9 Things That Sound Like Insane Hoaxes But Aren't

9. The Chocolate Pudding Fruit

So you know how fruit is boring and chocolate is great? Well it turns out that you can have the best of both worlds. It sounds like an internet hoax to taunt struggling dieters, but the Black Sapote fruit are a type of persimmon native to Mexico, Guatamala and the Caribbean and they have the same texture, colour and flavour of chocolate pudding. From the outside, they look like an unripe tomato, and from the inside they look distinctly rotten, but they're reportedly completely delicious. You could even try pairing it with a custard apple for the ultimate way to cheat the universe. Getting your five-a-day in has never been so delicious, and this miracle fruit actually contains twice the amount of vitamin C as a normal orange. Unless you live near where it is cultivated, you're unlikely to find this in your local supermarket, but you could always buy a tree online and have a go at growing your own.
