British Headmaster learns that you can’t grow pickles 🥒😂

What did you think?

The snack bag starts it. Looking at pickle-flavoured cucumber crisps, JOLLY's headmaster wonders why the makers didn't simply use pickles. The explanation turns into a small unravelling of everything he thought he knew about gherkins.

"A pickle is a cucumber," the host tells him.

"Is it?" comes the reply, followed almost immediately by: "No, it isn't."

Even the clarification that it is a pickled cucumber meets resistance. The headmaster is quite sure a gherkin isn't a cucumber either. Only when the host explains the vinegar does the missing piece fall into place. He rubs his face and asks: "What else don't I know?"

The discovery featured in JOLLY's Costco tasting, as we reported here. Now the exchange has a Short of its own, drawing roughly 1.2 million views in its first day, far beyond the channel's usual start for that format.

The comments were fifteen times busier than a usual first day, too. Viewers keep returning to that final question about what else he might not know; others point to the way he checks the surrounding faces, apparently trying to work out whether someone is pulling his leg. There are also requests for a whole series of the headmaster discovering things. On a channel built around food introductions, this one starts before anyone needs to take a bite.
