I used to believe that 'broctoyouby' was a word. On commercial television after every show they would say the show was 'brought to you by' and then the name of the sponsor.

When you see a captain crunch commercial, at the end, everyone goes "crunchitize me captain".
when i was little, i thaught they said " Sodomise me captain". I didn't know what sodomise meant but i had heard it somewhere. i was eating captain crunch one morning and blurted out "sodomise me captain!" my parents just stood there in utter shock. they later explained what sodomise meant.

Not really a belief, but the advert for galaxy chocolate, used to say "why have cotton when you can have silk?" so when i was young I used to refer to galaxy as "silk". In the middle of supermarkets i'd look to mum and say "could we get a bar of silk?"
and people would give us strange looks

When I was little there was this dog food brand called Chuck Wagon, and in their commercials this little wagon would come out from the cupboard and race around the house. When we got some for our dog, my older brother would shout "There it goes around the corner! You just missed it!" And he would have me chasing this nonexistant wagon all over the house.

You know how on car commercials in tiny print it says "professional driver, closed course" and the logo for the Volks Wagen company is "Driver's Wanted" well i always thought until i was about 15 or 16 (now I am 17) that the Volks Wagen company needed professional drivers for the closed courses on their commercials!

When I was a child there was an advertisement on TV where they tried to sell a remedy against lice, rash and other things like that. They repeated the advertisement so many times that I learnt it by heart. I repeated the words of the advertiser lots of times before someone explained me what "pubis lice" meant.

When I watched T.V. and saw those commercials for products and they said "call the number on the screen" I thought that to get the thing they were advertising I had to write the number on the window screen and when it didn't come I got really mad.

One night, when I was six, I saw a car salesman doing a tv commercial in broad daylight. I mentioned to my aunt (she was 11) that the salesman must have been on the other side of the world because the sun was shining. She rudely tried to explain to me about pre-recorded film. I think I got that part. But I still don't understand how the images get to the tv in my house.

When I was a kid, there used to be a car commercial for a local dealership. The catch phrase was "Go see Cal" and was sung. For years, my sister thought they were singing "Pussy Cow."

When I was little, really little, I thought that the commercials on tv about food was what the people in the grocery store was stocking at that exact moment. I know this sounds stupid!!!!!

when i was around 4....i used to believe ms. buttersworth was alive...since they made her alive in the commericals.........so when i'd go and open the cabinet door...and saw her...i'd slam the door and run...screaming "ahhh...she's alive!!"

I used to pick up Mrs. Butterworth bottles and try to get them to talk to me like they did in the commercials.

And then when i was about 11 or 12 i saw an add on tv and i sung along with it, singing those words. my friend picked up on it and still will never let me forget it.

In an advert from years ago about a chocolate egg with a model of a football player inside the lyrics that went with it were:
football crazy chocolate mad
My version went: Little crazy chocolate men.
HAHA!
