I used to believe that salt was sugar that had gone bad.

When I was little, I always wndered hy my grandfather was badldon the top of his head. I asked my dad and he said, "Its becuase when you cousin was little, he used to sprinkle salt on the top of your grandfathers head." For years I believed that if you put salt on your haed you would go bald.

i used to think that we put salt on our food because it made you feel more full. so i decided to eat salt straight from the shaker into my mouth. once i found out the truth, i decided to just do it anyway coz by then i was addicted to it...

i have really high blood pressure

I believed that salt and pepper cancelled each other out. So if you had put too much salt in your food, you could simply add pepper to take away the saltiness.

my cousins would always eat sugar straight from the sugar bowl. i decided to try it, so i grabbed what i thought was a sugar container and really grabbed a salt container. i tasted it, and i decided i would eat straight salt. one day my mom told me i would have really high bloodpressure if i didnt stop, and told me that high blood pressure means that you heart has to work really hard to pump blood. i decided that i would give my heart a "workout" by eating more salt. i eat straight salt to this day, and now im 22.

Salt-o-holic

I’m pretty well in “balancing” myself. When I was small, I will eat lots of salt if my sweets (sugar) intake is too much. Coz I used to treat salt and sugar are opposites. Till now, it wont be shock for my mum if she saw me eating fruits with lots of salt, but she wouldn’t know, acctually salt is my main dish, fruits are just the companion. Haha………

When I was little I thought salt and pepper were opposites- as in, for every time someone salted something, it canceled out the pepper taste. I pictured someone saying "this is too salty!" and therefore putting more pepper on it. I was very confused for a very long time when my dad would put both on his food at the same time. It just seemed so pointless!

When I was very little, was on my way back from McDs with a straw, and several paper packets of various things including salt and sugar (yes, I was a dangerous criminal). I discovered that sugar tasted nice when sucked through a straw but salt did not.

But hang on ... salt and sugar were the same but different, just like the both and the nose were the same but different. Let me tell you, sniffing salt up one nostril is not fun.

When I was little, I used to believe that salt could absorb water (because eating salt always made me thirsty I suppose). So, I decided to do a little experiment. I took a plastic cup and filled it with water and salt. I left it in one of my desk drawers that I didn't use and forgot about it for years! When I moved, I found it and, alas, the water was not gone. To this day, if you open that drawer, you will smell salt!
