We all know why big brands in the food industry use a lot of certain colors in their logos like red and yellow because those colors stimulate our brain to think about delicious food which would in turn influence our actions.

But what happens when food which we have associated with a certain color would be changed into a different color? Would adding more of a certain color or reducing it really make food more or less delicious?

Tom Vanderbilt wrote this article on Nautilus explaining the science behind our perception of food based on their color:

"In a 1980 study, subjects were blindfolded and asked to tell whether the beverage they were drinking was flavored orange. Only one in five could. But when they were allowed to see what they were drinking, each of them identified the orange flavor. And when a lime-flavored drink was colored orange, nearly half of respondents thought it was flavored orange—none did when it was green."

This photo of Jupiter was taken on Oct. 29 by NASA's Juno Cam and was enhanced by two citizen scientists Gerald Eichstadt and Sean Doran. When NASA JPL posted it on Twitter, several people shared their thoughts on the incredibly awe-inspiring photo.

Noel Blaney (@LividLFC) wrote: "I saw a Squid," putting the photo side by side with an uncanny resemblance to the sea creature.

Another user, Paula (@cantwell14) said she saw the Virgin Mary with a diplodocus:

Other users also joined in the fun. Wonder of Science (@wonderofscience) pointed out its resemblance to Van Gogh's A Starry Night while others such as Astro Yuki (@AstroYuki) drew lines to show the image of a dragon breathing fire through its nostrils:

When we die, we often want to leave some kind of legacy behind us or something that we can pass on to the next generation. For this Canadian tattoo artist, his passion was his legacy and he wanted his tattoos to outlive him.

Before his last days, Chris Wenzel had hoped his children would get to appreciate the work he has done:

"He fell in love with art and had such a passion for tattoos," his wife, Cheryl Wenzel, told the Canadian Press. "He would say he was a slave to the needle because he loved to tattoo so much."

Check out this article from The Guardian to know how Chris' dying wish was fulfilled.

Nobody really thinks about why certain things are the way they are, we mostly just accept them as we know them today. However, there is a little bit of history when it comes to car tires. Originally, they were off white in color and then they became bright white.

So how come are they black now? Read more about this article by David Tracy on Jalopnik.

How much do we really know about our geography? How accurate do you think your mental map of the world is? Would you be surprised to know that countries and continents in the world are not exactly the way you think they are?

For instance, we all know that South America is south of North America, of course. But you may be surprised by the fact that virtually the entire South American continent is east of Florida. "There are lots of possible reasons for geographical misconceptions like this one", says cartographer John Nelson.

Check out other geographical misconceptions you may have on this article by Betsy Mason at the National Geographic.

Would it be an incredible feat to tell a person's life story just by looking at their earwax? Well, that's not possible for humans however, it is different for certain species of whales.

The ear is the window to a whale's soul. So much can be known about these whales just by looking at their earwax and in a new study, researchers used this to track whales' stress levels and how their bodies responded to all the changes happening in their marine ecosystem.

Over the course of a whale’s life, the waxy material is deposited in its ear canal, leaving a roughly foot-long structure that can be recovered after the animal’s death. Much like a tree’s rings, the layers in the wax can tell a story about the whale’s life. With a layer being deposited every six months, it’s possible to work out how old the whale is and get some clues about the experiences it faced throughout its history.
