What did you learn at an embarrassingly late age?

This question is inspired by me being reminded that I was in my mid 20s before I learned that the fastest train home from London wasn't the one that said Watford on the front. I live in Watford and never really thought about why the train in to London took about 20 minutes, whilst the train out took over an hour. Turns out I always got the slow train back to Watford where Watford was the final destination after about 20 other stops, whilst I got the fast train in where Watford was often the final stop before Euston.

Edit - I have read every single reply to this and here are the most common things that people have posted about not knowing when they were younger:

Raisins are dried grapes.

Reindeer are real.

Ponies are a type of small horse, not a different species.
