What did you learn at an embarassingly late age?
I just saw this on that "I have read it" site: "I didn't realize you were supposed to chew sunflower seeds to get the seed inside... I thought you just ate the black seeds whole..."

And I am agog. Is that what you're supposed to do? Or do we get them de-shelled over here?

Care to admit to anything you didn't know until far later than you should have?
