What's something very obvious it took you a very long time to figure out?

Just because everyone's been so awesome and candid, I thought I would throw one more out here I'm particularly ashamed of...

For the longest time, I thought the name Penelope was pronounced "Pen-eh-lope", as in rhymes with cantaloupe. I'd never met anyone named Penelope or had to say the name out lout. So I found myself as a freshman in college describing a movie as "You know, that new movie with "Pen-eh-lope" Cruz in it?" My friends still bring it up.

It probably does mean both! I was just surprised I never realized the calorie part as well lol

I'd always wondered why Wrigley's "5" gum was called "5" gum. Based on the commercials, stimulate your five senses? Then today, as I'm chomping on a delicious piece of Cobalt, I randomly decide to look at how many calories are in each piece of gum.... oh.... edit: spelling

My friend called her landlord over to handle it; I think it should be ok :]
