Re: Things that took you way too long to realize....
lol, a thing I heard about...You people(USA) call them Freeze Pops?
lol, I wonder just how many basic things are called different things in USA vs other countries.
At least popsicles are the same in USA/Canada, even though they're technically 'ice pops', something I never knew before either.
I know some brands are more known than the product itself(jacuzzi,q-tip,kleenex ect.), but never knew that about popsicles.Comment

Re: Things that took you way too long to realize....
Weird how many diff names some things have, even within same country.
Even for freezie/freeze pop or whatever you call it, apparently a part of Canada calls them 'Mr. Freeze', which is a brand of them, but people just call it the brand instead.
As for coke/Pepsi, here they just call it pop. Only time I see soft drink is on menus at restaurants. Soda/soda pop I only see in USA.
One I hate is people who call everything apple products. Your smartphone is an iPhone, your tablet is an iPad and so on. Even if the brand isn't apple.Comment

Re: Things that took you way too long to realize....
You're not supposed to use q-tips in your ears. My mom recently got an ear infection and the doctor told her it was caused by not having any wax in her ears. He told her she did it to herself and to stop using q-tips lol.
I never knew that.. I use q-tips in my ears every single day... I googled it too and he's definitely right. Ears are apparently self cleansing. You can also end up pushing wax too far into your canal with a q-tip which could cause "ear impaction."

Well Bob Kane's original creation was about 24 years before JFK got shot, with Oswald Cobblepot first appearing 22 years before JFK.Boston Red Sox

Re: Things that took you way too long to realize....
but you said it was something that took you too long to realize, usually I assume we recognize intent for stuff going over our head, not coincidence
unless you're saying the coincidence is well known to most and it just occurred to you
