When I was quite young, I use to think TB shots (for tuberculosis) were TV shots, and you got them so if you watched too much television you wouldn't get TV eyes, like in the kids' book The Boy with Square Eyes.

- I used to believe that Jello Shots were something that came out of a gun somehow. — J-E-L-L-O
- if I watched too much TV, I would get 'googly eyes' as mom promised, and my eyes would pop out of my head.— claire
