I believed that if I didn’t “hole some” food I would turn into a skeleton. Donuts were the best, but I would always insist that my mother not cut my baloney sandwich in half so I could bite a hole in the center before eating the rest.

When i was small my big brother told me that if you put the little seeds you find at the bottom of a tub of popcorn in your mouth for long enough they pop into hundreds of pieces of popcorn. i kept one in my mouth for 2 hours, when i was older they told me it was just to shut me up during movies!

I used to think eating spanish rice would make you speak spanish, so whenever I took a bite I would say "hola"

I didn't understand about boiled eggs until my Mum explained I wasn't supposed to eat the shell as well.

Aged about six or seven, I was sat eating breakfast with my father and grandfather and asked them what "Daddies" brown sauce was made of. "It's made of daddies", they told me. I was horrified and was convinced for years that some day the sauce people would come and make my Dad into sauce.

I used to think that eggs were made in a factory. The oval shell made them fit perfectly in the egg cartons.

When I was little I was told that carrots were good for your teeth, so every time I ate carrots and would rub them over my teeth like I was brushing. I was convinced it gave me whiter teeth.

I used to believe that Chicken Mc Nuggets were made from baby chicks

When I was a child, they began to make tuna fish in a can "dolphin safe" so every can of tuna had the words on it "dolphin safe." Therefore, I thought that dolphins had tuna in their bodies, that the fishermen would catch the dolphins, remove the tuna, and put the dolphins back in the ocean before they died.

I used to believe that meat grew on animals and it that it could be cut off without killing or even hurting the animal.

When I was young, I always believed that when I ordered a fish sandwich at McDonald's (or anywhere else) they actually had to take the fish out of a pond in the back of the restaurant and cook it.

My aunt would always tell me that eating pinapples would make my eyebrows grow, my little brother too! We believed her, and always ate as many pinapples as we could, so our eyebrows wouldn't dissapear!

Anna

I used to think that sausages where made from cow's udders.

I used to believe that inside popcorn were tiny men who hated the heat. So when you heated them up they would get so mad they would pop. And for that reason I wouldn't eat popcorn because then I would be a cannibal and I couldn't believe that anyone would eat a tiny blown up man.

Before I could read, I believed "macaroni and cheese" was "Macaronian cheese," a way of preparing cheese, originating in Macaronia.

I used to believe that pretzels were made from wood....

When I was about 5 or 6 and my sister was about 16 or 17 she had a lot of friends who came over for slumber parties and what not. Well one, who was a rather tall girl, at least 6'0 or so use to tell me that I was so cute that she could eat me up. She used to kiss me sometimes too and I thought this was her either her tasting me or trying to eat me!

I would hide when she came over. Being the small boy I was I thought that she could have easily swallowed me whole!

During school christmas dinners everyone used to get a chicken drumstick - I remember thinking what a terrible waste of the rest of the chicken it was.

I used to believe that duck sauce-now called in most chinese restaurants sweet and sour sauce-was made by squeezing ducks

I used to believe you could pour lemonade in a pan, put it in the oven and make lemonade cake.
