once during vacation, i started reading the salt package, and when i saw "crystaline table salt" y yelled out loud "no, we can't use this salt, it's for crystaline tables, we're eating on a plastic one"

Salt Kid

When I was a kid I read that salt was made from a combination of sodium and cloride. I later discovered that both salt and chloride were actually poisonous (that's what the book said anyway). It didn't take me long to conclude (despite all evidence to the contrary) that salt was completely deadly to eat and so i refused to eat anything that had been anywhere near the stuff. I must have spent ages trying to figure out why people didn't keep dropping down dead around the dinner table - A death I imagined to be particullarly disgusting and gruesome... I mean look what it does to slugs.

I used to believe that salt and pepper were opposites i.e. that salt made a meal more salty and pepper diminished its saltiness.

I used to think that pepper was only used to mark where you'd put the salt.
