I'm still salty that I once lost a game of trivia because I said this myth was false, and the "official" answer said it was true.

Do you have a source that this claim is just a myth?

It was intended to be an example of a ridiculous "false fact" that went on to become widely believed.

Also, I can barely eat 6 spiders in one sitting.
