Features:
Chameleon: The chameleon gives the impression that its body color changes with the environment, has a long tongue, and two eyes that can freely rotate to view different targets. Additionally, its curly tail, horns on the head, and uniquely gripping toes make it a highly popular pet among reptiles.
Ice Cream: On hot summer days, enjoying the coolness of ice cream is certainly a delightful experience. Do kids know that the largest ice cream ever produced in history weighed over 24 tons and was made in Edmonton, Canada, in 1988? You definitely won’t see such a thing in a regular ice cream shop.
Pineapple: We often see pineapples soaked in saltwater on the street. Why is that? Ripe pineapples contain a lot of sugar and have a sweet and sour taste. However, pineapples grow in the south, so to preserve them during long-distance transportation, they are picked before fully ripe. The bromelain in pineapples can make them taste very sour, but salt can inhibit the activity of bromelain, reducing the sourness.
