When I was really little...maybe like 3 or 4, I used to believe that cups of juice magically refilled themselves, because I would finish mine and leave it on the table and then, while I was gone, my mom would refill it...so when I came back it was like magic! :-)

When I was a kid I noticed that my Grandfather and my Uncles had crooked teeth and the thing they all had in common was that they drank beer. So I came to the conclusion that if you drink beer it will give you crooked teeth.

I used to manage restaurants. One of my hostesses, still in high school, was just back from spring break in Mexico and was singing the praises of Tequila. Being young she was kind of one of the junior animal activists. You know the type…sort of the conscious of convenience. Not the brightest bulb on Broadway either.

For about a day I had her convinced that Agave was Spanish for seal. She believed, if only for a day, that Tequila was made from baby seals.

She cried and I felt kind of bad.

I used to believe that if I shook a bottle of water as fast as I could I would be able to carbonate it like soda.

i was sitting with grandma one scortching hot day, she had a glass of ice water. she told me the condensation on the outside of the glass was water seeping through the glass. i believed this one until about a year ago. teehee

When I was pretty young my favorite drink was Mountain Dew... right up until my sister told me it was mountain goat pee. It took me a few years to start drinking it again.

When I was younger, I thought cows and horses were opposites...So it was obvious to me that cows made milk, and horses made orange juice, because to me, orange juice and milk were opposites too...

When I was little I always wondered why the water at McDonald's tasted so strange. My dad told me that it's because McDonalds used old dishwater.

For years I pictured McDonald's employees, mad that I didn't buy a soda, scooping up used water out of a dishwasher.

(Now I know it's because the water comes out of the same tap as pop.)

I used to think that if you mixed a diet drink with a regular drink, it would explode.

I used to believe that drinking anything that was red-- kool aid,fruit punch or tomato juice, gave you more blood

When I was little I always thought that when someone quit drinking, they litterally "quit drinking" everything. I could not for the life of me understand why someone would want to do that.

When I first learnt how to make drinks, I asked my aunt why she stirred the drink after adding water. She said the act will make the drink sweeter. For a long time, I thought one can make any drink sweet by stirring. And for the same reason, one cannot stir something that is naturally sweet (like orange juice, coke...) or not meant to be sweet (like soup).

i thought that soft drinks in America would explode in a person's mouth bocause they call it 'pop'.

all the adults around me when i was little drank coffee but my mum said that if children drank coffee they would grow tails. i believed this for years.

When I was younger I thought that the popping sound in my soda was tons of people clapping. Then I felt bad after I drank the soda.

In my religon, we are taught not to drink caffien, that it is bad for your body. Due to this, i grew up thinking caffien and alchahol were the same thing. I put drinks like pepsi and coke in the same catagory as beer and wine.
Anyway, one day we had a party at school, and there was pizza and pop. The pop was pepsi! i was astounded that they would serve an alchoholic drink at school. When i went home i was trying to tell my mom about it, but i forgot what drink it was so i told her it was beer! "Are you sure it wasnt root beer?" she said. "No!" i said, "it was the kind of beer with alchohol in it!"

you may never know

When i was young, i used to believe that moonshine was a drink people left outside in the moonlight in giant barrells. thus moon would shine on the drink, and make it special.

When I was 3 years old my best friend and I would sit in the grass behind his house, overlooking a pasture with grazing cows, and drink from our juice bottles. He told me that the foam resulting from our shaking the bottles was cow dung that somehow magically transported itself into the bottle. I don't know about him but I believed it. Oddly enough, it didn't discourage me from drinking it. On the contrary, we both thought it was really cool!

1977 was a very hot and dry year in Britain and it was then on day in summer that my Dad, who had been outin the garden for a while, convinced us that the lemonade left in the fridge was 'grown up' lemonade. We littleuns just had water.

thirsty

i used to believe that the slower you poured milk into coffee or tea, the more milk you would be able to get into the cup
