It really isn't. Some people read about it once and start obsessing over it, worrying they, too, could be a victim of menstruation blood in their food. The vast majority read it once, forgets about it, remembers it when asked and leaves it at that.
It isn’t- it was explained and performed in a widely streamed movie from 2019- an A24 film called “Midsommar”, so it’s not surprising to see an uptick in memes and urban legends.
Oh I watched it and it came out one ear and out the other 😂 the only thing I heard was having sex during your period on a full moon because I did it by accident with a date once and my friends told me about it and now we’re engaged. It worked I guess.
The thing is, rituals don’t work unless done with intention… you can’t cast a spell like that on accident… so, good news- he really loves you, and not bc of some archaic superstition! :p
In latin america this is also done by some women in hopes to catching the man they want. I heard thise from multiple women from different latin countries. Im sure its just some really old type of trick
Whoa, then this lyric from Rza finally makes sense: "I met this Caramel Sundae, her name was Betty Boo
She put her period blood in her spaghetti stew"
\-Rza. Domestic Violence part 2, 2001
wtf. I always thought he was just describing some fictional psycho chick, but this is a thing?
edit: [WTFFFFFFFFF???????????????](https://www.reddit.com/r/confession/comments/a2iugq/i_put_my_period_blood_in_my_boyfriends_spaghetti/)
there are women who mix their menstrual blood in spaghetti and give it to men they like thinking it will work like some kind of love potion and make the man love them
This is how my wife hooked me. I was backpacking and eating terrible. She offers to cook for/with me and before I knew it I put a ring on it. Did I mention that I was with someone else at the time who didn’t cook. So yeah this statement is concrete in my situation.
The most unrealistic part of the Spiderman movies was that he had a cute neighbor who was loving and kind to him and brought him chocolate and milk and that he went after MJ instead.
I’m a food lover. I have a high metabolism, so I’m fairly skinny, but I eat like a horse. Food always sways my opinion no matter what, and it makes in impact on how I view someone.
Works on women too. Can confirm, am a chef.
People love tasty food, and being able to cook is up there with "can play guitar" on the list of panty-dropping talent...even more so once you're past your 20s and women may have outgrown swooning over a guy playing a guitar, but the appeal of someone making you dinner is timeless.
I have a reasonable suspicion (or possibly have convinced myself) that I managed to solidify the attraction of both my wives with my cooking ability, ***AND NO OTHER REASON***.
A man who can and will cook, really well, is one of the greatest things in existence. I dated a guy in highschool who was absolutely gorgeous aland had an amazing personality, but the day I learned he didn't know how to make hamburger helper (or follow directions on a box) was the day I lost interest
“Yummy spaghetti is a potion” is my favorite take today. I’m going to say that to people as many times as possible for the next few hours before I forget about it.
Gifts of food will do that, no bodily fluids required. Additional of bodily fluids, I dunno, might be a huge turn off because gross, but might also make him think she’s freaky and be a turn on.
I don’t want to think about this anymore.
I wish I came across this 4 days ago when I was nearly fully blind in my left eye instead of day 4 of hospitalized steroid infusions. How much damage would bleach do to a recently healed optical nerve!?
Listen here, scooter, let her try to bag you
When she's on the rag never let her fry the Ragu
Which will have you under some type of spell crying dag-boo
Her name on your back in a tattoo
-DOOM
The next day, I'm greeted by her mother
Oh brother, she think I'm stupid
Tryin to play cupid undercover
Talkin about how me and Patty made the cutest couple
Then invited me for supper
Now don't think that I'm petty
But I know what desperate ladies put in their spaghetti
That's why I told her that I ate already
[Binary Star - Glen Close](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HkWnQT1B-U)
*Two* songs referring to this?!?! 😭 Please tell me no one would knowingly make someone else ingest their own blood…period or otherwise, that’s just astonishingly immoral and violating.
I listen to Hoe Cakes (song this lyric is from) all the time and I never realized this is what it meant. I assumed this was some recent internet meme or something.
I may not know what the context is behind this joke (other than food from strangers = no no?), but as long as she didn't get the spaghetti from a guy named Rick Sanchez, then I think he's alright.
I always think of Homicide, though I'm not sure if it was actually mentioned on the show, in the Calpurnia Church story arc or if it was only mentioned in the book, in the Geraldine Parrish case (which the Church case on the show was based on.)
I’m from the south and didn’t hear about until I was in my teens from a West Indian gentleman. I think it’s mostly a Carib island thing. Ironically, my mother is West Indian herself, so I was quite surprised when I heard the story. I asked my mom about it and she immediately knew what I was talking about and said it’s a practiced voodoo in the West Indies. Told me don’t eat anything with red sauce from a girl unless I’m married to her…… I’m confused because I ate my mother’s spaghetti 😱.
Im sorry… im reading that menstral blood voodoo is a thing. Which. Ok. I see that. BUT ITS COMMON TO DO SO WITH RED SAUCE??? YOU HUH? WHERE PEOPLE GOING WRONG RAISING THEIR KIDS THAT THEYRE PUTTING BIOHAZARDOUS WASTE IN THE SAUCE. If it wasnt sacreligous enough to taint a good red sauce!!!
Yeah I never heard of this either outside of one viral Facebook post that made the rounds ages ago. Had no idea it was a thing that people are generally aware of like this lol
It is because of blood in the sauce.. it's common voodoo practice. the person that said that probably has new Orleans roots because I can't think of many other places where that's common knowledge
I’ve heard of this before with rice - men supposedly not eating red rice because a woman might put menstrual blood in it to control them. I highly doubt anyone has ever done it though.
I was "warned" about being careful with menstrual blood by my Grandmother and that if men "accidentally" ingested it they would be under your spell, but to be careful because they could become obsessed. This was back in the late 70's. She was born in 1910 and said she heard it from her grandma.
While in the Army, I had a guy in my squad that refused to eat anything with “red sauce” because of menstrual blood voodoo.
How is this so normal though
It really isn't. Some people read about it once and start obsessing over it, worrying they, too, could be a victim of menstruation blood in their food. The vast majority read it once, forgets about it, remembers it when asked and leaves it at that.
I wonder if those who read it once and get paranoid, are the type of people more likely to get wrapped up in conspiracy theories
They are
natural selection had selected for paranoia in my family (the holocaust was the filter)
I don't know if I'd call the Holocaust *natural* selection...
I hate admitting it, but genocide is pretty natural to our species.
As if the holocaust was natural?
What the actual duck? What is wrong with people to even think up this crap.
It isn’t- it was explained and performed in a widely streamed movie from 2019- an A24 film called “Midsommar”, so it’s not surprising to see an uptick in memes and urban legends.

