Someone thought the Prime Minister was shampoo, yes really.
Twitter user, @benoo_brown tweeted a screenshot from Facebook, where someone called Danielle asked the question just "Who is Theresa May?" to which one of her friends helpfully replied "It's the shampoo".
Â
It's easy to see where the confusion lies, if you say Theresa May enough times it starts to sound like TRESemmé - sort of.
Â
It's not the first time people have got confused either. Back in October, Scarlett Moffatt revealed on Gogglebox that her nickname for the Prime Minster was the haircare brand - leading to Channel 4 to do the explanatory tweet.
Â
And of course - viewers got creative.
Â
Turns out, this confusion has been going on for a while. Since before she was even PM in fact.
For anyone who's still confused
Theresa May = Prime Minster of United Kingdom
TRESemme = American brand of haircare products.
