When I would go to Japanese restaurants, my dad would order Wonton soup, except I thought it was called "One-ton" soup. I never understand why someone would eat so much soup.

My dad told me SPAM was made of Squirrel, Possum, and Mice YUM YUM

Up until about 4 years ago, I thought that hens only gave UNfertilized eggs to the farmers and kept the other ones to be hatched into little chicks. Therefore, when I was eating the eggs from the grocery store, I was not technically eating a potential "baby chicken". I felt pretty stupid when I was arguing with a friend about it one day....then it hit me--my dad is a big fat liar.

P.S. I am 30 years old.

I used to think preserves (like jam) and preservatives were the same thing and I heard people say preservatives were bad for you so I wondered why people would eat pure preservatives

Used to wonder why a hamburger is called that if it doesn't have any ham...

My older brother told me that if you ate nothing but bananas and vaseline all your life, you would live forever.

when i was around 10, i was very picky with my food. my dad would come home with groceries, and i would look through them and tell him i didn't like any of it. my dad got frustrated and exclaimed, "what are you going to eat? air?!" my 4-year-old brother then yelled, "i want air! i want air! did you buy air at the store?"

When I was little I used to think that you made breakfast sausage by putting weiners in the toaster, the same way you made toast by putting bread in the toaster. That's what I thought toasters were for, turning "everyday food" into "breakfast food".

When I was little I used to believe if I ate enough chicken wings I'd be able to fly. I don't know where I got that idea but nobody in my family told me that.

I am the only girl (now a woman) between two brothers. I was once told by my older brother that flies were raisins with wings. Believing him, I would chase flies whenever I saw them, try to catch them, and eat them! Fortunately, I was too young to be coordinated enough to actually catch flies.

I thought the tapioca bits in tapioca pudding were fish eyes until I was twelve.

My mom encouraged this belief so I wouldn't eat her pudding.

My brother used to believe there was special money to be used at each fast food place, especially McDonald's. This belief stemmed from my mother's favorite response when we'd ask to go to Mickey D's: "I don't HAVE any McDonald's money right now!"

I used to think that if you crushed unsugared corn flakes really good. That eventually it would turn into ground beef. That belief stemmed when I saw my dad make meatloaf when I younger.

Because cereal couldn't possibly be an ingredient to dinner.

I used to believe that i had to store food in my room for the winter like the squirrels. I would collect cereal, crakers and canned soups. This was pretty handy when mum send me to bed without supper.

It took me a long time to figure out that "gorilla cheese sandwiches" were indeed grilled, not prepared by with or for a gorilla.

My brother and I used to believe that eating sardine tails would make us turn into Daleks. We still ate them sometimes though and carried on the belief despite the lack of evidence!

Linda

I used to believe that if i didn't eat all my frosties Tony the Tiger would come and eat me
