So, I guess 'May the Fifth be with you'....nah, never mind.
Well, I suppose if it were a fifth of tequila...nah, that would probably kill you.
Anyway, Happy Fifth of May!
The history-

Some food-
Some drink-
Guess tequila could change the perspective of the song ‘nobody likes me, everybody hates me, guess I'll go eat worms.'
or not-
‘It is a common misconception that some tequilas contain a 'worm' in the bottle. Only certain mezcals, usually from the state of Oaxaca, are ever sold con gusano (with worm), and that only began as a marketing gimmick in the 1940s. The worm is actually the larval form of the moth Hypopta agavis, which lives on the agave plant. Finding one in the plant during processing indicates an infestation and, correspondingly, a lower-quality product. However, this misconception continues, despite effort and marketing to represent tequila as a premium liquor – similar to the way Cognac is viewed in relation to other brandies.’

It can also change the perspective on engagement rings.

‘In 2008, Mexican scientists discovered a method to produce tiny, nanometer-sized synthetic diamonds from 80-proof (40% alcohol) tequila, which has the optimal range of water to ethanol for producing synthetic diamonds. This process involves heating the tequila to over 800 ̊C (1,400 ̊F) to break its molecular structure and be vaporized into gaseous hydrogen, carbon, and various simple molecules. The carbon molecules are then settled upon steel or silicon trays to form a thin and pure uniform layer. Extremely cheap to produce and far too small for jewels, the results are hoped to have numerous commercial and industrial applications such as in computer chips or cutting instruments.’

Anyhow, what girl would settle for a nonometer-sized synthetic diamond. A jewelers loupe just wouldn't work, it would have to come with an electron microscope of some sort. Cheaper to go with the traditional diamond.
And how small is a nanometer you might ask? Or maybe not?
To answer your question, that is if you asked, and even if you hadn't, here is this, anyway-
maybe this explains it better-
Wow, from Happy Cinco de Mayo to nanotechnology.
Just goes to show how one thing leads to the next and so on and so fifth of May!
Have a good one! *abrazo* :)
