Rules, given to you by someone who surely knew what they were talking about. Well I'm about to bust up some of the common myths you might be living under. Sneaking food into a movie theater. It's bad to get caught, right? You know what's likely to happen to you? Nothing. Most theaters don't care as long as it's not smelly, alcoholic or slippery if left on the floor. So leave the Chow Mien and cocktails at home. What's the worst that can happen? You'll be asked to eat your food outside or told to leave. Even then you'd get your money back. Reading in poor light. Worried that you're hurting your eyesight? According to Robert Cykiret a professor of ophthalmology, this is a "total misconception". He says, "There is no harm whatsoever in reading in dim light". The worst that can happen? You'll get tired from all the straining.
And one final myth: Swallowing your gum. Gum doesn't sit in your stomach for seven years. Not even seven hours. It's starts breaking down the minute hits your mouth.
The worst thing that could happen is you could choke, like with anything else you swallow.
So next time the little voice in your head tells you to stop doing something because of what might happen. You might want to do a little research and find out if that old myth is true.
