I was babysitting my little cousin one day and I thought it would be a treat to give her gushers with her lunch. I was completly thrown when she started screaming and ran away. Only sfter I calmed her down did she explain to me that if you ate gushers, your head would turn into fruit (like in the commercial) I still don't think she really understands that its not real.
