2. When buying extra virgin olive oil, you may not get exactly what you expect. About 70% of the olive oil sold is actually not pure. Extra virgin olive oil has a peppery taste. Therefore, manufacturers are more likely to sell you diluted butter with a softened taste.

3. Did you know that store-bought “100% Real” orange juice is actually 100% artificially flavored.
To make orange juice at home, you simply squeeze an orange. On a production scale, oranges are squeezed first, and then the juice is packaged and air removed, since it must be preserved for at least a year without spoilage. At the same time, the aroma disappears, so manufacturers add an artificial flavor to the juice.
4. In the Japanese city of Tokyo, there is an amusement park that sells raw horse meat-flavored ice cream. And it's not a joke. This ice cream contains real horse meat. Other types of ice cream are offered in the park: with the taste of cow tongue, octopus and squid.
5. Do you like cheese? If you are a vegan, then you are in luck.
Casu Marzu is a cheese produced in Sardinia. The name itself literally translates as "rotten cheese". Kasu Marzu is deliberately infested with maggots and is classified as the most dangerous cheese in the world.
Kasu Marzu is made from sheep's milk, soaked in brine, smoked and left to mature outdoors, which allows cheese flies to lay their eggs inside it. Thousands of white transparent larvae hatch from the eggs. When they feed on cheese, they produce enzymes that ferment and decompose the cheese.
Kasu Marzu is edible only if the larvae are still moving, because after they die, the cheese begins to deteriorate and becomes toxic for human consumption.
