I watch one old weird fruit video and the algorithm be like, "Oh, this guy must like videos made in 2014." Recommendation engines give me little hope for our AI overlords. I think it's a bit hyperbolic to call this a scam because it sounds like a legit snack in its own regard. Like someone made a treat and a few dummies decided to make up some bullshit to sell it to other dummies.

There's a surprising number of breeding hyena populations where there really shouldn't be. People bring exotic game over over somewhere to hunt, and then it turns out that species specifically adapted to blend in to brush are good at hiding in brush. I know a litter of rescued cubs was found out in Sweetwater, Texas around a decade ago, and it took them forever to identify them as they're not native and the cubs look like scrawny puppies.

In Taiwan, there are lots of street vendors that sells guava that are chopped up with core and stones removed, then soaked in flavored liquid. The salt in the liquid slightly dehydrated the guava and give it an interesting texture and a stronger flavor. Often they supply it with plum powder to make it taste even more interesting. IMHO this is for kids and people who don't know better, and just want big bold sour and sweet flavor. However, those vendors never hide the fact, you can often see them soaking it in front of you in their stall.

I was a 'tourist' in afghanistan a few years ago and they were making a lot of things like traditional knives out of really crappy cast aluminum/iron-silicates and trying to pass them off a authentic traditional pieces. But half of the charm was just how ingenius the 'antiquification' techniques they used on these items was. They could have made a killing working as prop artists on a movie set.

You should review all of the guavas together, pineapple guavas(both varieties, the rounder ones generally sweeter with better texture, and the ones that are skinnier and more oblong or American football shaped usually drier and more sour tasting) lemon guavas(try all of the different varieties you can find, different colors, shapes, seedless, sizes, and locations ect), strawberry guavas, and Chilean guavas(not actually guavas Ugni molinae) I think that would be better than just guavas alone and even then you should do strawberry or Chilean guavas for their rarity.

Yes, it’s just a guava, but it’s a really big guava.

@oozorakyou3 жыл бұрын
as a local who frequently going there, we rarely buy this kind of thing if we really looking for fresh healthy food, because we know it was processed fruit / junk food / pickles. sometimes people buy it out of curiosity or often as a joke by buy it and bring it home, just to show to family or friends what weird food they found during travel.. but if the seller try to convince people that this is legit real fresh fruit, that seller is pure scammer. _...also, I don't know why I'm here, ask KZbin algorithm lol._

I believe its called Syzygium samarangense aka Jambu Air (Malay) and Guava is called Jambu Batu (Malay). My dad use to plan it in our backyard.

+Honey Lemon Nope, its a guava that has been soaked in dye and sugar.
@eleongo3 жыл бұрын
Jambu air doesn't have shape like that, too round and big. Also the red "skin" is just too thick for jambu air.

I put in on high probability on not knowing the fruit rather than malicious intent ( peperino melon ant tomatillo) because it's a bizzare fruit when presented in Malaysia. The Cameron Apple though, the strawberry is kind of the whole gimmick of the Cameron Highland unfortunately. They go buck wild on just one fruit and in turn makes it boring to go to Cameron Highland anymore.
