When potatoes are exposed to excessive light, whether in a field or a factory storage, they tend to turn green because they begin to produce chlorophyll, a pigment that gives plants their green color.

As a result, small items get boxes that will fit inside the shipping vehicle with other packages.

When building a magnetron for some of his radar equipment, physicist and inventor Percy Spencer noticed the chocolate bar he had been carrying in his pocket had started to melt. Curious to see what would happen next, he directed microwaves at eggs, which exploded, and popcorn, which popped.

When bubble wrap initially appeared in the 1950s, it was intended to be wallpaper. However, two engineers chose to glue two shower curtains together instead, and this is how they managed to trap tiny air bubbles between them.

They were attempting to develop some sort of textured wallpaper, but it was unsuccessful. A few years later, IBM had to ship some data processors and needed something to protect them, which is when the bubble wrap phenomenon emerged. One study revealed that popping bubble wrap for one minute is just as relaxing as receiving a 30-minute massage.

Similarly, when we try to process something that generates red, green, blue, and yellow photons simultaneously, our eyes perceive it as white. This is the same reason white is perceived when red, green, and blue photons are processed simultaneously. To us, stars like our sun appear white.

We blink every four to six seconds, unless our eyes are more irritated in which case we blink more frequently to keep them moist and clean. The reason for this is that every time we close our eyelids, the tear glands release a salty substance that sweeps over the surface of our eye, flushing away all those tiny dust particles and also lubricating the exposed parts of our eyeball but blinking also assists our brain in resetting because it processes so many things continuously that it is only fair to give it a break now and then. We blink 15 to 20 times per minute, and when we close our eyes, we assist our brain in shutting down and taking a brief but still beneficial mental break.

For example, imagine eating a raw mango and sprinkle it with salt. You'll notice the salty flavor first, and the sweet fruity taste is then slightly delayed. The mango still tastes amazing and juicy. You can put salt on any fruit you like, but the effect will be different.

If you've had enough tears over onions when trying to slice them, this one is a must-try for you. Boiling them first, you can either put them in a pot and leave them over low heat on the stovetop or keep them in a baking sheet in a low oven. Then, add melted butter to coat the starch in the potatoes, and only then slowly add milk.

the onion skins Before you begin cooking, cut them in half and place them in a bowl of ice water in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This will help the onions absorb the sulfur from the soil that they need to thrive. Only use a sharp knife to slice onions so you can minimize damage to its cells. The acids contact the enzymes, starting a series of processes that release a chemical that makes your eyes water. Freezing the onion can weaken the chemical to minimize it even more.

Making a few crisscross incisions will make it much simpler to peel an avocado if it has been frozen first. Simply place the avocado in the refrigerator as is, give it some time, and then remove it.

If you don't have a vase big enough, the best approach to keep herbs fresh and juicy is to store them like flowers. Fill a mason jar or water glass with an inch of water, then add the herbs inside, parsley and cilantro first, just like you would your roses.

Place the bouquet in the refrigerator after sealing the jar with a plastic bag. You should leave basil on the counter unprotected since it enjoys exposure to sunshine.

If you've made too much sauce or have some leftovers in a can that don't seem to be enough for anything, you can keep it from going to waste by putting it in an ice cube tray and freezing it. Then, whenever you need to spice up a dish, just add a few sauce cubes. As an added bonus, the sauce will stay fresher in the freezer than it would in the fridge.

If your meatballs are consistently the same size and form, skip this step. If you're like me, though, use an ice cream scoop to measure the proper quantity of your minced meat mixture so that five times out of ten your fingers won't get sticky.

Mangoes can be sliced into hedgehogs for the quickest and most attractive result. Put the mango straight up on a cutting board and cut it into three pieces from the top down. Don't squeeze the mango when doing this. Just leave the flat pit in the middle piece; there isn't much you can do with it anyhow. Your mango will now have two adorable cheeks. Make a transverse and lengthwise incision in the mango cheeks, starting with its fattest portions. Make sure the cuts are evenly spaced apart and don't cut all the way through the skin before pressing on the mango's backside to see whether any flesh protrudes.
