When I was at school, me and all my friends believed that the green bits in crisps were highjly poisonous and the black bits gave you cancer. Not only that but my Mum also told me that if you get a ball of flavouring inside a pack of wotsits and eat it, you'll die!
I believed this for years, and still cant eat crisps, and I'm 30!
