An image showing a vintage ad for orange juice from the 1970s that featured actress Joan Crawford saying “I enjoy seven inches every morning” was recirculated on social media since 2 months ago.

This is not a genuine newspaper advertisement but a fake ad created by altering the images on a genuine vintage advertisement for orange juice from the 1950s, and then changing the original slogan to the sexually suggestive version shown above.

The Florida Oranges Commission ran a series of advertisements in the 1950s, in Life Magazine that encouraged people to drink more orange juice. These ads typically carried the slogan, “Drink This Much Florida Orange Juice Every Day” or “For the Vitamin C You Need Every Day”:

Claim: A vintage ad for orange juice from the 1970s featured the slogan from actress Joan Crawford, “I enjoy seven inches every morning.”

The fake “Joan Crawford” ad was created by altering one of these vintage ads. In the comparison below, you can see the remnants of the original’s yellow bow below Joan Crawford’s face:

We rate this ad FALSE. However, we are unable to determine who created the fake Joan Crawford ad.

A picture of a large snake and a snorkeler showed up in an online advertisement that read, “Chilling Unedited Nature Photos Ever Captured.”

Claim – A picture shows a snorkeler right next to a very large snake, known as an anaconda.

Is the snake and snorkeler photo in online advertisement is real?

It is true that this photograph of a snorkeler and a very large snake, an anaconda, is real. We discover that it was being used in YouTube video thumbnails and also appeared in online advertisements in May 2022 with the caption, “Chilling Unedited Nature Photos Ever Captured.” A variation of the ad read, “Jarring Photos That Will Show You Another Side Of Nature.” However, after clicking the ad we were led to a 60-page slideshow article that did not even mention the picture.

Who took the photograph of the snake and snorkeler? Does the picture show a movie being filmed? Is it a fake snake? We tried to find out.

And after digging through rounds of unhelpful websites and other misleading clickbait, the TinEye.com reverse image search website led us to conclude that the snorkeler is named Franco Banfi.

The picture, which was credited to Shaowen Lyn, was posted to Banfi’s Facebook page in 2015 and had been captured several years before that. It showed a Green Anaconda  in Brazil:

In the comments, the snorkeler Banfi, the person answering as the page reassured users that while the green anaconda was quite big, it wasn’t believed to be a danger since it had recently fed. “The green anaconda eats only three to four times per year and it is mostly a shy creature,” the page replied. “It does not attack humans on purpose.”

We found two other pictures of the green anaconda on Banfi’s Facebook page.

The first one showed a photograph being taken:

The second one showed a close-up view of a green anaconda‘s head

Additional information was found in an old article from The Sun that was dated back Nov. 10, 2012. The same picture from the ad was captioned as follows:

A DIVER risks his life to get close to a 26ft anaconda as it emerges from a river.

Franco Banfi, 53, looking for snakes in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, was pretty sure it was safe as it had just eaten.

He just hoped it didn’t fancy any afters…

In addition, we located additional pictures of the green anaconda on Banfi’s website, WildlifePhotoTours.ch. They appear at the very bottom of the gallery page as part of the VIP tour offerings.

In conclusion, true, the picture of the snorkeler and the large snake, which turned out to be a green anaconda in Brazil, was genuine.

Pink, fuzzy bananas are real. Pink, fuzzy bananas that contain hard seeds are mostly grown for decoration but when eaten are sweet and soft. Even the U.S. Department of Agricultural recognizes one of their nicknames: hairy bananas.

The Twitter account Unbelievable Facts highlighted the existence of this fruit, posting the below-displayed image and text that promoted not only the bananas’ colour and texture, but also its purpose.

Next, there’s another post’s assertions about the banana’s appearance: that it’s pink, fuzzy, and peels on its own.

These are true, according to an arm of the Department of Horticultural Science at North Carolina State University.

Nicknamed the “hairy banana” or “pink velvet banana,” the fruit (scientific name: Musa velutina) belongs to the banana family of plants, Musaceae and produces fruits that are about three inches long, pink, and fuzzy. “They peel back when ripe,” according to the plant’s profile in a database operated by the university.

It is also true that the plants are mostly grown for decoration, rather than for eating, according to the profile, which indeed described them as “ornamental” and “showy.”

However, if someone did try to eat the bananas, they would indeed taste a soft, sweet fruit with hard seeds, as the post claimed. “Fruits have soft, sweet flesh that can be eaten but the numerous seeds are very hard,” the profile said.

Likewise, “blue java bananas” — which have an outer blue skin and taste like vanilla ice cream — belong to the same family of plants.
