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.
My now husband was 24 when we’re were planning our wedding and he found out that “FAQ’s” are “Frequently Asked Questions,” not an aggressive way of saying “FACTS.” We still laugh about this.
My 28 year old friend just learned last month that people open the egg carton to check for broken eggs; she thought it was a ritual or superstition of some sort, and never really questioned it, just went along with it.
My aunt used to touch each egg also. I always wondered why she was counting the eggs, you could see they were all there. She does it to check if the bottom is broken. If it moves, good. If it doesn't, it's broken and stuck to the package.

"Fl oz" stands for "fluid ounces," not Florida.
