A baby-sitter once told me that peanutbutter really was baby-shit. I never ate peanutbutter again.

My brother (who, believe it or not is now a priest) told me that the tapioca in tapioca pudding was fish eyes! To this day, I still can't eat tapioca pudding because of that!

A mean, older kid that knew I had a phobia of vomit told me if I drank orange juice in the morning I would get really sick because of the acids. It took me years to completely convince myself that that was untrue.

When I was a child, I used to sneak sips of coffee out of my mother's coffee mug. To make me stop, she told me that drinking coffee would turn your feet black.

I will never drink a cup of tea to the bottom, as when I was about seven my younger brother convinced me that the tea leaves were poisonous if swallowed

When I was 6, my older brother told me that ketchup was made of groundup earth worms. I didn't touch the stuff until I had turned almost 23 years old.

I usesd to believe that eating orange peel would give you worms. so used to eat it anyway out of spite.

When i was about 8 or so my sisters would tell make stories up and I was so gullible. One day my dad came home with box of fig neutons and my sisters didn't want to share with me so they told me that the stuff inside of fig neutons was made out of worms and ever since I haven't eaten them.

I used to think that if I ate sugar out of the sugarbowl I would get worms in my stomach.

As a child my family and I were eating tapioca pudding. My dad told me we were eating fish eggs just to tease me. Since then I have not been able to eat tapioca pudding.

My Dad wanted so bad for me to not eat pork, that he told me that solomi was "MONKEY BRAIN" so that i wouldn't eat it.

When I was 7 my mom told me that cuoscuos was actually caterpiller toenails. She made up this huge story about how they have special toenail clippers just for caterpillers. I believed her untill my neighboor gave her away. To this day i wont eat couscous.

We dont have head cheese (if that is how you write it?) in Britain, but I knew it was something Americans ate by watching TV. I imagined it as this skinned, hollowed out human skull with a big lump inside it that was a mix of human brain, human flesh, and some cheese. I could never understand why anyone would want to eat this, and thought Americans had really weird taste in food.

When I was little my brother convinced me that guacamole was made from lizards called guacs....i believed this until i was about 9 or 10...

When I was in kindergarten I would eat nothing but hotdogs for lunch at school. As many of us know, they aren't exactly the healthiest meal, so my dad tried to convince me not to eat them by telling me they were made of worms. After that I despised the taste of hotdogs, and although I now know that they aren't actually made of worms, I still haven't aten a hotdog since kindergarten.

I used to believe that peanut butter was baby poo

My dad told me when I was 5 that tapioca pudding had fish eggs in it and I have never eaten it since and I am now 30.

I used to believe chicken hot dogs were made of their intestines (yup) till I was as old as 18. It started as a joke, but eventually a lot of people around me started to believe so because my talks aren't usually rubbished! LOL!
