Eating Lobsta On New Year’s Eve Is Bad Luck
As the clock ticks away the last moments of the year, many people across the globe are indulging in traditions they believe will set the tone for the upcoming 365 days. Some eat twelve grapes for good luck, others wear red underwear, and then there are those who fling furniture out the window. But in our household, we have a unique tradition that involves clawing our way into the new year – quite literally.
For as long as I can remember, my husband and I have embraced the superstition that devouring lobster on New Year’s Eve will somehow shower us with financial fortune. Call it crustacean capitalism or seafood sorcery, but the belief that lobster brings prosperity has been an annual feast in our home.
However, recent findings from the finance wizards at Yahoo have thrown a shell-shocking revelation our way – apparently, lobster is the black cat of New Year’s Eve meals. According to Yahoo Finance, lobsters move backward, and in the realm of superstitions, that’s like saying, “Hey, let’s hit reverse on progress for the year!” It seems our lobster-filled feasts might have been hindering our forward momentum all this time. Who knew that those delicious, butter-drenched tails were secretly plotting against our financial success?
In a world where people are tossing sofas and refrigerators out of windows to symbolize the discard of the old and the embrace of the new, here we are, clinging to our lobster tails like they’re golden tickets to financial freedom. Maybe it’s time to reconsider our choices. After all, lobsters might be walking backward, but that doesn’t mean we should be sliding into the new year on a slippery shell of bad luck.
Yahoo suggests opting for round fruits or black-eyed peas to ensure a prosperous start to the year. Perhaps it’s time to swap out the lobster bibs for a bowl of peas and a platter of perfectly round oranges. We could even make a game out of it, challenging each other to see who can throw a black-eyed pea the farthest out the window at the stroke of midnight. It’s a new tradition in the making, and who knows, maybe it’ll catch on faster than lobsters scuttle backward.
So, as we bid farewell to our lobster-laden New Year’s Eves, we welcome the prospect of round fruits and legumes bringing us more luck than a seafood sensation ever could. Who needs a lobster when you can have a pea-licious start to the year? Here’s to breaking free from the shell of superstition and rolling into the new year with a bounty of good luck, one round fruit at a time.
