For me, it was bananas. I love them, but as a kid, my mom wouldn't buy them, because she thought they were too expensive.
As an adult with a good job and my first apartment, I would pass bananas in the grocery store, automatically thinking they were too expensive, but one day I noticed the price, and thought "That's not expensive, I can afford that," and I bought bananas for the first time.
That was decades ago, and now I buy bananas on almost every grocery trip.
That's bananas.
Bananas expensive?? They're usually the cheapest fruit around. My mother loved giving them to us. Sometimes we'd slice them long wise so they'd have a flat top, then put chocolate chips on there! Great after school snack.
It's one banana, Michael! What could it possibly cost? $10?
There are old fucks around here. Back in the war things were different.
They're definitely the cheapest right now. I can get a large bunch of bananas for the price of one peach locally
That's nice that your family can afford them. Back in the 60s, my family couldn't.
Me, age 50, with hypertension: I want to be 30 so I can eat as many pickles as I want.
Me as a kid: "I wish I had a tail!"
Me as an adult: "I wish my tail was real and not just habging outta my butt."
Meanwhile blood pressure: screaming intensifies

Define "significant". I, for one, have never had an insignificant number of pickles.

I am intrigued. Most of the cultures I'd expect to have that proverb have neither definite nor indefinite articles in their language.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, you add those when translating so you don't get broken English?
Tread lightly, pickle-loving anon.
Knowing you can go to the store and buy a whole rotisserie chicken and eat it in your car is powerful stuff...
It's so good to have simple dreams. Where's my ancient wisdom? Cool beard? Humanitarian organization fighting to provide a decent life for almost every human?
i bought pickling weights for my wife just because this summer and she looked about as happy as when we brought home kittens
Better : I can buy them, any brand, any size. Living the dream indeed.
