There really are cacti that are known as prickly pears. They produce a fruit that can be eaten, or used in jellies or candies.

Yes, there truly is. These grow on cactus. They look like flat paddles and are covered with lots of stickers. They must be carefully peeled to remove the stickers before you can eat them.
