gimme some myth that you were genuinely surprised to find out was not true.
I recently found out that turkey does not make you sleepy. there is the triptofan (spelling must be wrong...friggin sue me)--the ingredient that does in fact cause sleepiness... but the trace amounts found in turkey are no where near the dose that would be needed to have any effect.
It's actually the over-eating that causes the sleepiness. Compound that with spiked nogg and you are screwed.
