Poisonous polosMaybe my mum had a hatred of the small white mints with a hole or she really is as evil as I think. But she told me, quite seriously, that every mint polo you ate meant you lost 15 seconds off your life expectancy.
This terrified me for years.
It wasn't that random a statement as this was the 80s and cigarettes were being demonised as taking minutes off your life for every one you smoked.
This meant me gambling if I had a packet of mints; I liked them but were they were worth dying 3 minutes early per pack? I was also worried about how many I'd already eaten in my life - probably hundreds! If I was going to be hit by a bus would it be early that day?
I was 19 when my girlfriend explained my mum was lying...
