Why are bland in English and blando in Spanish false friends?

I would appreciate some examples.

I don't know why but I see "cognates" or "false friends" everywhere while in books they always mention the same.

La comida era blanda e insulsa.

The food was mushy and bland.

Aquí uso "mushy" para significar "blanda", y "insulsa" para significar "bland".
