WHAT ARE SOME<br />

OF THE MIND<br />

BLOWING FACTS<br />

THAT YOU HAVE<br />

EVER COME<br />

ACROSS?<br />

By Ivan Mihajlovic<br />

Oh boy, get ready<br />

to have your mind<br />

blown! I’ve come<br />

across so many mindblowing<br />

facts that it’s<br />

hard to pick just a few.<br />

But I’ll give it a shot and<br />

share some of the most<br />

fascinating ones with you.<br />

Get this: Honey never<br />

spoils!<br />

Archaeologists have<br />

discovered pots of honey in<br />

ancient Egyptian tombs that<br />

are over 3,000 years old and still<br />

perfectly edible. Thanks to its low<br />

water content and acidic pH,<br />

honey creates an inhospitable<br />

environment for bacteria and<br />

other microorganisms to grow.<br />

Talk about nature’s ultimate<br />

preservative!<br />

Ever wonder why<br />

flamingos are pink?<br />

Well, it’s all because of<br />

their diet! Flamingos eat a<br />

lot of shrimp and other small<br />

crustaceans that contain a<br />

pigment called carotenoid.<br />

This pigment gets deposited in<br />

their feathers, giving them that<br />

iconic pink hue. So, next time<br />

you see a flamingo, remember<br />

that it’s all about what they<br />

eat!<br />
