EWWWWW!!!! Did you guys know.......???

Question

I just read on a snapple fact that a human on average eats8 spiders in his?her life while sleeping! that is sick!!!!!

Answer 1

Spiders are very low calorie and high in protein.

I'm more concerned about the 56 slugs that crawl into our orifices during our lifetimes.

Answer 2

its not true
its just an Urban Legand

...
i'll show you the proof:


EDIT:
"No, this is an urban legend. Created to show that people will believe anything--and then going on to be believed. The following is from the urban legend debunking site www.snopes.com Claim: The average person swallows eight spiders per year. Status: False. Origins: Fear not. This "statistic" was not only made up out of whole cloth, it was invented as an example of the absurd things people will believe simply because they come across them on the Internet. In a 1993 PC Professional article, columnist Lisa Holst wrote about the ubiquitous lists of "facts" that were circulating via e-mail and how readily they were accepted as truthful by gullible recipients. To demonstrate her point, Holst offered her own made-up list of equally ridiculous "facts," among which was the statistic cited above about the average person's swallowing eight spiders per year, which she took from a collection of common misbeliefs printed in a 1954 book on insect folklore. In a delicious irony, Holst's propagation of this false "fact" has spurred it into becoming one of the most widely-circulated bits of misinformation to be found on the Internet."

and notice the quotes

Answer 3

Yes, I knew...lol
And did you know that there are insect pieces in chocolate bars? Since bugs are attracted to all the sugar in the factories, there are bound to be some falling into them. It's a fact..

Answer 4

Gross! Btw, I think snapple facts are not true & my science teacher said that too.

Answer 5

Not true, spiders like cool dry places. Only if they were thrown into your mouth is that possible. Think about it. They can only get in if your mouth is open, and that means you'll be breathing through your mouth. Exhaling hot humid air. It would drive them away. ;)

Answer 6

Nope, yuck

But did you know that when you eat chocolate your eating atleast 3 ant legs? This is because in the chocolate factory they have insects flying and crawling everywhere!!!

Answer 7

I read that too! That's what I was thinking it was when I clicked here. And I live right by the woods so I probably eat double. Sick...

Answer 8

I didn't,I would like to think that is not true for me,I don't believe any spiders have gone in my mouth lol.

Answer 9

I wish I could keep my mouth closed at night lol
