I used to believe, when i was about 4, that red skittles were poisonous. No one could convince me otherwise. But I knew the trick to getting the poison out was to let them sit somewhere until they became dusty, then eat them with the dust still on there. My mom claims she found red skittles shoved everywhere around the house.
