What's a true fact that is so misleading it's borderline misinformation?

What would be some fact that, while true, could be told in a context or way that is misinfomating or make the other person draw incorrect conclusions?

Wait, so you're telling me that there are no vending machines in the ocean that are preying on people swimming in the water?

There may be, the ocean is deep and not thoroughly explored.

You're scaring me! Just the thought of having a swim and then suddenly hearing a bag of chips getting stuck behind a glass panel sends shivers down my spine.
