When I was young my Dad told me that if you put alot of soy sauce on your food that would be poison. It was ok to use a little, but pretty tricky business as a little kid trying to figure out what amount would be just right and not poisonous.
A childhood belief about dangerous food

others believed things like this
- I thought when you got food poisoning it might someone had put poison in your food— Bootlebat
- i used to think tabasco sauce was tobacco so i'd always be like "mom! dont put that in our food!!"Anon
- I used to think that Tabasco Sauce contained tobacco, and therefore was actually "tobacco sauce."
Anon - my grandfather told me that soy sauce was bug juice.Anon
- My Dad told me that Soy Sauce was made of grasshopper spit! I didn't eat it for YEARS!— TawnyKat
- My older sister told me squirrels were poisonous, and I believed her until I was 9.— Jenni
