Coca Cola was NEVER green

Contrary to internet lore, Coca-Cola has always been brown. The original Coca-Cola formula contained caramel, which gave it its distinct brown color. The brown color was important for the purpose of hiding imperfections. With modern production, that's less of an issue, but it's still naturally brown in keeping with tradition. And in case you were wondering, YES, Coca-Cola DID used to have cocaine in it back in the day. It was named after two of its key "medicinal" ingredients: coca leaves and kola nuts. However, Coca-Cola has been cocaine-free since 1929.

The hardest part of the human body is the enamel that covers the teeth.

This is important because underneath the enamel in your teeth is a soft pulp made of connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerve fibers. Bacteria in your mouth can produce an acid that wears out your enamel. When the acids dissolves the enamel and gets to the nerves, you'll get a really nasty toothache.

Not making your bed is actually better than making it

When you make your bed, it makes a more safer environment for the dust mites living inside you bed. An unmade bed's warm, dry conditions are harder for the dust mites to handle.

Leaving your bed unmade cuts down on the amount of moisture in your bed, so the mites dehydrate and die. This is good because dust mites leave allergens in your bed that trigger asthma and other allergies.

Bananas are awesome!

You can use the inside of a banana peel to polish leather shoes and silverware and stop mosquito bites from itching

It helps to get rid of all that stringy stuff on the inside first. You can also turn a banana into a smooth paste to use as a moisturizer for your face. Or you can rub the banana peel on your houseplants to make them look shinier. Heck, you can tenderize a roast with a banana too. Bananas are awesome!
