Fun fact: Strawberry is called an accessory fruit because its seeds are on the outside, so the needs themselves are the real “fruits” (in the same way each grain of rice or wheat, is itself a fruit, well technically fruit consists of the grain plus the outer pod/husk that gets removed when harvested). The red flesh we like to eat is the accessory fruit because it in itself does not contain seeds.
Raspberries and blackberries are called aggregate fruits because they’re essentially many fruits attached together as a single structure. Actually, a strawberry is called an aggregate accessory fruit because it has many “fruits” directly attached to an accessory structure.
Some of my profs did! I had one class where the prof would have optional “bonus content” not in the syllabus as a further incentive for people to come to class instead of just reading the lecture slides later.

Great explanation thank you! Interesting facts :)
If every Uni professor started each lecture with "fun fact: " I bet I’d learn alot more
