• If it’s raining, run through it. This one is actually true - if you bolt through a downpour, you’ll avoid getting soaked.
• Don’t go in the pool after you eat. Don’t let the lifeguards fool you - this is false. The worst that can happen is a little stomach cramp.
• Your Halloween candy might have a razor in it. False - come on people. There are rarely incidents of candy being tampered with.
• Never run with scissors. This is true. I mean, pointy instruments in your hand...you running...it’s just not a good idea.
• Put on sunblock even though it’s cloudy. The sun doesn’t have to be blazing for you to get an unsafe sun burn - you can damage your skin under grey skies too - this one is true.
• Double dipping spreads germs. True! Don’t double dip at a party - you never know where your friends have been.
• The five second rule. This is false - whether it’s been one second or five, your food is going to be full of germs.
• Wear a hat to keep your body heat inside. This has been debunked by recent investigations, which found children only let about 10% of their heat out through their uncovered heads.
• Gum stays in your stomach for seven years. Not true. We doubt the FDA would allow gum to be sold to consumers if it could stay in our stomachs for years on end, so it's no surprise this urban legend turns out to be a total myth.
• Dropping a coin from a skyscraper could kill someone. Not true. It won't kill a pedestrian, but it could cause him/her some discomfort. Air resistance slows the coin down as it falls, but it could still give an innocent person a bruise if it hit them on the head.
