When I was small the sweets called "Smarties" had a slogon "watalotigot". I thought this was another name in another language for the sweets. But it actually says "What alot I got".

I believed Smarties made you smarter. Or standing underneath or by anything that advertised smarties made you smart

Dark brown Smarties were poisonous.

When I was little my parents used to tell me and my sister that carrots were "orange candy."

I used to believe that the middle of Cadbury's Cream Eggs was a real baby chick and used to cry when i saw them in shops!

WHen my parents told me not to eat alot of candy cause I could be bouncing off the walls I didnt eat any more candy form when I was like 5 to 15 cause I thought I would literally bounce around the house off the walls!!!

When I was little my grandmother told me that blue Smarties tasted bitter and only grown ups liked the taste. Now, of course, I realise she was conning me out of chocolate. That will always be my funniest memory of her.

When my mom was little, a family friend told her that candy corn (her favorite candy) would grow into a plant and produce more candy if she planted it. She and her sister wasted an entire bag of candy corn.

I used to call "M&M's" "nominees"

I use to believe that if I ate to much sugar just by itself, it would become worms inside my stomach.

every friday my brother and i would get a 50cent mixture (50 cents worth of lollies in a little paper bag).i remember when mum told me that not every kid got lollies on fridays and this made me very confused because i thought that the whole world did it, not just my family

My parents got me with "marsh melons." I used to believe that marshmallows grew on vines in swampy areas, kind of like pumpkins, and that there were whole marshmallow farms like cranberry bogs. Little did I know it was a Star Trek joke!

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.

My parents are both very well informed when it comes to eating healthily- and they're also very clever and tactful people. When they first had my older brother, they managed to convince him that raisins were sweets. When I was born, almost four years later, they convinced me of the same thing. It wasn't until I was three and he was seven that we finally figured out that they were lying!

My first taste of Gushers was when I was like nine. And I was very hesitant about it because I thought you could really turn into a fruit if you ate them. But I kept thinking "Okay come on that's ridiculous it can't be true" and I ended up eating them. The only problem with them is that they taste like dirt.

I used to believe that doughnuts were made by putting apples in the microwave.

I used to beleive that if you didn't eat the head first off of a gummy animal, The gummy would eat you from the inside out.

I used to believe that gushers would turn my head into fruit
