As a very small child shopping with my mother, I saw my mum put a can of tuna in the shopping trolley with a picture of a dolphin on the side (meaning it was dolphin free tuna). I, however, thought it meant it contained dolphins and went into complete hysterics.

My mom used to use a ricer to mash potatoes. The potatoes come out in a thin stream, and I thought that you cut the stream in little pieces and that's how you got rice.

It never ocurred to me in my childhood that vanilla and white chocolate are completely different flavors. After all, they're both white...

I used to think Tomato soup was Lava.

My cousin and I used to believe that if we ate enough food, we would get so big we could lay down in the streets and everyone in the world could jump on our stomaches like trampolines. Needless to say, our plates were usually clean.

When I was young I hated butter and insisted that all the bread/toast I ate was dry. I remember thinking that the toast was still quite "runny" and asked my dad if he'd put butter on it. He said no, it was only the "toast juice". I believed this for a very long time...

When I was little, I thought ketchup came from ketchup trees

When I was younger and my family went out to Chinese food we always ordered several spicy dishes. Consequently I would drink a lot of water with the meal. On the way home from dinner I always needed to pee really badly. For YEARS I thought that there was some ingredient in fortune cookies that made people need to pee.

When I was young I would play grocery store in our family's pantry. I realized one day they list the ingredients on the labels of food products and assumed this was a recipe. I couldn't for the life of me understand why you would put the recipe of your product on the back of your product, and why, for that matter, my mom would buy it instead of just making it herself!

Remember "I can't believe it's not butter?" I used to believe it was this big scam done by the CIA just to trick people into thinking that this stuff WASN'T butter - but really, they were all just being tricked into eating more butter.

When I was little I knew that it was illegal to drink & drive, however I thought it was illegal to drink anything (pop, water, juice, etc.) which also made me think that it was illegal to eat & drive. so everytime my praents and I went through a fast food drive through and ate in the car I would get really scared we'd get arrested.

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave your special powers. the orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. so i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. i wish it were true!

I used to belive that hamburgers were infact called "handburgers" because you ate them out of your hand :D

When I was a kid, whenever my mum asked if my little brother and I would like to go to the local McDonalds, I would ask if Ronald McDonald was going to be there. I was convinced he was evil and would kidnap and eat me. Its only recently that McDonalds have finally dropped him from their marketing. I guess its finally safe for me to go there now.

When I was little, my mom used to give me pea soup. Since it was green, I was sure it was made with turtles. It might sound nasty, but I loved it

To get me to eat my tomato soup, my mom told me it was "Porky Pig Soup", since she made it with milk and it was kind of pink. Since I loved the color pink and Porky Pig, I ate it up!!

I disliked onions. My mum used to buy special 'turnip onions' and for years I believed this was a real type of vegetable!

My father never liked onions so we never ate them. Conesquently whenever we ate at McDonald's and I had my Juniorburger I thought the little pieces of onion were rice.

Once, when I was about 8 years old, my mom allowed me to make a batch of brownies from a box mix. The directions said, "Stir by hand" so that is what I did: I stuck my hand in the bowl of batter to stir. My mom and I both got a good laugh out of that one.
