wrong info about food...was red bull and starbucks

[Guest guest]

Ok..since someone else said it...

 

I told my sister that spaghetti o's contained rat

poison because I hate the smell of them and it was all

she would eat. (I was 9) And that if she bit into the

cob on corn on the cob she would die from a super

concentrated poison...all because she wouldn't eat

canned corn and it caused dinner table fights. haha

I was told by a collegue that Red Bull contained bull

blood (he said that's what taurine actually was).

When I first went veggie I was told tofu was actually

a form of crushed worm.

And when I was little I was told pepperoni was

actually worms.

 

Why do people tell others that food is something it

isn't just because they don't like it? Makes me giggle

now. Especially knowing I did it to my sis.

Um folks...maybe there is a bit of truth in this one?? Is this ingredient

in Red Bull?
