Green Eggs and Ham – Lifehack

The mystery of Dr. Seuss’s green eggs and ham has now been debunked. The eggs weren’t rotten or coloured with food colouring; they just contained red cabbage juice.

Egg whites have a pH of around 9-10 and therefore change the color of the cabbage juice to green. Check out the video below of this being done.
