Some food names are less than forthcoming about what they really are. (We’re looking at you, Grape-Nuts.) From decaf coffee to ginger ale and chocolatey chips, what you see isn’t always what you get with these foods and drinks. FULL STORY

⭕✔ Liked!😁

We've been misled a bit longer right here ➡🐖 🍔 👀 🐖 💤😂 They missed that biggest misnomer from Hamburg(er), Germany.😋

The Post cereal 🍇"Grape-Nuts"🌰 struck me funny into big laughter as a kid.😂🍿

Wikipedia English sez,

"A misnomer is a name that is incorrectly or unsuitably applied.[1] Misnomers often arise because something was named long before its correct nature was known, or because an earlier form of something has been replaced by a later form to which the name no longer suitably applies. A misnomer may also be simply a word that someone uses incorrectly or misleadingly.[2] The word "misnomer" does not mean "misunderstanding" or "popular misconception",[2] and a number of misnomers remain in common usage — which is to say that a word being a misnomer does not necessarily make usage of the word incorrect."🤔
