Idk if this a media thing, but I remember thinking the Audubon Society was "the Autobahn Society" for an embarrassingly long time and was always like "wait why does the Hitler Highway sponsor bird conservation stuff??"
Oh, and thinking Forest Gump was a real historical figure as a kid lmao
I knew it was a movie and he was being played by Tom Hanks who's an actor and a different guy, but I thought it was Based On A True Story™️ and that the character was a real guy that they embellished
"Of course he was a real guy, who else would've founded the real Bubba-Gump Shrimp Company restaurants?"
