MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Do flies have a purpose?

Everyone hates flies. They might be the most annoying bug on the planet. There’s even been a whole product line created (fly swatters) to get rid of them. But do they actually have a purpose?!

The answer is yes. They do. A big one actually. Tiny flies pollinate cocoa trees. So without flies, there wouldn’t be chocolate.

Think about THAT next time you grab that rolled up magazine. Long live flies and delicious chocolate!
