You can use the inside of a banana peel to polish leather shoes and silverware and stop mosquito bites from itching!

It helps to get rid of all that stringy stuff on the inside first. You can also turn a banana into a smooth paste to use as a moisturizer for your face. Or you can rub the banana peel on your houseplants to make them look shinier. You can tenderize a roast with a banana too. Bananas are awesome!

There are no search results for + or - in Google.

There's a reason for this. These symbols don't work as search terms because they can actually be used to modify your searches. If you put a + before a search term, you are making sure all of your search results have that word. If you put a - before a search term you make sure that results with that word will not appear.

Television commercials have the power of suggestion to get you to eat when you're not even hungry. People also eat for social purposes, regardless of how hungry they are. Eating in a big group with 8 friends? You're likely to consume TWICE as many calories!
