My little sister was constantly winding me up when we were younger, so to get my own back I told her that soap smelled so good because it was actually ice-cream.

Man, she pulled the foulest face after biting into that! The taste stayed with her for ages as well...

I used to belive that if you ate anything that had mould growing on it, you would grow mould on your skin.

When I was little, I thought that ants were chocolate sprinkles with legs. I would eat them out of their little holes.I finally learned that they were insects by buying myself chocolate covered ants in a museum and my parents went ewww!

For the longest time I thought that tapioca pudding was really fish eggs in pudding.

My neighbors belief:

My neighbor's mother and father used to tell her, her two sisters, and her brother that pork was a dirty meat. I'm not really sure why they think that, but to this day not one of them has touched a piece of pork. My neighbor won't even let her husband or 2 boys eat pork.

My older brother told me that the reason apple butter is brown is because the farmers who make it spit their tobacco juice in it while it is cooking. I wouldn't eat apple butter for years afterward.

Another girl told me that vienna sausages had been cut off of little boys. I had younger brothers and it seemed believable to me. Ruined my appetite for viennas, too!

As a youngster, my older brother told me that polish sausage was really the bull's genitals.

i used to believe that a kiwi fruit was a genetically modified fruit made from melon and banana (the banana being the middle). why? because my best friend told me so, so i believed her, and would never eat it after that... or until I discovered that it was a joke, and then discovered that I am illergic to kiwi fruit!

When we were younger i told my little brother (5 years younger than me) that beef burgers were made from beef and human brain! he believed me for years and even to this day my family still call them 'brain - burgers'!

Evil-big-sister!

that the chinese dish Hunan beef was really made from humans. To this day, I have never ordered it.

When I was about 6 my uncle used to tell my 4 year old brother and I that butter was made from snot, I never believed him but my brother being very gullible did. My mom caught him once putting some snot on a piece of toast. :)
