That your tongue is divided into segments which each can only taste certain flavors

Tbf, schools did a terrible job of that by giving us all those diagrams with the different sections of taste buds highlighted on the tongue.
It makes sense that a child would see that and understand it as there being different taste sections, especially because they usually (IIRC) had bitter on both sides.

It wasn't just children understanding it that way the teachers also believed it.

Wait... it's not?? Then why do I taste bitter only on the back of my tongue?
