Far from the instrument we know today, bagpipes were originally used to scare off enemies on the battlefield.

Interestingly, bagpipes are the only known musical instrument in history to have been used as a weapon of war.

“Bear Grills” are tasty snacks. They are normally made from Grizzly Bears, but in Australia Koala flavour is popular. The variety made from Polar Bears is more fatty, but freezes well.

As noted earlier in the thread, Koalas aren't bears but are in fact a sort of fruit. Therefore the Australian snack mentioned above also forms part of your five a day.
