Some of the food items are based off of real life plants and animals. What food items taught you about a plant or an animal you didn't think was real at first? I had no idea that the Living Stones were an actual plant until I learned about them.

Living Stones
Plant
Nature has produced a plant that looks exactly like a rock. Unfortunately it also looks a little bit like a butt.

For me, every day is World Kindness Day.
Living stones are very cool and specifically known as lithops. :D They're a type of succulent!
I had no idea these were a real flower until literally right now.

Carnival Tulips are a real flower? I guess you learn something new every day.

A crisp, bright flavor, perfect for cleansing the palate.

Transmuted Treasure

Those who say all that treasure will never keep you company are probably feelin' pretty silly right about now. It's you and your money, goin' it alone!

I was today years old when I found out these are real, and also HUGE (up to 26 feet, so not nearly as big as Sornieth's version, but still the longest bony fish on Earth!)
These oddball fish can grow to be eighty feet long and are hardly ever seen unless they die and float to the surface. Water dragons consider it a feast if one can be caught alive.

You can't just show a pic of a nightjar without also showing what they look like with the beak open smh /lh

(Unlike most birds whose beaks are wholly uncovered, nightjar feathers grow alongside most of the length of the beak, leading it to look much smaller than it actually is when it's closed)

Soylent green is not real! But the movie is a real object that inspired the item so I think it counts! And I learned about the movie’s existence from the FR database of all places. And wow it looks like a great dystopian sci fi that I should really commit to watching one day!
Totally not made out of anything weird. Especially that thing you may be thinking about. Life is perfect.
