    Did you know that a barcode scanner actually reads the white spaces between and not the black bars themselves .....

    Ancient Egyptians would shave off their eyebrows as a sign of mourning for their dead cats.


    Modern Egyptians shave their pubes in celebration of a new camel.

    / Ok I made the fact about camels up.

    Not strictly true. The white spaces reflect a bright light, the black bars a not so bright light. The scanner picks up both lights and converts them into binary digits which are interpreted in a variety of ways.

    Shellac, what gives jellybeans (amongst other foods) their shine is made from secretions from a beetle's rear end. (Not actually poop though as some places say)

    Was curious about this so googled it. Apparently this was very much the case for a long time (and it's still used in some fragrances) it's not really used in food anymore because it is too expensive and they use other stuff nowadays.

    Still listed as safe for food though and could be hidden under "natural flavours" on an ingredient list.

    Beaver bum extract has been around since at least the Roman times.
