When you order a drink that isn’t supposed to have cinnamon in it but still smells like it — don’t even try it!

Black stripes on yellow school buses aren’t an element of design. They’re actually metal rails put along the sides and the back of the bus to protect its rather thin walls. In case of a collision, they absorb most of its force. It means that the crash doesn’t affect large areas. These “rub rails” are also positioned in strategically important spots. The lowest one runs at the floor level. The middle matches the bottom of the seats. And the top one corresponds either to the top of the seats or the bottom of the window.
Every single item that reaches the nearest grocery store has been planned to its last detail, regarding both quality and design. And sometimes they include features that are very hard to understand the real purpose of. But, of course, there is a perfectly logical explanation that makes us realize how everything around us has its very own special function.
The earliest known written recipes have been found as long ago as 1730 B.C. So even back then, people were saving great recipes to create (and recreate) the perfect meal.

Apart from being a great food additive and warding off vampires, garlic has cleansing properties that can make things more tolerable around the bathroom. And we can all use that. Freshly crushed garlic cloves contain a variety of antimicrobial properties. Allicin reduces the build-up of bacteria and fungi. The natural cleansing properties of garlic are not only great for the environment, but they can also help you avoid the need to constantly clean the toilet. Simply crush up a piece of garlic and put it into your toilet bowl before you go to bed. The next morning flush the toilet. Allicin has done the grueling task of cleaning the toilet for you. Doing this two times a week will ensure a very clean toilet bowl.
Always choose wisely when ordering meat at a restaurant. Especially when it comes to the ground meat most of us have in burgers. Why? When the piece is ground to reach the desired consistency, harmful elements from the surface of the meat can get inside. And it can potentially render the dish unsafe to eat.
The art of cooking is a challenge, as it requires a lot of skill, time, and focus. The ideal goal is to prepare a meal that delights the palate, does not stick to the bottom of the pan, and does not burn. Unfortunately, not all of us do well in the culinary arts, even if we try our best.
Smoothie recipes abound on the internet, and we can make whatever we want for a specific diet, as a pre-workout drink, or simply to cool off in the summer heat.

Picture this scenario: you’re out on the street and the person walking in your direction is an A-list celebrity. You get 3 wishes or, in this case, questions, what would you ask them?

Sometimes, even a huge bunch of culinary knowledge can’t protect you from making disappointing mistakes.

When buying different foods, we look at the “best before” inscription without hesitation.
