In a related topic, back in the 80s one of my BIL's stoner friends decided he was going to make a Thanksgiving dinner for the first time in his single adult life at the age of 21, living in an apartment.
He called my BIL asking him what the secret for mashing the potatoes were...he'd ruined his grandmother's old potato masher, all bent up!
"Did you cook the potatoes first?"
"Ooooooooh...you have to COOK them first?"
"Yep. Dummy".
