Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for September 22, 2019

Is that why egos bruise so easily??

I’ve heard about the mushroom ketchup on the Townsends channel on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29u_FejNuks

With just bananas? I would have thought it would be with all nuts and fruits.

Blabbermouth! I can never face the public again!

I think the red dye thing is also true for lipstick.

So that’s why that DNA testing company said I was the 5th cousin, 10 times removed from the second banana. When I look in the mirror, I can see a faint resemblance. :)

I may never eat red M & M’s again.

In 2012, customers were upset when they found out that a big coffee chain used that red dye in their drinks. That dye has been used in many other food products for years.

The broad definition of ketchup is any spiced sauce. That’s why the bottle says Tomato Ketchup.

Originally the term “Ketchup” referred to any table sauce, and in the far east a ketchup made of bananas is common

No need to go bananas over it!

So, vegans won’t eat candy now, eh?

Vegans only eat products that are labelled suitable for vegans.

Smarties had to withdraw their red Smarties when it was discovered that the Jewish and Muslim consumers were prohibited from eating them.

i’d like to try that mushroom ketchup

brits and mushroom ketchup…. hmm, that explains a lot…

We share our dna with every living organism

Now I wonder about ketchup made with peyote mushrooms.

Watkins products were sold as medicinal in America in the 19th and early 20th century!

There is a company with a similar name in Minnesota https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watkins_Incorporated

I remember several years ago, there was a news story about red food coloring coming from insects. Vegetarians and vegans were upset, because they believed the source of the red was not from animals. They felt the products had been improperly labeled; they had been, in effect, lied to. Apparently, the suppliers mistakenly believed the product qualified as non-animal sourced.

Ketchup was originally used to cover the putrid taste of spoiled meat.

there’s a lot of bananas that I find unappealing

so if I eat two bananas does that make me a cannibal?

Now I’ll feel like half-a-cannival when I eat a banana.

No need for a funeral for them just because we share half our DNA with them. Past their prime Bananas are great for Banana bread.

Bananas? Not Beanie Weenies? ~ Little Richard

“You’d say “toMAYto,” I say toMATo;” You say “ketchup” and I say “Catsup….”

I thought we shared our DNA with weasels.

DNA should only be shared between mutually consenting adults.

I might share my DNA with a banana, but I don’t share my banana with anybody.

Don Rickles must have had more banana DNA…

But then again we share 50% of our DNA with lots of things.

I’ll bet they could make some really wild ketchup out West with the mushrooms they have…

Third panel is nightmare fuel.

The “banana” comment explains a LOT about my family tree.

Does this mean that when we eat bananas, we’re cannibals? But I really don’t eat them. Unless it’s banana bread or banana pancakes made with super-ripe bananas that don’t have banana chunks in them. Otherwise, I only like banana-flavored stuff.
