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.

When I was little, my mom told me that too much ice cream caused polio!

My dad got me to stop licking out the inside of the microwave popcorn bags, not by telling me that it was unhealthy, but by telling me that it was coated with motor oil. Somehow, the popcorn was still ok to eat.........

When I was little (I can't remember what age) I was told by my parents to "never ever put grapes in the microwave because they'll explode." When I asked if it would be a 'little explosion' (meaning the grape would pop or something) or a 'real explosion' (meaning an enourmous fireball) I was told "a REAL explosion".

Although I know better now, I'm still wary of putting grapes in the microwave :)

When i was younger, in summer i would constantly eat mangoes. it was all i wanted to eat. Once my mum saw me hacking into about 3 mangoes at once and told me that one day i would eventually turn into a mango. Since i was only about 3 or 4, i believed her and was terrified. the next day at preschool my friend was eating a mango and i matter-of-factly told her that she would turn into a mango.
To this day i still hear laughter in my ears.

i used to believe that if you ate mcdonalds for lunch for more than
7 days in a row you would die . This came about after a lesson at
first school in which a teacher told us only fruit and vegetables had
vitamins in and you need them to live.

For some reason i thought mcdonalds contained no vitamins so if
you kept eating them you died. i was an odd kid!

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.

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.

Whenever my sisters and I used to get Halloween candy, my mother would makes us check them by turning them around in order to find any rips or suspicious tears. I thought that by turning them enough, the “poison” went away.

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 I was certain the age old Urban Myth that eating pop rocks and drinking soda would kill you was true.I thought it would make your head explode.

I used to believe that eating too many tomatoes could make you pregnant.

up until a couple of years ago (i'm in my late 20's), i use to believe if you ate out of an ice cream tub and put it back in the freezer, germs would culminate enough to make the next person who ate the ice cream deathly ill. turns out my mom told me this so we wouldn't eat of the gallon. i'm wise to her ways now....about damn time!

hellobert

I used to believe that yucky food such as brussel-sprouts were evil and that they would haunt you after you've eaten them.
SPOOKY!

My mother always told my brother and I not to eat the last tiny pointed bit of a banana. She said it was alcoholic and we would get drunk.
Although I now know this is rubbish, I won't let my kids eat the last bit either. Why? Because they will get drunk of course!!!!

When people talked about serial killers, I thought that they put poison in your cereal
