Sometimes you get the burned rice krispy in with your bowl of cereal. As a young child, I was always worried that it was not a burned rice puff but, in fact, a booger which had fallen out of my nose.

I would inspect each bite to make sure I was not eating this booger. Often times, I could not find the "booger" when I was done eating, making me feel sick knowing that I had most likely eaten it.

When I was young my mother used to put hot sause in our mouths if we talked back. My sister thaught that if she put the hot sause in the frigde it wouldn't be "hot" anymore, she shortly found out that that thought was incorrect

When I was litte, I was eating a banana when a family friend told me the little brown "seeds" inside were actually spider eggs. I didn't eat bananas for years.

My Dad used to call Soya Sauce "Crow's Blood" I believed him for soooooo long. I think until I was like 11. Yikes.

When I was 3 I was still in diapers, and I have a few vague memories of having my diaper changed. One time I had a few little turds in there, and I saw them before my mum threw the diaper away, and I thought that they looked like raisins. After that, I was convinced that raisins were really the same thing as turds, and I was horrified when I saw people eating them, even after my mum told me that they used to be grapes - after all, I ate grapes and produced turds, so for all I knew, that was how the process went. I'm disgusted by raisins still.

When we were young, my brother and I convinced our baby brother that a large skillet full of lard was actually chocolate fondue -- he immediately stuck a spoonful in his mouth! It was warm and he couldn't tell right off, but he chased us around the kitchen trying to hit us with the spoon! He was around 5 or 6 years old then.
Months later, I told him that hearts of palm were string cheese and he ate a whole one in milliseconds only to discover the brinish/vinegary taste! To this day he will not eat one. He is almost 19 years old!

I was told that bananas were grown inside pigs stomachs and that when they ate the food went into the banana skins and when they went to the toilet bananas came out.So I would not eat bananas when I was 3.

I was always a picky eater so my diet pretty much consisted on the same contents. Well, my mother used to cook me Mrs. Grass soup in which little green vegetables were cut up in. After studying the soup, I came to the conclusion that those bits of whatever it was floating around in there were dead flies. It took only a few stubborn refusals that my mom asked me what my reasoning was to not eat the soup she had taken the time to fix so I finally confessed that I knew that a small collection of deceased insects were laid to rest in my soup. Needless to say, she had quite the chuckle.

When i was 6 my mother thought it was funny to insist that chocolate pudding was made of poop...i didn't eat the stuff for years after that.

My mother was about 12 years older than her youngest brother. When he was a small child she told him that coconut was monkey armpit hairs and he still won't eat anything with coconut to this day (he's in his forties).
