Diversions:🥒 Food Facts That Slapped Me With Surprise (and a Side of Sass)

Round 2 of random distractions…

Sometimes I just crave random little nuggets of knowledge—like mental popcorn. Here’s a buffet of food facts I stumbled across today. It is served with a generous drizzle of sarcasm and a pinch of wait, really?

🧠 Chewing gum boosts concentration because it increases blood flow to the brain. Apparently, my brain’s been riding a sugar-free treadmill all day. I chew like a cow in a stress seminar—who knew I was biohacking?

👑 Milk was once a luxury in ancient Egypt, reserved for royalty. So basically, Cleopatra was sipping lattes while peasants were like, “Is that… cow juice?” Classic.

🍏 Apples float because they’re 25% air. Which means every bobbing-for-apples game is just fruit trying to escape via buoyancy. Respect.

🌿 Rosemary improves memory. Which explains why I sniff my spice rack like it’s a library. Ancient medicine meets modern forgetfulness.

🐝 Honey is the only food made by insects and eaten by humans. And it never spoils. That honey bear in your pantry from 2003? Still good. Basically the Twinkie of nature.

🥬 Spinach loses most of its nutrients within days. So if you’re eating week-old spinach, congrats—you’re basically chewing green paper. I like mine fresh and sautéed, like a fancy leaf funeral.

💦 Watermelons are 92% water. Which makes them the emotional support fruit of summer. Hydrating, sweet, and always down to chill.

🍫 Chocolate was once used as currency. The Aztecs were out here trading cacao like it was Bitcoin. Honestly, still valid. I’d sell my soul for a good truffle.

🥒 Cucumbers are fruits. They grow from flowers and have seeds, so they’re fruit. Just like tomatoes. And my trust issues. English cucumbers only, please—I like my produce posh.

😭 Onions make you cry because of sulfur gas. They’re basically tiny tear-inducing drama queens. Slice one and suddenly you’re starring in a kitchen soap opera.
