2. If you eat chicken wings, you’ll cheat on your partner
How are those two things even related?!
—Rachel
Rachel explains the logic behind this one is that the chicken wing contains a lot of collagen, and eating collagen makes you beautiful. So, if your partner becomes more beautiful, they will cheat on you.
3. You will fail your test if you eat seaweed soup
The seaweed in the seaweed soup is slippery, so you will most likely slip, miss all the correct answers.

4. Never cut your nails at night because a mouse will eat your nails and turn into you
5. You will turn into a cow if you lie down right after your meal
People probably say this because it’s not good for digestion to lie down after you eat.

6. If you whistle at night a snake will come to you
