MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Does honey ever go bad?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Does honey ever go bad?

I’ve been on a honey kick lately. In my tea, on peanut butter toasty, overnight oats. So much honey! But I was wondering does it ever spoil or go bad?

The answer is no, honey does not spoil. You could actually eat 3,000 year old honey if you had some. It’s the perfect long term food, so stock up. Thanks bees!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are most basketballs orange?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are most basketballs orange?

With March Madness starting this weekend and everyone filling out their brackets today’s mystery is basketball themed. Why are most basketballs orange?

The main reason is visibility. Back before the 1950s all basketballs were dark brown. Until Butler University’s head basketball coach Tony Hinkle decided the brown color was hard for everyone to see. The players, the fans, the coaches, and refs all complained about it. So he decided to choose a much brighter more visible color, orange! And it’s been that way ever since.
