Learnt at age 25 that cucumbers and pickles are the same vegetables. To be fair, I was dropped as a child
This was something my partner discovered rather than me but I found it funny.
Up until the age of 23 my partner thought reindeer weren’t real. She found out they were when there was one at a Christmas market near our hometown. She pointed out to me how the animatronics looked incredible 😂
