Do you Know Where Brussel Sprouts Come From?

Famously, a few years ago a number of Dopers admitted they thought pineapples came from trees. Funny how some little bits of knowledge passes us by.

This bears repeating. In a thread that dealt mostly with What Type of Factory Makes Milk?

. . . I thought pineapples grew on pine trees.

@tdn

No, that’s where we get Pine-sol.

When the mommy pine tree and the daddy apple tree are very drunk…

(Just noticed the above-quoted items today.)

Also, cinnamon comes from pine trees! I just discovered that a few years ago. Around December (I guess that’s when pine cones are in season), all the supermarkets around here sell cinnamon pine cones. Maybe they’ve always had them, but I just recently noticed. Who knew that cinnamon comes from pine cones?

(And I think, if you cross a cow with a chicken and feed the babies cinnamon pine cones, they will produce egg-nog.)
