Let’s talk about the kitchen sink. You think it’s clean, but there’s a thin biofilm of organic sludge living in your drain. Fruit flies love it. They’re not drain flies (those are fuzzier), but they’ll happily snack on the gunk.
Pouring boiling water down the drain once a week disrupts their party. It’s like flipping the breaker on their favorite hot tub. Cultural reference: If your sink is a New York subway station at rush hour, the drain is the last train home.
The Wine Glass Conspiracy
You’ve had a long day. You pour a glass of wine. You leave it unattended for five minutes. When you return, two fruit flies are doing the backstroke in your Pinot Noir. This is not a coincidence.
Fruit flies are obsessed with alcohol because it mimics the fermentation they crave. They dive into your glass, get drunk, and drown—a noble, tragic end. Tip: Always cover your drinks, or accept that you’re running a tiny fly bar.
