00:00When a fly lands on your food, most people think it just starts eating it.
00:04But flies actually can't chew like humans.
00:08So instead, they sort of puke up a special type of saliva right onto your meal.
00:14This saliva contains digestive enzymes that break down your food into a slurpable liquid.
00:20The fly then uses its proboscis to suck it up like a smoothie, which is how they consume your food.
