I Was ‘Today Years Old’ When…

California is bigger than Canada, what?

Image Source/ TwitterYep, you read that exactly right. Jay Walker was spitting facts when he said that the population of California is bigger than the population of Canada, California with 39.35 million while Canada only has 38 million, with Canada having much more land space than the US state.

The cowboys created this one...

Image Source/ TwitterIt's hard to tell whether this is actually right or not, because it would make a lot of sense. However, some claim that the saying dates back to horse-drawn carriages, when they would be asked to hold the ropes of horses to direct them down the right path.

TV humour #101

Image Source/ TwitterI bet there's some top TV producers who knew what this meant all along. When I read this tweet the penny dropped... of course that's what it means. Either that, or every first episode of every series ever spookily has the same name... perhaps a bit of a stretch.

This one sent me looney

Image Source/ TwitterThis always used to confuse me when I was a kid, but it makes a whole lot of sense now. Turns out, according to Master Bates (strange name to say the least) that Marvin the Martian was only the referee because he was an alien AND a Looney Toon, childhood made.

I prefer lea better...

Image Source/ InstagramThis CANNOT be true, surely? Well, a quick Google search actually reveals it is indeed a false allegation, but seems real enough to me. Apparently it comes from the Latin 'zand', unstable land by rivers. I prefer this origin story better to be honest...

Chicken lovers forever <3

Image Source/ TwitterHear me out: novel idea. Two strangers fall madly in love after they each both buy halves of the same chicken. Maybe they meet in the toilets after terrible food poisoning or something, how else are they going to know it was the same bird? Not very romantic though.

Maths makes so much more sense after this...

Image Source/ TwitterNo but for real, how did we not see this before? It was staring at us right in the face and none of us saw the resemblance. Guaranteed Albert Einstein is turning in his grave right now at our ignorance. Maybe I should've paid more attention in school.

Be there or be... triangle?

Image Source/ TwitterIt hardly seems fair to me that the square was the better choice for this one. Triangle should have one, definitely. Albeit, it doesn't really roll of the tongue as well. Be early or be curly? Be along or be oblong? Okay, I promise I'll stop now.

Someone show this one to Tiffany Pollard

Image Source/ TwitterSurely we've all seen that clip of the iconic Tiffany Pollard hitting the roof after she gets told to break a leg before her audition. You see, we're not the only ones who didn't get it. But suddenly, life all makes sense now. I can sleep easy tonight.

Legs for daysss

Image Source/ TwitterGet this owl on America's Next Top Model because those legs are something to behold. Honestly, I think I would've rested easier not knowing owls had legs more than half the size of their entire bodies. There will be an owl rebellion one day, just you watch.

Wait, NY Giants are owned by who?

Image Source/ TwitterThe Kate Mara from House of Cards actually owns the New York Giants, how had I ever known this? Apparently, her grandpa Wellington Mara acquired them jointly in 1959 and was succeeded by his son John Mara in 2005, who know has the team in his pocket.

Ida-Gon potatoes

Image Source/ TwitterOre-Ida Potatoes definitely broke the internet when they publicly confessed the origin of their brand name. I mean, it was very obvious. By why Ore-Ida and not Ida-Gon, much better in my opinion. Oh well, their potatoes are still tasty to say the least .

Brie Larson secret cameo

Image Source/ TwitterYou have to start somewhere, and boy did Brie Larson bag a great gig. But, how did none of us ever notice her when we used to watch this on repeat at sleepovers when we were younger? To be fair, she barely looks recognisable with that god-awful hairdo.

You mean, it's not the sound that cars make?

Image Source/ TwitterI have grossly misunderstood many tweets in the past... I've been reading this as the neeeeuuuuummmm sound that cars make when they drive by super fast. That, or the sound of someone when they've been winded pretty badly. Best go back to decipher these tweets now.

I will never eat breakfast the same

Image Source/ TwitterBreak. Fast. What else could breakfast mean? Not sure, but thanks to tweeter Norm we finally have the answer to the question we've been asking for years and it turns it out it's actually relatively simple. But what about when I head down for a midnight snack, hm?

This one hit me...

