-If you make a funny face and the wind changes, you'll stay like that.

-If you don't eat your greens, your hair won't curl.

-Carrots help you see in the dark.

Iirc the carrots helping night vision was pushed hard by the propaganda department in ww2.

Night fighters were being equipped with radar so suddenly much more effective they had to tell people of this to make them feel safe but they couldnt leak why so they pushed the idea that all thier pilots ate lots of carrots.

Upside kids who looked up to the pilots ate thier veg

Taraxacum officinale is used as a diuretic and helps protect against urinary tract infections. Not sure about the piles though.

When I was a wee nipper, if I was going out to play and it was cold outside, ma Gran used to say, "Wrap up warm or you'll catch pneumonia"

Well, I had pneumonia last summer, and I don't think putting on a string vest would have prevented that

Makes sense, sitting on anything cold will draw heat from your blood vessels therefore could cause collapse of smaller blood vessels around the anus
