My aunt told me when I was little that the wavy heat coming from the road meant you were thirsty. For years when we were all in the car together, all of us kids would say “Look, I’m thirsty!” The adults would roar with laughter, and I never could figure out why. Till much later that is.

I used to believe that when you were an adult you were only allowed to take one sip of your drink at a time. I used to practice drinking just one sip while I watched my mom do the same thing.

once i was drinking aot of orange juice and my sister said i would get drunk if i had too much

When I was little I had a sippy cup that when I sucked on it too hard, the little air hole in it would go "Squeeeeeeee!"

I, for the longest time, thought that there was a little girl in there screaming because she didn't want me to suck her up!

I Used to believe that if u drank a rootbeer float that u would actually float. I remember i was like 6 or 7 and my brother came home and told me him and my mom had went to A&W for a rootbeer float (He was teasing me) I was like WOW REALLY! Did u really float! I wanted a rootbeer float for about a year when i finally got one and was really disappointed I DIDNT FLOAT

When I was little, I used the think they sold licorice at the liqour store, so when my parents went to the liqor store, i would always ask to come to get licorice

Up until I was about 6 or 7, I used to think that, instead of entering the prize codes that I would find on my soda bottle caps on the internet, you were supposed to say the code out loud, and the prize would just apper in your hands. I never tried my theory, though, because I thought my parents would be mad, since I thought the prizes would cost money, and the money would dissapear.

I believed there was a man inside the coke machine. If you gave him some money he would put a soda into the chute and it would slide down to you.

Every time I bought a soda, I would yell "THANK YOU" into the chute.

I used to think that beer was horse pee. Probably because that's what my mom told me...

Kara

I used to believe that if you drank too much water your insides would drown! So if I was offered a drink I'd always think about how much I'd already had to drink that day and be afraid if I had another drink I might drown myself!

i used to believe that smart people were smart because they drank a lot of tea

I am ten and my mom drinks like almost never. So whenever she drinks she seems to talk funny and fall out so every time I see people drink I think the next thing they are goin to go is to Heaven

When I was younger, I thought that coke tasted like chocolate.

Ann

Whenever my family took road trip vacations I used to believe that the bottles of yellow liquid on the side of the interstate were half drank containers of apple juice.

It was only much later that I figured out they were depositories of urine from lazy truckers.

My friend, at age 15, thought that his drink was too sweet. So he poured some out in the garbage to get rid of some of the sugar. He wondered why it was still just as sweet...

Friend of Potheads

when i was younger i saw a movie where there was a gathering at a park type place and a thing full of grape coolaid was there for everyone to drink. Well i dont remember why but someone had poisoned the coolaid. Needless to say i was afraid of grape coolaid for years after, i wouldn't even drink or eat anything grape flavored for a while.

I used to think that tea grew on trees already in mugs!

When I was little, my grandma used to say "crappuccino" instead of "cappuccino," so that's what i thought they were really called!
