My gran always told me to 'go easy on the tomato ketchup, because I'm not buying any more', this made me think she was going to die when the bottle was empty, and subsequently made me feel very guilty whenever I put it on my food - in very small amounts.
I realise now she was fibbing, since she lived 'till I was 40!
