It always amazed me how many students (young and old) didn't know the
origin or process of creating things like bread, cheese, pickles,
butter, etc.

When our son was about 3 years old we planted a lot of fruit trees in
the yard. We asked if there was any type of fruit he'd like us to grow.
With a very serious look on his face, he asked "Do potato chips grow on
trees?"
