I thought that Elmer's Glue was OK to eat because it said "Borden" on the label, showed a cow (actually a bull) on the label, and it was white like milk.

when i was little, my sister and i hated vegetables and everything else that our parents said was "nutricious",so my mom straightfacedly told us that peices of brocolli were baby trees and mashed potatoes were tiny clouds. we beleived her and were downright overjoyed whenever we got them for dinner

I learned my first 'naughty' words in the 6th grade. I also stopped eating fish-sticks in the 6th grade. If you say fish-sticks fast enough they sound a little gross... I still can't get myself to eat them.

once when I was eating a hotdog, my sister told me the reason ketchup was sometimes spelled katsup, that it was made from cats blood!

blah blah blah

I used to think that there was a little boogy in every end of ice cream cones (the type that are pointy).

One evening, I asked my mom what she was cooking, and she replied, "Beef heart". Thinking she had said "Bee fart", I proclaimed, "I'm not eating stinker meat!"

I used to think that peas were the poop of the catfish in our pond, so I never ate them. Now I know that that's not true and I love peas! :D

We had a cat named Staccato when I was very young, and since I couldn't pronounce Staccato I called her Taco. When I started school, we were having cafeteria food and in line I was told we were having Tacos. I cried and cried and refused to eat. I thought everyone was eating my cat.

All growing up, whenever we had Tapioca pudding, my mother told everyone who had any that the tapioca were actually fish-eyes...this kept my next-door neighbor from ever eating Tapioca pudding...of course, I thought it was cool!

To get us to eat Liver, my mom used to call it Velvet Steak. (Steak was a very rare treat) So we were always excited about it, until we figured it out in our teens. For some reason it tasted better when it was called Velvet Steak!

My aunt used to fry eggplant, It was her favorite vegetable. She told me that they were chicken nuggets. She told me what they really were, and I never ate my aunt's supposed chicken nuggets again.

Just to be cruel, my brother told me that Rice Crispies where dried moth eggs/larva. I didn't eat Rice Crispies for several years.

I used to believe that tapioca pudding was made from fish eggs. I ate it anyways, even though I hate fish! (Yeah, I'm weird!)

Mojo!

When I was younger my older brother convinced me that cornflakes were made of elephants, which caused me to avoid them like the plague for all of three days, during which time I confined myself to weetabix.

I used to believe my brother! I used to LOVE lemon meriguine pie, but one day my brother asked me to tell him what it was made out of. I told him lemons and sugar, but he corrected me by saying it was made from vaseline! I still can't eat lemon meriguine pie today!

I used to believe that if you ate too much escargots(snails)you will become very slow at things and the snot when you sneeze will become very slimey.
