About the age of 7, whenever my mum drank tea/coffee, i asked her if i could have some and she used to reply

"no, if you drink tea or coffee you will turn black"

Obviously believing this to be true i didn't drink tea or coffee for bout 10 years,

until one day, when i decided to take my chances and made myself some tea!! now i love the stuff!

Drinking exactly 3 litres of sunny delight made you turn orange.

I used to believe that when a juice package said the juice was from concentrate, that concentrate refered to a company that produced juice and I used to think "Wow, they make a lot of juice."

When I was little, I used to think that since the orange juice carton said from concentrate, it was made from people concentrating :P

When i was little, i went to my uncle's house. I asked for some lemonade, but he told me not to drnk it because it made you small by shrinking you. i belived it had something to do with the bubbles, and the gas that somehow made you small. I told myself i'd never drink it again, but of course being little, i just forgot, and i've drunk it ever since!!

I used to see those little codes for contests that Pepsi put on their bottle tops, and I believed there was a little person trapped inside trying to talk to me through the cap. So the first time I saw it, I was running through the house at age 8 screaming, "The soda is communicating! The sodais communicating!"

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

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.

When I was about 6 I overheard an elderly aunt say to my grandmother "Jo, I've decided to stop drinking!".

This puzzled me and I inquired, "But won't you get thirsty?!"

I loved soda pop SO much when I was little, and resented that drinking fountains only spurted out water. So when I heard about "soda fountains," I thought that maybe someday, my school would get sensible and install fountains that spurted out the flavored pop of your choice.

When I was about 5 years old , my sister told me that if you dont press down the little bubbles on a soda lid ( that says what you drank ex : Root beear , cola , ect) my mom and dad would go to jail.

When I was little, i was soo afraid to drink black coffee thinking that it would make me dark. It really was my grandfather's fault coz he drinks a lot of coffee and he was, well.. really dark! :)
