    Bananas tend to ripen quickly, resulting in them getting spoilt and no longer being of use. Most people tend to leave bananas in a fruit bowl. However, with the amount of ethylene gas that the fruit produces, and the warmth of a kitchen, you’ll find that those conditions speed up the ripening process even more. Many people have tried various tricks to try and make their bananas last longer, and one that has become popular is storing them in the refrigerator.

    ‘The Cortège’ review: L.A.’s most exciting immersive show is a funeral

    Tell someone about “The Cortège,” and it may inspire as much apprehension as it does curiosity.

It’s a dramatic interpretation of a funeral, albeit one with jubilant street-inspired dance and a Sasquatch-like creature. And robots and drones.

    2026 Renault Megane to be reinvented with “hot hatch” look

    Renault will give the Megane a radical “hot hatch” facelift next year, in an effort to revive the EV’s stark downturn in sales. The current Megane launched in 2022 as one of the first of Renault new-age electric cars. While successful at first, after four years sales have dipped rapidly: down 67% (to 10,082) in the first half of 2025 compared to the year before.  This has coincided with the brand launching newer – and cheaper – EVs in the Renault 4 and 5 within the past year, which have racked up more than three times the hatch’s sale.

    Samson v Jitesh, Rinku v Dube, who will be a part of the playing 11

    Sanju Samson vs Jitesh Sharma Wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson prefers opening the innings, but vice-captain Shubman Gill has already taken that spot alongside hard – hitting opening batter Abhishek Sharma. Tilak Verma will most likely come into bat the number three spot, so Samson will have to play in the middle order, where he has less experience. On the contrary, Jitesh Sharma’s role is that of a finisher and he performed brilliantly in the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League where he played a crucial role in helping Royal Challengers Bangalore lift their maiden trophy.

    ‘Vinegar’ in most UK fish and chip shops isn’t actually vinegar at all

    Fish and chips are a British favourite, with an impressive 382 million portions consumed each year – that’s roughly six per person. While salt and vinegar are considered essential accompaniments to the dish, many might be shocked to discover that the ‘vinegar’ normally isn’t actually vinegar at all. Vinegar is created through the fermentation of alcohol and can be derived from a number of sources such as fruits, grains, or even honey. However, in the UK, most chippies opt for non-brewed condiment instead of traditional vinegar. Non-brewed condiment is a synthetic, vinegar-like substance made of acetic acid, water, and flavourings.…
