Things you just learned that everyone else already knew

[King Ghidorah]

FAN, some of us are slow, some slower than others, what are some things you've just now figured out that everyone else already knew. No time limitations

-Up until I was about 14 I actually thought that the world was black and white before color TV, I dnot know why.

- I thought the queen of England actually ran shit, I had no idea they had a functioning government, I'm very disappointed actually

I thought cartoon characters were played by actors who actually resembled the characters. That includes animal characters like Ren and Stimpy.

[A Platypus Rave]

That his name is Alberto Del Rio...

Seriously though from wrestling when I was younger I was terrible at realizing people in new gimmicks even if it was pretty obvious. IRS and Repo Man immediately spring to mind.

I thought that 800 numbers for infomercials changed after the 30 min time period. If you didn't call before the switch you actually had to wait for the next time the commercial was on to order it.

Jimmy Fallon isn't just a bloke on that one episode of Family Guy - he's a REAL PERSON.

I actually was mostly sure Repo Man was Smash of Demolition, but...the change in hair just vexed me.

From full, long and stringy hair to short, flat and slightly balding............I knew the voices were the same but really wasn't sure because their hairstyles seemed TOO different to me. Apparently Smash hid the early signs of male pattern baldness rather well.

For that matter, so was Conway Twitty.

I just learned how to poach an egg a few weeks ago.

[Push R Truth]

I was like 16 before I learned that Cocaine actually wasn't just powdered Coca Cola Mix.

This summer I learned about the Warp Whistles in Super Mario Brothers 3.

Women do not pee out of their vaginas.

[The Sam]

I learned that "The Flintstones" are not called the "The Flinstones".

Finally saw the South Park: 6 Days to Air documentary last night....

So apparently everyone else knew that Bill Hader has been part of SOUTH PARK's creative team since 2009, and that Trey & Matt were on LSD when they went to the Oscars in 2000.

[DSR]

At one point, I thought Matt Frewer was just a Jim Carrey character.

When I was a kid, I thought films were made in the time period in which they were set.

I thought Wrestling was real..till the "wrestling's secrets revealed" show came on in 1996 I think. I was bitter for a long time about that. Then I watched WCW and oddly it helped.

[Zaq "That Guy" Buzzkill]

For several years I thought Dana White was a women.

Why does the OP have a picture of a box of aluminum foil?

[DragonMasterP]

That one line in Real American is "If you hurt my friends, then you hurt my pride", not "If you hurt my friends, then you hurt my bride".

I'm guessing they didn't know that you push those things on the side to hold the foil in place.
