When I was younger, my older cousins tricked me into believing that you can make ice cream by turning a "big wheel" tricycle upside down, spinning the big wheel, and yelling "ICE CREAM, ICE CREAM!". Very odd indeed.

I used to think Smarties would really make you smart, so I would eat them all the time, only to find out they just gave me tooth aches.

My farther told my brother and i that when you eat a doughnut (the kind with loads of sugar on) you wern't aloud to lick your lips or fingers untill you where finished! he would then delight it watching us try accomplish this!
(it's even harder than it sounds)

When I was about five or six years old, my mom was baking something in the kitchen that used sugar. I asked for some sugar so I could eat it, and she explained that if you eat plain sugar, you'll get worms in your stomach. I believed this for many years, probably until I was at least 11 or 12.

I used to believe that, like the commercial, if I squeezed a handful of peanuts, they would turn into a Snickers Bar.

I use to think that Now and Laters were called Nomalaters up until just recently, like last week and I'm 22!!!!!

Liz

i was always a bright child, really smart and polite, and i dont remember when it started, but my parents began to tell me that the candies Smarties were made of kids when they got to smart. And the lollypops Dumdums were made out of stupid kids. That scared me for a while because i knew i was smart

UP UNTIL I WAS 5 OR 6 I DID NOT KNOW WHAT COTTON CANDY WAS-UNTIL MY GRANDPARENTS TOOK ME AND MY SISTER TO THE STATE FAIR AND I WOULD NOT EAT IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS HAIR. I LITERALLY WANT TO VOMIT ON THE THOUGHT OF HAIR IN MY FOOD OR DRINK. ON THEIR URGING THAT IT WAS CANDY I TRIED FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO GET ME TO TRY IT. I LOVE IT. I AM NOW 34.

I used to think that inside a cadbury egg was a real egg, except it had chocolate instead of a shell. I was always afraid to eat one, because my mom had always said not to eat anything with raw egg in it.

When I was about eight I asked my older cousin if I could have some of his candy (called Toffifay). He said, "No, it's only for adults." I didn't realize that nothing stood in my way to buy it myself for years. Come to think of it my cousin isn't that much older than me.

Mea

When I was 5 or 6 my brother told me that Raisenetts (chocolate covered raisens) were actually chocolate covered flys. Still to this day I can not eat them or any raisens.

My dad used to tell me that Hostess Snowballs were only for adults. I believed him for many years

Jamie

I used to believe that vanilla wasn't a flavor. It just didn't have chocolate in it!

Andrea

I used to think that the Cadbury eggs, that come out at Easter, were filled with real egg yolk.

d

I used to believe I would be able to breath fire, just like the picture on the red hots package. I could not wait to buy them just to try that out!

my sister used to believe that the cone of an ice cream cone was poisonous and just there to hold the ice cream. she would lick out all the ice cream and throw the cone out. She believed it till she was 5. what a silly!
