More 90's Myths We Believed

They lied to us again. And by they, I mean our parents, teachers, church leaders, and literally every adult we trusted in the 90s.

This week, Janna joins me for part two of our ongoing breakdown of the weird shit we were told growing up. Myths like:

• Swallowing watermelon seeds = watermelon growing in your stomach

• The 5-second rule is basically science

• You’ll die if you go outside with wet hair

• Quicksand is everywhere and coming for you

• Flashing your headlights will get you murdered

• You only use 10% of your brain (but what if… superpowers?)

• You can get pregnant from a public toilet

• Jesus could literally come back at any second

• And yes… that permanent record they threatened us with still haunts me.

We’re laughing, unpacking, and remembering what it felt like to grow up with so much fear wrapped in folklore. It’s nostalgic, hilarious, and a little unhinged just like childhood in the 90s.

Plus, in this week’s Caffeine & Coping segment, Janna and I talk about the small stuff helping us feel grounded: new shoes, good coffee, and rewatching The Bear like it’s therapy.

If you ever felt like adulthood is just trying to unlearn all the dumb things you believed as a kid… you’re in good company.