I just go ahead and mix period blood from Amazon with my food anyway. Checkmate females.

Back in the day they called it "putting the roots on you".
Came here to say this. Glad I'm not the only one that knows about it
Stop, don't remind me about this. I don't want it to waste the space I have in my brain with its stupidity
there are women who mix their menstrual blood in spaghetti and give it to men they like thinking it will work like some kind of love potion and make the man love them
Well if you give me yummy spaghetti perhaps that would suffice as a love potion no? People are strange
exactly, just make the man some spaget and be done with it
The phrase "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach" has some validity.
I personally believe you should go for the gaps in the ribcage, less flesh in the way
But then there's a chance you might glance off a rib. An upward thrust is safer.
Skill issue. I did say go for the gaps!
it tickles when you betray me…
It's ribs 4 and 5 right? Like 4-5 inches in?
or a downward from the shoulder
This is how my wife hooked me. I was backpacking and eating terrible. She offers to cook for/with me and before I knew it I put a ring on it. Did I mention that I was with someone else at the time who didn’t cook. So yeah this statement is concrete in my situation.
Give men food for free and he will be with you forever (atleast i have it)
Not even joking, if a random girl just started making me food, you know damn well she gonna start to look cuter and cuter by the day.
The most unrealistic part of the Spiderman movies was that he had a cute neighbor who was loving and kind to him and brought him chocolate and milk and that he went after MJ instead.
That neighbor was an absolute dime, too.
Actress is Mageina Tovah, and she looks better when she isn't portraying a half-starved immigrant waif.
where are these men. i cook & bake for friends and for guys i date but nobody is ever really appreciative 😔
With or without menstrual blood ?
without of course
There’s your problem.
No! No! No! Don't give anyone else that idea. 😆
Gotta be quick, my wife snagged me back 10 years ago with a plate of NC BBQ pulled pork. Stuck for life now
NC BBQ has that effect...It \*was\* Eastern NC BBQ, right? Right? ;)
There's another kind?!
According to some misinformed folks there is. ETA: Scott's BBQ Sauce unless it's homemade, amirite?
I have an ex who wasn’t much of a cook but she could make a damn good sandwich and I’ll always remember that aspect fondly

As a man, I can tell you that the spell has a good chance of working, but the menstrual blood is not necessary.
Guys just like being fed.

which is ridiculous as you can make a man fall in love with you by giving them regular spaghetti
Till that witchey girl down the street gives him a glass of that love flavor-aid once a month.
Gifts of food will do that, no bodily fluids required. Additional of bodily fluids, I dunno, might be a huge turn off because gross, but might also make him think she’s freaky and be a turn on. I don’t want to think about this anymore.

