Before I went to school, my mum would tell me that spiders laid their eggs at the very end of the banana, and they were poisonous. Being so old, though, she was immune to the poison, so I should always give her the last bite of my banana!

My mother told me that drinking mile straight out of the carton (this was in the days before plastic milk jugs) would cause my stomach to swell up and explode. For years I would only drink milk from a glass. Consequently I always threw my school lunch milk away because there were no glasses and it came in cartons. I can't believe I never wondered why all my friends were OK after drinking the school milk...

When I was a young warthog, I believed that when you baked apple pie the apples turned into little demons. When you ate the apples (or "little demons") you turned into a giant demon. I have never eaten apple pie again.

I've always liked all vegetables, but up until about 5 years ago, I thought that the stems of brocolli were poisonous.

my family is part polish and my grandmother would cook polish food a lot. most of it had cabbage in it, which i disliked as a child. my grandfather told me i should eat it because it would "put hair on my chest". i really thought i would start growing chest hair (im female) and firmly refused to eat it... his psychology didnt work very well.

On the Johnson Smith Company catalog, i saw the book about bodily fluids and when I saw the phrase "toe cheese," I thought that cheese came from human toes. And then when my mom and I were eating crackers and cheese, she said "why are you not eating?" and I said "because It is dreadful!, cheese came from toes!" Then I showed the magazine to her and pointed to the bodily fluids book where it says "toe cheese" on it.

When I was in kindergarden, I was having an egg for lunch and a kid came to me and said not to eat the bottom of the egg, because it is poison!

When I was younger I was told that tapioca pudding contained frog eggs. So up until I was about 15 I continued to tell my friends this lie.
