In the supermarket, is there a secret code to let others know you’re single by the way you place bananas in your trolley?
This was the question posed by a Sunrise viewer and we asked All Stars Monique Wright and James Valentine if they thought it was true or an urban myth.
Both Monique and James agreed it’s an urban myth which got us thinking about our favourites:
Does chewing gum take seven years to pass through your digestive system?
Do casinos turn up the air conditioning after midnight to make sure patrons don’t get sleepy and decide to go home?

My favorite old wive’s tale is that it will snow 7 days after it thunders (in the winter). I love it because in my whole life (I’m 18) it’s only NOT come true once. Seems like it might not be a myth after all…

My favourite old wives tale, infuse 1 chamomile teabag and a teaspoon of fennel seed, in a small saucepan, when it is cool enough it can be given to your babie to reduce bad colic.! therefore reducing your trip to the chemist or dr. I have a daughter and used this regularly when she was a baby, and yes it really does work, I have since passed it on to quite a few new mums…..

Biggest Myth is ‘A Fair Go’ and ‘Equal Access’ regardless of Race, sex, class in the Canberra Magistrates Court where Judges are permitted to abuse the public.
Another Myth is Drink Driving is a Crime as Ministers are supported to Drink and Drive for the good they do the community – never mind the same minister voted to remove any responsibility to that of being re-elected.
The only Myth I think stands the test of time, is that the rich get richer while killing anyone else for a political ideal.
