I recently learned grenadine is called that because it used to be made from pomegranate juice, NOT because it was from Grenada.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
