Garlic And Gender

“The garlic test” is yet another old wives’ tale, that is probably one of the strangest of the entire list. According to this one, the pregnant woman is supposed to eat an entire clove of garlic… which could be quite a strenuous task, pregnant or not. Then, she is supposed to rely on her sense of smell.
If the pregnant woman reeks of garlic she is said to be having a boy. If she doesn’t smell like garlic at all, then she’s having a girl. These days you can find out what gender you’re having as early as 15 weeks, so we think we might pass on the ol’ garlic test thank you very much!
