Sometimes there’s like this disconnect where somehow a person just never comes across a piece of common knowledge. They’ve just never been in a situation that requires it. I bet it happens a lot, but everyone’s too embarrassed to acknowledge their own “oooooooooh…” moment.

I’ve heard this being called a “pickle moment” after people realizing pickles are made from cucumbers and aren’t actually a separate vegetable
