Like none of the nuts you know are true nuts either.

Found it funny that you then mentioned peanuts which grow in the ground contrary to all other things people think about when talking about nuts.

And yeah, I know I'll just have blown some people's mind with that info.

Huh... peanuts coming from underground is such an obvious memory for me I don't recall where I learned it. It feels like something everyone just knows, like carrots, potatoes, and yams. It didn't occur to me outside of today's lucky 10000 that a lot wouldn't know.

I wonder if its really aot of people or just some.

Peanuts growing underground is also really weird. Very few plants hide their fruit like that.

Fun fact: in German, peanuts are called "Erdnuss", which literally translates to "soil nut", which seems actually fit like a glove. To be honest, I never thought about the name it has. Learn something new every day.

I think it's a lot of people because people think they're nuts because of the name and they never have earth left on them unlike potatoes or carrots...
