I’m embarrassed to say (I’m 50 but learnt this a few years ago) that I thought peppers were different. Red, yellow, orange, green. Nope it’s just 1 pepper in various forms of ripeness. I felt such a tit for not knowing
I didn't know this either 😮

I knew the green is unripe, but I thought red yellow orange were different types. So they're all just one thing?

Do they have to ripen on the bush. I can't make my red pepper turn yellow at home?

I think it’s to do with heat and sunlight? And/or leaving them on the vine. I pop mine in the fridge though, so that’s probably why they don’t carry on ripening

Did we get our traffic light system from peppers? 😱
I feel like it would be the opposite way round though. As in, "stop! That green pepper is not ripe or even vaguely edible yet. Okay, go! The red pepper is perfect and needs to be eaten" 🤷

The pepper bombshell made me stop eating green peppers. It made me feel like I was eating something that wasn't ripe. Like a green strawberry.

Green peppers do taste like they're unripe though. That's why I never buy them!

I learned that if I attempt to carry too much I will drop something. I learned it years ago but I still try to carry my phone, my vape, my specs and two half empty cups to the kitchen.
Maybe I am just optimistic

"Zenzizenzizenzic" is a now obsolete mathematical term which referred to the eighth power of a number - so like you would use n² to refer a number squared - n x n - or n³ refers to a number cubed - which would be n x n x n.


Zenzizenzizenzic was a term used to refer to n⁸ - n x n x n x n x n x n x n x n


so the zenzizenzizenzic of 5 - or 5⁸ - is 390,625!! i'm not at all interested in numbers or maths, but i love words, and zenzizenzizenzic is one of those words that is so fun to say!
