My cousin once gave me the impression that ants 'came from' sugar (what I think now she must have said was 'came for' sugar).
So I spent my childhood years thinking that sugar was actually ants eggs(!)
A childhood belief about creepy crawlies
others believed things like this
- I thought that a "sugar daddy" was a father who let his kids eat all the sugar they wanted.Anon
- adding too much sugar to foods would give you "sugar worms"...
Anon - I used to believe that when cordial drink said 'sugar free' that you didnt have to pay for the sugar in it!— Grace Lyon New Addington
