#FakeAvocadoFacts – The Believable and The Hilarious

Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Carrots give you night vision, Oreos are as addictive as cocaine and it takes seven years for gum to digest. Pop Science myths surrounding food and health tend to walk a fine line between the conceivable and the sensationalist.

Which is probably why #FakeAvacadoFacts are so entertaining.
