In the golden age of misinformation, it's not surprising to hear people say questionable things. Ignorance seems to be in abundance these days, and each day online might just confirm that civilization's collective IQ is going down fast. How else could we explain the fact that 7% of Americans believe that chocolate milk actually comes from brown cows?
People can think all kinds of ridiculous stuff, but some actually say it out loud. That's how they end up on lists like these, where we chuckle at and shame people for their ignorance. These gems come to you from one online thread, where one netizen asked: "What's the stupidest thing you've ever heard someone say that you still think about to this day?" If you've heard some dumb statements lately too, don't forget to share them with us in the comments!

While working in a copy shop I actually had a customer ask for double sided transparencies. I thought he was joking because that was a prank we pulled on new employees over the phone. Nope. He was serious.

I was out to dinner once, about 10 years ago, at a reasonably fancy place in the US Southeast, near the gulf coast. Think "Old South"; white table cloths, candles, magnolia flowers...that sort of place. Sat at the table next to me was a young couple who were clearly on a date. If it weren't their first date, it seemed things were still very early in the courtship.
On the menu was a chicken dish listed as "Cajun Chicken". One of the young couple ordered this as their meal when suddenly the other chirped condescendingly, "Uh, haha, no honey. It's "Cay-hoon" Chicken. The J makes an H sound, like 'jalapeno'."
I nearly choked.
