Here are a few things in my lifetime I've heard and wondered why people actually believed this:
Apparently, if you put Purell hand sanitizer in your eyes, it'll cure pinkeye.
Babies (especially, newborns) cry a lot because they're experiencing growing pains while growing.
Your nerve endings are located behind your eyebrows and they cause you to sneeze each time you pluck your eyebrows because they're connected to your sinuses.
Mustard comes from crawfish (hence, the yellow stuff you see when you peel them).
There's more, but I'll end it here for now. Now, it's your turn to share!

Eat low fat everything and you'll lose the fat and see those abs. Crunches don't give you the 6-pack.
6 meals a day for a ridiculous metabolism.
Of course, all the stuff about raspberry ketones and the acai berry diet.
AGAVE NECTAR hype -_-0 -

Muscle weighs more than fat.....LOL
It just takes up less space but a ton of steel and a ton of feathers weighs the same, a TON.0 -
Don't eat anything after 3 pm, and then even if you eat a crazy amount of food between waking up and 3 pm you will lose LOTS of weight.
There's no reason for people to get married if they don't plan to have children together.
It's ok to have kids when you are on drugs, under eighteen, and/or in severe poverty because "Jesus will find a way to raise your baby right"0 -
- you can lose weight as long as you skip breakfast and dont worry about the rest of the day.
- anything you eat after 7 turns to additional fatYou can lengthen your muscles!0 -
My mom always told me growing up that I would only be able to eat one meal a day in order to keep the weight off since I am so short. I hate my mom!!!0

My favorites:
Your uterus will fall out if you run a marathon
women can't lift heavy weights
Women shouldn't exercise when pregnant, especially lifting
If you lift weights as a woman you will bulk up
Cardio is the only way to burn calories
Eliminate carbs and you will lose weight
Oh there are so many more, but these are some of my favorites.0 -
-Don't swallow your gum cause it'll get stuck in your stomach (won't digest) and you will clog up your intestines.0

The worst is 'cut out carbs and you'll lose weight'. Such a load of crap. You may drop loads of weight to begin with but carbs will sure as hell find you again. If you're working out regularly you NEED carbs; you just have to make sure that you're eating a balanced diet and that you're eating good carbs!!!!0
