The taste buds are I think very easily fooled.
I work with flavours a little and I've noticed that grapes seem to be in just about every flavour you can think of. I think that carrot was in something, like raspberry maybe but raspberry wasn't!
And sugar and salt. The more you put those in...that's like turning up the volume on yer stereo.

Now this might just be common knowledge to some but 'new' for some but still.
On Monday the 15th of February 1971 the UK started using decimal coinage whereby there's 100 Pennies in the Pound which made it the same as most other currencies. All very logical.
The changeover started the day before because London Transport changed their ticket machines on the Sunday and of course there were stories about some chap in a shop somewhere still holding out with the old money a month later.
Beforehand you had to be a mathematical genius because there was 12 Pennies in a Shilling and 20 Shillings in a Pound so there was 240 Pennies in a Pound.
Some expensive things were priced in Guineas and that was 21 Shillings.
A Shilling was called a Bob and 5 Shillings were called a Crown so people talked about Half a Crown or a Ten Bob note, even ''as bent as a Nine Bob note''.
On Tuesdays a totally different coinage was used....no, sorry that's just a joke.

10 percent of the entire world population is still illiterate.
Nations such as Afghanistan only have a 28 percent literacy rate for the total population.