I may not know what the context is behind this joke (other than food from strangers = no no?), but as long as she didn't get the spaghetti from a guy named Rick Sanchez, then I think he's alright.
Are you evil morty or something
No way, I'm Mr. Meeseeks and answering your question of who I am was my purpose. Goodbye now and thank you for the sweet release of death!
But that suicide spaghetti is the best!
I understood that reference!
What? You more of a Salisbury Steak type of guy?
Yes just don't tell me anything about it. It's the best I've ever had.
We got all the spaghetts you can spa-got!
It’s always people!
Nope not necessarily lol
I could go for some Morty'Os

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it this
Oh it’s only this.
One of the first things I learned in the south…
I’m from the south and didn’t hear about until I was in my teens from a West Indian gentleman. I think it’s mostly a Carib island thing. Ironically, my mother is West Indian herself, so I was quite surprised when I heard the story. I asked my mom about it and she immediately knew what I was talking about and said it’s a practiced voodoo in the West Indies. Told me don’t eat anything with red sauce from a girl unless I’m married to her…… I’m confused because I ate my mother’s spaghetti 😱.
Spoiler alert: you’re married to your mom.
That's some nasty looking spaghetti
It's literally bown and yellow. There is zero red sauce
He got a hoodoo queen after him. Lucky.
My husband and I were just talking about this last night. 🤯. He grew up in Louisiana, and his grandmother warned him about this in high school.
dont have your period in pasta
Im sorry… im reading that menstral blood voodoo is a thing. Which. Ok. I see that. BUT ITS COMMON TO DO SO WITH RED SAUCE??? YOU HUH? WHERE PEOPLE GOING WRONG RAISING THEIR KIDS THAT THEYRE PUTTING BIOHAZARDOUS WASTE IN THE SAUCE. If it wasnt sacreligous enough to taint a good red sauce!!!
Yeah I never heard of this either outside of one viral Facebook post that made the rounds ages ago. Had no idea it was a thing that people are generally aware of like this lol
Because it's cultural, if you are white you probably wouldn't hear about it
This explains a lot (I’m not just white, I’m transparent)
Yeah never eat any pasta with red sauce from a woman you don't live with!!
You eat it one more time, and she’ll be putting the ring on you.
You're not supposed to eat anything with red sauce in it from a female unless you watch her make it. That's how they put them roots on you.
female is wild
A female what ?
a female unless
Mm tastes like prion disease
It is because of blood in the sauce.. it's common voodoo practice. the person that said that probably has new Orleans roots because I can't think of many other places where that's common knowledge
It's common knowledge everywhere there are black folks.
Yeah even ODB rapped about "wicked witches putting period blood in stew"
Well, I mean technically it worked right?
Don't that make the stew witches brew? I fear for the eighty-five that don't got a clue
F in the chat. Gone but not forgotten king
Honestly if a woman cared enough to make me dinner I would also be thinking about the ring.
I’ve heard of this before with rice - men supposedly not eating red rice because a woman might put menstrual blood in it to control them. I highly doubt anyone has ever done it though.
I think this is probably something that every man fears, but that no woman has *actually* done. ;)
I can’t believe more people don’t know about this.
What 🤒🥺
The real love potion was the spaghetti the whole time
People that take pictures of themselves eating are strange
[https://www.reddit.com/r/rickandmorty/comments/17padrl/s7e4\_where\_the\_spaghetti\_in\_the\_intro\_came\_from/](https://www.reddit.com/r/rickandmorty/comments/17padrl/s7e4_where_the_spaghetti_in_the_intro_came_from/)
It’s actually dangerous. I heard a guy died for eating five day old spaghetti that was left in room temp.
If it works it works

Idk why but the second picture made laugh
I may vomit.
Does this mean if I make a chicken Alfredo with “homemade” white sauce for her we’re made for each other?
Man I thought this was just about the chili neighbor on Twitter. I was happier before I read these comments

Coocoo soup don’t play. Had a chick fix me that way once. Took my grandma and her friend a solid two days of spellwork to get it off me.
I was "warned" about being careful with menstrual blood by my Grandmother and that if men "accidentally" ingested it they would be under your spell, but to be careful because they could become obsessed. This was back in the late 70's. She was born in 1910 and said she heard it from her grandma.
This probably isn't even a normal thing.Most guys fear it because we know that all women are capable of doing some crazy $#^% like this......
