I used to believe that coco cola waa alchoholic.
I got kinda scared when they were serving it at my friends birthday party.LOL!

Coca cola.Alchoholic?

When Al Capone's vault was opened, I overheard someone saying that all they found was a bottle of booze.

So I asked, "What are boos?" I was picturing opening a bottle and hearing a chorus of people booing.

I used to think root beer had eggs in it. I had read a story in which the main character hated eggs, and told her mom she would never eat another egg. So later, when she wanted a root beer float, her mom said she couldn't have one because it had eggs in it.
And somehow, I missed the "float" part, and thought she couldn't have root beer 'cos it had eggs in it. Truly. I thought, "Oh, maybe that's why it's foamy." The sad thing is that a little tiny part of me, while I know that no eggs are harmed in the making of root beer, senses an eggyness about root beer. Which is just odd, I know.

When i was three i was quoted saying this...
"Grandma, it was the Eeriest thing! I got a beer for grandpa but when i opened it it sprayed in my eye"
at the time i had no idea what eerie was but i did think it was a miracle for canned liquids to spray at you...

If you drank too much coffee, you would get bow legs!

I was watching TV and I saw this lady stumbling around. I asked my mom what was wrong and she told me that the lady was drunk. I avoided drinking water for years after.

My Mother used to drink coffee all the time. In the winter she said it warmed her, which I could understand. In the summer she said it cooled her, which she explained to me was caused because by putting hot liquid in her, it caused her body to go into "cool down" mode to conteract it.

when I was in college, I have a colleague who is from the country side of the city, when I was waiting in line at the water fountain i said to him seriously "you know what the water we are drinking was just going in circles and we are drinking the same water over and over again" he looked at me and said "really I never thought of that, thnaks anyway for the info" from that day on he never drunk from the water fountain because he thought It was true.

After few years we met again and asked me if its really true about the water fountain, I was surprised that he still remembers what I said, and I told him that is wasnt true at all I just want you to hurry up so I can get my turn.

I used to believe that when people said that they "didn't drink", that they really didn't drink...anything, ever!. No water, milk, soda, etc...
I used to see/hear this on TV shows a lot. "No thanks, I don't drink."

I was flabbergasted!

I used to believe that my mom was a magical demon who wanted to poison me with orange juice that had smallpox. For years I hated orange juice and the first time i tried it, I had her drink it first, and, on sheer chance, I had food poisoning. The next time I tried O.J. was when I had a lot of homework due the next day and forgot my books. I was in big trouble. I later developed a craving for the stuff.

When having wine with dinner my parents gave me "wine of the earth". This was water but I couldn't believe we were being allowed alcohol!

For years, Seven-up was one of the only cokes on the market that didn't have caffeine in it, and because they advertised it on the label, and that was the only coke that Mama would allow me to have, I called it "no-caffeine" for years.

When I was 5 or 6 my grandparents had some friend of theirs drop in during the afternoon. He was stumbling around the kitchen and fell into the frying pan, and my grandparents told me he was blind and couldn't see. Years later I asked my gramma who that blind guy was. She figured out a while later this was some neighbour who had gotten really drunk and been kicked out of his house by his wife. They told me he was blind so I wouldn't know he was so drunk. I never even guessed.

S.C.

Up until someone explained what alchohol did to you, and that it is called "drinking", I never understood what people had against "drinking" in certian situations, like in the car.

I remember saying to some adult friend of my Grandfather's: "why can't you drink in your car? Grandpa lets me drink in the car all the time?" He laughed out loud... Of course I was talking about pop or juice, but I can see now how this would have been a funny statement.

My aunt used to tell her son which is my cousin that if you drink coffee your knees will turn black.
