This  article  originally appeared on ExtraCrispy.com.

Bananas are tropical fruits, and, in general, tropical fruits don't handle cold storage well. That's why the best way to store bananas is at room temperature, not in the fridge, especially when they're green and not yet ripened.

The history of QWERTY keyboard we use on our modern devices dates back to the later decades of the 19th century. It’s believed that QWERTY-style is there because people typed too fast and jammed the typewriters. But, in reality, it is because the telegraph operators using typewriters at that time faced difficulty in decoding Morse code. Over the time, with the input provided by the telegraph operators, QWERTY keyboard was evolved. We have been using QWERTY keyboards for ages. Most of us have been believing that the unusual arrangement of the keys, rather than ABCD, is because the people who used mechanical typewriters in the past moved their fingers too fast–fast enough that it would jam the typewriters. It might have been one of the probable causes which compelled active minds to think about arranging the keys in a random fashion, QWERTY.
