Netflix</figcaption></figure></div>It&#x27;s a tropical fruit common to Southeast Asia. But apparently, at least in the world of the Netflix science fiction series &quot;Another Life,&quot; it&#x27;s also found in a &quot;mysterious&quot; moon.Of course, what the show&#x27;s scientific crew found in its outer space expedition wasn&#x27;t necessarily a rambutan in its universe, but the prop used for it was indeed the fruit many will be familiar with. In episode 5 of &quot;Another Life,&quot; a pair of its characters came across an &quot;alien-looking&quot; fruit and decided to put it through a test to determine whether it was indeed edible or not. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">A netflix series about space exploration landed on a moon and found an extraterrestrial fruit. And guess what it&#x27;s rambutan 😂😂😂 <a href="https://t.co/tmSfBU8BE8">pic.twitter.com/tmSfBU8BE8</a>— Kopi Panas (@hash_1993) <a href="https://twitter.com/hash_1993/status/1154764145809612801?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 26, 2019</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script>After determining that it was and taking a small bite out of it, they came to the conclusion that it was &quot;disgusting,&quot; and was obviously not as sweet as the rambutan. The synopsis of &quot;Another Life&quot; reads: &quot;After a massive alien artifact lands on Earth, Niko Breckinridge leads an interstellar mission to track down its source and make first contact.&quot; It stars Hollywood actress Katee Sackoff, probably better known as Starbuck of &quot;Battlestar Galactica.&quot; It debuted last July 25.
