One christmas me and my cousin sat at the dinner table and ate an entire bowl full of cherry tomatoes. My father promptly asked us, "did you eat the seeds?" to which we replied, "yes, all of them", "oh no" he said, "you'll get tomato plants growing inside you" i wasnt too sure at the time but then my cousin had a strange growth on her foot and we were adamant that she was infact growing a tomato plant from her foot!!! to this day i still cannot eat tomatoes!
