This food item’s journey to India began in the late 18th century, when Seth Dinshaw Petit
visited Central America. One of his finds was the Amazon rainforest tree, bearing brown
fruit by the name of Xīcohtzapotl.
The western and the northern part of our subcontinent went with the first part Xīcoh
whereas the other parts decided to go with the latter part Tzapotl. And this is how this
cute and endearing food item came about in the Indian household.
What are we talking about?
The sap of this tree was called Tzictli by the Aztecs which literally meant sticky stuff, this
when boiled turns into an elastic item which was used in the modern version of a kid
friendly food. A type of keyboard having keys similar to that of this food was also called
by the same name. (image follows)

The Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), was developed by an
American company for the updated version X-Y of an older product X with the aim of
making X-Y behave like its predecessor. This was to ensure users wouldn't notice any
changes or need extra time to adapt to new features.
The introduction of this system backfired spectacularly. About half a decade ago this
system caused two infamous occurrences just a few months apart. As a result, this
particular product was banned all over the world until the faults were rectified over the

Across nearly four centuries, various writers have chronicled the tale of an English
king especially fond of fine dining (any one of a succession from Henry VIII to
Charles II) who coined the word X, by knighting, a choice piece of meat.
The real death blow to this etymology, however, is the fact that the word was
originally written in a way that reflected its origins in the Middle French word with
the first part meaning "over" and latter meaning “genitals” — hence X is a cut of
meat taken from above the genitals .

After all the speculations that X would perform their iconic song, the news broke in late February that
they had been confirmed for a song and dance extravaganza.
Rehearsals began about four weeks before the big day when X’s vocal team and choreographer
started looking for their “movement language” for X, because X wasn’t just sitting and singing X was
dancing, climbing stairs all while singing live.
Everything was planned, from X starting in the audience, coming up to see Mark, see Andrew, igniting
the Candelabra Girls or in this case ___-_______ Men, right down to X’s kiss of the cameraman’s
hand.

An ad film released in 1976 was trying to ride on the popularity of a film that was
released a year ago. The ad recreated the characters and scenes from the movie.
Instead of the heroes, the ad uniquely had the villain endorsing the product. This
decision was taken since it was believed that it was the main antagonist’s
dialogues had more impact than any others.
This risky ad was a success and consumers were soon asking for "______ ka
biscuit". Irony is that while the villain claims that children fears him (in the movie),
in real life, children loved the product endorsed by this villain.

In X, you can find an inscription on an object Y which roughly interpreted as it

This could be a sneaky reference to the fact that the whole thing on which X is

Or rather this could not be so cryptic but simply referencing that Y was opened
when everybody thought it was the end.

Witcher 3 is full of Easter Eggs. Following are some of the references found in it to a

This is very similar to the moniker X’s protagonist has.
● A graveyard in Temeria contains angelic statues. When out of sight, you will find
that they have moved and are staring at you. This is a nod to a race of creatures
found in X, which are disguised as statues and move when not being seen.
● On entering through one of the portals in Skellige, Geralt says, "It looks smaller on

X was invented in 1963 by British entrepreneur Edward Craven Walker, the founder of
the lighting company Mathmos.
It consists of a bolus of a special coloured wax mixture inside a glass vessel, the
remainder of which contains clear liquid. The vessel is placed on a base containing a
light bulb whose heat causes temporary reductions in the wax's density and the liquid's
surface tension. As the warmed wax rises through the liquid, it cools, loses its buoyancy,
and falls back to the bottom of the vessel in a cycle.

In fact this mythological reference was so common that it came to have a

Since 1927, the TIME magazine has annually chosen a “Person of the Year”. Its
recipients have included people such as Mahatma Gandhi, Pope John Paul II, Jeff
Bezos, Taylor Swift and several US presidents and other heads of state.
Controversial wins have happened occasionally, often because TIME magazine sees
the title as reflecting influence over events, while much of the public views it more as
an honor or award.
Two of these most controversial selections came in 1938, and 1979. Both of these were
political figures. While the 1938 recipient had consolidated power by annexing
neighbouring regions, the 1979 recipient had overthrown the monarchy to establish a

X and Y are two techniques of a certain activity. X is more of a local (think

although X is not against the laws of that activity but it is generally looked
upon globally.
But this was not always the case. Infact X was the customary technique in
the initial version of the mentioned activity.
It was in 1807 when a certain John first modified X and hence credited
with the first use of the new technique Y.
There's a myth that John learned Y from his sister Christiana. John used to
practice the mentioned activity with her sister. But Christiana’s massive

This “artform” X has its earliest recorded instances date back to ancient Egypt.
The artists practised X with intricate design and patterns, soon it became a
symbol of the artist’s skill. The better their skills are the costlier their “canvas”
sells. Some artists event trademark particular patterns of the artform X.
Though X is done for decorative purpose but it has a practical and mythical
reason behind it.
Practical reason being that the different patterns of X allowed to easily
differentiate between different type of “canvases”. So that the buyers
themselves know the type of “canvas’ just by seeing the design on it.
Mythical reason being that X was done as precautionary measure to let the
devil out of the “canvas” which prevented the “canvas” from fluffing.
