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...
