It's not made of cheese? - Common Miscon...

Ladies & Tangents
About this episode

We've been known to throw out a statement or two like it's a fact that we've seemingly acquired from everyone and no one simultaneously. It's pretty common for people to regurgitate information without siting their sources or discussing the logistics of the questionable truth. I've re-read the last two sentences and wondered if I'm making any sense so here it is- we're talking about common misconceptions! We'll let you know if you can hop in the pool after that piece of pizza before 30 minutes or if you really do eat 8 spiders every year. Spoiler- you definitely can and you probably don't.
