when I was 4, my mom once told me that spiders and scorpions and stuff lived in banana trees, so I was scared to eat bananas from stores, because I thought that when I peeled the banana, there might be a scorpion in there. heh.
i belived that vegies were pioson
when we were little me and my cousins used to eat and suck on these flowers that we found sometimes. they tasted sour thus we referred to them as 'sour flower powers'. all the adults told us they were sour because cats pissed on them. we all ate them anyways, except for my sis, because my older cousin told her that eating them would turn her into a cow.....
i used to belive that eating shredded wheat was realy bad for you because how you remember north east south west,never eat shredded wheat!
When I was little I swallowed an ice cube and thought I was going to freeze.
I use to think if you ate pop rocks you ate pop rocks and drank coke you would explode.
My grandmother used to tell my cousins and I that if we ate sugar cubes worms would grow in our bodies.
~ When I was 6 yrs. old, my baby sitter told me if i ate to many tuna fish sandwiches, i would turn intto a fish!
Hey, i was little, give me a break!~
I used to believe that eggs bought at the supermarket were chicken eggs that could still hatch. I used to hold them in my hands so they would warm up and hatch.
i used to believe that if i ate a peach pit, a peace tree would grow in my stomach.
seriously. i was a dumb kid.
I'm sure I'm not the first to add this one, but my mom instilled in all of her children the insane fear that if you don't cook your pork until it's a piece of shoe leather, you'll get worms that eat through your brain.
When i was young, my Granny, aunts, uncles and of course papa and mama used to tell us that if you didnt finish every bit of rice(we asians here have rice as staple) off your plate, whatever thats left over on it will appear of your future husband/wife's face as pockmarks and pimple. And i figured what its noodles that left over? oh man, wouldnt that be scars that would appear then?! Up till now, i still kinda believe in it.
My friend told me if you eat more than 3 Lyches, you would vomit.
When I was little, before I developed my perception of size, I use to be convinced I would fall down the holes in crumpets so would never go near the things!!!!
My dad told me that if I ate raw spaghetti noodles they would poke holes in my stomach and everything I ate would come out. My grandmother even confirmed it. Funny, I never had stomach problems until I stopped eating uncooked pasta.
While playing in the kitchen as my mom cooked, I asked her about the bottle of vanilla extract that she was using for eggnog. I asked what it tasted like, and she said I shouldn't try it. I asked if I drank it would it poison me and she said yes (I imagine she was suggesting that drinking the bottle would make me sick). To this day I believe that vanilla extract will poison you.
My brother convinced me that if you ate a potato chip with green on the edges, you got cancer. Still can't eat a green chip today.
I was always told that any berry in the woods was totally poisonous, but I eventually lived dangerously and ate wild raspberries without letting my parents or other adults see. I'm still alive!
When I was 5, my father informed me that if I ate 10 Oreo cookies I would explode. I believed him for several years.
My dad always told us that pancake batter and cornbread batter would eat a hole in your stomach if you ate it raw. Because it has a bit of a bite to it, I COMPLETELY believed him. He said cookie batter and such just gave you worms, so I didn't mind sneaking some of that now and then.
