the lucky business class.

B ananas are an astounding source of potassium and sugar. This popular fruit certainly has its own energy .... Nuclear! There is very little Potassium 40, more than enough to make the banana is radioactive. The normal banana contains at least 0.1 micro sieverts (0.1 μSv) of radiation. You get more radiation from eating a single banana than living within 50 miles of a nuclear power plant for a year. Interestingly, there is even “Banana equivalent dose” (BED) to measure small radiation leaks that occur in nuclear power plants.
