My parents convinced me that if I mixed coke and pepsi together and drank it, I would die. I believed that until I was 11 when I saw my mom mixing them together. I was like "NOOO DONT DO THAT" and she just laughed.

I thought that the reason I shouldn't take candy from strangers was that it was poisonous. My sister-in-law thought it was because it had drugs in it. We were both in our 30's when we compared notes.

I used to think the mushrooms the Mario Brothers eat made you grow big if you ate one. I used to look for them. Then I looked in a book and noticed that it was real, and poisonous.

My cousin once told me when I was 7 that broccoli stems were poisonous and that you'd die if you ate them.

I am quite happy to have been told this by my mother, that they are indeed, not poisonous.

When I was little, I thought that if you just ate plain ketchup (no food with it), it made a hole in your stomach and it leaked into your body and that is why blood is red!!

When I was 10 or so my dad told me that freezer burn on ice cream gave you cancer. I never questioned this belief and held onto it subconsciously until I was 17. Whenever I saw freezer burn on ice cream I'd either a) eat around it or b) put it back in the freezer, never thinking that maybe I should either not eat around cancer or maybe even throw it out. It was when I wondered "why don't we throw it out, then?" that I realized maybe he had been joking.

I used to believe that is you cooked eggs the wrong way you would fry your brain on drugs, because of that old public service ad that said, "this is your brain, this is your brain on drugs," and then they would crack and fry an egg.

When I was young my Grandma told me that eating to many pickled onions would stunt my growth. So I was frightened to death of touching them, because I was only 3 foot at the time and did not what to stay that way. Everything has worked out I am 6.1 and love eating pickles. My idea is that I don’t want to grow any taller, so I must be safe to eat then now. Thanks Granny
