A childhood belief about dangerous food

I used to believe…

up until a couple of years ago (i'm in my late 20's), i use to believe if you ate out of an ice cream tub and put it back in the freezer, germs would culminate enough to make the next person who ate the ice cream deathly ill. turns out my mom told me this so we wouldn't eat of the gallon. i'm wise to her ways now....about damn time!
