Is your music tasting stale? Meet the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra, which serves tasty tunes prepared using vegetables as instruments. Here, pumpkins are the bass drums, carrots are xylophones, and onion skins are rubbed together to make maraca-like rattling sounds.
If you don’t believe this can work during love performances, just watch the video above.
