11 Embarrassing Things People Didn’t Know Until Later in Life

‘This Little Piggy’ by Mother Goose is not about pigs going shopping

Probably there are a lot of people who thought that the famous nursery rhyme ‘This Little Piggy’ by Mother Goose is about a group of pigs that go to the supermarket to buy groceries. Well, in reality, the song has a different meaning, though. 

According to Reddit user mutedsilver, “The first little piggy guess to market to be sold as meat; the second piggy stays home as breeding stock; the third piggy eats roast beef and other leftovers from the table to fatten him up; the fourth piggy has none, as you usually don’t feed shortly before slaughter; the fifth one didn’t sell, so it makes pig sounds (or cheers ‘Oui!’) all the way home.”
