And no, I dont want to fact check this

What's a conspiracy theory that you have that has absolutely zero bearing on anything important in the world today? I'll go first. Okay, so bay leafs. Hear me out. I cook a lot, right? And a lot of the recipes that I use or instructions I follow call for a bay leaf to be added to the pot while things are happening, while it's cooking. And you know, I gotta tell you, I gotta be honest here. I. I have never been mid meal eating something and been like, mmm, this is fine. But you know what would make this better? Some bay leaf action, right? Like, it's like, no, like, I don't. I'm not even really 100% sure, like, what the flavor is that it contributes to the pot of food. Because there's usually, like, a lot of other things going on. And I, like, legit, I. I legit think that the bay leaf thing was a joke that someone started. Like someone was pulling a prank on someone and was like, yeah, I don't know, you have to put these leaves in the pot. And then that someone, like, went on to become, like a really famous cook, and they just continued to do it, but then like, taught other people how to do it. And then it just turned into this thing that we do that we don't know why we do it. And whoever started the joke is probably dead now, but I can just imagine them watching everyone putting bay leaves in their food and just been like, should I tell them anyway? Yeah, that's the conspiracy theory that I, that I 100 made up and 100 believe. What's yours?
