What urban legends were popular in your grade school years? When I was a lad, everyone said Yellow Dye No. 5 would lower your sperm count.

Small children were constantly being abducted by murderers and human traffickers at walmart. What they would do is grab them, take them to the bathroom, change their clothes, give them a quick haircut and dye job, and then just leave the store with them. Even if their parents saw them, they wouldn't recognize them. That's why my family shopped at target.

I was actually in grade school for the whole "pop rocks and coca cola will make your head explode thing". The story went that the kid on the front of the Life cereal box (Mikey) actually died that way. The rumor was so persistent that he or his publicist had to actually issue some sort of press release telling everyone he was fine. ...or maybe that 2nd bit was part of the rumor. I forget. I'm old.

We didn't really believe in urban legends after we saw the cops respond to a homeless man at recess that we all saw pass out on hair spray and milk in the parking lot of a grocery store that backed up to our elementary school

If you take a single hit off a joint you'll be giving blowjobs behind the liquor store to pay for crack by the end of the month. Also: Glenn Quebec posted:abstinence works

Us middle schoolers 100% believed that The ghost of Bloody Mary (3x in the Mirror one) died in front of the county library. In the upper west corner of Ohio. We were stupid.

Yeah all those scary stories adults told you about drug dealers practically forcing you to do drugs get shattered pretty quickly after you're a bit older and actually trying to find drugs

did any of your guys schools have a "Freddy Krueger hole"? I guess this is more elementary school but a friend and I went to completely different schools in completely different neighborhoods, but both schools had a hole somewhere where all the kids said Freddy Krueger lived, and asking around we found out it's not an isolated coincidence, it happened... not a lot a lot but more often than makes any sense considering Freddy Krueger did not live in a hole

Professor McShitbrains and all those parents out there who ever said "you know how many people are starving that would want that?" to get you to finish dinner rather than throw away food both had something in common. Neither of them had the time or inclination to expect you to understand the real reason they wanted you to do something, they just wanted you to shut the gently caress up and do it.

Red Dye #2, a common food additive, was linked to cancer in the early 1970s and banned shortly after. Red M&Ms went out of production around 1976. They never actually contained red dye #2, but the company decided not to continue production due to the perception. However, in my school, the rumor was that the dye in red M&Ms acted like Spanish Fly for girls, and therefore the company stopped production to help save the morality of the nation. The rumor also stated, depending on who was telling the story, that you needed either 5 or 10 of them to work, so it was hard to get enough together for them to do the job. (The rumor also contained the bit that the company still made red M&Ms, they just didn't distribute them.)

We heard a rumor that the D.A.R.E. officer from our 6th grade year had been fired for drug use. And uh. I am like 90% sure he got fired for that very thing but after the legend had started spreading. So, good job, Central Illinois urban legend creators

When I was in middle school, I was dating the younger sister of a dude who brought a rifle into the high school (which was right next to the middle school) and proceeded to pull out the rifle and just sit with it in one of the stairwells. The real story was that their parents were alcoholics who barely paid attention to their kids so the dude brought the rifle to school as a cry for attention. This being high/middle school though there were multiple stories about what his intentions actually were. He didn't have any ammunition with him though but that kind of information got drowned out by stories that were more exciting than the truth

This one only works in Melbourne, and only to olds like me. But when I was in school, everybody I know said that one of their teachers was secretly a member of TISM. They were all lying though, because my year 8 Maths teacher Mr. Chesterton was definitely the Bass player.
