when i was growing up, my dad always told me to watch my glass as I drank, because a bug could be in there and I would accidentally drink the bug. The way my young ears heard it was if I didn't watch my glass, a bug would somehow grow out of the liquid! I thought I knew what it would look like and everything :)
