Trivia: If you spill salt, what should you do?
Leave it
Sweep it up
Eat it
Throw it over your shoulder
Correct Answer: Throw it over your shoulder
So why is this answer correct? : When you spill salt, you should throw it over your shoulder. But why—and which shoulder—varies depending on the myth. The traitorous apostle Judas is depicted as spilling salt in The Last Supper, leading some to believe that throwing salt over your shoulder blinds the demon behind you. Other theories say spilling salt is bad luck because in ancient times, it was an expensive commodity—and throwing it over your shoulder serves as penance.