Image Source/ TwitterIf your Mom is anything like mine, you've got an outdated photo album stuffed in the back of an overcluttered cupboard with dust mites, coffee stains, ripped photos and the likes. When kids grow up these days, all they'll have to do is scroll. That's not right.

Top brand design team at Staples

Image Source/ TwitterIs it great design if nobody recognises that it's a staple, or not? I'm very impressed though. Otherwise, it just kinda looks like someone went on to long on the L when they were designing the logo, and before they noticed the final design was locked in.

I'm not having this one

Image Source/ TwitterOkay Gabriella, you might've tweeted this back in 2018, but it's no excuse. First of all, there's no way that you didn't know this. Second of all, what sorta things you been favouriting to be embarrassed about ay? Thanks for the Twitter handle, stalk pending.

Ground-breaking revelation from Brooke here

Image Source/ TwitterThanks for this one Brooke, you either forgot to tag some sort of photo to your tweet when you sent this out onto the Internet, or this is some kind of inside joke you won't let anybody in on. Regardless of whatever the reason, this is a piece of life-changing news.

You mean, Spongebob was a spongebaby?

Image Source/ TwitterYou can't be telling me that these two absolute cookie legends are actually wrinkly, old sponges lost at sea? Well, it makes a lot of sense and is only logical. But what's logical about Spongebob Squarepants, the cannibal Krusty Krab or squirrel under the sea?

Chinese stock image website

Image Source/ TwitterSo you're telling me there's some Chinese takeaway stock image website that none of us knew about, and there isn't some guy in the back of the restaurant taking mega pics of his dishes? I am heartbroken to say the least, also feel a little bit betrayed.

You mean it's not Chuck Esteban Cheese?

Image Source/ TwitterNot going to lie, I had absolutely no idea what the E stood for in Chuck E Cheese and just kinda accepted that it was just like Chucky rather than Chuck E Cheese. I guess it's a little bit less of a mouthful than Chuck Entertainment Cheese, isn't it?

Lin-Manuel Miranda would approve

Image Source/ TwitterYou mean to say that the only reason Hamilton Lottery is $10 is because Hamilton is on the $10 bill? I'm not having it. Also, it doesn't really translate to the £10 Hamilton London Lottery jackpot gamble does it? Hm, sceptical about this one, definitely.

Are strippers con-artists?

Image Source/ TwitterYounger and naïve me used to watch these pole dancers on America's Got Talent blown away by their ability to swing round on that pole like they were something in 10 inches of margarine. But actually, it's just the pole that spins? Now that is a betrayal.

I've wasted so many!!

Image Source/ TwitterI can't believe these things were actually able to close? I always tried to down them confidently in one, or would forget about them after a couple of sips until they were chucked in the trash. Should definitely come with some instructions I think.

10/10 revelation

Image Source/ TwitterGet out of here. I always thought it was some kind of archaic saying to be fair, or maybe that you're lucky to have them like you're lucky to find a dime. But saying they're a 10/10, that's some pretty good compliments I've had in the past, that's for sure.

Pirate puns are the best

Image Source/ TwitterThat's some great marketing going on there, kudos to Chips Ahoy, or Chipmates, or whatever. I can't believe that I never saw this before, then again, the packets of cookies don't usually last too long in my house. Great marketing team though, 10/10.

Harvest mice are the cutest

Image Source/ TwitterSo why don't we learn this kind of thing in school? Turns out that mice are cuter than I ever knew, and like to crawl into the spaces of lowers while looking for pollen to munch on and end up falling into a food coma while they're there as well. Adorable.

Great PR from the KFC team there

Image Source/ TwitterKFC were obviously finding this absolutely hilarious while the whole of the internet was blissfully unaware of their funny joke, but this guy ended up winning the top prize when he got this pic painted of him. I want one, do you think they'll send me one?

Donkeys carrying lambs, I've seen it all

Image Source/ TwitterYou've heard of sheep dogs, but how about Italian donkey nannies? Italians hire donkey nannies to do all the hard work for them and are used to transport lots of little lambs up and down the mountains depending on the season. I hope they're paid well!
