When the toaster would pop up my toast in the morning, my daughter used to call "Dad, your toast is here!" She told me she thought it was delivered each morning through the toaster.

when I was young, I was told that Cornish Pasties were made so that you could get a whole meal into a small package that you could drop down a Cornish mineshaft. I finally realised it would break when it hit the bottom when I was nineteen.

as a kid i thought that rasins were called "O.G's". the reasoning behind that was once i was eating rasins in front of the tv, tossing them all throughout the room when my mom came in and said out loud, "oh jeez".

I used to think that tassles, for some reason, were edible, until one day at a thrift shop, my mother caught me chewing on the tassles of a used military jacket. I was scolded, and my theory was debunked.

I believed that my mother invented toast.

My mother got my siblings and I to eat brocilli by saying they were "fairy trees" and thus making them special. However my elementry school was very big on teaching us the importance of saving your environment, so when I'd see huge bowls full of brocilli I'd start crying - thinking that I was aiding the deforestation in the "Fairy World" and causing their rain forests to be destroyed.

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!

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.

When I was a little girl, my brother told me that the pieces of peel in orange marmalade were the chopped up remains of Fred and Freda - my dead goldfish! 20 years later I still won't eat orange marmalade...

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.

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!
