What's the dumbest thing you thought as an adult that you recently learned was wrong?

I just realized while cooking that a measuring-cup cup (as measured out as 250mL in a glass measuring cup) is the same amount(s) as one of the actual plastic baking measuring cups that go inside each other like Russian dolls lol

I thought they were different somehow (something something imperial metric yadda yadda yaddda)

Your turn to come clean Lemmings!

**EDIT: to clarify, I mean volumetrically for measuring liquids

You get used to seeing something your whole life and it becomes background noise, but it wouldn't have been like that for the mom's whole life, she'd be more likely to notice that she can see him that way.

This trick also works on pets. My cat finally caught on though. And she's only 2.
