  The cooked part is very important.

  Wasn’t there something about not throwing uncooked rice at weddings… as it was causing bird deaths because the rice would expand in their stomachs and kill them? Might be misremembering that.

    It was a rumour from the 80’s that is completely false

    linky to snopes

      So good to know. The falseness lived on, cautiously, in me.

    Yes. Rice expands when it absorbs water

      I was wrong, you were wrong! We can throw rice at weddings again. I have a great picture of my mom getting married outside with rice being thrown in her face.
