If cyanide is so poisonous why don't we detest the of almonds? I know that cyanide has the same smell as almonds and that no foods in our diet contain leathal amounts of cyanide compounds. But creatures like the pink dragon centipede use HCN as a deterent. So the distaste for almonds must occur elsewhere in the animal kingdom.

What's the deal with brain freeze?

Whenever I buy cheap ice cream (i.e. Mac Donalds Soft Serve) or service station slurpies I almost always get a brain freeze when I consume it too fast, I know how to prevent getting these (slow down consumption) and I assume that it's caused by the temp. of the food/liquid I'm consuming, but what is the science behind it? Is it muscles or something contracting really hard and fast causing a cramp? And why do i predominately get it from the cheap stuff.

P.s. I’ve theorised that I don’t get it from more expensive ice cream because it tastes so good that I take my time and enjoy.

How do they make chocolate raisins? I have wondered this for years. It's because they are so smooth and shiny all over with no sign that they have been left on a surface to dry. It's the same with Malteasers and other similar spherical chocolate sweets. Do they make them in space?

Why do humans prefer cooked food over raw? Having evolved eating everything raw, why don't we prefer that?
