i think that when you put pop rocks in your mouth and drink soda,you blow up,is that true?or is it just stupidity?i think you just get sick or something,i dunno.
what a stupid belief
When I was maybe 4, I jumped off the high diving board at the pool. When I surfaced, my grandpa told me I "must've gotten butterflies from the jump." I was absolutely terrified that I had actually swallowed butterflies, and they were trapped in my stomach. I later whispered to him, completely humiliated, if I would have to poop them out...
up until a few days ago i thought eating the seeds of fruit was good for you. I swallowed sixteen highley poisenouis cherry pits and had to go thruogh a stomach pump

I vaguely remember in nursery during lunchtime one kid told me that most foods go down a tube into your stomach but sausages get stuck in your throat.
You can't go wrong!
When I was in 6th grade, my friends and I always threw and flicked stuff at each other while eating. My friend threw an orange and a kid was walking by (nice kid)anyways, he stepped on the orange and slipped!!It was so funny! He got back up like nothing happened and walked away!XD
When I was a child I wasn't allowed white bread, only brown bread. My mum was always going on about white bread being full of sugar and that I wouldn't grow properly if I continuously ate "rubbish like that." At the time, I took that to mean that if you ate white bread you'd never grow, at all, and that you'd be a child for the rest of your life; stay small for ever.

I loved bananas as a child (and still do). My mother told me that if I ate more than one banana a day I would turn into a monkey. I believed her for a long time!

I used to think that adults turned into worms at nigt and ate all of the spinach,which was actually candy,and threw it back up and that is how it got how it looked and tasted.Now i know that this doesnt happen.The people in the factory do it to cut some slack on the parents.

when i was younger my mom and i would eat crabs together, I was told that the white spongy looking meat that was on the inner shell before you could get to the real meat was called the dead man, i actually thought a man got inside all crabs and died there, i guess she just didnt want me to eat that part of the crab!!
Two summers ago, 2006, a girl from Belarus came for six weeks through a charity (chernobylkidslondon.com). Anyways, we went to a belarussian store and she bouht a bag of - can you geuss?- whole dried fish. With the eyes and everything. I was terribly disgusted, just by the fact that she was eating dried fish like candy, and the fact that I thought she was going to choke and die from the bones and skull. Probably from when I choked on a fish bone, and the fact that I could hear her crunching on them. Needless to say, I always kept an eye out for her choking when she ate the stuff.
In an effort to break bad habits, my mother told me that eating spoonfuls of sugar would give me worms. I pretty much accepted this as fact until I was about 13.
This was also the case with uncooked hotdogs.
when I was little, and my mum was sick, always asleep,
my brother hogged all the food, such as grapes and lettuce
saying that if i ate the grapes I would grow grape vines in my stomach. he said if I ate really green lettuce, (witch i later found was HIS favorite) I would turn into a giant grassshopper
and he would crush me I later told my mum when she got better,
and she told me differently oh well
Well, this isn't my belief but when my littler brother was about 6, i told him that if he ate Broad Beans they would take over his brain! Pretty cruel i know, but i was only 8 at the time and found it quite funny when he didnt eat them. He stopped eating them for 2 years! Before asking my mum if it was true that they did that.
Fairly Crazy
I used to believe that if I put a banana peel on the floor and I stepped on it like in cartoons, that I would turn into a cartoon.

a girl at kindergarden told me whilst eating a carrot, if i ate the core i would die. i ate around the outside and threw away the core

I used to believe if you swallow gum, you'd die. I've never eaten gum since, but now its because I don't like it
My mother used to tell me not to chew on cough drops (probably to keep me from eating them like candy). Because of this, I came to the conclusion that they were poisonous, and biting or otherwise breaking them would release the poison. They were safe as long as they were sucked on until they either became so small as to be swallowed, or completely dissolved. I believed this until I was probably in my teens, when I accidentally bit into one and didn't die.
when I was in preschool our class had a st patricks day party and all the food was dyed green. someone told me that if I drank the green milk I'd turn into a leprechaun. Being the feisty lil rebel I was, I drank it anyways. A while later I started to think about the leprechaun thing and looked in the mirror. I noticed my ears were unusually pointy and became convinced they were right: I was a leprechaun!!!! It took me years to realize that my ears had been pointed forever, and it wasn't the symptoms of my descent into leprechaun-ness.
lucky charms
When I was little I had a love of playing with Play-Doh. I learned to read when I was two, so I always knew that it said "Non-Toxic" on the can. I was told by someone, my mom probably, that it meant that if you ate it it wasn't poisonous. I took that to mean that I could eat all I wanted.
