When my mother and her siblings got their first horse my grandma told them that if they ate pickles, the horse wouldn't run fast (to keep them from eating pickles that were said at the time to be bad for you). My grandma believes that to this day not only are her children not crazy about pickles, but that they still believe on some level, if you eat pickles, your horse won't run fast!
