Life comes at you fast, and it's not always easy to soak up everything that's coming at you. You have to filter through things or you'll get overloaded. But hey, there's always time to come back to examine the things you might have missed later.
That's what these folks did, stumbling across things they probably should have known for a long time — instead, they felt like they were today years old when some info dropped into their laps a whole new world opened up to them.
Which would have made sense. No, it's strawberry — but since raspberry got red, I guess they didn't want people to confuse the two flavors.
Like, not history, not geography, not even English class covered the fact that the flags of three countries in the U.K. are combined in the U.K.'s flag.
Sure, that makes it a lowercase letter, but so what? They put the hole there for a reason — that placement is not a coincidence.
They just didn't think to actually tell you that the cap fits perfectly on the bottom of the bottle.
At least, I know mine did. So, so much easier to get at all the little things that fall through the cracks knowing that the lid of the stove lifts up.
Because holy smokes this would have helped my understand division back in the day.
But yes, that's brilliant — I would never have thought to hook shopping bag handles there.
Not sure where else I expected loofah sponges to come from, but it wasn't that.
Life will never be the same again for this lady.
You don't have to just let the cap dangle on the dummy string — there's a spot for it, like the Gatorade cap.
Apparently it's not that common a feature, but it sure sets this brand, Gutermann, apart.
I mean, I can't think of a better reason to name a TV show's first episode a pilot.
This is basically a life hack if nothing else.
Let the tags be your guide, friends.
You can hold down the tab browser on your iPhone to close all the tabs at once rather than spending five minutes swiping them all away.
The little black dot is a microphone for when you're taking video and not using the front camera.
Their knees will stick down, too. Maybe not the most useful tip, but still unexpected.
Would I use this myself in the future? Probably not. Am I still fascinated? You bet.
And so, so relateable. Kids are just like that, aren't they?
Did you know there was an 8 hidden in the diamonds on the 8 of diamonds? Now you have NO excuse for not knowing what's in your hand the next time you play poker.
I was definitely today years old when I realized some Chinese restaurants use the same photos for their menus. It's genius — it's not like they're usually right next to each other, so how would most people notice?
This one might not be technically, totally, linguistically true, but it definitely makes a lot of sense, and thinking about it makes me feel like my brain is expanding.
This one is definitely true, and it's right there in the word itself if you just think about it for a minute. How did the English language get this one by us?
Not only do Beluga whales have knees, but this is where a lot of mermaid sightings come from. I think it's time we reboot The Shape of Water, but put a Beluga in there instead.
Canada might be geographically one of the biggest countries on Earth, but their population is dwarfed by the population of big US cities.
Move over, Hannah Montana. Marvin the Martian is the new kid on the block with a rhyming name and a foot in the door in both worlds.
It's not just a random, fancy, squiggly L for no reason — it's an actual staple that's been bent open! I've bent open enough staples when I'm bored that I really should've recognized this one.
Just call me Charles Entertainment. I was today years old when I realized that it was Chuck E. Cheese, not Chucky Cheese.
Leave me alone! I haven't been to one since I learned to read!
The birds we call budgies are actually called budgerigars. We just call them budgie because it's much cuter, shorter, and because I'm not even really 100% sure how to pronounce any part of budgerigar.
This one should've been really obvious. Of course SpongeBob's parents are also sponges.
In our defense, Pearl is a whale and her dad is a crab. So stranger things have definitely happened in Bikini Bottom.
I didn't even know Woody HAD a last name, let alone that it was Pride. This gives a whole new bonus meaning to celebrating Pride Month!
This makes total sense when you think about it. I know some drivers who think the length of the yellow is based on how hard they hit the gas pedal trying to make it through.
W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet, and S is the 19th. 23-19 is W-S, which stands of White Sock. I wish all codes were this easy to crack.
Hollywood starlets and actresses Rooney and Kate Mara's family owns two different NFL teams. That's a family legacy you can really be proud of.
This is a little worrying when you think about the fact that Mr. Krabs IS a crab. It also makes me wonder what's really in a krabby patty, and why Mr. Krabs is so intent on keeping it a secret...
This little nursery rhyme about our toes just got a lot sadder. I think I'll pass on having the pork chops tonight.
It's like learning to decipher the secret laundry codes on clothing labels, right?
When we were kids, we never thought about all the fun puns in brand names, and they all hit us at once when we grow up.
This reminds me of the fact that one of the severed heads in the background of an episode of Game of Thrones was actually an old discarded model of George W. Bush's head. The moral of the story is if you're a Hollywood figure with a mask made of you, watch out.
