When I was about 6 I wanted to be a professional baseball player, but I was very upset to see that they all chewed tobacco. I was very excited to discover that when you chewed on lots of tootsie rolls that it looked like you were chewing tobacco. I figured when I got to the major leagues I would fool them that way
A childhood belief about sport

others believed things like this
- I thought for some reason that chewing tobacco was REQUIRED for Major League Baseball players.— Jeff
- I used to think that Tabasco Sauce contained tobacco, and therefore was actually "tobacco sauce."
Anon - I used to believe that big grasshoppers would spit tobacco at you if you got too close to them.— Uni
- i used to think tabasco sauce was tobacco so i'd always be like "mom! dont put that in our food!!"Anon
- For whatever reason, I thought that grass was slang for tobacco rather than marijuana.Anon
- I used to be scared that if I chewed my cuticles and swallowed a piece of skin, I would become a cannibal. Anon
