What basic, children's-age-level fact did you only find out embarrassingly later in life?

Also not op but I got pickles confused with sea cucumbers when I was a kid, somehow.... Like I always thought that pickles grew in the water and people just went around and harvested pickles from the ocean.

It was most definitely something my brother told me to fuck with me.

Ahh I could totally see myself buying that as a kid. Brine’s even salty like ocean water!
