When my brother was young I told him if he ate the hole around the doughnut he would die.
To this day, he's 34 now, he leaves a small round crust so that he doesn't eat the hole =)

My dad told me that if I ate my crusts it'd put hairs on my chest. As I am female I didn't want a hairy chest, so I never ate the crusts

i used to believe that if you ate loads and loads of crust from bread it would make you have BIG boobies.

My mother used to always tell me that if I ate the crust of my bread it would make me be able to whistle really well.
I still can't whistle to this day.

I used to believe that the crust and the bread were two seperate things.

When I was in 1nd grade, I was at lunch with my close friend. My sandwich had crusts and her didn't. I asked why her sandwich looked like that. She pointed at my sandwich and mocked barfing. she said," My sandwich is clean. Do you know crusts are brown because they have DIRT on them?"

I started crying and spit out my sandwich. I belived that until I was 3rd grade. I asked my science teacher about it and she wouldn't let me live it down! :P

I used to (and still do) bite my nails. I also used to really hate the crust on bread - the top part that has a kind of bittery gross flavour. One day my sister and her friend were babysitting me and I refused to eat my crust. My sister's friend told me that the crust had some stuff in it that helped hair and nails grow. I believed her, of course. The crust is different from the bread so I figured they put something on it to make it crustier. I believed it until about 10th grade, when I actually stopped and thought about it, and realised it was a silly idea. I felt pretty stupid.

I thought the end pieces of bread had no crust. I hated crust, so I'd always ask for those pieces.

Later, I learned that those pieces were pretty much just "crust," and I wouldn't eat them anymore. Amazing how the taste of something changes once you know what it really is!

My brother told me that there was a crust compartment where monsters lived and if I didn't eat my crusts I would naver be strong enough to beat the monsters in a fight.

my mom used to tell me that the crust of the bread was healthier than the bread in an attempt to make me eat it. i never really ate it anyway

My mother, rest her soul, would tell me when I was young to be sure to eat the bread crust, because that's where the vitamins were. It took me several years before I figured that one out. My wife and children get a kick out of that story. Maybe I'll try that one on my four year old grand-daughters, it might work!

When I was little I never liked eating the crust on my toast, sandwichs, etc...so one day my aunt told me that they were made out of candy to get me to eat them!

My stepmother told me when I was younger that the crust on sandwhiches would make my hair grow faster...I swear I had PB&J sandwiches every day for lunch for like, 2 months.

My parents were fond of telling me that the crust on a slice of bread was the healthiest part of the bread. I was required to always eat the crust because of this "fact." It was not until a jr high chemistry class that I realized that bread crust was composed of the same ingredients as bread and therefore could not possibly be more nutritious.

My grandma told me if you ate the crust or the "heel" of bread you would have rosey cheeks and would be able to whistle. I've never had rosey cheecks or been able to whistle!!

when i was little i thought that pizza grew on trees and that the crust was poisoness thats why nobody ate it.

cameron

When i was little, my sister constantly told me that if i didnt eat the crust on my bread the crust monster would come in the middle of the night and eat me.

Laura

When I was younger my cousin who was a little older then me told me that if you eat pizza crusts or bread crust your hair would stop growing

On a road trip, my parents and I stopped into a convinience store/bakery that was kind of dirty.We bought some snacks, but I walked by the shelves of bread and the crusts were very dark brown.

The bread we bought at the supermarket was never that dark, so I thought the reason that the crusts were so bad is that the baker dropped them on the floor repeatedly.
