One of the best lines of bullshit i ever tricked someone with was lentil related. It was a homie who id worked with at 3 differences at this point cause we’d keep getting the other one hired and we mutually enjoyed seeing if we could get the other to believe something made up. I said that lentils got their name from medieval times when lent was taken more seriously and only the simplest foods were allowed. And the foods which were allowed were casually referred to as lentils and the only staple lentil available was that crop. Completely made it up on the spot, told it with an absolutely straight face.
Start with asking somebody if they know that green peppers are just unripe yellow peppers. Some people know this but many don’t.
Follow up by asking if they know that green olives are just unripe black olives. A lot more people will be skeptical of this until you prove it to them.
Then you’re in the sweet spot, and you can assert that green lentils are just unripe red lentils.
