when i was like four, my mom took me with her to pick my brothr upfrom school, and i had a pack of skittles. i thought that if i planted some skittles and watered them, then a giant rainbow would appear and it would rain skittles, just like on the old commercials. I remember i got so upset at my mom for not letting me go to the waterfountain at the school so that i could plant the skittles.

When I was young I used to think that ice cream came on the cones in the box. I was always dissapointed when it didn't have any.

When I was young my mum forbade me to eat blue m&m's 'cause she believed they gave people cancer.. to this day i've never eaten one

My sister and I used to try to convince our mom to buy us Smarties by telling her that eating Smarties will make us smarter.

I was 4, sitting on my grandfather's lap, when he asked me if I wanted a Ding Dong. I was relieved when he gave me the foil-wrapped snack cake instead of what I thought he meant.

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.

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

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 cotton candies were made by airplanes or helicopters flying high up in the sky and getting a big plastic bag or glass to scoop out some clouds. Then colour it then wrap it..
I was a pretty silly kid back then...

My Mother told me that too much sugar would give you worms, high school Biology was my first insight as to the origin of parasitic infestation

I used to believe that ice cream cam from ice and lotion, because my mom called lotion 'cream'. If ice is edible, lotion is too, eight?

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

I used to think Timbits (mini doughnuts from Tim Hortons) came from the center of doughnuts, and that was why doughnuts have holes in the middle.

I had a friend when I was little that was eating Lemon Heads candy, and she said she was taking her medicine. For several years after that, I never at a single Lemon Head because I didn't want to take medicine if I wasn't sick. I always thought it was irresponsible of the store owners to sell medicine right next to the candy.

When I was about 5, I had a packet of Skittles and my sister whose name begins with an 'S' told me that you were only allowed to eat the sweets with your initial on. So she went through the whole packet and ate every single sweet...I only realised later that every Skittle has an S on it.

When I was little, my dad used to pack Mentos Candy in his brief case. I would often ask for one, and I guess he didn't want to share, because he todl me they were medicine. So I thought for years that mentos were some kind of medicine. Once, my grandmother offered me a few Mentos from her purse, and she couldn't figure out why I thought they were medicine.

I know a man who, as a child, believed that marshmallows grew on vines, in pods just like peas. He always wondered how they managed to get the seeds out without damaging the marshmallow!

I used to believe that because Yorkie bars had the slogan "not for girls" on them that shops wouln't actually sell them to me!
