You know those itty bitty so small you can barely see them spiders that are always, like, red, yellow, or orange? Well, when I was four years old my older brother told that those spiders were flavored. So I spent three years squishing them on my finger and licking them off. I never noticed a taste and he explained this away by saying "They're just too small for you to taste it strongly". I learned the truth when my second grade teacher caught me eating one at recess and told me he had lied. I WILL get him back one day...
