If plants had their names on their leaves I’d recognize a bunch of them as well.
To be fair, corporate logos are specifically designed to take advantage of quirks in human cognition to make them distinct and memorable. Most plants pre-date human cognition, and the ones which don’t tend to be the ones people recognize instantly.
Oh look, r/im14andthisisdeep finally migrated to Lemmy!
If you can’t recognize most of the plants in the produce section, you really oughta be eating more fruits and vegetables. I don’t really like veggies either and I still know more than 10 plants just in the category of food you can buy with a corporate logo on it.
Vegetables are often the root of the plant. Fruits are the… well fruit.
I think the context of this meme is about the plant as a specimen in nature.
Below is a picture of a carrot plant and onion plant.
If not for survival video games i would not have known.
You R E A L L Y want to get your carrots/parsnips right when it comes to ID, though. Water hemlock is fatal if ingested, and several parsnips will give you gnarly blisters if you come into contact with their sap
Gotta be easier than mushrooms, right? Right?
Yes, but don’t go touching random plants
onion flowers are my favorite type of flower. when they’re in full bloom they get so pretty. i have a patch of bunching onions that i barely even eat, just keep them for the flowers each year. the patch is growing because each flower produces dozens of seeds

And the carrot plant looks near identical to Giant Hogsweed because they’re both in the same family. One has a delicious carrot underneath and will do you no harm, you can even eat the green tops. The other will cause you severe burns even just by brushing against it. The plant itself doesn’t even burn you, it destroys the skin in such a way that sunshine is what burns you.
Don’t fuck with the carrot gang
hogweed is hogwild. my wife has these strange white scars all over her legs, arms, and chest because she was weed whacking in shorts and a spaghetti top and hogweed juice sprayed on her. she has somewhat darker skin so the scars stand out. she does not weed whack in anything but full coverage now. the scars are slowly fading but it’s been about 5 months and they’re still very prominent.
Typically you’ll have to break the stem, right?
Giant hogweed really is quite large, often more than head-height - you’re more likely to confuse carrot with cow parsley or hemlock or maybe yarrow, I’d have thought.
Cause we don’t live in a forest anymore?
I knew there was something wrong with my place in Phoenix, AZ. Dang Democrats stole the forest!
And the golf courses and lawns have made it humid! I thought it was supposed to be a “dry heat,” fucking over 100° and 70% humidity every single time I have to visit. Either that of freezing. One time it snowed… IN PHOENIX! Well, technically Mesa, but that’s just a suburb of Phoenix.
Plants rarely have their name written on them though
Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂
I always felt that broccoli was spelt the way it looked
I think broccoli and cauliflower should switch names, broccoli looks way more cauliflower and cauliflower way more broccoli.
If we’re nitpicking, I always thought broccoli was spelt wrong.
just proof of the successful campaign by Big Broccoli and the DRAM video 🥦 kids even went with the haircut
How many of those plants do ppl use in their daily lives? vs How many of those corporate products do they use in their daily lives?
It’s a bullshit claim anyhow. Try only using logos that don’t have the company name in them.
Because corporate logos are intentionally designed to evoke the brand they represent?
Yeah, stupid nature. Doesn’t even know the basics of brand recognition.
Also most of the logos are just the name next to an icon. Plants only occasionally have thier name written next to them.
To be fair, the Apple logo is also a plant.
And once you’ve eaten a rotten apple, you never forget.
Fruits aren’t plants
If you know the name of the fruit you usually know the plant, cause more often than not it’s the name of the plant. For instance, apple comes from an apple tree.
That’s a fact, confirmed by Tim Apple.
Embrace the smug gardener and only use the latin names
What’s the latin word for nike?
Victoria
Gonna harvest my Solanum tuberosums.
To be fair, I can’t eat plants. Oh wait, that’s not fair at all. DAMN IT
No no you are right, you can’t eat plants. Checkmate vegans!
I have this condition where if I eat broccoli or cauliflower, I begin to violently projectile vomit due to the taste.
