i used to believe that soda bottles, like a 2 liter Coke bottle wasnt actually full of coke, i thought it was just the top, the sides, and the bottom were dark colored and there was air in the space between.

I used to play a handheld video game on long road trips with my family. The only time that I was able to beat the game is when I was drinking mello-yello. So that soft drink had to be good luck for me.
Now who's to say that I outgrew it, at my wedding we had a fountain flowing that beautiful yellow nectar.

I used to believe the man on the label of Tasters Choice coffee was Mr. Rogers from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. He DOES look like him!

i thought when people said they dont drink that they never drank anything, not even water

sam

coffee is just tea without the teabag

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 little my grandfather told me the pulp in orange juice was fly wings. I lived in Hawaii so everyday at school I would catch as many flies as I could and pull their wings off so they couldn't put them in the orange juice anymore. I remember having flies running around my desk before they eventually died because I had pulled off their wings, but it was better than having to drink them in the juice.

When i was about nine, i used to go around my best friend's house nearly everyday. Occasionally her dad would drink alcohol, but her mum always told him off because they had a 'young guest' (me). Consequently, he would hide his liquor in old Detox bottles, and my friend and i would sometimes see him drinking from them. For several years after that, i believed that bleach was a refreshing drink- thank god i never tried it!

I used to believe that 'no drinking in public' meant you cant drink... anything in public.
Im walking down the sidewalk with my mom and she takes a drink of water and i scream "Are you TRYING to get arrested????"

I used to believe that a drinking problem actually was when you had a problem getting the drink to your mouth-- like they showed on "Airplane"

I thought all soda pop and my dad's beer came in bottles. When soda and beer became commonly found in cans, that seemed real strange to me...tasted different, too. The soda anyway, I'm not a beer drinker.

Several years ago, Burger King's kids meals had Ghostbusters theme. My nanny (in an attempt to get me to wait 'til we had say down to open my fizzy drink) told me that if I opened the can, Slimer would come out. I envisaged the huge holographic Slimer from the Ghostbusters film, and never, EVER opened that can.

When I was a little kid I used to believe that when you pour a drink very slowly you save more.

When I was 3 or 4 my older sister would always press the correct bump on the top of fast food drink lids (Coke, Diet, Other) to mark which was hers. When I asked her what she did it for, she told me some bumps made the straw harder to drink out of. Everytime I pressed mine down she told me it was the wrong one, but someday I would get it right.

i used to believe that you could spin and shake your cup around in circles in order to make more to drink....so when i was running out of juice, i would sit and spin my cup around for the longest time expecting more liquid to appear....it never worked...but i still do it to this day!

When I was young I used to believe that if you took an asprin and drank a coke real fast you'd get drunk. I never knew anyone daring enough to try it.

Padfoot

that coffee had to go into thick cups and tea in thin cups. This is because tea is thinner than coffee!

By the way, I am now thirty and I still believe this!! I just found out today that this isn't correct!!!

I used to believe that if you drank same thing and swooshed it around in your mouth, that it would turn into pee.

Not my belief, but I caused it.

I work at an after school care centre. There is a water cooler in the room, which is available to children, staff and other adults to use whenever they want. It's a standard model with a little container under the taps to catch any water. It needs to be emptied every now and again.

One child was pushing the lever on the tap, just to fill up the container, so I told him that if the container gets too full and overflows, it gets into the electronics of the dispenser. Because we were in an old building, the electrical system wasn't that great, and the water would go from the cooler to the circuits, knocking out the power to the whole building.

The child backed away immediately! I can't believe I made it up on the spot.

My sister used to believe that she lost more weight if she drank Coke out of the bottles rather than from a cup or a can. HAHAHA!
