In the first grade, standing in the lunchline, I told the other boys that the weenies the cooks were serving were actually weeners cut off other boys to make girls. How else could you make a girl? This made alot of the boys swear off hotdogs.

When I was 5 or so, my uncle told me that little green men lived under mushrooms. Of course I believed him and never ate mushrooms again. To this day I still can't don't eat them.

My dad always said I would get hair on
my chest if I ate my Mashed potaotes.
Of course I didnt want hair on my chest so I refused to eat them. My mother used to make me sit till I ate all my food on the plate, so If i ate the potatoes naturally I would get sick.

Not me, but my girlfriend.
When she was younger, her aunty told her that a bug lives in the end of a banana. She still chops off each end of a banana to this day...

You have seen the package of Kellogs`s corn flakes, the one with the rooster with the small, red "beard"? Well, I thought that the corn flakes were made of the rooster`s "red beard".

If I was bad as a children mum said: DO you want me to hit you. I always thought that meant that she would give me bad food.

I used to believe that the little brown squiggles you got in biscuits were actually flies. I think I was about 15 before I found out they were actually raisins.

at a thanksgiving dinner when i was about six, cousin malcolm told me that bleu cheese (there was bleu cheese salad dressing present) was made, via a complicated and arduous process, from lambs' vomit. i'll eat it, now (i'm 32), but i still think of that every time.

When I was about 4 years old, my older sister told me that the little black things
in the end of a banana were flies´ eggs, and if I ate them, they would hatch inside my stomach. Because of that, I never ate the bottom part of bananas until I was about 9-10.

My father used to tell me that mayonnaise was made from maggots and I believed him.

When I was a child, my step brother told me he had heard a story about a restaurant who couldn't afford to buy shrimp to put on their pizzas. Instead, they cut up baby mice and served them in place of shrimp. I believed him. To this day, I will not eat shrimp.

When I was young we used to order pizza on Friday nights, and I hated it, because my parents would always order saugage and peppers, and I thought thats the only way pizza came, so I used to eat mac and cheese, till I got older and figured out it came however you wanted it. Never let my parents live that one down...

I overhead my mother talking with someone one day when I was around four years old about someone that didn't drink. When I asked "didn't they ever get thirsty?", she explained that it meant the person didn't drink alcohol. I thought she meant rubbing alcohol, and I wondered about people that actually DID drink that awful stuff...

I used to think kidney beans were rock hard and strong tasting, so I used to eat around them when I ate chilli con carne.

My Dad told me that Soy Sauce was made of grasshopper spit! I didn't eat it for YEARS!
