Seafarers have always been a superstitious group. "Clusters" (packet of materials) were actually one of the things they considered bad luck on the high seas. In the eighteenth century, many ships that were lost or sunk while traveling between Spain and the Caribbean happened to be carrying bananas at the time, so having a ship carrying bananas became bad news.

Another unlucky Spanish myth claims that the recipient of saffron-colored clothes will face bad luck. According to Spanish legend, sulfur yellow is associated with black magic, and for the most superstitious people it is associated with the devil himself. If you really feel superstitious, you should avoid wearing yellow altogether, especially if you're interviewing for a job, taking a test, or doing something else for which luck might be helpful. After all, the color of your clothes can reveal a lot of things about you.

Saying "Macbeth" in the theater

At an extraordinary turn, it is the popularity of Shakespeare's tragedy that makes its name unlucky. Legend has it that in England, when a new play fails, theatre ends the show early and shows a production of Macbeth instead, since the popular show is guaranteed to be a success. Saying Macbeth in the theater is therefore tempting fate and suggesting that production may have failed. Even today, playwrights do not dare to pronounce the name "Scottish play" within the walls of the theatre.

Bad news for watermelon wine lovers: according to Argentine custom, you flirt with disaster when you combine these two things together. Not only do you not allow these two materials to come into contact with each other, you shouldn't put them on the same table. However, this myth has a few more or less stringent differences: some people avoid mixing watermelon with any type of alcohol, while others limit the restriction to red wine and watermelon only. The tale of the old wives warns that the two substances can be fatal together (or at least cause severe stomach pain).
