Most Wasabi is Fake
Wasabi is a delicious addition to any sushi dish...or something is. Turns out, 99% of all the wasabi sold in the US is fake! The real stuff is pretty expensive, selling at $160 per kilogram. What people in the US are used to eating is a dyed mixture of horseradish and hot Chinese mustard. So maybe you like wasabi on your dish, but it's not likely to be the real deal.
Flying Fried
Cooking oil doesn't just make for a tasty dinner, but also for a type of jet fuel! Well, kind of. Qantas Airlines, one of the largest airlines in Australia, has been on the hunt for jet fuel alternative and discovered that a blend of half regular fuel and half cooking oil works just fine for the skies! Even better, it produces 60 percent fewer carbon emissions than the way we've been doing it.
