This is a take different take on the common belief about gushers.
When I was three, I was smart enough to know that gushers don't really turn your head into fruit. I ate them and nothing happened. However, once, in first grade, someone brought in gushers. One kid wondered if gushers really turned your head into fruit. I told him I ate them when I was three and nothing happened. Then that kid said that you have to be older like the kids in the commercials for it to work!
