34 Things People Get Wrong Routinely

Ever hear about an “old wives' tale” or some other modern myth? Like when your grandmother told you at age 5 not to swallow watermelon seeds or else you'd grow a watermelon in your belly. Then you accidentally swallow one and become riddled with fear. “But watermelons are almost as big as me, I'm five!” you thought to yourself as you constantly tossed and turned at night, awaiting the nightmare of this round, cumbersome work of agriculture to grow within you to essentially blow you up from the inside. You panic and try to force yourself to poop in order get the seed out before the watermelon roots take hold in your intestines. Do you remember that? And how relieved/furious you were at grandma when you found out it was nonsense?

Anyway, there are still some things you believe that are just as truthful as a watermelon growing inside your body. We here at Cracked are ready to set you straight and ease your fears (sort of).
