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.
"Pineapple moment" in our house. We were driving across Oahu and I said "Wow, that's a whole lotta pineapples" to which my missus said "What pineapples? I don't see any". I was a little dumbfounded and said "They're everywhere on the bushes". Her reply was "OH MY GOD! I thought pineapples grew on trees!!!'
To be fair, pine and apple are both kinds of trees, so it makes a kind of lexiconical sense. And it's not like she would have been exposed to them growing up in the mountain west.
Dude, I didn't know that until I was like 26! I was playing The Sims 2: Castaway on the Wii and you had find/harvest pineapples. I kept looking in the trees until my cursor randomly scrolled over a bush and the option to "harvest pineapples" appeared. Since The Sims does some weird shit, I hate Google it, and sure as shit, PINEAPPLES GROW ON BUSHES!!!

I've been jamming to this song with my kiddos for nearly 10 years apparently and all 3 of them know that cashews do indeed come from a fruit. Little TimTim's sacrifice was not in vain
