Some people are honest about the common knowledge that somehow evaded them until quite late in life. At least, that was what happened to Karly Cornin—who goes by @goodluckkarly on Instagram—when she shared that she did not know a fruit could be taken off a tree and eaten or used for cooking directly. Her simple belief has sparked a debate online. She began the video by saying, "I can't be the only person on the planet who didn't know that you can just pick a piece of fruit off a tree and eat it."

She narrated that her friend had come over a few weeks ago and asked Cornin why she had a bag of lemons in her fridge. She responded, "Oh, I use lemons in my cooking a lot and sometimes put them in my sparkling water." Her friend again questioned why she had a bag of lemons from the store. Cornin didn't understand why her friend was repeatedly asking this question. The woman interrupted and told her, "No! You have a lemon tree outside. So why do you buy lemons?"

Cronin again went back to responding with the same answer. "I said, 'Because I cook with them and...," Cornin recalled. Her friend, this time, emphasized that she had a lemon tree outside her house. "You just pick the lemons off the tree and put them in your food or your sparkling water," she told Cornin. The 28-year-old was startled and asked, "I said, 'Don't you have to do something to them?'" The woman didn't understand her question and replied, "What do you mean?"

Cornin asked again if she didn't have to do anything to the lemons after plucking them from the tree. Her friend was pretty upset after hearing this question. Cornin shared on camera, "I guess I am one of the very few people. I didn't think I was one of the only people [who didn't know] that there is nothing you have to do with a lemon before you eat it from a tree. You can just take it off the tree." The video was captioned, "I already know putting this on the internet is going to be a mistake."

People's comments on Cornin's realization were hilarious. @maximbadytouray commented, "Hi, lady, I sell vegan water. $69 a bottle. The water in your house is not good to drink." @mia_sre wrote, "Imagine not knowing that unprocessed food exists. The crazy dystopian world we live in." @informaticofreak expressed, "The problem here is not that she didn't know. The problem is that she assumed and it never occurred to her to look for information. That is what worries me."

@cootiepies11 shared, "I appreciate the honesty and humility. No question is a stupid question. Glad your friend helped you with this. Now you can save a few bucks on lemons." @shawndriscoll71 joked, "You can't just take them off the tree and use them. You have to pulverize them first." @thoughtspresso commented, "Life gave her lemons and she didn't know what to do with them before she could put them in her sparkling water."
