When I was about ten, a friend of mine, who was a few years older, and whose mother was a pediatrician, told me that if you eat ramen, it temporarily makes your stupider. She said she only ate ramen during summer break so that she'd be smart when she was at school. I seriously believed her for a few months, then I went back to eating ramen. Sometimes I can still feel it shutting down my brain when I eat it.

I used to believe jelly fish were made from jelly, and refused to eat jelly for years. My eldest sister told me that one!

I used to believe that drinking vinegar would turn you into a robot.

My pastor told me when I was little that if you eat mushrooms, you will grow fungus inside of you. Also if you drink coffee, your guts will turn green.

When I was little and we went to mcdonalds to eat some fries, I would never eat the burnt ones because I thought they were poisonous. I was really amazed when I saw my dad eat a burnt french fry.

my cousin told me that if you ate cherries and drank milk, it would poison you and you could die. Naturally, I had to try it...

I use to really like pickles and my sister tricked me a few times telling me that jalepeno peppers were pickles. I would run around and cry after I ate them and her and her friend would laugh at me!

I used to believe that if you ate the hard part of the popcore popcorn would grw inside you and you would pop until you exploded.

I used to believe that dents in apples were worm holes. If there was only one hole, that meant the worm was still inside and you couldnt eat it.

My bestfriend's grandma tells us that if we eat too much bread, it will soak up our blood. We're 23 & she has alzheimer... Also, every sunday she buys two loafs of bread from the bakery.

I used to believe that people were trying to poison me. I almost stopped eating and drinking entirely until my Dad threatened putting me through another surgery if I didn't start eating.

When I was little I used to eat huge amounts of ketchup by itself all the time. Then my uncle told me I would get brain damage if I kept it up. I waited for years for the onset of the brain damage before I figured I was ok.

My mother always said that she thought that "turkey tetrazini" sounded like a disease. That might be one reason why I've never tasted that dish.

Once I was picking at a kiwi and my aunt told me to back away before it ate me. I believed this until I was 14.
